Rogue is my vote since they have 3 dps specs.

If you’re looking to only dps then definitely rogue.

If they nerf ww and all you wanted to do was dps well then you’re kind of forked aren’t you?

WW is fantastic right now. Great mobility, more uptime on fights because of it, and insane DPS. I’d argue that WW is the best raiding melee DPS right now.

God only knows what Blizzard will do to classes tomorrow, but for now, WW is a great choice.

2 DPS specs**

No one is sure what Assassin Rogues are supposed to be anymore.

No casters.

I’d be outlaw.

???

Very good point.

I played a WW in Legion and it was fantastic. It’d be nice to ride that feeling again but you’re right…for how long…

Which is sad I used to LOVE sin rogues. They really killed them…

Monk is one of the top MDPS right now.

Isn’t monks big issue they scale really poorly? So while they are great now, as we get more and more gear they will start falling behind while others just go up. Something to keep in mind

When in doubt hybrid out

I second this. As a Monk, you may be encouraged to learn to tank or heal. If you’re fine with that, then by all means, go with the Monk.

However, if you’re NOT fine with that, then avoid it all together and stick to a class that cannot tank or heal with any reasonable expectation…

Well, it sure isn’t tanking or healing. While the numbers may not be uber, Assassins still work better as DPS than taking hits or helping others recover from them.

Well, they were pretty good in season 4 bfa for m+ so I wouldn’t count them out the whole expansion lol

Yes, specfically WW’s best stat is versatility and mastery, and were hitting our soft caps on CN already. Everyone will out scale the WW once haste starts getting heavier. WW recieves almost no benifit from using haste. WWs main issue is that the stats do nothing for any of the spells, and their simply not going to get that much better.

Id argue WW needs to be reworked not because its OP or bad, its just not balanced well and its always all over the place. 1 month is too good, 1 month its useless, another month its back to being good. it never ends with WW. When this expansion launched WW was laughed at, and here we are, saying its the best melee dps (I laugh at this sentiment.)
