I wish just one class, or just one spec, was engaging

Like I don’t think that’s asking too much. Every class in the game is just so mindless and repetitive now, and they keep making them easier and easier – it gets boring really quickly. It’s not like the content is hard enough to justify it either.

Sounds like wow is no longer for you. Your wants and needs have change maybe. No shame in that. It happens to all of us as we grow.

WoW is not a Job you have to come into. If you no longer enjoy it? By all means dont pay for it

My guess is you’re burnt out on wow and literally no opinion on here is going to sway that

Agreed. OP needs to skip the rest of this season and take a break. Come back next season and see if they still have fun. If not? Cancel your sub. Its not for everyone.

The Day I stop having fun I will do the same. Without hesitation

You need a break, not saying to quit the game but when you get to this point a break is in order.

I find both enh and ele pretty engaging to play at a high level.

Monk’s kind of fun but this whole Conduit of the Celestials build annoys me (vs last season’s Shadopan). Feral Druid’s complex I guess if you like being annoyed by managing debuffs AND energy AND combo points.

I mean… are classes getting easier? I haven’t really noticed. If anything it feels harder (Except Paladin and some other outliers).

Remember when Mage was Frostbolt? And only Frostbolt? Maybe different ranks of Frostbolt?

You may have had Cone of Cold and Frost Nova bound. Poly, too.

Classes are more complex than they have ever been. It’s easy to forget just how simple things were in the past unless you were a Warrior stance dancing.

No kidding. Even Arms Warrior has some weird priorities. You can mash your buttons on cooldown but the difference between a good Arms player and a bad Arms player are night and day.

Fury’s braindead I guess (If you like carpal tunnel) and Prot’s as boring as the rest of the tanks. There’s always Blood DK and Guardian Druid if you like dying because you didn’t prioritize a single GCD correctly.

I love playing my DH and DK.

Maybe you just don’t enjoy wow anymore. Take a break.

This. OP is either just burnt out? or their wants, needs or expectations have changed. This happens to alll of us subconsciously as we get older. Many things I use to love and enjoy I no longer do. There is no shame in this. They key is to recognize that so you can do something about it.

This case like I said above. WoW is not a job you are forced to come into. Its a service you pay for. Dont enjoy it anymore? No biggie. Don’t pay for it

Pretty much the bottom line here

I do need to give modern Arms another shot, I think. There’s probably a way I can do it a bit cleaner than I was.

I’ll mess with it some other time.

I remember my very complex warlock rotation in vanilla… is a curse needed? If not, corruption, shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt, shadow bolt and now here is where it gets tricky, oh no wait, shadow bolt until corruption falls off.

So complex and engaging!

Dont bother. I did. It still feels clunky gimmicky. No where near as streamline as fury feels.

I mean shadow priest seems to be pretty tricky to do right. Plenty of specs and classes are engaging but if youre burned out nothing is gonna grab you.

Might be time for a break.

This isn’t a RogueLike game. Abilities have to be static and repetitive in order to balance them.

I find a few specs ‘engaging’, personally. demolock, for example, and WW monk

Don’t find any of the Rogue specs fun? Still loving Outlaw myself.

I see what you did there…

OP is seeking validation in their choice to take a break. It seems to be a common thing this these newer generations. Im early Gen X borderline Boomer. My generation grew up pre social media and pre internet. We were UNABLE to get validation for our choices. You had to make them completely on your own. So maybe thats why I have trouble understanding this.

But it is what it is

Back in WotLK I used to play Arcane Mage with a TV remote control while lying in bed. Classes definitely haven’t gotten easier lol

Arms is pretty fun. The chunky crits are rewarding, and it’s a bit more involved than Fury. Only thing is theres probably a few too many CDs that don’t line up
