Which Class + Spec has instant kills ? + high level of damage bursts + sustained damage?

[Rathrezim-dragonmaw]

I was thinking the following ones :

1. Destruction Warlock

2. Fire or Frost maybe even Arcane Mage

3. Subtlety or Outlaw Rogue

4. Havoc DH

5. Unholy DK

Warlock has lower burst than Mage but more sustained. So I guess I can go ahead and eliminate Mage it means I’m left with 4.

Doing my best to pick my main character - my main One for WoW Shadowlands

Please let me know your verdict - I would much appreciate it.

The answer is: Every spec but yours

at least it seems like most people see it that way

on topic: retri paladin is burstmaster, destro lock also, even shadow priest now has insane burst

Ret Pally can’t be as it’s hybrid and I’m talking about DPS wise & everything wise (PVE + PVP)

It’s 100% 1 pick for Melee DPS and 1 pick for Ranged DPS and both picks are from this pot which includes 5 options (Destruction Warlock, Fire/Frost/Arcane Mage, Subtlety/Outlaw Rogue, Havoc DH or Unholy DK)

You being racist against HYBRIDS? How rude

[Rathrezim-dragonmaw]

Nope I’m not it’s just not my thing :)))

I think it’s hard to pick 1 for Melee and 1 for Ranged all 5 I reckon have instant kills + high level of damage bursts + sustained damage (From scale 1 to 10)

Destruction Warlock = instant kill: 7, high level damage burst: 9, sustained damage: 8 (Total score: 8.0)

Mage = instant kill: 8, high level damage burst: 10, sustained damage: 7 (Total score: 8.3)

Rogue = instant kill: 9, high level damage burst: 9, sustained damage: 8 (Total score: 8.6)

Unholy DK = instant kill: 8, high level damage burst: 8, sustained damage: 9 (Total score: 8.3)

Havoc DH = instant kill: 7, high level damage burst: 9, sustained damage: 8 (Total score: 8.0)
