Really thanks for your support. I tested all the classes at 50lvl and I have read all the rotations on wowhead. I fell that demo lock and mm hunter fit me best. People suggested healers but I think healers have too many keybinds and healing is kinda… intense?
And beside Holy Spec (Paladin) how others specs look like? Are they complicated or locked behind a lot of buttons? Because when I think on hybrid class (shaman, druid) I usually connect it with a lot of toolkits and spending a lot of time keybinding things especially if you’re switching specs
Sorry for the reply, I am asking this, mostly from curiousity because I would like to try it out. Exploring all classes that seem fun before DF hits and also to see did I made a good decision by maining a shaman.
P.S. after I saw suggestion here I tried frost mage, and oh my… Simple and fun
leveled priest up to 50 in all 3 specs (holy is strong, shadow is fun but a bit clunky rotation). Next project is destro lock and was considering paladin as my first melee class ![]()
Also tried druid (balnce/resto) but couldn’t used to it even if I was maining the class in Classic.
I don’t play Druid a lot, and I think the highest I’ve taken my little kitten was a +10 and even that was more of a carry, so I am really not the person to ask… But from my perspective Druid is not that bad because Druid splits a lot of their keybinds over several forms. I am not a “professional” tree however, those tend to have a lot more buttons in caster form than a Feral would have, for example. But Druid might be feasible due to the forms all having their own action bar that share keybinds.
For Paladin, I feel Prot has more keybinds than Holy, but still manageable. Nowhere near the ability bloat that IMO Holy Priests have. With a bit of creative keybinding it should be possible to fit most, if not all, of the important abilities on the mouse itself. But I mainly use Prot for questing and have only tanked maybe 3-5 15s for friends when our tank main was not available. I’m not knowledgeable enough to give actual dungeon/raid advice when it comes to Prot
As for Ret, I will just straight out admit that I have no idea about this spec. I don’t think it uses too many abilities. If you take the Onimaru approach to doing dungeons, I think you could get by with maybe one bar of abilities? But I don’t know what is needed to actually play the spec.
Sorry if I’m not very helpful, but I really only played Paladin as Holy until I switched to a Shaman. The joys of having a friend that enjoys tanking I suppose.
A bit of a mixed bag imo. I think that healers (and tanks) tend to utilise the peripheral parts of their toolkit a lot more frequently than DPS do. Something like Soothing Mist/Essence Font MW or Resto Shaman are probably the lowest APM healers, but as Miraz said above, Shamans in particular come with an above average number of keybinds, and some would argue that not fist-weaving is suboptimal.
Unfortunately, intensity (even at the highest keys) is decided almost entirely by the competence of your group, which I appreciate is probably a dice roll that you (as well as most people, including myself) would prefer to avoid assuming you don’t have a dedicated group of friends.
Glad that you found what you were looking for though, I am a huge fan of Demo in particular. Very much an awareness over APM spec.
Make sure that you sort yourself out some /petattack and /petpassive macros though, whether they’re independent or tied to other abiliites; pet AI is dumb and don’t let Blizzard tell you otherwise lmao.
