playing since tbc and still dont know when and what to ground damn 
You don’t judge if something is good or not at low levels of gameplay.
If you think it’s practical to tell someone, play X class it never gets trained you need to wake up a little. The entire point of what I said was, EVERY class gets trained by something, it’s better to learn how to use your CD’s properly and survive than it is to class hop. Atleast that way you play a class you enjoy while also improving at the game.
According to check PvP you’re highest is 2k in 2s and 1750 in 3s and 2.1k in RBGs. Those do not qualify as high rating, these days 2400 isn’t even high rating in arena and RBG’s are not comparable to arena at all. It has nothing to do with “get veteran”, you judge how well something plays based off how it plays into other classes that are being played well.
Again, that’s not true. A WW for example would be harder for a new player to see success with than a Lock or SP for example. There’s more to a class than it’s damage, you can get away with standing there and tanking damage on a Lock or SP to a certain degree at lower levels, not a WW though. It’s true there are more melee that are easier to learn than casters, but it’s not true for every melee and every caster.
Well it’s really simple, you use it to deny an important CC from landing or to help disrupt or stop a dangerous spell from going off, giving you or your teammates a chance to reposition and avoid the recast. You can even use it to ground kicks off certain classes so they can’t stop you or a teammates from casting something.
Also on the “aura” that protects melees etc, there’s a big difference there. The aura is either a personal def CD and doesn’t help their teammates, or it’s a group aura like AMZ and has a long CD. Grounding is easy to use, helps everyone on your team and has a short CD. The difference is you have more decision making when using grounding because it lasts 3 seconds, and can be destroyed.

Is Assasination rogue easy to play?
You wrote a WHOLE LOT of “useful” information there. From the standpoint of someone who wants to invest 2+ years of their life researching, playing A LOT and most likely setting up addons to get to a “decent level”. And so you just missed my entire point completely. Even though you think you are providing kind advise!
I could go into more detail about why WoW is not or should not be this kind of level of e-sports gameplay. But I don’t wish to spend a lot more time on this (need sleep). But yeah, even if you think there is actual value in the AWC at all, they play on tournament realms anyway. More Actual players should have access to fun PvP, getting both the elite tmog sets and glad mounts more easily.
Mythic raiding could be tossed in there as well, but at the end of a tier it’s not really as hard and you can always farm the tmog and 1% drop mounts later → More WoW, and better. And yet, I am not advocating for the type of casualization that a big chunk of the playerbase want these days. I want the “golden average”.
I know in theory. Which you should understand from the rest of my writing. You PvP:ers have a hard time understanding that if you played mostly PvE over the last 15 years grounding totem simply doesn’t exist in your mind? Because it simply doesn’t.
But also if you like me constantly switch talents, chars, specs, play PvE, completionism content and PvP. Constantly scanning your oversaturated UI ungabunga for the occasional poly or chaos bolt that would make you MVP for stopping is just not fun gameplay. Let alone easy to master.
(Imagine giving an answer regarding this to a Huntard )
I would refer to the writing of the priest above. @Iowercase
Is Shadow Dance > engage Cheap Shot key intelligent gameplay? No, in fact Shadow Dance in its current iteration as a low-to-medium cooldown PvE rotational ability singlehandedly condemns Sub Rogues to playing near exclusively with Mages and Hunters.
However, is monitoring DRs, communicating with your partner(s), properly reading and engaging with the flowchart of any given game, and understanding both proper and niche usage of situational abilities like Smoke Bomb and Shadowy Duel from behind the wheel of one of the few melee specs left for which “do damage lol” is not a viable win condition not a step up from a Fury Warrior or Havoc DH pressing W at the squishiest member of the enemy team?
Or a Ret walking into two or more people with Shield of Vengeance up, landing a Blinding Light and then one-shotting someone mid-disorient that you can’t trinket due to the threat of a HoJ?
Or a WW who’s sole gameplan is to Swifty Macro someone in a Leg Sweep and then spend the next minute running around pillars?
Or an Enhancement Shaman who flails around doing abject nothing until trying to highroll whatever gimmick cast-time-turned-instant-cast they’ve been given this time. At least Lightning Bolt/Elemental Blast doesn’t also heal them to full the way that Chain Harvest did, kek.
Don’t get me wrong brother, I too roll my eyes whenever Reckful™ decides to pop Sprint and Cheap Shot my entire team for no energy cost whatsoever, but to compare them to the other Dynasty Warriors is a little bit disingenuous imo.

Angry Feral Druid and Surv Hunter noises
I would personally argue that Empowered Seals required 10x more “skill” than anything else Shadow Priest has ever had in terms of a hard-to-execute mechanical ability.
I would refer to google by typing “Twitch” and then watching some Ele Shaman streams, brothers. Ask them a question or two - Swapxy typically always replies.
I did mention Survival Hunter in the second block that you’ve quoted. Feral is a fair point and does also have a very high skill ceiling; I was explicitly talking about skill floor, though.
That might be a fair thing to say, but I’m talking about now, not Legion when it was removed iirc?
Demo/aff/Spriest
They are generally low on priority list
I watch and have watched plenty of shamans. Not sure about that dude specifically. But when on twitch I also look for personalities and not just, “hey toxic PvP:er can you tell me to git gud?”. Not saying most are or that Swapxy is, but ran into a few of those. Though it’s probably more common to just not get a response.
Also. I play many characters. I can tell, just logging onto a new melee and doing whatever is easier than (MOST) ranged.
Aff is still a common target I’d say. Not sure about Spriests, but I don’t think most people I see bother with Demo. They’ve got pets and stuff. Hah
This 100%. Best option is to stick the class u know and learn how to avoid and read incoming swaps to u. As ele shaman i try to keep the max range and start kiting as soon as I notice they will swap to me. Example warriors will always hit the closest target so if u can keep distance and start kiting as soon as u notice they go for u then they dont have a chance.
