I'd just go DH, I have 8 lvl 70s and tested all of them for SS in Season 3. It has a forgiving rotation and is loads of fun to play for a new player due to it's mobility. It also has a nice variety of defensive cool downs that make it feel even more forgiving and the damage is nuts. Trust me, it's a class when I'm just annoyed with solo shuffle I play to get out some frustration because it just owns.

[@edwardhatfield5360]

1 vs 1 frost or unholy dies when fighting a blood dk every time. Until they properly buff/fix Frost and Unholy, Blood DKs will run rampant. Blizzard wont nerf Blood DK survivability or cc so it is strong at preventing enemies from doing what they want, even if blood dk damage is on the low end.

[@ninolinoyt]

The problem with frost is that they became a setup spec that works with very specific partners. If you buff it they might be OP in 3s but only decent in solo shuffle.

[@YolkedDwarf]

I geared a frost dk for season 3 pvp because I’ve always thought they looked so cool. It’s been hard to climb the ladder but fun because it’s something new to me. The survivability is abysmal, and the burst window can be shutdown so easily.

Frost DK is like Ret from many expansions ago. WotlK for example. It revolves aroud playing "wack-a-mole" with the glowing buttons and cooldowns increasing your damage by up to 1000%. No, really.10x. Literally 1000%. Obliterate is a 30k ability, but when you have proccs and cooldowns up it can crit for 300k. It's just a badly designed spec. I mean you could work with the one shot gimmick, but when you're literally the least tanky melee class in the game it's just no use.

[@undird210]

So I'm a noob, I've got a warrior and monk to 70 all geared up with pvp gear. So what youre saying is I made the right choice picking a melee class?

[@edwardhatfield5360]

​@@undird210If you had not chosen specs with instant mobility it would be worse for you. As a Ret you try to walk, catch a slow or snare, cast freedom, then get stunned, use trinket just to be slowed again, while your slowed you get stunned again, if a moment when you are not slowed or snared you steed to catch up to a ranged enemy just to be slowed or snared again or maybe knocked back, feared, cycloned, sheeped or mind controlled, maybe 5 seconds later the most resent cc fades and you steed, while moving fast your feared, now you are moving fast in the wrong direction, then the warlock teliports you across the arena and your camera is in a wall so you dont even know where you are for 2 more seconds while you get oriented, then you get mind controlled, after the 30 seconds you couldn't walk ends their stuns are back up and if your not dead you catch another stun, if you use a forbearance causing defensive to remove the third stun the enemy removes the bubble or bop and kills you as not having other defensives avalable anymore for 30 seconds because you used one makes you the new easiest spec to kill in the game. Basically every spec in the game has more or more effective mobility and CC than Ret so its a hard sell as an easy spec to win as. Ret has good range, but you play the game as the industry favorite target to crowd control, and if they cant CC you they line of sight you.

To counter the dying in one or two stuns or being held out of range, I leveled and geared a blood DK. Now my target cant leave and I dont die nearly as often, wasnt doing damage on ret anyway since I was cced more often than not. Gripping/chains of ice is more effective at up time on target than trinket, bubble, freedom, and steed combined.

[@AnAdoringFan]

I know everyone wants to say their spec is hard, but calling outlaw moderate seems wrong to me. The spec has a ton of plates to spin just to do damage. Some things got a bit easier this patch, like not needing to have a separate keybind for ambush procs anymore, however you have to plan ahead way more now because of crackshot. Committing a dance or vanish with BTE on CD is a huge mistake that leads to big damage and momentum loss, and while stealth windows are up you have to be very careful about your GCDs to not accidentally BTE after the stealth window ends. You also have to be very reactive to CP generation and Ace procs during stealth windows to get the most BTEs off. I think outlaw really belongs in either hard or very hard. I play feral too and it doesn't feel any more difficult to play than outlaw, even though I only just started playing it recently and have been playing outlaw for years now.

I am a destro main and agree they are on of the easiest casters. I consider them the Rets of casters. That being said, I don't really get the video's narrator comment about destro's instant abilities. I guess you have your odd Incinerate proc and Conflagrate charges, but those are hardly damaging abilities, they are mostly shard builders. You also have portals if you spec into them, but their charges have long CDs. Your bread and butter will always be Chaos Bolt which, at most, you can only reduce the cast time, but you'll always have to cast it.

