Affliction main here. It's a myth that Aff is a hard spec to play. Wowhead is right when it says most people consider the spec to be hard but the rotation is actually easy and smooth as butter. It's also a lot less dynamic than other classes' rotations meaning once you learn it you learn it. DoT management in general can still be a pain but that is really the only 'hard' thing about it, making sure your important DoTs don't fall off and you refresh them at the right time. Destruction Warlock is easy to pick up but as far as I know they still have to worry about PuG tanks pulling mobs out of their rain of fire. The Havoc mechanic also requires a bit of skill to get used to as it's not based only on logic but also instinct. And in the beginning of expansions they often do really poor damage (like D or F tier damage) but hopefully that will be better in War Within, I don't know.

I'd probably push Elemental Shaman up to S-tier, personally. The gameplay feels awesome, as you pointed out, but they bring a host of new things to groups as well. Skyfury being available to all specs is huge, first of all. Shamans can also talent into a number of group survival mechanics, such as being able to put Earth Shield on targets and using Healing Stream Totem not only to heal, but to reduce damage taken by Frost, Fire, and Nature damage after being healed by it. They also have some general group utility, albeit a bit weaker than others might bring. For example, Wind Rush Totem, one that a lot of groups love, the OG Bloodlust, and Tremor Totem are some unique abilities that they bring to the table. They also get unique mobility in the form of Spiritwalker's Grace.

I disagree with the Affliction Warlock position. I started playing it as a newb a long time ago and was told "don't do that one it's too hard". Now, I have people in my guild ask what buttons to push and how to order everything because they cannot understand how I can get all of my DoTs up on 5 targets without using Vile Taint. LOL. Practice. The last dungeon I ran through (which was for an event because I hate dungeons) my guild member told me I was top damage. I don't run any add-ons (never have) and I just usually run around in the world helping others if I can. I was happy that I was "top damage" for about 3 minutes. LOL. That's how long the dungeon was.
@H2ydrogen29 күн бұрын
There's a giant difference between easy to pick up and play and master. BM hunters are NOT easy to master. Sure, a somewhat easy rotation, but your utility is up there with warlocks. There is so much you can do in every situation and if you don't you will simply not be a viable pick for group content. I've played since 2004, hunter is my main and I've hardcore raided mythic on all classes. Fury warrior is the easiest to play by far followed closely by ret paladin.
