What is the best class for Lightforged?

I have a KT war and a DI pally. I am looking for information as to which classes take the most advantage of LF racial.

No classes make particular use of the LFD racial. the AOE you kinda throw in whenever available on any class, and exploding on death isn’t really that useful.

The Wowhead Guide for Protection Paladins lists LFD as the best race, so I’d say Protection Paladin.

priest lightforge i guess

unless you be a healer

paladin with holy racial great recommend :upside_down_face:

For any DPS specs the racial is essentially not worth pressing unless there a very large amount of targets.

A Blackout kick on WW does triple the amount of damage as the racial. Even with WW scaling off Crit/Vers the racial will never be worth using unless you’re forced to be at range from many targets (should never be the case).

Uses;

  • Brewmaster Monk actually scales this ability the highest due to it relying on Crit/Vers and will be worth pressing on this class at 3+ targets and makes LFD the best racial 5+ for brewmaster.

  • Most healer specs still get a decent amount of damage from this on 3+ targets.

  • Mid tier for Blood DK and Protection Paladin past 5 targets. You still are better off as Human/Velf/Dwarf but it’s not bottom of the pack like it is for DpS.

  • Not worth the button press on Protection Warrior.

Summary;
If you want to play a DPS at 70 you can essentially ignore the racial or press it if you are forced to move away from the boss.

Brewmaster and Healer can see good use of this on 3+ Targets.

Blood DK/Protection Paladin are ‘good enough’ with better options .

Ty for all your responses.
Reading that Lights Judgement scales with crit/vers, does the Holy DMG within also stack with classes that use Holy Magic?

It does not scale off of mastery if that’s what you’re asking but ret stacks vers and wants a good deal of crit so you get good use out of it. Prot you can control when your gona pull huge, so you know when to get maximum use out of it.
