i cant play warrior and im not even old. the buttons arent a problem but its the camera angle and tunnel vision

I am literally in the process of killing off all my melee classes (fav being Paladin) and will only keep a Void Elf Hunter and Blood Elf Mage. Can’t take the hand pain of melee and being 50 years old now, have limited time with all the 500 events. So, I am keeping one toon on each faction.

melee is hard asf for me now, ever since i swapped to rdruid for two seasons i cannot play melee to the same extet i did years ago

Sub and outlaw are too much effort for me now. I can’t be bothered dancing to get saps off/tracking when enemy leaves combat from cc chains and min maxing all of outlaws roll buffs and shadowstep kicking and gouging as a kick and cheap shotting nonstop :yawning_face: assas is fine, but sub just has way too many cds that do things and i’d feel awful to play it in pvp and not use its full kit

It’s more a mental and lack of time thing than physical lol, too much sweat min maxing for the amount of payout doing so. I don’t want to play a spec if i’m not learning 100% of its ins and outs and life priorities have just changed with the years :joy: sub pvp just has too much going on
Pally i’ve played since wotlk so its like a fraction of the effort when they change something with it

I understand that completely. But physical limitations for WoW, no.

I’m insulted that I have an answer for this question. Rogue and feral druid.

Nothing due to age… yet.

I can feel the RSI in my mouse wrist though… Not enough to affect gameplay, but it’s inevitable.

Haven’t cracked 50, but I’m not far away.

I’m slowly phasing out of everything but Warlock. Irony being that for the past 20 years, I hated the idea of being a ranged; now, I can’t really see myself playing any other class.

But to be more on brand: Death Knight dps. Can. Not. Do it.

I’m 55, my hands have taken a beating.

I suffer somedays, have done for years, I play all roles cus I’m addicted.

I have some gel for the pain if it gets really bad, but mostly I tough it out, so my cat doesn’t think I’m a cat.

Funny, I feel worse as i age due to injuries related to sports. Exercise, while important, isn’t a cure all xD

I’m in my 70’s and the things that are difficult are things that have always been difficult, just more so now. Classes that require a lot of concentration because the rotation is situationally based are not for me. The same with jumping puzzles and miseries along those lines.

Physically, I’m doing fine as I’ve always taken care of my ergonomics and just not overdoing things.

Yes it is.

I could probably play anything, but avoiding stuff like Fury because i prefer more chill classes.

I want to do melee specs but I just get lost in raids and say nope, not today.

Despite maining warrior since … ever, I too am finding it difficult to play melee these days. It’s not entirely due to age - though I think once I passed 50 something did change in my eyes and possibly even my brain (lol). It’s more due to changes in the game combined with the age thing. Especially on melee, there’s just so much stuff in the way. I can lose track of my own character sometimes.
