Are there any DPS class/specs that dont require a 20 string ability rotation to do maximum dps?
Aside from BM Hunter, everything I play requires at least a dozen abilities, in the right order to do appropriate damage for my i level. This bloat is wildly annoying.
Destro lock is pretty simple.
Edit: Just stay away from Arcane Mage. What a clunky spec that is.
Destro can be made with as little as 4 buttons. Immolate, incinerate, CB and RoF. Just take all the passives.
Fury and Frost DK both have similar builds that can take a ton of passives to not add buttons or in Fury’s case even get rid of one.
Boomkin is not too bad. Not more than 7 buttons but it does require dot management if you ok with that.
Just off memory, moonfire, sunfire, wrath, starfire, starfal, the purple astral spender, new moon, half moon, full moon, astral flare, cooldowns, and probably a bunch of other situational abilities too
BM hunter has basically two abilities you spam, then others you click on proc, its simple, fun and doing a ton of damage…
Astral flare is not required neither is new moon. You can play balance with moon and sunfire wrath and astral whatever starsurge and fury of elune. Most specs have talent options to keep it relatively simple.
Devastation evoker.
I spend almost half my time just chaining disintegrate.
plus new moon half moon and full moon are all in one button with 3 charges. Outside of burst a balance druid rotation should look like: Moonfire, Sunfire, Starfire x2, spam wrath till astral bar is full, then use starsurge and repeat.
For Aoe its: Sunfire, Moonfire, Wrath x2, Starfire spam till astral bar is full, then use star fall and repeat.
Toss in what ever 2-3 min cd abilities that increase ya dps when ya need em.
Outside arcane mage most of the dps specs are pretty easy in this game, idk why people are trying to complicate them as hard as possible.
Counter: are they any specs that can actually have a full 20 rotational DPS spells?
I’ve been leveling up my warrior recently and fury is still very simple.
You can keep in simple, but you wont get a raid spot. Thats all im saying to actually do the most damage with your gear you have to be hyper focused on your rotation until its muscle memory
To be fair, OP did mention doing appropriate damage for his ilevel, which assume means doing “competitive” damage. So doing a bad talent build is maybe not what they are looking for.
As others have already mentioned; demo lock, fury war, frost dk, personally I find Ret to be pretty manageable.
You’re never going to do “maximum” or “competitive” dps while being lazy, and nor should you.
Lucky for you though, most specs can do like 70-80% of their dps potential while being incredibly lazy. You can green parse and get carried to your heart’s content in your local LFR or normal raid, and collect those participation trophies.
So you think that lets say fury warrior is “lazy” becuase it doesn’t have many buttons, despite being a very fast pace button mashing spec?
A lazy player wouldn’t care about doing competive dps or be out looking for a spec they could do well with for their ability.
I cant think of any actual dps with 20 buttons for rotation; maybe all together with utility usage or pvp where you gotta pull off a ton of cc and movement, but for pve after openers i cant think of one above 11.
Healers trying to add dps to their normal heal flow maybe since we usually get 5-6 dps buttons on top of 10+ heal buttons but half of those are also usually cooldowns.
Did you mean a class with a light opener or low apm cause even 4 button classes can have really complicated openers or high apm gameplay.
That is not the meaning of the sentence, perhaps work on your reading comprehension.
The OP was asking:
“Are there any DPS class/specs that dont require a 20 string ability rotation to do maximum dps?”
In theory all specs can be made into a 4 button spec with all passives, maybe 5-6 buttons for some. But for BiS setups and all those sites that have an import button, yeh you need to have upwards of 30 buttons on your bars.
What are you even on about? The OP is asking about specs that use less buttons to do their full potential. And you called him lazy, which is you just stroking your ego. There’s nothing lazy about seeking out a spec that you can do well with when you struggle with having many keybinds or complex rotations.
The one you posted one seems to be mondless imo
Guess not OP, but you don’t need maximum DPS either.
Also, 20 is a slight exaggeration. More like 5-10, CDs included, for most specs.