[@meta3323]

Nah, affi deserves to be in the hard category. Jinx talent helps, but if you kick anything besides soul rot affi is locked down. All of our magic is shadow school.

Druid is undoubtedly the best healer in 10.3. I think RDruid is hard to rank here because it is very good at zug healing at lowCR to midCR (1000~2100) but more advanced teams have a plan to shut down druids. Druids have to be masters at PreEVERYTHING and knowing when pushing in for a clone is good and when it will lose you the game. Druids have to know when a stun is coming and hope the guy you pre-hotted doesn't get swapped. Druids also have SO many buttons they have to know when to press. I guess what I am trying to say is, in the right hands Druid is a monster that will make Mglad players rage, but it is easy to get hardstuck because bad habbits that carry you from 0 to 2000 wont work at high CR. I would say druid is actually very VERY easy at low CR and the hardest healer to unlock the full potential to reach high CR. It is hard to rank. It feels like melee sheik. Braindead easy at low level and nearly impossible at top level play. correct me if you feel different

[@iceyy0998]

Man feels like people still don't "get" aug in pvp. Thier buffs were never huge in pvp as it was, but ebon might got massively hit in PVE and it carried over to pvp. Their personal damage capabilities are fairly high but they have a burst profile, so overall damage tends to be lower. But especially since they don't really run prescience, their actual damage increase to partners is very, very low now. Also sure, they have access to a number of spell schools. Too bad 3 of their top buttons lock out all of them at once like chaos. Well, they don't lock out Azure strike I guess. Yay?

[@eikes.1985]

Agreeing with the whole list but I don't think RDruid is "very easy". Either you have have to shapeshift alot to keep going / being tanky, know to use your healing CDs because you heal mostly with HoTs and timing them wrong means your mate dies or to shine with certain comps you have to chain multiple CCs. Of course you are very mobile can shapeshift and kite, but it comes with alot of buttons and timing knowledge. That said: When you know the class it is very powerful.

[@AnAdoringFan]

Agreed, outlaw is harder than feral imo. I've been playing outlaw for years and recently picked up feral and it feels so much more chill to play than my outlaw. The biggest struggle for feral is fakecasting clones and trying to stay alive. But the damage is so much easier to pull off and far less punishing when compared to outlaw. The rework makes outlaw even more punishing than ever because if you mismanage your globals during dance you put BTE on cooldown and then you can't use a stealth window until BTE is available again. And blowing vanish or dance with BTE already on cooldown is a huge damage loss. This is on top of already managing all the spinning plates (RTB, slice, blade flurry) and CC.

Destro would be hard, if it wasn't constantly pushed towards boring dimensional rift gameplay. The back to back bolt build was so much more exciting and rewarding to play. It took setting up buffs and procs, managing DRs and debuffs, positioning well, and then applying proper CC, all so you could get that perfect window to cast 4+ really fast chaos bolts in a chain. Now you no longer can do that. Now you press dimensional rift and apply immolate, to unlock 80% of the damage potential destro has.

[@earthlingjules]

Yeah, you can no longer do that because of constant double melee training you every round with their infinite stuns, interrupts, micro cc's and gap closers. Mobility / CC creep has lead to this passive damage playstyle in which you must use immo and rifts to contribute any damage.

[@Kanoog]

Yeah, play a Druid they have a variety of builds you can play the one with Moonkin form that way you are able to put out damage similar to a priest but you have the options to AoE heal like crazy, you are super mobile and it takes a bit of a learning curve to understand the transformations. I think it's worth it, you can also make it easy and just heal bot but I don't like that way. I played Holy Pal and I like the feeling of bursting with my team. Also you could try Fist Weaving Monk, I have that too, it's fun but I hate getting RIGHT in the action to deal damage in melee range and I kept forgetting where my damn port was to port back. The druid also has not only 4 specs but a ton of builds for each spec, Resto has plenty to choose from too. Just DON'T give up on it right away like I did twice... I quit during Burning Crusade, transferred my druid to a second account and gave it to my RL friend. And again for DF, got to max level and quit the druid to play Monk because well I didn't like the shifting part haha. But once I got use to it, it's defiantly my favorite healer now. Long story short, I recommend duird and putting in the time to learn how to be offense with it is my suggestion.

