Any specs you just REFUSE to play?

Probably tried every spec, only one I have never really enjoyed is MSV, then again that could be due to the fact it replaced a spec I enjoyed.

Edit, Priest is another class I can’t get into, tried numerous times and always abandon it within 10-15 levels.

Non-healing casters. Just don’t find them fun.

Warlock. I played one to 60 in the old days . It was not a fun grind . It left a really bad impression that has stuck with me. I play literally every other class. I maintain a 70 of every class except lock.

It used to be balance druid but now i’m playing that as an alt because it doesn’t suck to play anymore…

I’m gonna go with outlaw rogue. My hands hurt.

I mean. You’re not wrong. Whichever gameplay designer decided these 2 abilities would be 99% of arcane spec should probably be fired tbh. Or at the very least move them to some other class like monk or something.

For Evoker, it’s Aug. I tried it, saw the other DPS do half my usual damage even when buffed, decided it wasn’t worth the coin-flip of having good teammates.

For rogue, it’s subtlety and outlaw. For some reason, any rogue spec that isn’t Assassination just doesn’t click with me.

For warrior, it’s fury. I just prefer having Arms.

For death knight, it’s frost. It’s simplicity is just too simple that I need to either go full-smoothbrain with Blood or tryhard with Unholy.

For priest, it’s the healer specs because I only touch priest for the Shadow aesthetic.

For druid, it’s resto simply because of DPS brain.

Paladin, mostly cause I dont like how ret feels so just not gonna play the class. The only 70 i dont got, sadge.

28

Aside from disc priest, I’ve never really gotten the hang of playing a healer in solo open world content.

29

For personal reasons:

  • Demo lock (I don’t like the idea of using many pets).
  • UH DK (Same as above but for undead)
  • Augvoker (Feels like a pain to use solo, which is my focus)
  • Holy Paladin (I don’t like the spec, that’s all)
  • Disc Priest (Holy is the healer to me. Disc should have a DPS option)
  • “Survival” Hunter (“look how they massacred my boy”.png)

I used to never play balance druid, always feral, but inverted that notion lately due to gearing (it’s easier to share resto/balance gear than resto/feral), since I also don’t play Guardian at all.

Some specs I simply don’t play much/at all anymore, but not for a refusal to play, they just got meh to me:

  • Fire Mage (I’ve played fire for a long time. Maybe next expansion.)
  • Arcane Mage (I really didn’t like the way this spec changed since Legion)
  • Feral/Guardian Druid (As explained above)
  • Arms Warrior (Once I went Fury, I never went back to Arms, which I played for years)
  • Affliction Warlock (Didn’t like the way that spec went).
  • Mist Monk (Don’t really like it much)
  • Sub Rogue (same as Afflock)
  • Outlaw Rogue (I liked and played it in Legion but it doesn’t feel like a “Rogue” to me, so I just stopped playing it. Plus I like daggers.)
  • Enhance Shaman (Gear/Trinket issue)

That was me for a long time, until GoSac became a thing.

Edit: I miss being a class, not a spec. Here’s hoping we can play Frostfire in TWW.

Survival hunter - there’s already a ton of melee specs.

Havoc and Vengeance DK. For me it feels like I’m doing the rotations wrong so I wind up hating the gameplay so I stop leveling.

32

Ranged/caster specs.

33

I’ve refused to play Demonology ever since they changed it’s fantasy from “Demon Lord” to “Summoner”.

IMHO “Summoner” just doesn’t work in games like these. You’re a Warlock, you’re supposed to be risking your immortal soul for power. Yet there’s nothing quite as opposite to a power fantasy than a summoner.

Like, you summon a whole gang of Demons so that you and that whole gang can be, together, as strong as one regular dude. Like… wat?

Reading through this thread, I realized that there are no specs I would NEVER play. Even specs I am really bad at like Holy Paladin, I would still like to learn how to play. And as a former priest main, I won’t play Disc in a pug, but I will in a group of guildies. So under the right circumstances I’ll play any spec.

35

I’ve never rolled a Warlock, I just don’t care for the fantasy. I haven’t created an Evoker yet, and I’m not in any hurry to. My Demon Hunter languishes. I guess I just don’t like playing OP.

36

holy.

don’t like it.

37

I dislike Unholy.

Mainly because it’s disease based. I dislike disease and rot based stuff, particularly in WoW where it just feels gross.

That season that had both Underrot and Brackhenhide were the absolute worsts for me.

Roles

  • Healing - I quit with the cata triage change and will never go back.

Classes

  • All Evoker Specs - The dragon is one of the ugliest models in the game, if we could have had the option for the big beefy guys I might have considered it.
  • All Monk Specs - Don’t care for the class fantasy.
  • All Rogue specs - I hate energy and they can’t tank (If assasination could tank I might give one a shot.)
  • All Mage specs - To squishy.
  • All Shamans - I’ve always hated Thrall and the electric and lava color combination looks horrid to me.

Specs

  • UH DK - Don’t care for the look and way to many buttons.
  • Survival Hunter - If I play hunter I want to play ranged.
  • Arms Warrior - Why use one two-hander when you could play Fury and have two.
  • Shadow Priest - I hate tracking dots.
  • Boomkin - I can’t wrap my head around how its supposed to work.

Specific Builds

  • Momentum DH - I hate using movement abilities for damage its puts me in poor positions and I don’t have movement when I need it.
  • Frost DK Breath - Never been a fan of trying to maintain a CD as long as possible.
  • Feral with Bloodtalons - I don’t like the needless complication on a spec thats already fairly complicated.

I guess I never realized how much of the game I’ll never play.

Moo!
