Classes with the least buttons in total?

Hello, I was wondering what are the Top 5 classes with the least buttons in total from lowest to highest amount. I know Demon Hunter is known for only having a few buttons, but I’m sick and tired of playing as an Elf.

So I wanna change classes next month. Please include specs.

Devoker doesn’t have a whole lot of rotational buttons, and has a low APM. The difficulty comes with the nuance of the spec.

You could also try fury warrior, it was similar enough to havoc the last time i played it, but honestly haven’t really touched it yet this expansion

Also destruction warlock is pretty plain, as is BM hunter

TBH if you want a real brain off experience. BM hunter is great. You can do your full rotation on the move and at 40 yards, and it’s really easy.

bm hunter or evoker

Fury has a decent amount of buttons and fairly involved rotation in aoe. I don’t know of any classes these days with only a few buttons.

Has it changed significantly since shadowlands? Because the aoe rotation in SL was just weaving whirlwind into your single target rotation which you sometimes did anyway when you had a global to fill.

Frost DK Oblit build is the least buttons I’ve come across. Outside of some longer CDs, it’s like 3 buttons (Howling Blast, Oblit, and Frost Strike). Oblit is like every other key press at times and ~35-40% of your overall damage.

I have never had more braindead of a time than playing any of the 3 hunter specs.
Braindead, but still fun :grin:

Fury is more button presses per minute than havoc but is more simple rotation wise than the momentum build for havoc.

I’m enjoying fury though, the cooldowns come up so fast compared to meta being a long cd.

Yeah I hate momentum too. There is a glaive tempest non momentum build that is pretty fun but it’s technically not as much dmg.

if your thought process is less buttons=easier that’s certainly not the case.

I did not even remotely imply that. Or else I would have asked “what’s the easiest class”, but I did not.

No idea i didn’t play warrior much in sl. Maybe involved was the wrong word. It isn’t complicated but it can be very punishing. You rarely cast whirlwind as filler anymore and if you tunnel and aren’t keeping that up every 5th gcd you can readily go from higher dps to dead last in a few gcds. We are far from the strongest class this season so that dps loss becomes pretty major quickly.

Technically you could build most specs to have just two or three rotational abilities, but this will likely cost you DPS.

Otherwise probably BM Hunter. It’s always been the simplest.

Unless I’m mistaken, every class has auto attack. Get close, right click the bad peoples, auto attack while you get up and go do whatever. 1 CPE (click per enemy).

Play enhancement shamen. They don’t have any buttons :neutral_face:

I’m probably gonna end up leveling my BM Hunter to run M+ with friends because apparently I can’t play anything else and do mechanics like I used to.

Or I’ll just install one of those addons that tells me what to press, whatever.

Something to note about few button classes is usually some kinda of buff/bleed management.

BM has few buttons but optimal to multi-dot bleeds and keep up frenzy.

Fury has a few buttons in its core but whirlwind buff for AoE but it is more spammy now than I remember it being.

Havoc in order to play the ‘easy mode’ you’re giving up 6-8% damage you lose both direct damage and a resource builder. I feel like you could probably make a similar sacrifice on other classes and get the same result.

BM Hunter with a frenzy tracker is probably the easiest followed by;
Demonology Warlock in terms of what I’d say is easiest overall. Elemental Shaman since they got Lightning Rod has been fairly easy too, albeit the build without Icefury.

I played a Guardian Druid last season and felt it was probably my easiest KSM. The regrowth build essentially gave you lay on hands every mob pack and that’s if you didn’t heal everyone up using wildfire. Insane unit and while I haven’t played it this season, I hear it’s even better.

Only if you’re lazy and can’t multitask. I’ve got 17 keybinds, not including the 4 buttons for my pet

Elemental shaman is like 3 or 4 buttons I think.
