Best:
Shadow. Voidweaver in particular
Enhancement except for Ascendance
Arcane

Worst:
Ret paladins. Yellow clown hammers, really?
Arms
Survival, but this one is mostly on Blizzard having spears use staff animations. Special mention to throwing bombs at your own feet though.

Arcane is best period, following with shadow

Couldn’t have said it better myself

It is and it’s just unfortunate that they nerfed arcane orb visuals for everyone but the player.

Not putting too much thought into it but

Unholy Dk–especially the big minion with his guts hanging out. Yes I like the giant festering diaper baby.

Enhance Shaman–I also like the sound effects,
and the plop of the totems on the ground.
*special mention of pvp Burrow talent.

Fury Warrior–whirlwind effects are fun, sound effects too.

I agree with that best and worst.

I would have WW Monk in my honorable mention for the best. They look pretty cool when they’re going off.

thanks guys. Amazed on the results

Worst is sub rogue always. Very little spell animations and the ones it has are very ugly and look like they come from wrath or cata.

Best? Arcane mage spells are really pretty. MW/Presvoker is pretty good too.

11

Started gearing my BM hunter.

God damn zoo of visual clutter now. Things flying around, beast popping up and charging…

Add in Brann, his pet and all the other over whelming graphics and it’s a big guess as to what’s going on.

I guess I am a outlier here:
Best

  1. Arms Warrior (it just feels impactful even if it is kinda low but I am having fun)
  2. Fire Mage (I digging the sunfury aesthetics)
  3. Ret Pally (it just so easy to master)

Worst

  1. Combat Rogue (too hard to master)
  2. Feral Druid (maybe it’s my item level but I don’t think I know how it works to be effective)
  3. Windwalker Monk (hard to manage energy)
13

please keep sharing opinions

Favourites:
Balance Druid (literal Stars and moon)

Master of Harmony Brewmaster/Mistweaver. Jade wings are PEAK.

Dark Ranger. The wings and the scream on throwing out black arrows :ok_hand:.

Could be improved:
Druid of the claw Feral and Guardian. Cool damage but the whole shtick is a swipe, that’s it. Makes sense but looks lame.

Soul harvester warlock. Doesn’t look like anything.

Frost mage (the arcane hero talent)

15

Balance druid could make some improvements if wrath doesnt look so silly

I know, I really wish Paladin’s had less hammer imagery. From TBC onwards they really started pushing for the “Green Lantern” fantasy for pallies, first with avengers shield, then divine storm and so on and so forth. The only spec safe from it is Holy that still uses the Light as raw magic.
