Easiest and also high dps class

Anyone know? Retail seems to have a complex combat system so is there any class that is easy but also can be played through high end content?

BM hunter isn’t that easy. It’s not hard but to perform at your best does require some timing and honest effort.

Havoc, though…

BM Hunter. I know BM hunters don’t like to be told their spec is easy, but it’s honestly the most beginner level class you can have.

Well besides havoc, demon hunters don’t interest me at all

DH is so easy it’s boring.

It’s not that easy if you want to play well, that’s where we get annoyed.

It’s not hard, either, I’d put us at middle of the road.

Harder than Havoc, easier than feral.

Havoc DH for sure. They can do amazing without having to really put in any effort.

If you don’t like DH then BM hunter, while harder to play well, is very accessible.

I won’t deny that our skill floor is pretty low.

the biggest hurdle to doing well with bm hunter is the carpal tunnel from smashing 1.

Arcane mage.

  1. Arcane Blast until out of mana
  2. Evoc
  3. Go to step 1

I’m sure you’ll be fine. I haven’t tackled M+ at all since I’ve been kinda in a daze this expansion and in Legion I did M+ as survival.

Someone more experienced in M+ could give more insight but there are guides out there:

I guess FOTM will always be in demand.

I tend to always like the easy path. But DH is too easy even for me. You could litereally play it with a NES controller.

yeah haha it just seems to mind numbing, plus I don’t like the animations and races that can be it, I like playing beefy characters. So BM hunter it is?

Most classes actually play quite similarly, slight differences to nuance but similar button usage etc.

BM hunter is the only 1 with “less buttons”, maybe a DH too but they have more buttons than they used to for actual optimal DPS, hunters are more about using CDs properly and often while also maximizing GCD usage to make sure KC is always on CD.

The person saying some classes are 3 button rotations is a bad player and should be ignored, no class is 3 buttons when played properly, but definitely BM hunter for the least amount of consistently used buttons.
