I played devourer for exactly 37 seconds. Now I can do the rotation at 100% efficiency. Blizzard… you gotta introduce more to this spec. Makes BM look high IQ

it’s honestly ridiculous. but i have a feeling it’s the exact opposite, they want ALL classes to eventually play like this

I dunno man, when I can do the same DPS as the Ddh winning race to world first (assuming equal gear)…. Wheres the skill expression? Why even play the game?
Making BM look high IQ I doubt that 
Idc spec is amazing. Play something else if you don’t like it.

Yea, but resource management is still there. I’d say “above BM”, for sure.
Or, they can introduce some skill expression and you can play OBA if you dont like it.
Also, Sub rogue is the new baseline for zero cognitive effort.

If it took 37 seconds to find the one button rotation, the spec might be harder than you think it is…
Not all specs or classes need to be difficult; it’s good to have specs for people who want to come home from work and switch off their brains for a while.

It helps to understand their design choices when you realize they actually view classes in wow as a type of transmog, rather than an engaging, integral part of combat or gameplay.

thats because 2 weeks ago the devs buff reap and its morphs theough the roof
now the spec os vastly over the top
its needs amd probabaly will get a 30% aura nerf on 3/17
The AoE spec is easier then BM i agree. But the optimal Single Target build with the melee stuff baked in actually takes 3 braincells to play compared to BMs 2 braincells 
yes the spec is fun and amazing idk why pple say its too easy like bm isnt easy like 1 button rogue isnt easy idc how easy or hard something is if i enjoy the play style thats all that matters devour dh is the most fun i have had in a while , oh and lets not forget ret bubble damage done so shut up with your its to easy bs every class is easy

Fun and Amazing are your subjective feelings. Nobody cares. It is objectively as basic as it gets.
Adding skill expression wouldn’t hurt you. Not sure why that is so upsetting to you. You could still LFR and quest and not be the wiser.

Damage is very weak, I was kind of shocked.
Funny thing is that even the caster build has to make use of melee skills. That damage increasing debuff apparently makes a big difference in raid single target.
The problem is that’s every spec now. The game already had easy specs for people who wanted that, dumbing down literally every spec in the game was a terrible move.
My gripe with devourer is the damage is “late to the party”. In group content, I enjoy it a ton, both void scarred with the melee abilities, and annihilator. But with easy/solo content, feels like I have to dance around first or utter a prayer of some sorts before I can finally do my damage. On other classes I can just start blasting away with my burst at the start of the fight.
I havemt pvp’d yet on my devourer, but I feel like it’s gonna be the same problem: I tickle people first while everyone else is blasting away already
Play the void scarred delve build. It’s less static and relies more on melee. It’s about jumping in to slash and vengeance retreat to build via consume.
