None tbh, i find them all the same.

Except DH Havoc is actually the easiest while being really competitive.

“My class is the hardest and has the highest skill cap of all time. The rest are faceroll specs catered by blizz”

There, I gave you the answer 99% of the players will give.

Most difficult class for me to play is Warrior. I last tried to play one when I started playing in Classic, And I was terrible. I tried to tank Deadmines back then, And kept causing the group to wipe.

Since then, I pretty much won’t go anywhere near a class that involves tanking. I prefer DPS classes to play as I find those much simpler to play.

Affliction lock rotation is pretty complicated from what I remember.

Aff suffers a lot because it takes like 8 globals to get started. GCD really makes that class bleh. Same with udk on opener.

Nah aff is super easy just incredibly boring. Demo is the hardest of the three but all three specs are like second nature to me.

For me its probably rogue. The only class ive NEVER played seriously

I think Shadow Priest is still supposed to be reasonably difficult, especially when maximising uptime during Void Form while still performing the mechanics.

I guess it also depends on what you are good at, and what you are familiar with.
People who are good with spammy rotations might find Fury Warrior / Enhance Shammy pretty easy to play. But if you are used to me slower methodical classes you might find it difficult to make the optimal choice every time.

I think all casters with limited mobility ie Demo Lock can be difficult to maximise and not waste damage during movement.

I’d say Demonology Warlock. Gotta play with the clock, missing a second ruins your DPS output completely, horribly, with no way to repair it.

Hmm, it’s been a bit since I’ve done affliction. Demonology can get a bit tricky to maximize dps with imp explosion and such but once you get the rhythm it’s pretty repetitive.

Lock imo but that’s just me :upside_down_face:

You can do some neat demonology tricks with hand of gul’dan, summon demonic tyrant, and imp explosion if you time them right. Get the benefit of all the imps for your tyrant and still explode them all.

Affliction takes a lot of attention and know how. You gotta be super focused to do good damage. I used to be afflicted but didn’t care enough to be a tryhard dps. I switched to destro like 2 weeks ago and increased my dps by like 5k without putting in any more effort

Haha you think so? I would think destro or aff takes the repetitive cake. Demo has a lot of cds and procs that line up well with certain mechanics.
