Lowest apm (actions per minute) class?

I got pretty bad wrists/fingers these days, what are some of the lowest apm classes that are a bit more kind on the ol wrists but are still viable in raids and M+

Retri, assassination rogue or feral druid most likely.

Kind of on topic but I have the same problem. I have found that wearing fingerless gloves while playing provides some comfort and support :slight_smile:

Idk about apm, but BM hunter has always been my go-to when I want to play but my arthritis is acting up too much. For example farming can be done by sending pets in and auto shot if you don’t care about one shotting everything.

Not sure about the rogue, but ret paladin is less busy than feral druid. I think that is the best choice.

I’m gonna say Arcane Mage. You got like…3 buttons to keep track of.
The rest are just utility skills that depends heavily on situation but matters very little unless you feel you want a bit of extra (ice block, invis, etc).

Enhancement Shaman should be considered. Enh is purely cooldown/proc based now. You just pretty much press things as and when they are available.

Definitely not retribution, with haste their rotation can get quite a bit fast.

Id say assassination.

And enhancement is also quite slow, which was super disappointing to me, originally the changes sounded good, but when i actually tired it, no, it’s bad.

Assassination really ? i assumed Rogue was quite a spammy class thats cool if its true tho

Assassination is super slow.

Maybe not exactly the slowest, but definitely on the slower end.

For one haste doesn’t affect the gcd, so the max you can get is that you press an ability every 1 second, which will probably not happen unless you get to ludicrous levels of haste.

Does it have to be dps?

If not then Guardian Druid for sure.

Yea assa is slow, that’s why I like it.

Thats cool but how viable is assas endgame in raids/M+ ?

The what now? Guardian druid is spammy as hell.

2 of your rotation abilities has no rage cost and 2 has a CD, 1 doesn’t and should be used whenever you’re not GCD locked by the abilities that either are on CD or has a rage cost if you don’t need the mitigation and instead spend rage on maul. Then you have ironfur that you need to keep up too, which is off GCD.

Rogues and feral druids don’t use a GCD every time it’s available, guardian does. Assassination rogues and feral pool energy, which gives them rather big downtime in their rotation compared to a guardian druid.

Arms warrior

Yeah but the problem is as a guardian druid you actually don’t have to dps unless it is rage(as a resource) related. Though you need to press once in a while for ironfur which I totally agree.

Well, ret is not that slow, more especially adding talents that really smooth out the rotation.

As regarding melee, I would say arms warrior, it’s a spec that requires you to manage resources rather than being a happy smashing spell grind like is fury.

As regarding ranged dps, I’m going to say destro lock for sure.

Assassination rogue is well known for being a very very slow spec tho

Arms Warrior is extremely slow currently.

I was going to say arms warrior too. I generally love the spec, but my rage generation is utterly awful and leaves me with too much downtime.

Can we just get Cata/MoP arms back, please?
