Title says it all. I love botting in general, but from an annoyance standpoint, I hate botting on any of my mages the most. I have whispers going to a seperate window, and I get so many whispers for ports it isn't funny. My 2nd would be my lock, dies more than any other class I've botted. Share your experiences.
I have tried to level a mage about 3 times, And i always have problems, so mage is my choice, Pala and Priest are my favourite.
I hate botting with Deathknights. It dies a lot on me and mostly never ranks top 5 in battlegrounds. So my vote goes to DK.
Priest especially shadow priest,there isn`t a decent cc for it Actually every class must have shamwow or hazdruid like ccs instead of all in ones..
Really? Really really?! NO REALLY!?!? Default Singular Blood DK is the most survivable bot in the game. Every toon I level I have to buy new gear at 80 because LK gear just doesn't cut it in Hyjal. Except for a Blood DK. Every toon I level to 85 I have to deck out in new stuff to be able to run my dailies, except Blood DK. I have the bot kill Problim and Tank in sub-300 iLevel gear without flinching. If your botted DK dies a lot, you're doing something very wrong. My vote goes to Rogue. It's just a PITA on any CC. Then there's Druid that doesn't have any decent CCs at all. Then there's Hunter. I don't know why. No reason really. Except that I hold a grudge since Vanilla where they stole all my weapons.
Prince of Darkness is pretty good for general botting, only issue I have is that it always summons Voidwalker instead of Felhunter.
Junglebook, one of the best CC's ever for Feral tanking/dps. Hazzdruid great restodruid-CC with Boomkin-support.
Handnavi has removed all of his work from the forums completely. He said Blizzard contacted him directly and said some things to him, which frightened him enough to close his SVN and remove all his work until further notice. I haven't tried the modified PoD CC since my warlock is already 85, but honestly it just doesn't pull the dps numbers I was hoping it would pull for ilevel 370 gear. At best, with ANY CC, it only gets 10-11k dps. I've tried all specs (demo, destro, aff). None of them are worth the effort and energy to bot on right now. Warlock CCs really need some work. Sadly, right now, warlocks are one of the hardest classes to make a CC for due to DoT management and other factors. You're right, but the problem is that ShamWoW has been worked on for so long that it's practically impossible to make something like this for every class. Bobby has devoted so much time, energy, and effort into his CC. He's also extremely well versed in "customer service" because he takes in everything that's suggested, mulls over all suggestions and ideas, and even tries his best to assist with every problem that's posted to his thread. There are very, very, very few devs willing to do what Bobby does, and that's what causes the lack of quality CCs like his. Wulf would be second in line behind Bobby, with CLU. He's dumping a lot of time, energy, and effort into his All-In-One right now, which is working really well while I'm testing it. And, he tries to assist everyone that posts to his thread as well. Edit: I got sidetracked, lol. I voted for Warlock and Mage. Why? Because of the lack of CCs that work, peroid. We have CCs that work on a barebones basis, but as for actually shining? No, they need work. Not to mention, warlocks are the hardest class to make a decent CC for. CLU is the closest there is, and even then the dps numbers aren't that great. It's just a hard class to bot in general. Mages just suck. Mages are NOT a good class to bot and level, unless you're in the upper levels. By upper levels I mean 80+. That's just my opinion, mind you all. I just feel that they lack survivability, tankability for soloing, and resourcefulness. I have tried to bot, literally, 15 mages and they have never made it beyond level 40. I have always deleted them because they just suck, suck, SUCK. I have one mage that I SoR'd to level 80, and it's decent enough for me to keep. However, botting a mage from 1 to 85 is complete balls. Worst. Class. Ever.
My 2nd botted mage is almost 85 ... just coming back from being afk .... and it's like can i haz portal to stormwind ? lol
For leveling and questing you need survivability. Boomkin isn't very survivable, nor is Cat. None of the CCs support forcing Bear mode and doing it any kind of decent. Not Junglebook, not Hazzdruid, not Singular, not FPSWare Druid. None of them come even close to decently running a questing profile.
I haven't botted anything but Hunters, Druids, Death Knights, and Paladins, but so far Druid is harder than the other two mentioned. I'd say anything that's a caster only or wears cloth would be the most difficult to bot with. Hunters are somewhat in that area because I never had more issues with a character getting stuck trying to attack then cancel, it might be the CC you use, but was using Singular at the time and specd BM. [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif] [/FONT] [FONT=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma, Calibri, Geneva, sans-serif]I forced Bear Form in JungleBook for most of my questing, it did get stuck sometimes and I would have to use Singular, but worked none the less. It doesn't seem like Bear Form is actually needed until BC, LK, etc. I can't argue how well it performs compared to a optimized tank leveling CC.[/FONT]
I just finished botting a rogue from 1-82 almost completely afk, just stock up on food and you'll be completely fine, my priest I botted 1-81 with no BoA's almost completely afk, and my paladin is just easy mode, i was watching it the other day and it accidently pulled 6 level appropriate bosses and was able to kill them without dying. I will have to go with : Warlock or warrior(I had a lot of trouble botting my warrior without BoA's)
My vote go to Warlock. I tried all the CC and none of them Soul Havest and Health Funnel correctly. I gave up my warlock at level 70 somewhere in Northend. I hope simeone make a good warlock CC in the future.
