Impossible to play for players with only one character

I am a long-time World of Warcraft player, and like many others, I only play one character, mainly due to time constraints. I have a family and can only find a few evenings per week to enjoy WoW. As things currently stand, classes are VERY, VERY unbalanced. Some are incredibly overpowered, while others are quite weak, both in PvE and especially in PvP. Players who play multiple classes don’t face this issue because they can simply switch to the overpowered class of the season. However, for those like me who can only focus on one class, if that class is underperforming, it becomes IMPOSSIBLE to play and enjoy the game.

Of course, there are players who manage to achieve great results with weaker classes, but they are the top players or streamers in the world, and that’s an exception. Please consider balancing the classes better, as those of us who can only dedicate time to one class, whether due to time constraints or simply because we love that class, are unable to enjoy the game to its fullest.

If Blizzard’s direction is to force all players to have multiple characters and classes, please say so explicitly, and I will quit the game.

Are there other players who feel the same way and are facing this frustrating issue?

Have a multiple character and play whats meta shoudnt be excuse from blizzard at any point…

I personaly hate when people swarm like rats to play just one class, and when diversity is poor in PvP… I also disrespect classes which draw their power from misery of others, classes which have no counter except mirror of its own class… Evry monkey can thrive without opposition. Like in nature, there will be alot of rats if population of cats decline.

but you play a mage, so why would this ever become a concern? there hasn’t been a single season in the history of the game mages haven’t been either on top or competing for top.

theres 2 of them in the top 10 of 3s.

theres 1 of them in the top 10 of rbgs.

theres 3 frost mages above 2600 in bg blitz. (top 1%)

theres 12 frost mages above 2100 in solo shuffle. (top 1%)

confusing

Besides PvP being unablanced everything else dude said sounds like a lazy persons victimhood complex.
Dude you just aint that good and you lazy too, its fine. Move on. Or Improve. (or dont and try to change reality, which spoiler: is way harder than simply putting in the work. but at least you tried).

As a mage, you have 3 specs. One of them is strong at any given moment.

the enjoyment from playing frost mage comes from the realisation that you’re actively ruining the game for other people just by doing your rotation

ehhh, not enough for me, i need to feel like effort and skill are the reason stuff happens on the screen
hardcasting will always feel more rewarding
or in the case of fire pressing alot of keys in a short amount of time for combos

the typical Victimcard “i have 10 Wive 10 Kids, working for 50hours per week”

  1. u play mage, one spec of mage is always S tier or A+
  2. it was never easier to reroll than in Df, and Now, if we dont count Wod/Legion
  3. u can level from 70-80 in 6-7 Hours by doing dungeons.
  4. i have friends what have a wife, + a 40 hours week Job, and they still can play wow, on high m+ key level/ or to Gladiator, so i think it´s a you issue, beeing lazzy.

im only triggered by that “always”

i mean when it comes to Arena/M+, i never saw Mage at B Tier, or under B Tier

i dont know if this is the case when it comes to Solo content/ Battlegrounds, Raiding, was only related to arena, after the Nerfs i think Frost mage is still A tier, while every other Spec still stuck in b/c ?

I mean i can relate to this guy in a way. The insane honor grind for gem slots is a tad off putting.

having sockets or not makes almost no difference in player power

ye its prob A tier, or S, depends what it faces
idk, in dragonflight i felt like mage was very oftne underwhelming, but idk what classes were domianting

right now i know there is like… 6 or 7 specs stronger than frost and frost is like, twice stronger than arcane and fire …

i mean close to everyone would prefer fire mage meta over frost mage meta, but blizzard butchered this class pretty much, and made it a fully aoe m+ spec, like it was in dragonflight Flamestrike, and Living bomb spam (what does now negative dmg, while the singletarget dmg does even less)

currently no, but after the nerfs for sure because they are still not “nerfed” or not enough, like disc, pres evoker dk, mm hunter, affli

about feral, the change is pretty weird, feral wil autowin double meele cleaves by just spaming primal wrath, idk why they cant put a pvp mod on it

feral and boomie feel stronger than frost in bg rn
marksman and surv feel stronger
fury dk and deva feel stronger
affly and maybe even destro feel stronger

rest is below prob
just saying how it feels, not that i even play frost, i just fface frost/those specs, and i feel like they just do more dmg, have better cc, and so many interrupts or way to shut me down

Maybe try another game, or single player RPG. WOW might not be the game for you? On the other hand create a new toon, what’s the rush, for me having other characters is all part of the fun.

thats for sure in bg blitz, rogue and feral is by far s+

in arena however feral is s tier but have allot of counters, like prot warri, dk, deva evoker with outlaw

about mm it´s your view cuz they obliberate mages, against meeles especially fury/dk mm feels not that good, or when he getting tunneled, thats what i do in bgs, i just tunnel the mm hunt all day to prevent him from doing unhealable dmg

but these classes what u mention like affli deva, these classes are currently overpowerd, and playing already the next xpac, and have to be tuned down

i can imagine that single target frost lance, are not feeling good/op while in arena most of the mage playing the lance cleave build, idk how it´s called, they just doing m+ dmg and killing both meeles in the same time, while they are unable to move

I don’t understand how is having just 1 toon a problem ? Given the little time I have for this game now, I just want to play only 1 character and I didn’t feel like something is wrong and forcing me to have others at all… And if one day the class gets nerfed to oblivion (I doubt it), then so be it, I still enjoy playing the character for fun either way
