This one time, years and years ago, my friend showed off by doing frost trap, wyvern sting, readyness, frost trap, wyvern sting, and offtanked a mob with his pet while kiting another… basically CCing 6 mobs.

I then realized survival hunter was insane.

But if we’re talking today’s game and pure utility… boomkin or warlock, as Birds said.
Hard to really argue with that.

Surprised no one has put monks or rogues into the discussion for keys.

Idk what would be best best but imo the convo isnt over until they are brought up

Boomy hands down, they have trees, root, mass interrupt, battle res, vortex, innervate, and barkskin. They basically have the most OP toolkit, if they literally had lust then they would be the top pick in all M+ groups.

Hunters also have soothe, and mass root with a short CD with binding shot

I agree both have thier unique utility, yet druid simply has far more, and pretty much each patch and expansion one spec will always shine. Which to me means they have far more utility as a result. In that trees is a super valuable CD for big pulls, especially on necrotic weeks.

For dungeons, it’s either druid or rogue.
raid is usually warlock

It also really depends on what utility the current dungeons/raids require.

Monk utility is mostly just ring of peace, and being able to delete a trash pack before it does anything

Binding shot is an 8 sec root with a 40 or 45 sec CD.
Druid mass roots is a 30 sec root with a 30 sec CD.
Yes, binding shot doesn’t break on damage, but you can’t have high uptime on it

Aoe stun, Incap, dispel, touch of death, mystic touch, Defuse magic, provoke has a speed increase that can be useful, Transcendence can occasionally be useful for grouping mobs etc too. Plus their constant damage.

Idk if I would say they are best but imo they need to be in the convo.
