      and here i am debating between monk and Shammy. Loved shammy for years, monk is growing on me and after seeing Preach's take on them it clicked for me when i was on the ptr. And I like all 3 specs of each and can comfortably play all 3 specs of each.
      what do

    • @saberwolfcdw
      @saberwolfcdw 8 років тому +1

      Right there with you. I have been really loving Frost DKs for years but before that I was a hardcore Enhancement Shaman guy. So I am kind of stuck as well. LOL

      @usa1327 8 років тому

      thank you, saved me 20 minutes. doesnt help me decide what to play at all. but at least i get to see the list

    • @Nihilism2011
      @Nihilism2011 8 років тому

      I have always loved enhancement shammy and will always play one. My frost DK is probably on par with my shammy for fun in WoD so I am happy that both are looking good. I tend to play prot warrior and prot pally as I just never seem to click with fury (or arms) or with ret and find them a bit laborious. I am also going to persevere with my feral druid even though it was a little disappointing in WoD.
      I'll still wait until after the first round of major patches before deciding whether to buy Legion though. The content (or lack thereof) for casual players has me concerned.

    • @DarkClown06
      @DarkClown06 8 років тому +1

      I'm having the same problem. I have played Shaman since I started the game back in WoTLK, I have enjoyed monk a lot in Pandaria and WoD, Dk's have never been my cup of tea, but they look so damn fun now. I'm really torn.

      @Zakon673 8 років тому +8

      Please do remember that this is opinion. For example, I quite enjoyed most of the classes in his bottom list, but I didn't care for the stuff at the top of his list. Especially his no.1 pick, I just did not like it at all. On the other hand, I'll probably be maining Survival Hunter.

    • @julianor1671

    • @NamesAreForNerds
      @NamesAreForNerds 8 років тому

      its really not all bad. the talents may be boring compared to other classes, but to be fair, it was in wod too. the core playstyle hasnt changed that much, if you enjoyed ret in wod changes are you still do. besides its all opinion anyway :p

    • @maggimaster
      @maggimaster 8 років тому +1

      NamesAreForNerds crusade+justicar+wake combo just makes my cock tingle

    • @Weerknuffelbeer
      @Weerknuffelbeer 8 років тому

      I think the main problem with Ret is that the talents just don't bring a lot of gameplay. The only thing that really shakes things up and requires consideration as to when to use it is Crusade.

    • @maggimaster
      @maggimaster 8 років тому

      Weerknuffelbeer true but with some of the new changes you can now figure out "hmmm should i use zeal or greater judgement for aoe" plus you can choose either justicars vengeance a heavy hitting ability that also serves as a heal along with a great way to buff crusade stacks or a new mitigation or an aoe heal (personally i build to 5 hp then crusade in justicars then ashes into justicar for a ton of stacks quickly add that to the crusader strike talent you get really fast hits making you think "hmmm is zeal now better than judgement or would that still be better because i have 5 targets?"
      you can also pull a boss then have divine intervention proc into holy wrath
      or you can go full crit build and use the blade of wrath talent

    I hate that since Wrath they've made Paladins worse and worse to play. Unfortunately I love my paladin and will never be able to not main him.

    • @NickMarshman
      @NickMarshman 8 років тому +22

      I love WoD and MoP ret paladin. While I did enjoy Wrath ret I don't think I'd count either of these variants as "worse to play."
      Legion on the other hand I dislike ret immensely.

    • @tpchris2573
      @tpchris2573 8 років тому +14

      Nick Marshman Cata was fucking pitiful, MoP got a little better, then WoD was realistically decent, now we are back to wtf this shit is.

    • @NickMarshman
      @NickMarshman 8 років тому +6

      ThePatriotChris Oh cata was horrible which is why I didn't include it. The sheer downtime was atrocious. There isn't that much downtime in legion but it still feels horrible and I can easily see why it was the worst melee spec on preach's list.

    • @mrtrebor96
      @mrtrebor96 8 років тому +4

      +Nick Marshman I completely agree with you there. I've really enjoyed Paladin, but in Legion they just look awful.

    • @혜성지기
      @혜성지기 8 років тому +3

      Honestly play whatever you like. I'll be retiring my main mythic ret paladin in legion as I really don't like the changes. Old rets will retire and new rets will take their place.

    • @혜성지기
      @혜성지기 8 років тому +3

      Tyler Willson I don't really care if they top damage. If they do then that's great as we've never seen ret paladin up there with other top dps classes like mage and locks. I'd rather a fluid, fun spec rather than boring talents and skills that just don't feel as fun but top dps.
      Honestly, if i wanted to play arms warrior, i would've rolled an arms warrior.

  • @MeltingBuddhaCandle
    @MeltingBuddhaCandle 8 років тому +4

    I have had a hard time figuring out what I want to play in Legion, as I haven't really been hardcore into WoW since my heyday of TBC/Wrath/Cata and only casually during MoP/WoD with very long breaks during these two. Not to mention the feeling of repetition and staleness of ever increasing class homogenization over the past few years that has put me off.
    It's good to know now that my old DK raiding main during Wrath/Cata is going to be dusted off and put back into the fray thanks to your video. The new spells and gameplay look fucktastic!

