Hi all,
So ive played melee/tank most of my wow days… ive been trying to switch to a ranged class lately but i just cant seem to get on with it i feel like the melee dps are getting the dps in so quick on a pull where ranged have to build up the dps (unless im doing it wrong)
Is there any ranged classes you’d recommend that have a quick gameplay ? or are they all like this and i just have to stick to melee lol
P.S not a fan of hunter at all so that class is out xD
Destro-lock? 
Shadow Priest? 
Fire/Frost/Arcane Mage 
But what content do you want to do?
Spend an evening doing some class trials. If you find one you might like play it for a couple of days before committing.
i mainly do M+
Then Shadow Priest, I guess
You should try it
Fire mage is the fastest pace ranged class, but it’s very very hard to play mechanically relative to other specs
It is?!
I was always told it’s easy.
And I’m not saying that because I don’t know it. I’m saying that because I don’t know the exact difficulty is all the others.
It’s definitely the easiest mage spec.
I been messing around with ele sham but it’s such a build up I’ll try mage next.
Mage has fire if you mean quick as in higher apm if you mean mobile mage is an extremely mobile class.
Sounds like you need to do harder content because this is not the case when you get into harder content.
Also things casters can do dps real fast also example frost in aoe on lower level keys.
Hi! and welcome, ranged dps best dps, also best view of the game 
I would suggest mage for now and if you go fire example its very quick gameplay like you wished and if you wish more slower pace then frost
personally i prefer lock and mage from the ranged dps and i suggest you the good old wizard aka mage
Yes, it’s the the highest APM caster in the game. There is a statistic you can look up, and it has 71 APM* (edited). Considering that you cast as well it’s kind of insanely fast relatively. It has the same APM as fury
Wrong it is 71APM on single target sims in fully max gear.
It is the highest APM single target Caster but that has nothing to do with difficullty of the spec it just means you mash buttons and anything obove 60 means you are doing off gcd stuff.
You’re right. I checked again and it was 71. Not sure why I remembered it wrongly. Fury and havoc for example have 75, and mage is a caster.
Ofc you can say “WoW in general isn’t hard”, but relatively to other specs in the game, fire mage is mechanically the hardest in AoE especially
It really is not it might be the hardest for you spesifically but it is not the hardest for aoe objectivly, it is nerfed in how hard it is to play so much that it is on the easy side to actually do.
It is wierd if you are used to playing casters but it is not hard to play.
Ok, I meant mechanically. I tried it once, and can you name a spec that is “mechancially” more challenging? I’m not saying complex
Mechanically, at least 2 of the warlock specs is more mechanically challenging, Balance druid is more mechanically challenging, even Shadow priest is more mechanically challenging.
Fire mage does not play like other casters so you need to get used to how it play if you are used to other casters but it is not the case if you have not played other casters before.
So when you get into playing it the mechanically challenging part is gone by the time you learn to play the spec.
That right there is why you think it is difficult you never gave it the chance to actually just play if you tried it once.
erm guys, the op asked range which has “quick gameplay” specifically but i dont see no mention of difficulty, im not sure if its worth go in too long debate over if something is easy or hard over here 
but firemage is fast paced for sure and a range one, and in my opinion fun!
in pvp i kinda like the adrenaline from watching its 400k healthbar go down from single hit and then up again from priests serenity like a rollercoaster and elevates ones pulse to levels of feeling alive
It’s true that fire is very very fast. They’re all very fast really, but it’s possible fire is the highest.

I dont know about difficulty, i know fire is very punishing if played wrong or things are missed however. Which in a pug enviroment can be a irritation
