Lowest APM DPS?

Arms warrior has a low APM

As someone with arthritis, I’ve leveled a destro warlock to 120 (horde side). It was pretty easy going compared to other classes. Blood DK probably competes for slow gameplay but its not a DPS spec but still wanted to throw it out there.

Someone said above, but furry and havoc really stress my arthritis making the classes unplayable for me due to health reasons. Hunter is pretty hard too on me since its pretty fast paced even without many buttons to press. There is a lot of reasons to play slower classes (which I assume is what OP is looking for). A big part of that is health reasons like arthritis which is my scenario.

As someone else said carpal tunnel syndrome or other disabilities that affect the hands.

Per sim craft, assassins are the lowest.
Afterwards, destro and arcane are up there.
The reason both havoc and fury are up there is because they dramatically increase their haste through talents and azerite leading to more actions

Well simcraft is wrong.

I will not accept an assass rogue being slower than arms

I mean, you can complain as much ss you like but that is what the data states.
Of all the classess assassin has been the lowest in apm

I guess the shtatisthtics dont lie

The issue is Destro, like Fire Mage, blows all of it’s abilities during the Infernal window. While yes it averages out to 45 or whatever, a lot of that is spent during the 30 second infernal window every 2.1 minutes.

Cool, I was just checking a site - - didn’t ask for any clarification on it BUT that’s good to know of their little dmg window. Sounds annoying lol

Assassination, especially multi-target, is far from being the slowest APM, moves are flying constantly.

And I know the feeling of hands being on fire.

They can’t spend every global every second, their energy regen doesn’t permit it outside of NP Vendetta windows or Lucid Dreams.

Also as a note for the aging folks. I’m on medication that impairs my focus. So I look for classes/ specs that don’t require a lot of tracking, and have found demon hunter quite nice.

Attacks per minutes means it is easy? Or is there another meaning for APM.

Shadow Priest is literally GCD capped at all times.

All of them?
This game isn’t really very high on APM.

But if I had to pick, BM Hunter maybe?

Actions per minute, generally something referenced in RTS games like SCII or Moba where you have more pin-point things to worry about.

I’m 36 and the signs of aging are starting to set in for me as well. I’m part of the Generation who remembers childhood both before and after the internet. The first inacs were released in what 1997? I was fifteen. I was there and it’s cool being such a part of that. However my wrist hurts! We’re gonna be the carpel tunnel generation as well. Been using mouses for years and years and I can feel it. Destruction warlock offers me a satisfying pace that I really enjoy. Hard hitting effective spells that aren’t lightning speed always keeping me moving about. I can plant myself and destroy.

That guy has no idea what he’s talking about.

A hand split/brace works wonders. Wear it throughout the day to keep your wrist neutral, while trying to do normal activities. You’ll get a bit of a workout as well which will make your forearm/wrist stronger.

Trigger finger is something else though, got that a bit in my finger that usually presses the builder ability. Just gotta take a break at times. Turned to using a gamepad to play which is a bit more ergonomic for my wrist too.

I don’t think that translates to this game.