[@Galaord]

A very important thing to keep in mind as a healer, is that your job isn't to keep everyone topped up, but to keep them alive. Even if your teammates are at 30-40% HP, if you're doing a good job you're keeping them alive through a lot of damage while helping setup for kills with CC or contributing your own damage. You should always think of HP as a resource, and as long as it doesn't hit 0 and you don't let it hit 0 you're doing fine even if your numbers on the scoreboard or details say otherwise. Also for most healers keeping someone at 100% HP often means using up a ton of mana which will make you dry out in the late game and lose due to being OOM.

[@jyster18]

It is much easier now because of the changes they made this season. Simplifying the damage rotation for disc, makes it easier to dish out damage, while simultaneously making it easier to heal as disc priest. Essentially you keep atonement up, put shields on teammates, penance on CD, and keep purge the wicked on enemies, and renew on teammates. It's alot more simple compared to what it was before. Having access to pain suppression while caught in a stun is also a very very good thing as not many healers have a big damage reduc button that can be pressed in a stun. And rdruid in a sense is easier to play than all other classes. You only have 3 buttons you mainly need to maintain, and a few others that just enhance what you already have up on your teammates. Rdruid is by far the easiest. You lifebloom, double rejuv, and regrowth when you get clear casting proc, and then swiftmend to extend hots. and its a rinse and repeat by not letting any of your hots fall off. easy chill playstyle

Most of what Ret gained with the rework was arena ineffective AoE/cleave that was nerfed, nerfed pvp talents, and nerfed defensives. Ret still has single target damage, not the best but ok damage, so people just push their cc buttons and kill the Ret. Ret is quite less tanky than DH, all locks, all priests, all healers except Holy Paladin, all tank specs, it is not the God impowered and protected spec lore would suggest it to be. Just a worse warrior with less mobility, no mortal strike, no disarm, and forbearance locking out main defensives.

playing affli is the most soul destroying class ever

[@manthe3711]

I disagree. Playing against it is soul destroying, especially as a healer. But it's also the only DPS I play, because it's hilarious to 5-DOT someone, literally copy-paste it with Soul Swap, and destroying the entire enemy team with Darkglare.

@@soliddilos5205 My point is that people like you seethe about DH without knowing anything about the class. Just like that BM hunter. Playing BM and complaining that something else is brain dead is a joke. I'm not saying that DH is hard to play but the rework changed a lot of things. Currently DH has a 15 button opener but ignorant people like you still insist it's just blade dance and win.

How do they manage to keep making DH more broken and braindead than before? Truly amazing Blizzard.

[@OutlandishOW]

It’s literally not more braindead. It is way more complicated, did you listen to the video? It’s just busted

[@janparkki5704]

I was kinda hoping there'd be something easier than DH. Been playing one since they came out and haven't gotten more than barely 1600 =) Interestingly enough I got exactly the same results playing subtlety as alt for two years. Somehow the nominal difficulty of a class doesn't seem to affect my maximum performance playing it. Or does this just mean that late-season 1600 is so low it can be reached with exactly zero skill - regardless of class or spec? Would explain a lot except of course how it is possible to play a game for 19 years and learn nothing =)

[@jon630]

Depends on the season, but last season ended with 1900 starting mmr. So hitting 1600 right now is roughly equivalent to hitting 1900 at the end of last season. Hitting 1600 late season is basically just a matter of queuing enough games for most people. I think the bottom mmr you can get is around 1400, so 1600 is probably somewhere around the 20-30th percentile?

[@janparkki5704]

@@jon630Yes, that sounds about right. I've been pretty much watching every video and reading every guide, but something just keeps me from getting higher. Been the same last 16-17 years. In random bgs I meet many players I can win, but when I switch to rated content, pretty much everyone kicks my ass. I am thinking about hiring a real-life coach to come play with me in the same physical location. Less drastic measures have proven to be ineffective.

