Classes in WoW are really quite deep compared to games like WAR for example (but they did have different criteria in WAR, they kept the classes fairly simple in WAR so people could focus on the PvP side).

I do find the WoW classes particularly fun to play, just in their own right.

One of my biggest beefs with Naxxramas is that the fights are all really boring from a tank point of view. Nothing to get excited about. We’ll start a preliminary expedition force into Ulduar next week, to see how badly burnt we will be, but it’s quite possible I won’t tank, and will heal instead.

Actually the class design is one of the more prominent points of turning me away from WoW. Imo class design is terrible, but that’s just my taste ;)
