I currently main as a Hunter but I'm looking for an alt to boost up. Are Pallys a lot of fun end game? And what professions should I use as a Pally?
Depends what you are looking for. Paladins are fun though.
You want to play a melee character? Are you looking for high mobility? Charge/leap/roll/teleport? Play a Monk or Warrior. If you way good self heals out of those two, Monk.
If you like powerful defensive abilities and self healing as a priority, Paladin is good. Or Death Knight.
Druid if you like shapeshifting and doing a lot of different things.
And of course Rogue if you want to be sneaky and kill from the shadows.
Keep in mind that all tank classes and dps classes are pretty well balanced nowadays so don't worry about picking the 'best' one.
For professions do you like gathering? Mining/herbing. If so, go for Blacksmithing/Mining fo a Pally, or Engineering/Mining. Or Leatherworking/skinning for the leather classes.
Any class that can tank will be pretty good at soloing, but Warriors have the weakest self heals out of the tanks. Prot Warriors can have some self heals if they stack the multistrike stat.
Wow, that's awesome. Never bothered with Dragon Soul previously, but I may start now.
How geared is your monk? May try it today on my hunter (572).
587
But I am sure you could do it on 10 if not 25.
Gotta get that Blazing Drake for the achieve!
edit:
Do remember though you have to do Spine of Deathwing and Madness on the same size I think. I tried spine on 10 last week and nothing was there on 25 madness, back to 10 and it showed up.
