Nearly gave up on ranged classes

Just want to say, I’ve actually been having a lot of fun I missed out on DF after quitting early in shadowlands, an joined back to finish the DF campaign a week before TWW came out. I’m not a big fan of the profession’s right now tbh, have to make some to make some to make some to add all these extras an make sure it’s in line with spec for the profession, ugh just a couple steps over complicated/unneeded… but that’s a different topic…

I’m actually having a lot of fun, about to ding my 4th lvl 80. The problem was ranged classes though… I feel like every melee class (other then feral druid, which is a shame as its my fav) are just in a really good spot. all DK classes, enh sham, demon hunter, Ret pally, SUV hunter, warr are really good leveling up in TWW, then I started trying ranged dps, fire/frost mage, priest, hunter and gave up on them all, they just don’t hit the same as melee…

I decided to main enh sham and maybe DH or frost DK as second main.

But the past couple days I thought I’d give ranged 1 last try, warlock… wasn’t having fun an affliction an quickly changed after a couple hours of slowing going through quests to try it out. An changed to destruction… I have have to to, it ignited my love for bursty ranged again… to the point it may be my main or second main now. There just something about how it plays just feel really good. Coming off the back of BM hunter I just feel so strong. I don’t look up guides on what to play meta wise, I just put specs/classes through quests an dungeons to feel what’s strong to me and enh sham, frost DK an destro lock are feeling really good to me.

Anyway, enjoying this expansion so far, hope it continues :slight_smile:

Not every class is for every person and that’s completely fine. I am having a blast on my BM and don’t care that the damage isn’t that great compared to other classes. I just prefer ranged classes and melee isn’t for me, whether they hit harder or not is completely irrelevant to me because of it.

To each their own :slight_smile:

Well you are delusional then. Its literally World of Casters.

Mages Warlocks and Hunters pissing themselves (my other main alts are a mage and a hunter and boy it is easier).

Casters are doing as much damage as warriors but with range, that is safty.

And it was this way all through Shadowlands too so you can tell you missed it xd

BM Hunter nicely combines the advantages of melee (can do everything while moving) and ranged. It’s definitely my favorite dps spec, even though I don’t plan on playing it much this addon (trying to limit myself to just the shaman).

You’re so wrong beyond belief it’s always been a melee meta

What are you talking about ? I started with Lock and Warrior , both could solo everything in the same level . To be honest Warlock solo quests were easier than Warrior , if you dont count the dungeon leveling that Warrior can go as Tank .

Lastly i leveled Frost Mage , and he was even more powerfull in my hands as i am keen with Frost specc more than 3 expansions ago .

Not all classes are for everyone . For example in my hands Elemental Shaman is useless , never played one and never enjoyed one . The problem is not the class ,nor am i , but the compinations just doesnt work .

I’ve been leveling up every class in the game, it’s been a ton of fun trying out all the specs, they’re all surprisingly well done.

I’m about on my 7th or 8th 80 and I can say that I definitely feel the overwhelming power in the hands of the casters. Right now, my Hunter is hitting like a truck, but I’ve also got the tier sets from DF, so that might be why.

I had the most fun on mage, Aff is ok, but never really enjoyed it in PvE, it’s very fun in PvP.

Whatever you feel like is the most fun for you though. I definitely play some classes better than others, and for some reason, I just can’t get myself to enjoy playing DK, even though it feels good. Monk is my favorite melee, it just rips.

I had the opposite experience, started after a long break with fury war.
Amazing levelling experience and honestly great gameplay, but as soon as I entered dungeons I was like, hell to the nope.

Between 25000 separate damage numbers on your face, 50 mobs pull, 25 different kind of hazard on the floor, knockbacks, stuns, roots ecc ecc it feels absolute chaos.

Meanwhile ranged sit back and have clear visuals and a muuuuch easier time.

Will probably main either elemental shaman or destro lock.

Arcane and Demonology are incredibly fun in this expansion. Right up there with Ret and the DK specs.

People care way to much what the meta is…

Pllay what you enjoy.

I always main Lock and we’re eating pretty good ATM, Aff and Demo are really smooth and fun to play. Arcane Mage is an absolute blast, and I also really enjoy Frostfire Fire but the damage is laughably bad, so hopefully the spec becomes playable at some point. As for melee, Ret is insanely fun, so those 3 will be the classes I focus on the most.

Only thing warlock is lacking is a tank spec.

Hate the queues…
