Spec you dislike and why?

This is how I view it:

Frost is a nice cruiser car. Easy to start out, tough to master, fun to drive.

Arcane is like a subaru to me: Good car, but I feel like I need a specialty mechanic anytime I get confused.

Fire is what a Fortnite kid thinks driving is so they designed a car like that. You get in and nothing is practical. Nothing is intuitive. It’s as if it was designed by someone who never even driven before.

BM hunter and MM hunter. I loved Mm hunter in BFA and prior that but since it became good fps in SL I didn’t like it. Simply the fact that people who didn’t like it before played it in SL.

And BM I don’t like at all. Simplest class to play by far. 100% utility, you need 2 buttons plus third every 30-ish seconds. And on top of that they’re always good

Rogue. Dirtiest pvp spec in existence.

They are the types of fighters that throw dirt in your face. Bite your ears off.

Delete them.

That’s how people are supposed to fight. If you start something, expect to drag your dead leg all the way home with no ears.

All mage specs. - Snooze.

Survival hunter - it’s a missed opportunity.

All the slow classes. - Warlocks, DKs, Shadow priest. I want to mash a few buttons furiously like an absolute madman but ramp up is just boring to me.

Incidentally, I think fury warrior needs to be sped up, make it the fastest playing carpel tunneliest spec in the game for people who want that.

Outlaw rogue, I don’t like the whole rng roll the bones pirate rogue thing. I like combat.

Probably Shadow Priest. I hate playing it for some reason and I don’t even know why

Look at this Trogg sympathizer. We all see you for what you are Troglodyte.

Yes, this right here: for me, Shadow is just simply un-fun in its current incarnation.

Yes, I mourn combat rogue every time I think about logging into a rogue. I like the idea of this type of pirate archetype, but not as replacement for combat (and maybe not as a rogue, period).

Not mentioned so far, but I also just haven’t enjoyed prot warrior since the changes in Legion. I don’t really know why, but I just haven’t enjoyed it the last 3 expansions when I played it and liked it since vanilla… :shield: :broken_heart:

I’m with you on this. When stealth is necessary for progress, wow gives everyone playing said scenario a way to stealth. To add to my issues with Rogue, I am not a patient player. I don’t like waiting for the ‘right’ moment like what seems necessary with stealth.

the list of what i like is just shorter, lol

  • BM hunter. Not because I want to like it, but because MM cant have nice things.
  • Resto druid. nuff said
  • Resto shaman. great running solo. interrupt is off the hook. easy to heal with.
  • BM Monk. Best tank in the game.
  • DestroLock. with Shadowburn this this is a killing machine.

Well now I like all three rogue specs, because they’re actually good at the one thing they’re supposed to be good at, and now I like Disc Priest because I started using mouseover macros on that character. I guess shadow priest is also my least favorite. Too many buttons, too complicated rotation, too many active talents that are powerful. I’m sure some enjoy it but it’s definitely not for me.

Shadow Priest, for sure. I’m not sure what it’s supposed to do, really. As a DPS it’s completely eclipsed by just about every other caster, it offers very low raid/group utility, it’s rotation is extremely GCD-bloated, and to top it all off any transmogs you want for the spec will be ruined by that weird black glow that exists even after you glyph to dim it.

I dislike how they made deathbolt your only viable choice on affliction.

I LOVED affliction in legion. But then having shadowbolt and deathbolt become a thing in bfa and I assume now made that spec garbage to me.

It’s the death knight in me. I want to just go in there and smash some heads take some gold and move on.

Not sap, giggle like a little gnome, and prance away with cheap shot

Elemental feels too much like a slot machine to me. I don’t like it. I hope it finds a different model in 10.0.

Considering I’m trying to play Discipline Priest, and failing because of Shadow, this is too dang true. The spec feels like it doesn’t know what it wants to do.

  • Why does Void Torrent do so much damage?
  • Why is Void Explosion a thing a with 4s CD Void Bolt?
  • Why are there two dots to manage on top of a weird rotation?
  • Why have a channeled bottom line filler?
  • Why try to fix that filler by giving procs that allow abilities to be cast in it with a GCD proc?

It’s such a weird spec. The strangest I’ve played to date. Makes me want to quit Discipline completely.

Priest.

Because I am not a good priest player.

I tend to dislike any specs that revolve around long casting times; Elemental, Destro, Marks are the ones that come to mind rn. Don’t like having to wait around for too long to actually have an impact. Plus it makes more trivial encounters more tedious.

TBH, too, I find Fury pretty boring…I know most people love it, but I’ll be an arms stan for life lol.

Destruction warlock, rotation is insanely primitive and just not fun, sure you can spec into more buttons but the majority of your rotation is spam incinerate to build meter and then spend on chaos bolt.

Its insanely boring.

I enjoy the other 2 specs much more, especially demo when u spec into more buttons.
