What is the actual 2 button class?

[Snozex-area-52]

@Padgarre-lightbringer

That’s not the most efficient way. I just use two abilities: Fire and flame shield.

You enjoy being inefficient or trolling.

[Peppermint-eldrethalas (Peppermint)]

Maybe Elemental shaman is the real two button spec. Sometimes it feels like it’s 85% just hitting Lava Burst procs over and over and over.

@Dreadtendies-sargeras

Havoc is unironically one of the hardest specs to play right now

It’s harder than it has been because of inertia. But you’d be lying if you think it’s one of the hardest specs to play.

[Allendor-hyjal]

3 buttons is the minimum for any spec. BM hunter has the most functional rotation while only hitting 3 buttons. Ret is close behind with 4. Hammer of Wrath is used a lot, so I say 4.

[Stabmcstabby-aegwynn]

Devastation is up there. BM definitely, and hmm, let’s see, dh too.

BM has a reputation for being easy to play and while it is, you still need to track the Barbed Shot/Frenzy buff/debuff for close to 100 per cent uptime or your DPS craters.

One of the top BM hunter theorycrafters has said this tier of BM is the most braindead it’s ever been. If you have barbed shot fall off that’s a skill issue.

@Grimmantle-thrall

Same goes for Retribution. Don’t manage your HoPo well during Execution Sentence and you lose out on a lot of DPS, especially on bosses that have vulnerable stages.

Ret is easily the easiest melee to play right now

@Grimmantle-thrall

Having said that, there are quite a few specs that don’t involve tracking buffs/debuffs, are still easy to play, and don’t suffer too much from button bloat. I think Fury’s one of them. Maybe Destruction, too.

You really should learn about what you’re talking about before you comment.

[Dreadtendies-sargeras]

I’d easily say Inertia pushes it into the territory of being one of the hardest DPS specs to play right now.

Rotationally it’s not bad, but your rotation actively forcing you to move makes it far more challenging to play in content that can actively punish you for being out of position.

I genuinely cannot name three DPS specs that are harder. I’d give it to Arcane and MAYBE Outlaw, but that’s it.

@Dreadtendies-sargeras

I’d easily say Inertia pushes it into the territory of being one of the hardest DPS specs to play right now.

I’d disagree.

It may be harder than an average melee but I still think 10.0 arcane and 10.1 demo were way worse.

@Dreadtendies-sargeras

I genuinely cannot name three DPS specs that are harder. I’d give it to Arcane and MAYBE Outlaw, but that’s it.

Sub has a lot of micro management too from my understanding

I just don’t see where one talent makes it from one of the easiest specs to one of the hardest.

I will agree that inertia isn’t a braindead easy spec to play though.

[Tharna-frostmourne (Tharna)]

if you’re mashing judgement as it comes up after using divine toll you’re liable to stack 2 judgements before you get your spender off, dps loss.
wake will come off cd before execution sentence, another dps loss for getting it wrong
if you’re using crusading strikes and you’re about to hit the 2nd auto at 3hp you don’t want to use judgement until after you hit the spender because it’s another dps loss.
there are bosses where due to the size of their hit box it actually slightly alters the timing of judgement because of the travel.
Ret’s easy to learn, but if you want to be optimal there’s a lot you can stuff up.

[Liolang-daggerspine]

@Caprisunny-moon-guard

inb4 people say BM hunter

that would have been my response, but I dont think BM would be much fun only using two abilities. lol

are there ANY specs that ony have two that are necessary to get really good damage?

[Westwestt-illidan]

Also bloodshed/multishot, death chakram, barbed shot, kill shot

[Phoenix-fizzcrank]

Some people argue you can play guardian by hitting your W key, and pressing thrash and swipe.

[Westwestt-illidan]

Frenzy tracking is not a thing currently, you just send barbed shot on cd.

[Sentif-arathor]

Enjoy the battery life. Mine didn’t fair too well.

[Uncleruckus-darkspear]

@Phoenix-fizzcrank

Some people argue you can play guardian by hitting your W key

Lol, you can and I have. W Bear is a thing.

[Faerel-stormrage]

Ppl who say DH is 2 buttons is an idiot.
Havoc is not even remotely close to what it was in bfa

[Takfel-arathor]

Plunderstorm is the easiest class to play on Steamdeck.

@Tharna-frostmourne

if you’re mashing judgement as it comes up after using divine toll you’re liable to stack 2 judgements before you get your spender off, dps loss.

Yes, I know you can optimize the rotation for best outcome. The point was that the dps loss is minimal. Not spreading Judgements in an AoE scenario isn’t going to suddenly cause you to lose out on 25% of your DPS though.

[Grimmantle-thrall (Grimmantle)]

No, I have more fulfilling things to do with my life. But you do you.

[Grizzle-eredar]

@Grimmantle-thrall

Then you really shouldn’t be speaking on matters that you know not of. Not being rude, but saying “i’m too busy to learn the subject i’m attempting to inform people on” is not the correct take…
