Kind of a subjective topic, I know, but not sure where else to put it. I am getting a little bored with my Pally and thinking of trying something new. I've only ever done plate, and almost always tank except for my DK who is pure DPS. I'm considering doing a complete 180 and trying a ranged DPS (I won't try to heal, it's just not my style), or revisiting the Warrior as a tank although I'm afraid it will get boring for me again since it's basically the same thing as my Pally now with slightly different abilities/priority.
If I decide to go the ranged DPS route, what would be the easier ranged DPS class, seeing as I have never done anything except tank/melee so I'm basically starting from square one as a ranged? I'm not fond of Hunters or Shamans, I will admit, but I'm not adverse to trying one out if it would be a fun experience.
Any suggestions or advice on making the transition from hard-hitting plate to squishy?
Thanks.

Look over any class youre interested in, look through their spells and look through their talents. When youre done with that and if you didnt narrow it down to 1 class then either flip a coin, roll a die or play each toon till about lvl30 and go from there.

Hahaha okay, thanks.
Mainly my issue with the Pally now is that I'm bored as it's been my only real character for a long time, and Paladins are a dime a dozen so I don't feel very useful, if that makes any sense. There are too many of us.

Well to easiest movement from Plate to Range would be to Roll a Hunter. They only have the 8% Hit to worry about and don't have to worry about Exp.
Driuds would be a good choice also as if you get tired of playing Ranged you can always swap to another spec. There the true Hybrids.
Warlock's/Mage's Are good for both Pve/Pvp I don't really have much Exp playing the classes other then at lower levels but can be fun with screwing over alot of different classes. Remember Frost Mage and Melee never end well.
Shadow Preist there a fun class to play. They start of slow from what I remember but get better as you level them and get more spells. There weak on Aoe till the 70's when they get there Aoe Spell. But are very powerful when it comes to Single Target Dps.
It really boils down to want class do you want to play. There is really no right or wrong way to go. Just play want you enjoy.

Try a druid out dude.
I've been in the same boat as you before, except with melee dps. I had tried every single class except the druid before because I just didn't think it would be fair for a class to have 4 potential roles and still be good in PvE, PvP, etc.
Oh, how I was wrong.
Not going to go into detail here (mostly because I'm really tired), but man, if you're looking for a class that will feel refreshing and unique then definitely try out a druid.
ps, now that I think about it... you probably already have a druid. So what are you waiting for!

Only possible answer: female goblin warlock.

I'm actually considering either a Mage or a Warlock; both sound pretty fun and something totally different. Probably Troll, but Goblin as I understand is a bit better for pure min-maxing (too many of them IMO). Warlock sounds like it has a ton of stuff to keep track of, though (moar dots, etc.).

Trust me, when all you have to do in a group is throw fireballs at someone's face from thirty yards away, you can never lose.
Fire Mages: We kill things with fire.
Bah! Who needs a Mage when you can have an Elemental Shaman?
Fireball is okay... for complete newbies. Real men throw huge
balls of lava
at the enemy's face.
Repeatedly

At great speed

Shaman - when you need to kill things with fire
and
lightning.

Druids: They can fulfill every role in the game. If you get bored with one, you switch to another.
Boomkins truly are super fun to play. I like questing with mine in Boom, though my main spec is Resto. The abilities are fun, and the rotations differ depending on what procs for you. It keeps it fresh, in my humble opinion.
Yay! My first WowHead post! Hai everyone!

i agree with atomic about druids because you can choose from ranged or melee if you dont like ranged if you want something easy go mage...mages are fun in pvp and in pve i think but thats just me iv tryed warlock but its only lvl 19 so im not sure about it but fear and a macro that makes you yell BOO is pretty funny
