Spriest or desto/demo lock?

As Void Elf caster dps focus which is more easier to learn/play from 10>80 and from 80>end game without any difficulties and also able to learn mechs for dungeons/delves/raiding but less stress on wrist/arms due to rsi (kinda leaning towards spriest but refusing to play as healer specs only dps) ?

Uh … spriest is by no means straightforward as far as casters go. Both WL specs are more straightforward to play, and will be less of an issue for RSI, than spriest.

Completely agree with this. It’s not really hard or complex there is just too much micromanagement. Many procs and gimmicks to watch for when trying to maximize your damage.

Not a fan. They definitely are not for everyone. If on the other hand you love micromanagement they may be for you

Oh thouht spriest low apm according to latest simultioncraft

Yeah it’s low apm relative to other classes, but because it’s very proc-reactive it doesn’t really turn out to be easy on the wrists and hands.

Balance, by contrast, is probably about the same APM, but is much less “hectic” to manage, and therefore less stressful on the physical side.

Exactly and on top of that you got to wait to use certain abilities for procs to maximize your damage. Like I said I just feel there are too many gimmicks to play around

Some people love that type of micromanagement though

Halo procs are to blame i think :stuck_out_tongue: because its all we got coming from DF

I’d say probably destro, then demo. Affliction isn’t that hard on RSI, either, but most people don’t like the playstyle (it’s a lot of DOT management).

warlock is easier, but you can do the same things with a shadow priest, it just takes longer, and you are a bit more squishy since you can self heal.

A lot more when you factor in they don’t have a voidwalker

well, for a few seconds they can in voidweaver lol

Depends what you want. None of the 3 Warlock specs are overly complicated, nor the effect of the Hero Talents. You can switch between all of them with relative ease and comfort if you are min/maxing. Shadow Priest is most certainly higher, and there is a huge difference between Voidweaver and Archon.

The amount of effort needed to maintain high DPS on an SPriest is much more involved and complicated than any of the lock specs, and even then its output isn’t that great in raids and dungeons comparatively.

Destro is also just… fun.

Problem with spriest is, at any given moment, you probably have four buttons you should press.

And depending on what’s going on, those buttons might have a different priority order at different times.

Devouring plague as a single example can have like four different priority rankings depending on the timing, procs, or insanity bar.
