My favorite classes felt really fun in MoP. Paladin, warlock, hunter. My brother swears by MoP warrior. Everyone kind of felt overpowered in a good way. It was a perfect blend of classic ability set and modern class design. A peak of class development.
Legion felt a bit like that at the end with legendaries and full artifact. The double projecting divine storm and perma cleave with Divine Hammer felt super fun on ret.
Honorable mention to WoD ret, which was I think the only spec that actually improved from MoP.
Definitely Cata and Mist. With no borrowed power systems, I had to rely on critical thinking more to see which spell to use at certain times. Now I’m only needed for my covenant and not me as a feral Druid. Happy to have a guild that isn’t forcing that upon me.
Shadow definitely felt like Legion was the last time it was fun. I haven’t played it successfully since. I’m also kind of partial to Paladin in Wrath when it was beast, same with DK I like what they did with DK in legion and it’s semi-playable now, but nothing beats when it was a free wrecking machine. Right out of the noob zone and into the 59 bracket was bonkers.
My hunter(not this one) which I’m playing on, has been my main character since early/mid TBC. Prior to then I mostly tanked as a warrior, while my hunter was still in the lower levels.
The most fun I’ve ever had with my hunter was between the end of WotLK, up until the pre-patch for Legion hit. For that entire time, I played as Survival. The theme of being a munitions expert and trapper really clicked with me.
If anything, I can but hope that the devs will eventually return that theme/playstyle as an option for the class, preferably as an addition to the class, not as a replacement to something that we already have.
Legion. Probs because they seriously rethought every class and how to best bring out each spec’s flavour into the abilities.
Enhancement Shamans had rockbiter. Had its flaws, sure, but it was still an earth-based offensive ability. But i guess, as long as they still have earth shield, the full elemental spectrum is covered.
But, tbh, im pretty happy with all the classes I play right now. Especially with Frost DK getting 2H.
Well my Blood DK is fun right now. It’s been fun for a while, but with the Necrolord power, it’s even better.
Jump into an area, ride around, aggro as much as he can, suck 'em all in, and mow 'em down. With that spinny, swirling, mob sucking Necrolord power, it’s even better.
Legion imo. i started it at the end of WoD though but went in BfA and it felt kinda meh. even now it feels kinda meh. it’s not bad it just feels like the same ole same ole imo.
i personally think it felt fun because it was something new to me. after playing it for 6 years straight though yea it kind of dulls down.
Cata-WoD. WoD had some pruning, but overall the classes had the same feel as they did during MoP. There were a couple minor things that bugged me (I didn’t like colossus smash for fury warriors for one thing, and I think there were tweaks that could be made to balance 2h/dw for frost dk) but overall MoP was probably when I had the most fun with how classes played.
2h frost for life! I never want to use a 1h as frost ever again (same with my ww monk). I’m glad that SMF fury is a thing again.