  • @WeirdViking
    @WeirdViking 8 років тому +13

    Wholeheartedly agree with the Death Knight. its stupid how FUN it is. Not even good, just FUUUUUUUN! Inside a single spec like unholy, there's 2 main ways of playing it and then 3-5 tweaks that still change it, all of which work and are great. From affliction warrior in pvp to bursty setup in pve, there's just so much depth.
    And as said, if unholy gets outperformed by frost on mythic raiding (which i kinda suspect it will) its fine, cause frost is SO FUN too, in a different really meaty satisfying way. Frost atm is the definition of BIG DICK DPS, you go just mad seeing the carnage you leave behind.

    • @selimcelik3494
      @selimcelik3494 8 років тому

      For frost to be better than unholy it would have to come down to breath of sindragosa or the artifact ability being stupidly powerful. Removing Killing Machine for Frost strike means an over reliance on physical damage which is pretty bad compared to the old one which was also overshadowed by Unholy. It looks to be a trash killer for now with remorseless winter and classic howling blast spam.

    • @selimcelik3494
      @selimcelik3494 8 років тому

      +Glen Tipton I didn't even consider PvP. Of course I would probably still prefer Frost for PvP but late game scaling with Mastery changes how PvE works in terms of Physical damage so Frost is at a disadvantage unless the CDs are ridiculous.

    • @eclypse3d
      @eclypse3d 8 років тому

      Don't forget Survival =) I remember in Vanilla where a properly geared and speccd Survival hunter could wreck you with Mongoose bite. Still was ranged but that was the whole point of hunters and why they had a range penalty to using the bow/gun, that was having a melee alternative for brief close quarters combat, then get out and range again. Now since they made them so mobile, removed range requirements, it seems odd to make a pure melee hunter without any hunter aspects, like say reliance on traps and melee, a specialty in hunting knives/daggers etc.

    • @greenbird3179
      @greenbird3179 8 років тому

      +Tyler Willson I know they changed Jolly Roger and I think they nerfed True Bearing, fixing a problem for a lot of people playing the spec.

  • @josh_on_gosh
    @josh_on_gosh 8 років тому +1

    I'm relatively new to WoW and I thought Death Knights were really cool looking so it was nice to hear that it was very strong. However, I looked up a video guide for it and the resources and whatnot looked really complicated. Is it actually difficult or is it easy to learn? Thanks for any help.

  • @inferno876
    @inferno876 8 років тому +3

    • @eclypse3d
      @eclypse3d 8 років тому +1

      He made the statements that many classes have changed during Alpha and Beta updates which moved some classes up and down the list based on things being reworked so much it has changed his liking one or another, either they broke something that was good and viable or they added or changed a class and made it better. As we all know Blizzard fixes and breaks classes all the time, its not called the nerf hammer for nothing.

  • @JohnnyFiction
    @JohnnyFiction 8 років тому +14

    I agree with a good portion of your opinions, but you are WAY off on the Outlaw Rogue. Since you mainly raid and don't PVP, I can maybe understand where you're coming from, but you clearly did not get enough time or practice in with the Outlaw to appreciate it.
    Some of the coolest looking new attacks, the combos, the speed, the Dreadblade artifact weapons, the theme and the utility, all combine to be by far the most fun and interesting spec in the game. People that complain about damage forget that we're still in beta and numbers can easily change. In battlegrounds and arenas though, it's a thrilling beast of a spec, and you really need to give it a second glance.

      Ya know BM Hunter is my main in live and I didn't see much in the new Surv that I liked. Testing it, the functionality worked well enough, but the rotation was bland and the mongoose bite mechanic was.. alright? I haven't tested it in pvp yet, but you're saying all of that becomes way more fun out there?

    • @asho78
      @asho78 8 років тому

      Outlaw may be fun in PVP but it sucks if you're a serious arena player. Roll the bones is too RNG it can make or ruin the arena for you. If you pick up slice and dice instead, you have no potential burst. The only decent rogue spec I have found in arena is assassination. But that may just be me. There's no doubt rogue is going to be strong in PVP. As for this videos his issues with the rogue seem to be he doesn't get it or it doesn't fit. That has no bearings on if the rogue is actually good in pve.

    • @JohnnyFiction
      @JohnnyFiction 8 років тому +1

      From all the testing I've done in pvp beta and all the number crunching I've seen, Sub is going to dominate arena for the rogue class. However, in Battlegrounds, the teamwork traits and talents that Outlaw boasts have made them top or near top damage in Many instances.

  • @TjPhysicist
    @TjPhysicist 8 років тому

    Does this video (like many class guides out there) talk mainly from a "end game, progression raiding" POV or are you also considering gameplay related to other types of gameplay like soloing, levelling, worldquests, and so on?

