Shadow Priest. Without Traits or Essences they play extremely poorly. They have ever since Voidform was introduced. It’s not just numbers, it how the spec plays that matters.
I’m playing ele in mythic prog and let me tell you
Shadow Priest 100%
Void Form is just such a parasitic mechanic that it hurts all the enjoyment of the spec and locks you into very specific talents, eliminating any real choice.
The other spec I worry about is Survival Hunter. I really enjoy the melee-hunter spec and it’s by far the most fun hunter specialization out there. That said, it’s missing some pieces so to speak. You end up locked in sort of a 3 button cycle and a 2 minute CD - some azerite traits make it more interesting, but it needs work. I disagree with those who want Survival to return to a ranged class - it was a boring version of Marksman back in the day. We don’t need that again.
Not to mention more durable. There is stuff I’ll jump headfirst into as a Boomkin. My Shaman goes “Am I using a shield? Then maybe.”
Warlocks…
I play all the classes (no main, no alts, only characters at whim), single specs, and this arcane mage is the only one I find is a pain to play as opposed to challenging (which is what I enjoy) because she needs a snack every time she fight one mob and dies every time she fights two. Hence, why she is presently my forum avatar. (If I ever figure out a way to make her fun again, I will be creating a character solely to act as my avatar.)
I have one of every class at max level, plus an extra rogue, only DPS specs.
Sub rogue and Spriest need the most work, considering changes I’ve already since coming for other classes.
Thematically, they have flavor, but mechanically they are boring.
Shadow Priest, and I loved SP in MoP, how I miss it.
Shamans. They’re garbage. They should honestly just delete them already.
oh god, MY EYES
That’s the issue too often with many classes, especially when things break down. Good theme … questionable mechanics.
That’s how I feel about warlock. Thematically solid, mechanically not very fun…
So summarize community’s opinion from what I’ve read:
- Enhancements Shaman
- Shadow Priest
- Affliction Warlock
are the classes that need love the most.
And slightly less
- Arcane Mage/Feral Druid
Not to be biased but Warlocks have struggled with their identity after we got gutted for Demon Hunters.
Seriously I feel like a edgy mage. Not a Warlock
As a DK i strongly disagree with this. Lol.
Plz god no more mobility in the game.
The only class I don’t really enjoy is warrior. It’s boring.
…
Why would you not want more mobility?
i dont want Warlocks to have more mobility, theres enough targets in the game that are essentially impossible to stick to for more than 2seconds.
theyre durable enough to justify being immobile, i vote no to Demo/Destro casting ShadowBolts/Immo/Incinerate while moving.
I meant for DKs. Should’ve clarified. Sorry.
As for warlocks, if KJC came back, I’d main one in a heartbeat.
On a class basis? Probably Priests or Shamans. All three of their specs are massively outshined by the competion.
On a spec basis? I think Subtlety definitely takes the crown as King Bin spec.
