That’s a classic character no class is hard, why do you result to talking down to someone when there opinion is different
It’s always funny to me when they throw BM or havoc under the bus as being super easy as well.

But that is not true. There are hard classes, or specs at least.
You can’t compare the skill cap of a Fury, Frost (DK or Mage) or BM to that of a Spriest or Warlock.
lol. since you mentioned casual play earlier- if it’s easy for melee it’s even easier for RDPS, period. LFR CN? you literally just get to stand there and hard cast. LFR is baby mode, it’s not punishing. there is no mechanic in LFR CN that rdps has to deal with that melee doesn’t, and it ends up benefitting ranged.
Another thing I’ll address, one raid tier? Did you play BfA? I played Balance, and while it wasn’t the hardest class, I literally cannot recall at any point struggling to maintain damage, while Feral really made me feel the punishment of moving away from the boss to run mechanics. Who would think that a spec with limited range would suffer from moving away from the boss?
RDPS and Melee have different advantages and disadvantages but are not better than each other overall, just better at certain things.
RDPs will always have the advantage of being able to do damage at a good distance. You have instant casts that you can easily weave into while doing mechanics. And quite frankly, there really isn’t any super uber difficult dps. Is this some sort of a “I’m a better player because I play ” you’re doing? Because your posts really give off that vibe:
Please hop off your high horse, thanks.

Try playing a demo lock without the built-in movement bs and dots. Hard cast every single thing every time you do anything and with a straight face that its so much easier than melee.
I just don’t think any spec in the game is difficult to play. Sp and warlock are all very simple. If difficulty is managing dots maybe, but I think it’s a not exactly a hard thing to do. Just my opinion though
The ability to do your game play and react to mechanics and such while maining uptime is where the skill comes in
This is the key concept that mdps facerollers don’t (or refuse to) understand. Having this advantage also comes with responsibilities: while they’re slamming their faces against the keyboard we’re dealing with all the boss mechanics.
Yes because warlock only has one spec.
…literally the only tier that has been Melee-friendly ever, but very much a Melee-friendly tier.
Demo lock is insanely easy and you get instant casts all the time. I guess if you weren’t in wq gear and playing real content you’d know that 
Post on your mythic raid geared demo lock then if you think it’s so easy. Cuz it exists right? You’re not talking out your rear as a facerolling melee?
Affliction and Shadow have a 6-7 button rotation.
BM, Frost and Fury have a 4 button rotation.
Yes. I play both melee and ranged. Ranged is about 5 times as easy to play as melee in dungeons and raids right now. It’s not even close.
Try part of one expansion. Ranged has been far easier to play for the vast majority of the game’s history.
Lol I don’t play melee dps I’m a Brewmaster, ele shaman, fire mage, balance, and Marksmen. Demo isn’t strong that’s why no one plays it not because the rotation is hard
Yes you are right there is more buttons, but to me I don’t think of that as making it harder to play just more buttons
Except it hasn’t. I had this idea melee was gonna be hard andi avoided leveling melee only classes. It was literally ez mode in all casual content compared to my ranged. (I’m speaking specifically for the casual majority. I’ve only done up to heroic raids on lock so can’t speak for mythic)
If that’s the case you’re comparing tanking to ranged dps?
Also I have every single class at max most expansions and know what I’m talking about for the level of content I play. Not “lul is trash dps so 2 ez”
more buttons = more chances to make mistakes. you should know this as an ele shaman.
He admitted he doesn’t even play melee and is apparently comparing tanking on a BrM to his easiest in the game ranged alts.

Even then 3 out of the top 5 performing specs were ranged.
But yeah, I agree, it’s highly unusual for raids to ever be melee friendly.
