It’s a joke :stuck_out_tongue: But I mean, literally every rogue played Assa? I think maybe like 2 stuck to sub, most ragequit.

Now I’ll play sub again but well, its not like old sub. For the record, I normally play every spec in at least one piece of content I do (i.e. in bfa I still did sub in rogue/mage 2s, assa in pvp/raid and outlaw in m+), this expansion I plan to play sub in 3s, and maybe sub or assa in 2s, outlaw in m+ and if I have to raid, whichever is best there :stuck_out_tongue: I like to play Rogue, not play one part of it :slight_smile: Having to play Assa in almost all content of bfa wasn’t exactly fun.

But yeah, it was a joke :stuck_out_tongue:

Imo:

Easiest melee: DH, Frost DK, and I want to say Ret too (gets significantly harder to play the higher you go - not because of mechanical reasons though)
Hardest melee: Sub Rogue, Feral. Perhaps Survival Hunters too?

Easiest caster: Moonkin, SP
Hardest caster: Mage (Arcane perhaps more than the other 2, I think)

Easiest healer: Disc
Hardest healer: R.Druid, R.Shaman.

Sp is not easy to play, the difference between a bad and good priest is using your utilities at the right time.

Remember sp only have 1 school so if you got kicked you are dead.

Ele/boomkin are way more easier because they never cast and can kill you in few global.
To me the champion of all categories is mm, never seen an easier spec being so broken with close to 0 counterplay.

Easiest melee: Havoc, Fury, Frost DK
Hardest melee: Sub, WW

Easiest caster: Boomkin, Destruction Warlock
Hardest caster: Mages, Demo Warlock

Easiest healer: Holy Paladin
Hardest healer: Resto Druid

While I agree. The same thing can be said about Ele. The thing that differs good Ele from mediocre one is not damage. It’s the way he uses his utility. That’s why Zeepeye is the best Ele world 2-3 leagues above others.

Grounding traps or using Tremor/Grounding properly is not that easy vs good players. They fake their traps, fears etc. Then they destroy totem and use their spells. I always find being proactive harder that being reactive.

SP is more about the mentality of “I have to kite because they train me”. If you accept the fact that if you have no warlock in your team you are not going to kite anyone then you will improve on Spriest.

True but imo it’s easier to play around spriest than ele, to me it’s a cancer to deal with cause they run 24/7 around pillar and never cast while as priest without the proc you have to cast everything and 1 dispell your dmg is gone.

Damnation and Unfurling Darkness fix the problem also Ele has to hardcast Lava Bursts nowadays because Blizzard nerfed instant procs from 15% to 10%. While on paper it look as not a big deal it’s 33% nerf in fact. Also try playing Ele vs good disc with 2x dispel. It feels like you can’t play the game because of Flame Shock 5 sec cd.

Nah i think ret is hard you need to use ur stuff wiseley dont u

Double dispell is absolutely insane, even more in 2s imo^^

Okay, but this can be said about almost every single spec in the game. This is also one of the differences between good and bad Rets, Arms Warriors, and so on.

Matter of fact is that, even somebody who is relatively new to PvP can jump on a SP alt and suddenly start doing really good pressure.

2 schools. Power Word: Shield. Also, the whole “if you get kicked = you are dead” is false. Unless, of course, the enemies are bursting and you got kicked during that time. But then again it also depends on your teammates.

MM is definitely giga broken, not about to delve deeper into that. I agree about the Boomie aspect, but not the Ele one. The difference between a good Ele and a FOTM reroller Ele can be quite huge, depending on the season/expansion. That’s how I see it at least.

I 100% agree with this. And this is also why I say that Ret is easy to play - because you are mostly expected to react to stuff that has already happened. Your kit does not really support proactive gameplay (bar Blessing of Sacrifice, I guess, or some really clutch Blessing of Protection in those very rare situations).

We have to distinct skillcap and skillfloor because these are two different things. Ret might be easy to start but playing it at higher ratings is absolute pain because everything kites you and you have literally 0 defence against casters besides bubble and this pathetic absorb shield. At low rating you may stomp people but higher you get they kite better

Pw:shield do not save you from anything.
Getting kicked as priest is terrible because all our cd’s are on this school and everyone knows it.

You got the example btw when wizk got kicked and got deleted almost in the opener the last time they played.
Actually caster don’t care in general about getting kicked except spriest/arcane/aff.

Tbh I don’t think a beginner can do good as priest compared to the other for the reasons I explained and also because you have 0 mobility so being trained and or in bad spot cost you most of the time the game.

We will see when season begin but I don’t think there is going to be more spriest than other caster (except at very low rating).

Hell, no healer has good mobility when it comes to getting away from melee. Its like melee are supposed to have 100% up time.

Atleast it feels that way sometimes. Maybe its the absurd damage and short games that have it feeling that way now more so than it being the actual case

Very biased inc

The easiest melee would have to be monk or dh, very little skill-cap for either specs imho, easily a good off-spec melee class any joe can pick up

the hardest melee in the current game would probably be frost dk cause its simply juts such a big underperformer RN from current knowledge

the easiest caster is 100% ele shaman or boomie, being spell locked is a rare sensation as these casters and if BFA was anything to go off being insta-casters, its the same syndrome of fighting fire mage: the few things you can react / shut down are the things which aren’t potent.

the hardest caster I’m very torn here but I want to say its either arcane mage or demo lock mostly cause of the case of it being you have 1 school of magic to work with or your class inherently hasn’t got a great deal going for it.

as for healers I’m not sure mechanically speaking one of the easiest to shut down is holy priest

one of the hardest to shut down feels like monk or shaman & they typically are very oppressive healers which add to difficulty and relative ease of play when it comes to being a credit to team

It is hard to consider how to rate speccs towards being hard or easy because they can be easy to pickup but hard to master. After that you need to consider their skillcap/ceiling.

Easiest melee: DH, Assa, Fury
Hardest melee: Survival, Feral, WW, Sub

Easiest caster: Destro maybe elemental
Hardest caster: Demo, SP

Easiest Healer: Holy Paladin, Disc Priest
Hardest Healer: Rsham, Rdruid

All the other speccs are basically in middle ground. Not too hard not too easy.

Disc as an example is so beginner friendly it’s insane. While they can differ themselves the easy gameplay still stays the same even at high cr, on top of that fake casting also rarely matters. Feral for example is hard to pick up and hard to perfect. WW is somewhat easy to pickup but hard to perfect. Survival is also kinda easy to pick up, but the skill lies more behind kiting, positioning and know how. Destro is just a turret you rarely have to look at anything you don’t need to fake cast the only thing you might consider sometimes is positioning, as an easy example.

Because Boomkin is braindead.

This is why the rating system in Overwatch is interesting since it is more somewhere inbetween skill floor and skill ceiling (or perhaps it is literally just the floor?). Tracer only has 2 stars as an example but is always in the top 10 hardest heroes to master.

This is why even though say Assa is easy to play, it still has outplay possibilities because its still a rogue spec.
