So I am loving BM, Ret Paladin, and fire mage as well as resto druid. I haven’t played other specs/classes to 120 so can’t really judge.
Math wise yes. The gameplay is terrible.
Arcane is ok for world content but really unless your AoE farming and gathering up tons of mobs to AoE down where you’re not concerned with having to drink to restore mana after, you’re probably better off to go frost or fire.
It’s just a dead spec really. Ok for some things but really good at nothing except soloing down an elite or two.
Also, they ruined Affliction. The additional spells and dots just ruined the gameplay. So many spells and talents feel like outliers and not what the spec is about. It’s AoE is abysmal.
It’s been really sad having to change the main spec for my main AND my primary alt in the same expansion thanks to the next evolution of “class fantasy” from this development team.
I’m actually praying that the apparent success of Classic/failure of BfA to retain players puts a “kick me out the door” sign on Ion’s back. His time has come and someone with more actual insight into the game and who actually listens to the players gets put in charge of retail for the next expansion.

If they don’t redo all classes, I won’t even buy the next expansion.
If they don’t change, what’s boring now, will continue to be boring then basically.

My bad y’all I meant arcane isn’t fine it’s too boring and hasn’t changed in years and frankly needs it’s artiface ability back as baseline
Im loving marksman.
I’ve never seen anyone be declined from m+ due to their class. Also, i haven’t really seen anyone say pvp has anything to do with end game progression this expac, in fact, just the opposite.
Maybe just a little

Warlocks are fine?, are you dumb, warlocks are far from being fine, warlocks is the worse class for M+ and pvp, we only do well in raids, but other classes are totally broken like paladins. How about we totally exclude paladins next expansion and say that they are fine?.
I enjoy playing Ret when I DPS for my guild…whats wrong with it? Just a little RNG dependent but lots of specs are…
I see plenty of locks when I run m+ on alts…what the feck are you on about? Afflic locks are like #2 or something for DPS
show me how many warlocks are in the 1000s ladder logs in warcraftlogs, then you will see how wrong you are.

Locks are #2 and #3. Maybe you just don’t know what you are doing?
It gets better as you post from your afflic lock while complaining they aren’t high.
Note destro is #7
Overall they are the only class with all specs above #10 dude. If you aren’t getting high DPS, you either do not have the right stats, or are sucking with letting those DOTs drop bud. The math doesn’t lie.
I’m hoping along with reworks we get some of our access to other spells back. I wasn’t maining a mage when the changes first went in, but losing the ability to frostbolt in other specs for kiting purposes would be not only mechanically weird with that transition but also feels weird from a narrative perspective too.
Also, giving more access to more schools of magic again, even if they’re not as effective, gives them the chances to make chromatic bosses again which I thought were neat. “Oh no, he’s on fire, stop using fire spells for a minute!”

thats raiding, did you even read what i said? show me the 1000 ladder for m+ wich you claim warlocks are good?, you wont see many warlocks there, what you show is the raiding rankings for dps.
Hahaha
Nice one.
And classes good at M+ aren’t necessarily the best in raiding. There are trade offs, but as historically raiding is the basis for power assessment, that is what is used. You wanna be better and m+? roll different class. It is like that for EVERY expansion, as classes do better in one area but not another. Why should blizz change the balance because you want to do what your spec/class isn’t the best at, and not do what it is best at?
