SPOILERS! Extra Mansplaining Ahead! Yo, Upon watching the final product I noticed I didn't go into the criteria as much as I should have. In the Intro I said that I compared rotation/priority list, defensive cooldowns, mobility and ofcourse squishyness, allow me to elaborate on each class. Fury Warrior - They have the easy rotation, mobility and survivability, but they loose a few "gg ez" points due to their Stance Dancing and weapon swapping that is required to pull off some of the hardest technical executions, the utility is mostly only sunder armor and sometimes demoralizing shout, not a whole lot on 11/12 fights. Destruction Warlock - The class on this list where I have the biggest lack of experience. But from playing it one time in ICC, it is pretty boring to me, the rotation is fine but nothing too interesting the defensives are alright but nothing game breaking their mobility is rather lacking but thats an issue all warlocks have. Its sad that the pet is such a useless piece of skin, on Affli you get a dispel magic and silence combo, on Demo you get that charge. overall Destro seemed a little bit boring and easy, Ele Shaman - Aaahhh, what a wonderful class. their rotation is snoozefest and their defensives boil down to heal yourself skrub, mobility is non existent and their mana and believe it or not threat is an issue... nothing good about this except the utility. Arcane Mage - Maybe I treated you a little harshly... on paper its pretty easy to play arcane mage, pop cds and press 1 and 2 HOWEEEVER the skill cap on arcane mage comes from managing your mana, cooldowns and threat. In essence arcane mage is super easy but don't be fooled by the difference in "I can play it" and "I am a master of the arcane arts", If TTW wasn't so good im sure Arcane would be more explored and there is potential for Arcane to be good on shorter fights where range isn't an issue. Assasin Rogue - I've never played it and thats a big disclaimer but with that being said I don't see where the difficulty would be it is incredibly simple but maybe time will tell, maybe i'll eat my words once we are in ICC with our yikes.com champion Gottra. Like always feel free to debate my many mistakes but pls also some of the non mistakes kty
As a warlock main, I gotta completely agree with you on destro's part. Destro has a really good mobility compared to other warlock specs, and really little penalty for moving (moving for more than a sec may change your entire rotation as, say, affli warlock), but it's really boring, you don't have any interesting rotation flip like Molten Core and Soul Fire (on demos) or Drain Soul (on affli) and your imp completely sucks besides the 100% crit chance proc. What always has bothered me is how people choose destro as their main spec, but a lot of them don't ever try demo or affli. Even worse, PvE destro warlocks have only two utilities, which are imp's Blood Pact (which is crappier than warrior's HP shout) and Shadowfury, which is probably the best stun in the game (instant ranged AoE stun), but they tend to overlook the latter, which has a really good utility in a good number of bosses, just because they pick, say, an extra 2% damage on Imp (which, again, really sucks).
assassination is hard AF to play properly compared to other classes on the list, if you never played one class and say that it is the easiest, cause it has the least amount of buttons, then either get to talk with some actually good assa rogues or don't spread the bullshit assassination does have only few buttons but their timing is insanly important, with A mage you just press button when you have ability ready, with assa you have to track stuffs like -envenom buff clipping -energy pool management (not just how much energy you have, but if heroism/bl/HP buff will overlap with next overkill) -how to not loose ton of dps by target switching and honestly, it is soo rare, that you meet assa rogue who actually knows what he is doing (like stacking AP in icc is a joke)
@@petrboril4589 I've start gearing and playing Assasination and i've come to the conclusion that yeah, it is defo harder then ele/destro but it isn't THAT hard either. Energy management is fun, I'm still not sure when AoE is worth it but im gettin' gudder. I'll probably make a follow up on this list at some point.
@@eternalbgl2695 Yeah but that's not fair, person value is decided by his rights as well as "wrongs" Like you're perfect person who never made mistake, damn hypocrite. If you not wish to be judged by your mistakes do not judge others for his.
what a lot people get wrong when they are inexperienced with Shaman is that the bloodlust spells is from OG warcraft.. and the makeshift "heroism" version was just a plug for alliance to be able to play the class.
Is it true that for retripaladins Crusader Strike resets Divine storm? And if true, should i prioritize Crusader strike over Judgement if Divine Storm is on cd hopefully reseting it? What are your opinions?
Arcane mage does have an easy rotation, however what makes it difficult is mana management. You need to use your mana as much as possible while not ooming during fights. If you end with 10-20% mana it usually means you got the most out of your dps, if not then there was wasted dps.
??? i can't undestood. When i say i will be a destroction warlock every one says "you not will be able to do late game content, you will be kicked of the raid team and etc. Because, you need to play as demonologi" and you just come e say... "ho, destroction is goood and eazy"
Theres more to assa rogue. You have to balance your energy/envenom buff uptime/doing 3cp+ envenoms/doing mutilate only when the envenom buff is up preferably. Also all rogues should take the ToT glyph, theres no better alternative.
And 2 additional bars with 5-7 spells each, and a weapon swap macro, and a bunch of mobility that allows you to kite even the hardest of enraged Lks. :p
