Depends on the utility. I’d say warlock brings quite a bit. Healthstones, a res, summoning, portals, etc.
Pretty much in agreeance with this. Rogue’s might have fallen down a step with the buff to invisi potion however they are still useful. There aren’t many good alternatives for melee providing utility.
If I had to choose a third it would be Monk.
For ranged a would add either Mage or Hunter as a 3rd option.
Boomy and rogue, closely followed by warlock.
DHs bring little utility outside of making a pile of bodies and the occasional darkness drop.
Boomy, sin/outlaw and demo pretty much obliterate things and have actual utility to them.
Compared to most melee though? Having a 30s cd AoE stun plus incredible AoE for M+ is great.
Agreed that in raid their utility drops to having high mobility for mechanics and providing a 5% spell damage increase.
Rogues are pretty dang useful, sap, blind and shroud can be really good.
DKs in places like King’s Rest or Atal’dazar for control undead.
The 1.5s stun is worthless unless you’re interrupting multiple crazy murder-spells. I’d hardly call it high-utility, regardless, though.
demo? thats not the spec I would pick but interesting
It’s more that as melee they have poor competition.
Melee just don’t have high utility in general.
But with targeted CC that removes aggro radius, stealth vision, a potential damage reduction AoE, a 30s cd AoE stun, a potential damage soak immunity, and 5% spell damage increase they have a significant benefit over their competition.
There’s group utility and self utility.
I’d say a beastmaster with a spirit beast has the most self utility.
