So here's a genuine question: What specs are fun?

Gonna level another character with all the bonuses still active.

Got:

-lock
-hunter
-paladin

When I go through the forums every spec of every class is apparently broken and horrible… I mean this isn’t unusual for the forums. People who are happy are playing. But it does leave me wondering: What DO people enjoy?

Super objective of course. I love Affliction, a lot of players hate it.
Some only find Melee fun and can’t do ranged, for others it’s vice versa.

But I will say this.
WW Monk is a theme I dislike (martial arts), a role I don’t really care for (melee), locked to 1 DPS spec on the class, and is very rarely the focus of Blizzards attention.

Yet every time I play it, as rarely as that may, I have a blast. That has to say something about the underlying fun factor of the spec.

Stormbringer Enhancement Shaman is probably the most satisfying-feeling spec I’ve ever played in the game to date

It being the best dps currently is just icing

  • Demo Lock

With 50+ alts I play every class, every spec, and different builds. The only things that I dont find fun are healers; Discipline Priest and Holy Paladin are the exception.

Druid has a ton going for it imo. Stealth past mobs for those annoying cave quests, healing spells to protect yourself and clueless NPCs, the only class in the game (currently) that can do all 4 roles, instant “mounting”, herb while flying, dungeon utility (skips, battle rez, soothe), raid utility (mass movement, versatility buff)… they bring quite a lot to the table.

Disc, Holy, BrM, WW, MW, Feral, Unholy, Fire.

I admit fire intrigues me, as I played it in past expansions but all I hear about it in War Within is it’s very, very hard.

Mandatory “define fun”, but since you have magical and physical distance and… whatever SHINY LIGHT, Shaman might be for you.

Enh is incredible - when RNG is with you GRRRRr, so is Elem - RNGGGgGGgGgg, it’s been years since I last played resto but I loved it, and so much less RNG.

I’d say Mage is a worse Lock and War is a dull Pal but to each their own, they have their charms.

Druid would let you play the 4 roles, but it lacks a bit of personality in each, though the whole class fantasy is very powerful and wide, with several zones attuned to it. And you don’t have to worry much for you mogs…

Not a big fan of the monk’s aesthetic but I really like WW.

Restoration is fun

Froost mage rn

Discipline Priest, man when you get in the zone, super awesome fun healing on a Disc Priest!

Holy Priest was crazy fun in MoP, in PvP anyway.

I also enjoyed healing on a Resto Druid and Shaman.

Protection Paladin is the Swiss Army Knife of toons, love knocking out group stuff on my can of light.

Recently started DPSing a lot more, and Ret is just a Prot Paladin that’s got bigger guns and slightly less armor.

BM Hunter is fun in Delves.

Demo is fun in Delves,

Enhance, windwalker, shadow, and ret are all pretty fun imo.

Okay, you first, you define fun first lol. Good luck.

Fun is all in the eye of the beholder.

Imo universally fun specs are ones that are enjoyable no matter what you’re doing.
Frost mage is great cus mage is great, amazing mobility and CC.
Arms to me is great cus it’s been my PvP class/spec for 15 years and I ping ponging around slapping the enemy team up with mortal strike.

Druid in general is another fun one imo. Hot healer with cat weaving makes it very active. Boomkin is a bit brain dead, but the whole mass AoE thing as one of those creatures from where the wild things are can get addicting.

That’s 30% of the healers. .

Enhancement Shaman.

I have to echo enhancement.

Which makes me so confused enhance is getting the drastic remake it is for 11.1. Gameplay for enhance is great.

in no particular order, my favorites in terms just minute to minute gameplay fun and aesthetics:

Devastation Evoker (I’MA FIRIN MAH LASER, the Class…with Drive-Bys if you play Scalecommander)
All three Warlock Specs (3 totally different specs that are fun in their own ways)
all three Death Knight specs (same as Warlock)
Both Demon Hunter specs (interesting lore/class fantasy, great aesthetics, smooth gameplay)
Ret Paladin (great aesthetics, melee/ranged hybrid gameplay)

those are my current favorites in terms of pure fun.

I like the IDEA of Druid as a shapeshifter, but I just don’t vibe with the Nature class fantasy.

If you want to kind of fall asleep while you play you could try Havoc DH. It’s kind of easy to get into basically, and easy can be fun at times.