@@AwbeeX57 Dont think they know you can swap weps,and mostly those 5-7 spells are combined into two macros each....heroic strike and cleave macro that they take great care not to mix up if they attacking only boss,smarter ones have "charge" also out on hotbar,oh and yea i forgot about "one shot" or "opener" macro,so yea sry...more than 2
*How in the holy hell are Ret Pallies not the #1 easiest class to play? You can literally make a "/Cast Judgement of Light (enter) /Cast Crusader Strike (enter) /cast Divine Storm" macro, just /cast /cast /cast vertically, not even /Castsequence lmao... and boom, you officially have a 1 button spec...* Shit, even in TBC Judgement ate your Seal which was 30 sec instead of 30 minutes, they were in-combat abilities instead of being passive damage steroids and you needed a bunch of key-bindings for Seals, setting up Crusader Judgement for extra holy damage, in Wrath you didn't worry about any of that shit, just activating Seal of Righteousness/Vengeance once every half hour... Ret "rotation" is an absolute joke, sure you might get like 2% increased DPS by following some sort of pattern but you just use whatever as soon as it comes off CD, and macroing your 3 main abilities works since they have no conditions to them at all.... Even when Ele Shamans were just Chain Lighting and Lightning Bolt it took more skill to play than that! WotLK were the easiest class I've ever seen... granted, I've only played Vanilla-WotLK, I briefly played Cata, got my Warrior/Warlock to 85, started end game but it sucked ass and my RL was changing so I quit at the start of 2011... and even then very little vanilla since I can't play private servers as PvP is a literal impossibility since I'm Australian and we've never had an even remotely decent server to play on, you can only play pure PvE and pretty much have to stick to faceroll specs due to 375-450 ping with spikes in the thousands, so I'll have to wait until WotLK comes to Classic WoW unfortunately...
what about ret paladin? just smah your head on the keyboard and press what isnt on cd and do dps. i know some ret pala can use utility sutff but most ret palas dont and just dps.
They have a lot of support abilities like Lay on Hands, Blessings, Hand of Freedom, protection, salvation, they can offheal with an instant Flash Heal, they can Dsac/AM and the priority list with T10 2 set is actually pretty engaging because of the RNG.
I played assass rogue back when wotlk was live. It was one of the most complicated rotations around. Had to keep up 3 stacks of hunger for blood, had to weapon swap to get more procs of instant poison during envenom buff (also had to watch deadly poison stacks), and on top of it, snuck in as many ruptures as you could. I’m guessing this must’ve been different on private servers
They got a ton of utility and there is the chance that you loose track of what eclipse you're in, min maxing with starfall on trinkets, swappin forms for movement speed/tankiness, you can offheal, lots of stuff to do on a Doomkin :D
It happened like... I started Rogue on TBC Classic start, I knew it is not as good as Vanila one, and I didnt want to play combat, like everyone, so I started Sub and on 60 changed to assassination. It was nice, but fck threat system in TBC, I dropped the game like afte 20-30 hours of 70+. And I wandered, if I should level new class for upcoming wotlk classic. I guess, Nope )) I`m glad, assassination is doing fine dps and have means for threat control in Woltk. ty for vid. I thought bout mage n war, but it will be too popular, fck popular stuff. But I remember from those retail times Ele and retri did great burst dmg, and I was balance that day (with baaaaad hit rating, didnt understand, that it was so crucial), raid made me heal with a tree :((( I did great in naxx, but no pew pew for me ((
Combat is very many times more viable then Assasin because of their cooldowns and stronger AoE and multi target, Single target Assa will be fine though. Nice story kek
You should rename the title. Top 5 Easiest to play SPECS in WoTLK PVE. Cuz there is no easy class for pvp. Except some 1,2 specs ....Good job anyways. Im waiting for top 5 hardest specs to play in wotlk
it's all subjective. for me dot specs much easier than specs where you should spam buttons. and I disagree with you. Rogue shouldn't be first. If we talk about combat spec, just one drop of SnD will cost a lot of dps in total. It's nothing, if for example elem shaman occasionally will use one Lava Burst without Lava shock on target. Also rogue should use ToT, on some encounters it's critical. And Rupture, because it's better to use it if you not BiS. it's should be: 1. Ele sham; 2. Arcane/Fire Mage; 3. Rogue/Fury Warrior.
It's not subjective when you can break it down "1 dot + 2 spells" like Destro lock, if I did anything wrong in this video its the fact I didnt put destro below elemental. And we're talking about Assasin (Assesino).

No it doesn't, only auto attacks reset it, you should stick to the rotation of judgement > divine storm > crusader strike > Hammer of Wrath > etc

Yeah its easy to play, hard to master much like any class in WotLK.

its fine and easy, not better then Affli in dmg output past Ulduar (T8), this video was about easy to play specs, not viable specs specifically :D.
@@AwbeeX57 undestod, but if in't viable, why someone will want to be.
What's that add-on bottom center-left that's tracking totems and flame shock dot time?
as a assasination rogue, i must mention about the envenon timing, that is shit is the difference between a noobie and a good assas
Since i'll be making an assasino, what would be the right timing?
@@AwbeeX57 when you use envenon, you got a buff, u should not clip it unless u are full energy, use a tracker of envenon buff

arcane is way easier than assassin rogue. It's not even close.
