4 buttons (with 2 cooldowns) to do great damage with little effort.
Compared to many other classes that take much more setup and timing AND buttons.
Sure I have a lot of keybinds on my hunter as well, but to just go out in the world and play the game, I just have to hit barbed shot, and then decide whether I need to hit multi shot or cobra shot and then kill command on cooldown and kill shot when it procs.
You’re not building up combo points, waiting for necessary procs, timing a fireball so that just as the end of the cast you’re hitting fireblast followed immediately by another button, and god forbid you have to move. ETc Etc etc.
So sure, 4 buttons is hyperbole. But It’s the easiest spec in the game to play well with the least effort. And I’m not downtalking it. I love that about BM. I hate all the complicated crap some classes have to do.
BM is the place to go if you want to enjoy wow with as little frustration as possible.
+War Mode
+Random BGs (when you want to smash heads)
+Run Chromie Time intros where you only/mainly see your own faction - Pandaria / Draenor / Legion (when you want to be left alone)
That’s what I did for this guy, and it was the fastest I think I’ve ever leveled:
Nothing beats BM in terms of ease of use, 0 movement penalties, ranged, core rotation is 3 buttons, maintain 1 dot, use kill command on cd, don’t cap focus with cobra shot
Replace cobra shot with multishot for aoe
It’s actually strange when you first try the spec having half your core keybinds not being used
I’d like to know the same thing, but specifically for tank and heal specs. Like what specs do you play if you don’t care about “interesting” 4D chess sort of gameplay and just want specs that lend themselves to being consistently great at their particular roles.
They can… rare, but can. Also my DH pulls in small adds to kill for the orbs.
For the orbs spawning in combat, I had Demonic Appetite selected while leveling for the Lesser Soul Fragments. The regular soul fragments heal for 20% and the lessers heal for 10%… both give 30 fury. Once I changed to Blind Fury, I lost out of the lessers, but of course the dps is much better.
Bro your parse average on the TWO mythic bosses you’ve killed is 35%. That’s actually abysmal especially on a joke of a melee class like ret.
your brain couldn’t comprehend complicated class design for dps if it hit you in the face.
If it could you wouldn’t be a green parser.
Hop on any of the 3 warlock specs and try to get higher than a blue parse, then MAYBE you can have an opinion
Arcane mage is must easier than frost in my opinion. BM Hunter is super easy. Also some tank specs are super easy. Unholy DH is also easy. Paladin is easy and has utility.
