Have you ever given up on playing a class?

There are some classes where you think you do, but you don’t (know how to play them). You can quest all the way to 120 and still not realize how badly you suck at that class. Until you the day you enter a raid, then you think maybe Blizz didn’t balance it well, but no, others are performing great! So the jury is out, you’re just not good at it and never will be. Time to forget both that character and the idea of playing that class ever again. Has this ever happened to you?

Rogue. And monk.

class no. spec yes.

i cannot for the life of me do sub rogue. just can’t do it. i’m beyond terrible. probably won’t ever try again unless blizz decides to gut the spec or w/e. i got to 40-ish and gave up.

I don’t give up on the class. Which for me is druid, priest and monk. I just never do scenarios, dungeons or raids with them because I know I’m bad at the class.

I don’t think I’ve ever fully given up on playing a class or anything, but I definitely avoid some. Sin rogue is an eternal struggle for me, as is both DK dps specs. Honestly i’m pretty trash at Ret pally too.

Definitely. I mained Guardian Druid and Vengeance DH in Legion. I changed classes because I actually wanted to be able to play the game in BFA

Arms warrior. I just cannot make them work. I die faster than an undergeared arcane mage with a rez debuff.

Rogue and Warrior, i just lose all interest.

I feel like my rotation is babysitting in all rogue specs, and warriors are like demon hunters but slightly less mobile.

Rogue. Tried three different characters too. Couldn’t do it.

Sort of. I gave up on my cow druid because his leader went against Sylvanas. I’m happily leveling an undead dk now.

I’ve stoped playing classes that I didn’t enjoy but never because I was not good at it, if I’m not good I just practice and get better.

The first time I raided as MW I did much worse than the other, more experienced, MW in the group, it was a bit tough for me initially because I consider myself a very good healer. It also happened to me on Shadow Priest, this one I didn’t care too much about since DPS is my off-role.

And it might have happened a couple more times…

No, why?, you can always get better… I identified my mistakes, asked for advise if needed, practiced and got better.

I have leveled a Druid from 1-100 when I finally shut it down because I’m pretty awful with the class.

Rogue from 1-110 I’m pretty bad with this class as well but for some sick reason being bad at it makes even questing a bit challenging at times which I kind of enjoy.

Yes, all of them. Gave up on dishonest devs and leads that made them too

Rogue. Every time I try I think, “Yeah, I’m gonna be a cool sneaky assassin!” And every time it just feels so garbage. I’ve leveled and deleted a few, but I think this time I’ve finally gotten it through my head: I will never enjoy this class.

Mage as well, for a different reason. Zero interest. They seem so dull.

I’m close on Shadow Priest. I absolutely despise Voidform.

I hate my Mage. None of the specs are fun.

I never liked pally. They are a good class and all but I never enjoyed it enough to try and get good. I try every new expansion and still I’m no good and don’t like it enough to put any effort in.

Shadow priest. Its mechanics are kind of clunky to me and I just don’t dig it really.

I hop on it once in a while to get better gear thinking that will fix it for me but its not really changing my stance on it.

Hell I don’t even like taking her back to legion. Cranked up an “easier” dungeon to mythic. My usual litmus test for a class since more solo play preferred. And left going yeah…no.

I’ve lost interest. Not sure if that defines as ‘giving up’.

Gave up on my druid. Not because I found it difficult but because I just got tired of working twice as hard to do the same amount of damage as other dps specs. Now I just use it to sh*tpost on the forums and farm leather transmogs for my monk.

The only class I’ve given up on because I couldn’t understand it was warlock. Destruction is just boring to me no matter how strong it is. Aff is always hit or miss, and I feel like I need a PHD to play Demonology.
