So many buttons compared to retail!

Try playing a warrior. I can’t fit all the ways to hit someone with my sword onto the action bars.

No, really. I use my whole kit all the time.

Try playing a healer with all the down ranking and various spells. On this druid I will have 3 or 4 various down ranks of healing touch , 2 ranks of regrowth bound, rejuvenation, cure poison , abolish poison , de-curse, insect swarm, roots, faerie fire, hibernate, soothe . Holy priest has even more.

If someone is playing their class only using one or two abilities, they are playing it wrong.

Run a spyware just in case.

Or they may be playing hunter

Of course they are. The OP is obviously trolling.

Hey now, we have at LEAST 3 buttons to push. Autoattack, aimed shot, and Multishot, which we need to weave into normal shots or we miss one entirely. We also need keys to send and recall pet…so 5. Feign Death…so, 6…at least 3 of our 4 traps…so 9…if its a dungeon boss, serpent sting, 10…

We have a lot of buttons, its just the bad hunters who only use 2.

Here’s my mage at level 11.

  1. Frostbolt - for the slow
  2. Fireball - does more damage
  3. Fireblast - it’s instant

Now after this is can go either way.

Mana-Inefficient
4. Arcane Missiles - I love this spell

Save Mana
4. Fireball

Save Mana and they are low health
4. Frostbolt

5th Step depends if they are not dead yet.

Hurry up and die
5. Fireball

Almost dead
6. Frostbolt - saves mana

Where is my wand? Wand will get thrown in at any time to save mana. So I can’t say I always wand is 7th, 8th, 9th, 10th, ect. And sometimes wanding might be the 3rd or 4th step instead.

I purposely left out when I sheep and frost nova.

And the OP is trolling. I don’t even know why I’m replying to the obvious troll post.

At 33 my warrior is basically:

Charge

Battleshout if not up

Rend

/cry as rend does 15 dmg per tick vs auto attack doing 150

Hamstring if its a mob type that runs

Overpower if a dodge happens (replace an auto with an auto basically). Also /cry when OP misses.

Based on amount of rage and mob health, maybe heroic strike.

Execute…maybe, if i dont want to save rage or just want to do it because its awesome.

So, 80% of my damage is auto attack…

2 targets is kinda fun with sweeping strikes and cleave, but sad cleave (like heroic strike) are not standalone attacks but augment an auto.

Should get better at 40 with WW and either MS or BT.

legit question… wtf? how can fireball & hurry be in the same list? it’s so freaking long of a cast!

then later on… frost damage bonus with talents & gear

Eh, I’m comfortable admitting that retail’s single target rotations with a tank already keeping aggro are a lot more interesting.

General open-world survival? You’re gonna need a lot more to control the field and stay alive. PVP? You’ll need a good chunk of your spellbook.

Powershifting on a feral durid can be pretty fun.

Because Fireball does more damage than Frostbolt.

If I think I can cast 1 last Frostbolt and they die, than I use Frostbolt. If it looks like Frostbolt won’t kill them but Fireball will, then I use Fireball.

I may play fire spec but it doesn’t mean I won’t use my frost and arcane spells. It entirely depends on the situation and which spell I think will finish them off.

I never tried full frost before. I’ve always had Fire Blast and Dragon’s Breathe. Which you can see is BC & WOTLK because I had a Blood Elf and Dragon’s Breathe isn’t in Vanilla.

Hate to break it to ya. As a warlock in raids its pretty much shadowbolt and the odd shadowburn thrown in for optimal dps. If you are doing more than that im afraid you’re the one thats “doing it wrong”

So far I am doing this:
Send Voidwalker
Corruption
Curse of Agony
Immolate
Wand
Drain Soul

Afterwards: Life Tap x5
Eat my stone

Make new stone.

Or they’re playing a mage, hunter, warlock (basically), rogue (3 buttons if your hit is high enough).
