What's a fun, easy, fast paced melee class to level?

Looking for some recommendations on a fun, easy to learn, yet fast paced class to level up while the xp buff is active. My main is a fury warrior, so I’d like something close to, or similar to that class feel. Preferably melee (I just can’t get into ranged dps).

I will primarily be doing keys with whatever class(es) I pick since it’s the end of the expansion, so a class that does well in keys (the +15-20 range) would be a huge plus.

Any suggestions or thoughts are very welcome!

Survival hunter.

Based on WCL, your choices are Survival, like Radomir said, or Sub/Outlaw, or Windwalker.

eh, if you’ve already got a Fury warrior, everything else is probably just going to feel like “fury, but clunkier.”

I enjoy playing my Assassination rogue, but I don’t think that spec is exactly well-positioned in the meta at the moment. If you are looking for another melee class to play though, rogue should probably be the first go-to.

Or you can try Hunter. BM is basically just a melee spec that doesn’t have to stand in melee, and Survival is fine if you like fishing for bomb procs.

i was gonna say rogue but it feels somewhat weird when you deplete your energy.
instead of a steady pace it’s variable… so im gonna say fury war

Monk. Always monk. M+ is where they shine

Windwalker only Melee DPS spec I actually enjoyed before I became a healer main

Frost death knight

Rogue. Undead like Lilian Voss. 100%

I haven’t played fury in so long but I loved it. It felt sooo good. I was going to recommend Havoc dh but they are making things too complicated for them in the next patch. Instead, I think I will recommend assassination rogue. One of the more enjoyable specs at max level but not the most fun to level. With how fun the single target damage is, I would still recommend this the most, it’s great to have a rogue.

However, since you say leveling only, I would recommend Unholy Death Knight. The mass AOE is so fun! I go with talent build 2222221.

sad assassin noises

Cries in Havoc DH
No they’re just gutting us in everything that’s fun. And nerfing our damage hardcore. And taking away our abilities. And making us waste talent points on things that should be baseline. Oh the list goes on and on…

The sad thing is, the first iterations of the talent tree we’re looking so good.

not melee but play hunter
fun and easy and you can sit at the back of a zerg in bgs and own some nubs too

I was actually considering an assassin rogue, I used to really enjoy them! But as you said, I heard they are not doing well right now in keys, which is terrible since it’s a fun spec to play.

I really hope they fix them next expansion.
I need to look into frost and unholy dks! I don’t see many of them running keys so I wasn’t sure how they’re doing right now

Well now that everyone who commented has given you a different answer. You’re probably worse off than when you started about knowing the answer to this question.

Id say go ret though.

If you like stressed nerves and broken fingers, Fury is the best. Other than warrior, frost dk and havoc are good.
