Since Uldir i rerolled my Sv Hunter that i loved to play and i just dont feel what class i am supposed to play.
I play my Monk here and there, but somehow i feel it lacking in general pve. Its ok for arena i guess.
So my and the gang decided to rol something togather for Sl, but i just cant decide. Personally i play 3v3 and some 2v2’s with casual random bg-s, and friends usually ask me to join them for mythic, and they seem to be really competitive with it, so i dunno what to roll. Most classes that seem fun for pve are really subpar in arena or bg-s.
Some tips would be welcome. Anyone can suggest me some?
Historically monk has always had at least MW or WW being a decent/good spec for v3s. Brewmaster also tends to be a top pick in PvE raiding. In m+ MW alright but not a top pick though that could change with the prepatch… And if you play WW and care about numbers you’ll understand how it feels to be at the receiving end of Blizz favoritism towards DH which outclasses us in almost every way possible.
With that said we don’t know exactly how prepatch and Shadowlands covenants might change the M+ meta and 3v3 so the performance of each class is hard to gauge outside of a few outliers such as afflilock with perma 60% slow or sub rogues two-shotting people in arena, and even these could be changed before release.
My suggestion would be to find a class that you enjoy playing during the prepatch and roll with it in Shadowlands even if it’s not the best in v3s or m+. If you like it you’ll be naturally enclined to put more effort into it and perform well with it. If you look at the v3 and m+ leaderboards a ton of lower played specs are still represented, the game is quite well balanced and you can do well with any class/spec you want outside of really bad cases of bad balancing.
All healers are able to push 2.4k in 3s and all healers can finish all keys at 15.
If you want more than this you have to wait and see what will be meta - no one can say this for Shadowlands atm.
Currently holy palas are very strong in arena due to the truth corruption - they can spam major CDs - which removes the ‘skill’ component of the spec in pvp as pala is about rotating CDs. They are also favored in mplus.
You dont have to minmax that hard if your goals are ‘just’ the best rewards from rated arena and mplus.
Currently i am 2.4k on disc and monk. Both chars have around 2.5k Rio before i stopped playing myth some weeks ago.
So play whatever you like or whatever fits the classes your friends play.
As my arena mates will play shadow and lock i have to abbandon my priest for the monk.
hmm. Thank you for the reply. Pesonally i wish i could play my Surv hunter again without getting punished in my performance in damage, becouse of the mechanic in the way they deal damage, and how reliant are they on the pet to kill command, that is hard to use becouse of the stupid pet ai and routing. I wont even mention how many times it got stuck on doorways or portals in Uldir and other raids…or how it pulls the half instance in with its extremely dumb pathing.
But i guess playing ranged again would not be so bad. I hear bm are really good lately…just dunno how they fix the stupidity of pets…Maybe just alt a druid and hope they dont get nerfed as ferals, and that resto is still viable. Thankfully since my friends will play i dont have to bother with stupid class racism and ill have spot in m+ es.
