So, as the title says I want to start a run on WoW.

I have always had mild interest on the game, but didn't have money to pay for its subscription when I had the time to play it.

Now I still don't have a lot of time, but my interest has grown. I would like to play with my girlfriend and enjoy the journey of exploring new places. What do you recommend to fulfill these expectations? I have some interest to check classic without expansion WoW, but I have heard that is easy to get lost.

I kind of like the Wizard archtype, if I can have one of those Gandalf like hat I will be happy. Any recommendations?

Poster above is definitely correct... but, don't get too attached until you've had a chance to sample the play style.

The obvious choice is mage, but I like wizards too and I hate the mage play-style.

Why did you not like the playstyle? Just curious

The thing I hated most back in the day was that you have to be able to keep moving in WoW, but I don't feel like any other class is punished quite as much for that movement. You can lose a lot of DPS often purely from bad luck and RNG and while that is true for everybody... feels like mages have it worst. It feels bad.

I will say I haven't played in years, so I could be out of date. The classes I enjoyed playing the most were definitely not the ones I expected going in though.
