Trying to Change Mains

I’d like to find a new class for 8.2, but am having trouble narrowing down the one that checks all my boxes.

  1. I want a class that can RDPS
  2. I want that RDPS to have lots of group support abilities (healing, unique utility, etc.)
  3. I want that RDPS to have a varied rotation/priority system

Can you guys help me narrow that down?

Boomkin is the only one i can think of. Even if you go another spec, with the talent row that gives you healing abilities, you can do both, plus have utility with the Azerite traits.

What about a disc priest.

Do you want to be one of the more powerful classes and put up great numbers? If so then you want to be a Warlock as they will always have one of their specs in the top 3 or so.

If you want right now then either Lock, Shadow Priest, Ele Shammy or Boomkin.

If you are talking pvp then I am not sure as I don’t really pvp. Boomkin (and I believe ele shammy) have self heals. I know leveling my Boomkin alt I have 2 forms to heal. One that is instant and another you cast on yourself or others. Druid also has all 4 specs (tank, healer, rdb, melee). Lock is pure dps.

Not sure what you mean by varied rotation/priority as I assume all classes have their own set rotations.

I haven’t leveled my Shadow priest since level 90 so not sure how the leveling goes for them.

So Boomie looks like a good option! I’m just concerned it’s a little simple? Anyone want to change my mind on that?

Elemental Shaman and Boomkin are the two best on that front. Nothing else can really check all those boxes.

I change mains every week in BFA.

I wanted a main too, but class design is so boring I just keep swapping.

Im on a 2 week rotation.

Like most others have stated, Moonkin really fits your request. Solid class all around.

There is actually a good amount of small nuance in boomkin, once you get the right azerite traits. You need to keep alternating your spell casts to proc streaking stars, as well as monitoring arcanic pulsar stacks and pooling resources for when you get your free incarnation. Going starlord with a cancelaura macro adds even more to the spec.

Easy class to learn, but there are definitely things you can do to separate yourself from the mean.

I’m concerned that Boomy just has a ton of spells that don’t feel super hard-hitting. Do you find this to be the case?

Yea I suppose so, although it isn’t something I really think about too often. Starsurge hits like a truck, but outside of that the rest of the kit is there to build up for starsurges.

A hunter concerned about a moonkin being simple? Is this real life?

Lol this is how I’m feeling as well. I have a server dedicated to my army of alts right now… so many…

I would say shadow priest, I’m having quite a bit of fun in mine these days.

Disc priest isn’t a ranged dps, it’s a healer, and an extremely nerfed healer at that.

So are you saying disc priest is melee lol