  • @Omfgseriouslyyyyyyyy
    @Omfgseriouslyyyyyyyy 8 років тому +3

    People fail to realize this is his opinion, what he finds fun you might not, idealizing and basing an entire "well since preach hates x class, i'm not going to play it". I'm rerolling back to rogue just for legion, just because I LOVE the idea of having a melee class you have to micromanage dots with for maximum DPS. It's on his shit list, but at the moment, mut rogues are one of, if not the highest damage dealing classes in the game, and they might not even be fully optimized when doing so.
    I get you're on vacation preach, and I have literally nothing against ya, just wanted to let these guys know "what's bad for me" doesn't mean they'll hate it too. >.>

  • @Gosumoni
    @Gosumoni 8 років тому

    Hey Preach, you are one of the few people I know who have actually played pretty much every spec in the legion alpha/beta, so I got a question regarding about them: which specs woud you say are the easiest ones to play in raids/5mans in terms of "rotation" and things like that? Got quite a few rusty returning players joining us on Legion, mainly for our nm & hc runs and as I have only looked into the specs I plan to play I got no idea which specs to recommend for them.
    Historically Melee is the role with least mechanics to worry about, but some of the specs (such as WW) tend to be really punishing if you aren't able to play the spec properly. In MoP the go "newbie" spec was frost DK, in WoD many would argue Ret pally to be the one. Both are your usual durable tanky melee spesc with strong defensive skills and/or self heals, which have made them great in inexperienced hands in the past, but has some other spec passed them in Legion, particularly in terms of easy rotation? Bonus points if the spec also has solid aoe capabilities.

    Furious Slash is the worst ability I've ever seen. I NEVER use it. I would much rather use Whirlwind. Furious Slash does less damage than Whirlwind, and even if you use it like 3 times (which is 3 wasted attacks basically), it still might not cause your Bloodthirst to crit. Of course Blizzard decided that for pvp, to make warriors use furious slash, they made it so we have basically no crit chance at all. This ruins the fury warrior entirely as a pvp spec. Luckily there is a pvp talent which can be used for fury. Though they need to enrage once for it to work at all.
    Really, if they want it to be used, they just need to make it do more damage than whirlwind, and perhaps they should make it increase the crit chance of all attacks

    • @filip1301
      @filip1301 8 років тому +2

      Fury was deleted as a PVP option the moment they added the 30% (20% if talented) additional damage while enraged. Meanwhile arms is getting access to much more flexible and controllable sources of both pressure and burst with talents like Focused Raged and MortalCombo while still having defensive stance.

      All you have to do is BT>RB>FS>BT>RB>FS and throw in Rampage when you have enough rage or it procs. If you have a single target. The increased chance of crit is much more of a payoff long term than a whirlwind on less than 3 enemies.

      Something he hated with the rogue was that it was a nightmare beeing pure dps, so imo it will be down to what he thinks of the rest of them, as in mistweaver and brew(we know he loved mistweaver) resto shaman(don't think he has made a vid on it yet, we know he loves ele) and blood, which he mentioned was one of the better ones, but still things like shadow priest etc

    • @CrazyIvan64
      @CrazyIvan64 8 років тому

      In an earlier video he was saying he might go for Monk after being so impressed with Windwalker since he also likes the Mistweaver spec for healing and somewhat likes Brewmaster as well if he felt like he needed to play something non-dps. Could still be anything though at this point... except Paladin...

    Sorry Preach but the WoD Ret Paladin is quite literally complete garbage and the changes now are much better.
    Also people abandoning specs because of prepatch balance and early beta balance is hilarious. Half of these "fun" specs are going to be bashed with hammers once Blizz starts getting live raid data

A lot of classes work the same he likes ww monk but it's the same as ret pally. I just don't get his analysis. This video is super negative and it really doesn't help when it's meant to be a comparison between the classes not between what's bad about all the classes.

    Hey preach I literally watch all your videos ive watched every video the past year and a half. I was wondering if you are going to do / have time to do a ranged final look as there been a lot of number changes in the past 3 weeks. I been looking at affliction warlock as a main, mainly cause it seems like 90% of legion content is in the open world and it will be nice to have healing a affli lock has for no down time. seems like picking any class with no sustain will be hell to do the legion content if you have no healer around. so from playing them i'm considering affli lock first and unholy dk 2nd as a main. you have an opinion on this? or does open world sustain really matter?

    Just a question for anyone who has played the beta, does the artifact weapon make the classes play a little faster, especially on the melee side cause with patch 7 the classes specifically melee seem to play just a tad slower so will the artifact fill in for that slight gap?

    • @MrAdamAnty
      @MrAdamAnty 8 років тому

      In general yes, and although I haven't played all melee specs enough to know if this is true for all of them, for many classes (such as Arms Warrior) the artifact ability helps fill in some of the gaps and speed up the rotation.

    Question for those in the Beta: how much of your class do you actually use in Legion? How much variety is there in what you do based on what's going on in the fight?
    In other words, how much is just doing your rotation (be it single target or AoE) and how much do you actually use your utility abilities, like stuns, interrupts, CC, etc? Do you get a lot of opportunities to make the most of your class, or does it mostly boil down to how well you can DPS?

    Assassination atm is so fluid an smooth to play in legion it dose lack in aoe dps but it is extremely strong in Single Target an Cleave/Council Fights, Aldo did you have rank 34 artifact to complete the spec? or was it just based on first golden ?
