I have nerve damage in my left arm and it hurts to play anything that needs high intensity of key mashing. I quit raiding because of it years ago but I want that red mythic mount. What class/spec should I switch to because Shadow hurts to play.
Arms war has a slower more calculated rotation. Rogues also have downtime in spots.
Eh, probably anything ranged. Anything that lets you do damage without requiring mobility. So, Arcane mage, Destro Warlock, hunters. Destro might be an issue for you, because you have to drag and drop your AoE abilities.
But, if shadow hurts, I donât really know what your best options would be.

Spoken like someone who has never experienced real long term pain, especially hand pain.
The answer is none. Itâs none. Iâve played them all, they all hurt my hand. Warrior the most matter of fact.

If you play heals you can set up the vuhdo addon to cast most of your spells with your mouse. On my resto shaman I only use my left hand for strafing and modifier keys most of the time with the occasional dps rotation thrown in during down time.
I eee arcane mages that focus crit mastery do 18k on aoe with only 2 buttins. Arcane orb then spam arcane explosion. They will be slated to be the highest single tsrget in the next season
As a fellow pain haver, do you mess with pvp at all? I want a few transmog sets but itâs pretty unbearable after a few games.
If I can make any recommendation, it would be to get a 12 button mouse (if you are right handed) so you can put as many commonly-used spells on your right hand as possible.

I have one but itâs not something I can easily do. I have poor motor skills with my right hand.
Marks hunter. Aimed shot is a 2+ second cast and by god youâre gonna be casting a lot of aimed shots.
edit because Rita also made me think of this: Haste isnât a useful stat for MM.
Another recommendation is to favor every other secondary over haste, regardless of the spec you are playing. That way, your GDC is longer, you donât have to press as often do good damage.
On my bear I macrod my entire basic rotation to one button on my logitech MMO mouse. Doesnât get any simpler than that. I call him One Button Bear. Itâs hilarious because it works.

Windwalker Monk when talented into all passives is probably the slowest but in general SL is a much higher APM than say TBC or Wotlk so itâs still going to wear your nerves out after a couple of hours.
Spoken like someone who makes blanket assumptions about people they know nothing about just to flex on the poor me train.
But yea, Iâm sure your âdonât play the game at allâ advice is more productive for the opâŠ

The issue with Windwalker is they have a really short GCD no matter how little haste you have.
The i e that buts a boost. Then you dont even need to do anything if you dont want
At least i assume. Idrk ive never boosted
Gonna be a weird throw but holy priest. I play with everything keybound to a 16 button mouse. My left arm only does wasd for movement and the odd 1-3 for certian macros.
I read this after posting. tbh if both your arms are messed up you probably cant make 3k without being carried.
As mentioned, specialized mice are a things, maybe that would be a good option for yous!
For a more calminâ location, I recommends Arcane Mage. Their rotations isâŠtwo buttons? Ands whatever you chose for your covenant abilities. Itâs a bit less frantics than, says, Fury Warriahs.
binding spells to your mouse and mouseover macros will help you tremendously. I broke my finger a few years ago and learned to put my entire rotation on my mouse buttons and though it took some adjustment, turned out to be the least stressful on my hands.
Classes with the easiest rotations are Demon Hunter, BM hunter, Arcane mage and to some degree windwalker monk. For healers, Holy priest, I can put 6 spells on my mouse, 2 mouseovers and im good.
