So, I’ve only played Veng on this guy. Veng is, imo, the most fun tank. The mobility, damage, and self sustain are great. I honestly have the most fun with this guy tanking.
However, I’ve never played havoc with this character. I’m looking for a well rounded character. I’d like to do m+, but also have a character I can PvP with and what not. From what I’ve read, havoc isn’t in the best spot. Some complain it’s boring or too simplistic.
How is havoc? Only hours to choose a main. If all I was going to play was mythic + as a tank, I’d definitely take this guy. A ton of fun. But since I have other considerations what is recommended?
Considering monk, druid, pally as well.
Just one reason for Havoc: glaives of Azzinoth.
Havoc is i think 6 buttons in all to play.
Very spammy. Up to you if you enjoy it. Vengeance is way more fun to me though.
Yea, vengeance is a lot of fun. I just don’t see it being terribly fun in PvP but I haven’t actually tried it.
There’s some merit to staying vengeance for PvP. Solid flag/orb carriers, solo node defenders, frontline team disrupters, un-soloable in WPvP. Just don’t bring it into arena.
It’s pretty safe to say that buffs will be coming to havoc if it’s really as bad as people say, so just enjoy vengeance in the meantime and wait for inevitable class retuning that comes with the early stages of a new expansion.
Heres the thing. This is pre-patch. During pre-patch numbers are all sorts of crazy. Back in the WoD pre-patch they nerfed hunters so hard i went from the top DPS consistantly in a competitive guild to barely beating the tanks. Worst month of raiding in my life. BUT…Once the expansion drops, a week or two will go by and a big tuning pass will happen. Trust me on this. DH’s at that point are bound to get some love because it’s pretty obvious they are among the underliers at this point. I’d personally say stick with vengeance and keep having a blast because mechanically vengeance is a ton of fun just to even move around the world with. Gliding, near unlimited leaps, its a blast. Thats what im doing so thats my advice. If you are having second thoughts though, nows the time to bail!!!
I agree with you there. I think Vengeance is just the most fun to play. Sure, there isn’t as many buttons as some, but it seems to make up for it with the movement and sigils. I also really enjoy the self sustain…
Havoc will still be a solid, very solid spec for mythic plus. Don’t let anyone tell you otherwise. Their mechanics of nasty burst AoE still exists, darkness still exists, chaos brand exists, aoe stun along with another cc, and ranged interrupts with highly mobile damage…yeah.
Numbers will be tweaked during the first raid, I’ll eat a sock on stream of Havoc isn’t above average for mythic plus this expansion.
I have heard this from many players, that the spec is still strong, but not so forgiving.
Talk to the ones that are staying with it, not just the ones bailing.
How is havoc PvP wise? I’ve actually never played it. Is it as simple as some claim?
Vengeance in pvp is so much fun, if you like cc, fast caps, impossible to kill if played properly, annoying people then vengance is perfect for pvp. Vengeance is the only reason I even still play dh. Added all together vengeance can do around 20 seconds of cc ( last time i tested anyways), just a super fun spec to run around and cap flags with.

Isn’t Illidan’s Grasp still bugged though, where you can’t do the throw part of it anymore? If that’s intended, I’d like for them to at least remove that part from the tooltip for clarity…
I don’t remember it being bugged, but don’t think so.