[@Mphx321]

I recommend playing only one class, and immerse yourself heavily into its fantasy and gameplay style. To play for 19 years and be 1600 to me can only be explained by swapping mains way too often. Play what you enjoy and master it. Learn your rotations like the back of your hand, so you can damage without even thinking too hard.

[@janparkki5704]

@@Mphx321 I really wish that was the case. However, I played enh shaman almost exclusively until Legion, and then 90% of my play hours have been on Havoc. There is something more sinister at work here. Unfortunately, I just don't seem to be able to put my finger on it. Maybe some professional feedback will be of use here. I most certainly am not going to give up. In fact, I've decided to spend as much real-life money on it from now on as is required to get at least average results. We'll see if I can find a new approach.

[@Mphx321]

rogue, mage are easy, funny and strong. not playing these is crime.

[@Rikmyers]

I don't think destro is easier than aff since destro requires more cast than aff, also warlock overall is hard to play because of lack of mobility. In this case mage wins at warlock because mage has more mobility. I'm trying so hard to master aff or destro lock, but i get sick of this class i come back to my dh

[@Quothnor]

I am a destro main, but I have to disagree on destro not being easier than affli. The challange of affli is micromanaging your dots, especially since your spender is directly tied to the number of dots on your target. It's also not really a bursty class, which isn't that positive in PvP. That being said, I don't really get the video's narrator comment about destro's instant abilities. I guess you have your odd Incinerate proc and Conflagrate charges, but those are hardly damaging abilities, they are mostly shard builders. You also have portals if you spec into them, but their charges have long CDs. Your bread and butter will always be Chaos Bolt which at most, you can reduce the cast time, but you'll always have to cast it.

[@Rikmyers]

@@Quothnor I got your point bro, and I bet you're br so you can reply in portuguese if you are so. That reason why I think destro difficult is precisely its cast time since immolation, incinerate and chaos bolt take up to 1 sencond to take as you're focused on 3 melee on your side. Casting is such a bad thing devs must've created, but affliction, on the other side, is way weakest than the three specs because dots doesn't give much dmg than an insta dmg like destro. I'm trying demonology since it has been received a buff.

[@placeholdername3206]

You're out of your mind if you think Mage is easier to play in soloshuffle than all 3 Lock specs. You go on Mages cause if the Mage isn't good, they just run all game, do little damage, little CC and just die. You go on the Lock to interrupt their casts because if you don't they do overwhelming mounts of damage to your entire team. Yeah it's easier to kite on a Mage, but actually contributing with damage and CC is the problem.

[@Bitinukas1]

rdruid is the easiest - totally dissagre. maye from R1 perspectives

[@cypher0124]

I agree rogue hard and warrior super easy and warrior can counter rogue so its really frustrating. However as a whole I avoid solo shuffle like the plague makes me want to uninstall.

[@crucialfailure3062]

Feral ferocious bite hits for 400k against someone fully geared… so hard

[@ukotaa]

Oh wow, so finally you have to respect feral's dmg, so unfair!

[@ootsie194]

To do that you have to ensure you have all 3 bleeds up (ideally buffed by tigers fury) and then have enough excess energy pooled to gain the full additional damage from saber jaws). That's a lot more to like up and manage than a lot of other melee classes. I love how you talk about a single ability and not the rest of the druid kit (that requires a ton of keyboards to play optimally), not to mention the difficulty of running/kiting/surviving with weak defensives in a patch where every class is cranking huge numbers. Weak AF argument.

[@tomastykal4870]

fire mage hard? I am just spamming prots and winning

[@RobertoVillaLobby]

Ele is definitely not easy. I have multiple macro's that cast multiple spells at once and still at 24 binds (with the current meta build). Yes you have some instant damage but it's not going to win you games just spamming that. I feel like you need 4 hands to play this spec.

As a warrior main since legion, it's not hard to pick up. But to master in pvp it is an art. You have to constantly chase, know when to run, peel, wall, run, pressure. All of which requires you to mainly know what you're opponents abilities do so you can deal with them. But I will say, once you know the counters and how to play them. It's zug time
