Hi all!
Legion is coming and I saw a post in general on what classes/specs people will be playing in Legion. This is an interesting question for a number of reasons which I'll get to. Our guildies probably fall into four categories in no particular order.
1. Those who are going play a class and spec they've played this expansion
2. Those who want a change and would like to move into and stay in a different role (possibly class)
3. Those who would prefer to play a specific role (tank/heals/DPS) but will pretty much play whatever within the realm of the class they have chosen
4. Those that don't care and will play whatever the guild needs to down bosses
With every expansion there's an opportunity to re-roll. War Machine has taken the position that you can play whatever you want, so long as you are having fun. This is not about to change. However, those of us in category 4 (and to a lesser extent 3) are looking at Legion now in order to get a sense of what is needed. We only have a few weeks to go and switching to a new main for Legion will require some effort, especially if it's something they don't have. Some of the struggles we have early in an expansion is too much of one thing and not enough of the other. To that end I'm quite keen for us to get a consolidated look at where we are at with our Legion choices.
Could I ask for those of you looking to raid in Legion to provide a more complete idea of what you are thinking? PTR testing is available if you are unsure how a class plays or there's a few of us reading, watching, and testing a bunch of classes in case you have any general questions.
Useful information to know would be the following:
What are you looking at playing in Legion (class): etc.. Druid, DK, Rogue, don't care...
What role are you wanting to primarily play: Tank/Healer/Melee DPS/Range DPS/Don't Care
Are you happy to switch roles if required?: Yes/No/Prefer not to but will on occasion
If you were to switch roles what would be your second choice: Tank/Healer/Melee DPS/Range DPS/Don't Care
What level of raiding would you like to end up at: Normal/Heroic/Mythic
Will you be leveling an alt for raiding: Yes/No/If needed/[CLASS/SPEC]
Have you ever wanted to raid lead: Yes/No/Hell No/Sometimes (when the calls go bad)/Only when Boom does it

I'm only here because Choco posted on the facebook page..
But I am pretty sure you know what I'm about to say.....
What are you looking at playing in Legion (class): Druid.
What role are you wanting to primarily play: Feral. Deeps.
Are you happy to switch roles if required?: Prefer not to but will on occasion - I make a semi okay tank at times. Will be gearing all 4 specs as usual though.
If you were to switch roles what would be your second choice: Tank - mayhaps boomy.
What level of raiding would you like to end up at: Mythic.
Will you be leveling an alt for raiding: Yes - Likely Warrior first though this hasn't been decided. My current plan is to have two toons at 110 within the first week.
Have you ever wanted to raid lead: Have I wanted to? No. Can I? Yes though I prefer not to. Can be a backup when people are away though I find I don't have the time to research fights so would need to be on fights I know (Which wont be TOO hard early on!)
Notes: See? Told you its what you expected.
BONUS ROUND:
Heres a post for Kap as well.
What are you looking at playing in Legion (class): Shammy
What role are you wanting to primarily play: Healer

What level of raiding would you like to end up at: Don't care
Will you be leveling an alt for raiding: Yes - Likely DK - I think he said Blood.
Have you ever wanted to raid lead: Hell No. (This one was followed by some manic laughter)
Notes: Hope this helps!

Just started sorting out my toons with the pre-patch changes. One thing I didn't know was the dropping of Dual Talents. We can now select any talent. We can also have transmogged gear sets specific to a talent.
This changes things. I will level up in Shadow, and try out both Holy and Disc healing specs on the way.

Only caveat to that is that the artifact weapon is tailored to your spec. Not sure about purely dps class stats but classes with dps/heal/tank classes will probably need entirely different artifact weapons to be effective. The catch-up mechanics look quite effective to make leveling up your second weapon easier though. |

You can play around with the alternative specs all you like though, there is only one spec I know of that won't give you a special ability as your first unlocked artifact talent (sorry Frost DK). gthe unlocked ability is normally the only one that you will get through the whole artfifact weapon (mostly upgrades to existing abilities and additional passive interactions). While fully unlocked artifact weapons may alter your rotation and play style slightly you'll still get the feel of the spec without it.
This, however, has nothing to do with the performance of that spec. Apparently though there is a vast difference between a spec at 110 with the basic artifact weapon and a 110 with a fully upgraded one so it'll pay to be focused regardless. When leveling you'll get these little trinkets which provide artifact power. If you use them they'll apply to the arftifact you have equiped however they do no need to be used right away and are not required for leveling. That means you can shove the lot in your bank and wait till 110 to see how the specs feel from a playstyle perspective before deciding where to spend your artifact power. The reason I say that is leveling up a second weapon will be prohibitive intially . Through your initial leveling, if you were to spend point immedaitely, you'll probably unlock about 1/6 of your artifact weapon and won't get an additional GOLD DRAGON until later.
Early estimates suggest it will take 2-3 months to unlock a whole weapon, though as Euphy has pointed out there are catch-up mechanics though your order hall. These mechanics won't be available immedaitely so rather than trying to upgrade multiple weapons at once it may be better to focus on a single weapon until it becomes economical to switch. I'm sure you are all aware of how it works already but the artifact points needed for each new 'talent' (or level of the existing talent) get exponetially larger the more you've already spent. There will be a point at which spending 3,000 in your main weapon for a single 'level' is far less worth it than 10 x 300 in your alt weapon.
Just my thoughts on the subject

Hi all, if you were 50 50 about you main/alt and we're looking for a way to make the call... we're light on range dps and heavy on melee. Obviously, play what you want, just a consideration if you were unsure.

Cool i am so undecided.
We OK for Tanks and heals?
My order was level farming toons 1st, so i was looking like this;
Fury War
Havoc DH
Blood DK
WW Monk
Shadow Priest
Tree somewhere while this was going on.
Fire Mage
Outlaw Rogue
Enh Shaman
Affliction Lock
MM Hunter
Pally Tank
Otherwise i may go Shadow. Been a long time and will need an invite for him. But i usually resort to Tree at some point, and was hoping to run with Kio as ferals at some point.
