After testing on PTR and talking to people , the most fun classes to play PVE wise and maybe they are strong in PVP too are :
Shamans
Both Enhancement and Elemental are fun to to play , Resto i am not 100% sure , but casting waves of water and making them fly all over the screen is cool.
Warriors
Arms and Fury , look very interesting and fun .
Hunters
MM out of the 3 specs , is the most fun , needs a little more fixing , but all hunters are having fun with it.
Priests
Both healing specs are strong , but dammin … Shadow is so Overpowered , smooth rotation , and added Survivability
If what’s fun and what isn’t was that easy to figure, then we’d be having one single tank one single healer and one single dps class for everyone to play with. not so many variations.
A person who likes warriors will keep liking warriors in shadowlands. and someone who likes mage, will still like mage.
If it’s power you’re talking about, balancing will be drastically off when shadowlands hits live. And it’ll constantly change for a couple of months. Don’t expect anything you see right now in PTR or beta as an indication of anything permanent.
Actually , after giving DHs and Monks the “right” try after changing talents
Both classes have a VERY fun new play styles , DH being a little smoother in rotation , but actually both looks like a solid choice.
Yes , DHs have now MORE than 2 Buttons to press , so now actually we will be able to see who is a good DH and who is not , i think in Arena MOMENTUM might be worth taking against double mele next season given than you take Healing reduction new PVP talent
I really like Prot Paladin changes, so even though I mained paladin for the last couple of years I think I will still play it. (I don’t like holy power for Holy Paladins, it kind of forces you to play glimmer/crusader strike build again - Melee Healer).
Ok guys i know this is not the right topic but blizzard just did nothing about this game in general. Adding new stuff and nerfing or buffing some classes change nothing. Everytime when i log in to the game i dont know what to play, what class, what to expect about that class. I played all time for progression and stuff ( m+, raids pve in general). And ofc because i play mostly dps i want to be effectiv at this job. But when you look at dps metter you see ur class on bottom-middle-upfront and why that ? Because blizzard can’t do the basic to a game it’s called BALANCE. Why do i need to stay 3 months to create a character and play this f game ? Or use raids bots to customize my rotation ? Is just insane and we pay this s… montly…
TBH , BM is very boring , N1 spec since Legion , time for MM to be Back , MM still have problems , but it is working at least , unlike Ret Paladins PVP lol
