Which Melee Classes/Specs are defined as Zugzug?

Hello, my first post here on the forums! I started WoW very recently (start of Dragonflight) and pretty much every other day I’m playing, I learn a new thing, so I apologize if my question sounds silly. Now I see the term “zugzug” (I know it from the orcs) being used quite often for melees especially but not all. For example I heard “You cant just zug zug as rogue”. What exactly do players mean with it and which classes/specs is it used for?

You fall with your head on the keyboard and do loads of DMG stealing aggro from tanks.

Retri paladin, fury e.g

I’m not sure exactly what it means either, but Veggiette’s description sounds about right.
Welcome to WoW and I like your name - clever!

Fury warrior is the source of zug zug memes no? It’s literally about mashing buttons with RAAAAAGE

Which melee classes? All of them rn maybe except survival hunter?

I’d say enh sham and both war dps specs !

As others described it Zug Zug basically means just focusing on doing damage while ignoring everything else. While ranged classes can have it normally it is a trait associated with melee (mainly warriors, as their specs were always mainly about dealing damage with low to no utility being brought to the table beside ‘mad deeps’).

Zugzug is generally a response to melee dps players deem to be Easy to play to make them feel worse about themselves as a player :joy:

Mainly used in pvp content, very rarely is entirely true

Well i have played for a long time now and the only class defined with Zugzug is warrior.
But i have personally hardly heard people use the term at all.

If it has to do with doing big deeps and getting aggro from tanks in PvE that would automatically be a melee thing because melee quite literally have a lower threshold to get aggro from the tank then ranged players have.

that makes sense then for why i have not really heard it much at all.

Did you play Hearthstone? It’s a meme similar to “go face”. It means to just zerg the boss/enemy down with little regard for strategy.

Furry Warrior is the ultimate zug class. Arms has a bit more charisma to it but furry is another story.

All excluding Rogue.

Warrior? Zug.
Hunter? Zug.
Rogue? Zug!
Priest? No Zug!

Zugzug is orc anything. Mostly warrior, with a 2 handed axe. :dracthyr_love_animated:

Basically zugzug is the mentality where you disregard everything else like cc-ing the enemy, peeling for your allies or even using your utility just in the name of trying to zerg down someone on the enemy team. Most often it’s a melee character because it’s generally easier to zugzug as melee and even more easier when there are 2 melee that are zugzuging the same target.

Warrior is the Zug Zug class. Make it an Orc for an authentic experience. Paladin is the flashy cousin.

As an orc warrior I don’t see what you people mean. We have lots of defensives, mobility and some cc. We just don’t have meaningful utility, so other players maybe can’t appreciate us. If you only do damage and disregard everything, you’re not playing warrior properly, because you ignore half your buttons
