Best DPS class/spec for epic BGs?

Especially if you’re playing with pugs. So something with good survivability, mobility, control, and unbothered by interrupts.

Either of the ranged Hunter specs.

Havoc, Demo/Affy, Shadow, Fury, Sub, Assassination would all be excellent DPS for BGs right now.

since they specifically wanted epic bgs i’d not recommend rogue. Too many people. 15 people jumping on you cause you sapped someone now that DH can detect stealth is super unfun lol.

maybe if it’s av. towers and stuff super rogue-y.

I don’t hate my frost mage; she does great AOE in Ashran. But I would recommend hunter for most situations. Their damage feels brutal.

boomkin, marksmen, lizard, dk, dh, warlock, sp, ele.

ive seen all those specs do insane dam

my boy dozzer the ele sham went like 37-0 and topped charts by a mile last bg we did

i think thats what makes this xpac so great. u can do insane pump on all classes pretty much . ive even seen rogues near the top in some epic bgs

If boomy didn’t suck right now I’d recommend it.

Otherwise hunter.

The ability to stealth on demand (especially druid) is super clutch in epics. Lets you pick and choose battles and avoid the ones you don’t want to be in.

Boomy also has insane druid mobility plus bear and frenzied regen.

Hunter right now though (especially mm) is great.

I am a markman hunter, it works great in BG Pug or premade. For Solo Arena it’s slow. Plenty of damage but slow, so slow my arena’s last a long time until I can get my victims to a level I can hammer out a sequence that kills them or we can win that shuffle.

I am always getting stunned and use feigns death a lot and the trinket.

I have played beastmaster but love Marksman vs any other hunter/ranger build.

Sincerely,
Airwen

P.S. I’m not afraid of the demon hunter, I will eat it for lunch if I can.

It’s all pad damage, starfall spam. The playstyle is just bleh and damage is mostly fluff.

yeah but sometimes really great pad damage can overhwelm the healers yeah?

i bet its def not the best spec… i mean… i played my boomy for 30 mins and never touched it again cuz the starsurges felt so weak compared to before pre-patch.

but still if i was in the mood to pad meters i guess i wouldnt mind playing a boomkin every now and then
