Hi guys,I'm a new player on Wow Official and for now i made a hunter(lv 60+) but problem is that i leveled this char in 5-6 hours of gameplay and i didnt took the professions...so im thinking to do another class,that is easier to use maybe.i was thinking about monk,paladin,priest,dk or warrior.Why only these?Because each one hase at least 2 roles (dps-tank ,dps-tank-healer,dps-healer).1th of all,i never use a healer so i dont know if i would like it,but i will love to try.2nd im a pvp player,i love to pvp and i hate to lose xD,3rd in dungeons if im a dps i like to do a lot of dmg.I dont know if those few things that i said maybe will help you to give me the answer because at the end everyone has his style...but you could give me an advice.I sayd dk because is a dps-tank(tank until reach lv 80 xD,after that dps) and i start from lv 55.Monk i dont know if they are good and paladins&warriors dont have so much skills to use,so for a new player is preaty sweet to not have 90 skills xD anyway,im waiting for your opinion about that.tnx

I don't think that there IS an easier to use class than the hunter, honestly. You have to know what you're doing to play it well, and manage your long cooldowns well to maximize DPS, but in terms of survivability during basic leveling, and the ability to get by without knowing all the ins and outs of the class, I can't imagine that any of the classes you are asking about would be less challenging.
If you do roll a DK, you will still have to go back and level your professions from one (maybe not all the secondary skills, though), so it's not much different than going back on your existing character and leveling them from one. I will say that, having played a number of classes,managing the resources of a DK is more complicated than it is for almost any other class, and you will quite easily find yourself without any runes of the types you need if you don't understand what rotation/move priority to use.
From a DPS perspective (I haven't tanked), I would say that of the classes you listed an interest in trying, Paladin would be another easy one. The resources are pretty easy to balance, the rotation is simple, and you have a lot of self healing even as DPS to make it easier to level.
If you are just looking for a class that interests you, then any class is able to perform well if you take the time to look up what you need to do. If you are looking for a class that is easy to use, the ret pally or hunter would be my suggestions. If you are looking for an easier class to use than a hunter, then I don't think that I can give you any advice because there aren't any, really. Not that it's easy to do great DPS as a hunter- you still have to know what you're doing- but it's much easier to just kind of wing it and get through leveling on hunters than on anything else.
Though I find your assertion that you got to level 60 in 5-6 hours to be kind of hard to believe.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##ElhonnaDS##DELIM##

Monks definitely do not have an experience bonus of 50%. The way in which you get exp bonuses are:
Heirlooms
Rested XP
Guild Perks
Using the Recruit a Friend (and maybe Scroll of Resurrection?) programs
Those are available equally to all classes.
I can totally understand how 18 hours can feel like 6 hours, though- lol!
My personal suggestion, though, is if you are a new player you should not worry about speeding up the leveling process. It takes time to get familiar with the game mechanics, and to get good at a specific class. If you are racing to max level, then that might be why you are having issues with one class and want to look for something easier. Once you pick your class, take your time, level at normal speed, look up what abilities to use and when, and get a firm grasp on it so that when you do hit max level, you're fully prepared for instances and raiding.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##ElhonnaDS##DELIM##

now i close the circle a bit XD i wanna chose from a monk and paladin
still i think that the monk has this 50 exp because i read about it on official forum of wow
''At 20 you get a spell called "Zen Pilgrimage" and a quest to use it.
That spell places you right in front of the quest giver to get xp buff.

I think shoke is confused about
Inner Peace
. Thinking its a monk class ability when this is a racial that all Pandaren have, so any race a Pandaren can be will have this ability.
As for the professions. I think you should just use your hunter and not worry about it, unless you pick skinning (but even then it's easy to go back and farm for hides). Since it is already level 60 you can go back and fly to get your mats if you get a gathering prof like mining, herb or skinning. And you won't have to worry about getting interrupted by a mob if you are a lot higher in level.
I did this for all my alts. Once they hit 60 and I got bored of leveling I went and farmed mats. I did this until I hit 85, alternating back and forth.

There is a daily quest for monks that allow them to get
this buff
for one hour a day, but it's not on all the time. If you planned on only leveling 1 hour a day, then I suppose that this technically would allow you to level with +50% XP all the time.(##RESPBREAK##)8##DELIM##ElhonnaDS##DELIM##

If your pet is taunting turn growl off. Your pet should (generally) not be taking damage in a PvE group situation.
I think perhaps you meant to post this in a different thread?

in bg the monk isn't so good...with my hunter im realy strong in bg(at least now) but still i wanna make another char and now i will explain you way.i was recluted by a friend,and i can play the hunter only when we are playing together(to get the bonus exp).problem is that i can play the evening too but he didnt,so i need to wait until 8 pm to can play with him.since i cant use my hunter,i wanna make another and since the monk is weak in bg,im thinking to pick paladin or a frost dk because he does a lot of dmg,but im not sure if is good for bg...
