So looking into this and deciding as Dracthyr which will have easier time getting to 80 and also able to do t8 delves and other stuff easy (also can counter caster/hunters?)
Next week Arms going to be up there due to new changes and also shadow as well
Current APM chart from the only SIM that has one (https://www.simulationcraft.org/reports/TWW1_Raid.html). Looks like Arms is at 58 and SP is at 52/51 depending on spec.

So Arm’s would be easier ?
Nah. Based on the SIM results, on Arms you essentially have to use every GCD to maximize DPS, where shadow priest is slower and doesn’t. Which, in theory, makes SP easier because you have longer pauses to setup for your next spell.
But really, the gap isn’t big enough to make that much of a difference.
However, it becomes noticeable when start trying to keep the fury rotation up with 68 APM. I know I have a hard time doing it for long periods.
So Shadow Priest ?
The data’s right there and you’ve had it explained to you already.

Based solely on APM, sure. But there is a lot of nuance in decisions like that…like ranged vs. melee playstyle, survivability, and utility. So it really depends on what you are looking for.
Beast mastery hunter, lesgooo
In no world is Spriest easier than Arms Warrior.
If you’re picking classes based on how easy they are, you’re playing Holy Priest if you wanna heal, Bear Druid if you wanna tank and BM Hunter if you want to DPS.

i do want survival though and safer gameplay (able to do t8 delves) and can survive gankfests
You could go prot temporarily for the delves. They are easier on tanks

Don’t know about PVP, but from what I’ve seen, melee always has an easier time in Delves…
And I guess tanks, which warrior can also do
Not fan of tanking and never will wanna tank (due to anxiety/panic attacks and recent toxicty agianst healer/tanks)
But in delves you wouldnt be “tanking”…You would just be in tank spec for the delve to increase survivability.
last one sitting at 3 apm? wth lol

API is broken from what i read
SIMs don’t use API for their actual calculations. Only to pull gear/spec info.
Most even use imaginary patchwork bosses for single target.
Arm’s getting major buffed next week and same for SP i am also deciding as well i do have 80 610 lock but kinda feel bored but also want easier time countering gankers (in open world) i know spriest will have difficult time?
