Regardless of how laborious the World of Warcraft Dragonflight devs strive, they’ll by no means have the ability to completely steadiness the sport. With that stated, right here’s what the group thinks are the toughest specs to play within the newest enlargement.
Based on gamers in a Sept. 13 Reddit thread, 4 specs stand out as the toughest within the sport proper now: Arcane Mage, Self-discipline Priest, Outlaw Rogue, and Enhancement Shaman.
Arcane Mages have traditionally been often called one of many simpler specs with their rotation boiling right down to solely a few buttons. However in Dragonflight, their rotation turned extraordinarily lengthy and convoluted. So right now, you need to play Arcane Mage completely, otherwise you shouldn’t hassle in any respect since you’ll be on the backside of the DPS charts.
“Arcane mage at one level had a 31 line OPENER, adopted by a 25 line burn part, adopted by a preserve part or one thing,” one participant defined.
One other spec that gamers are calling extremely advanced and laborious to grasp is Self-discipline Priest—the one spec that heals by dealing harm with little to no direct therapeutic buttons. Exactly due to this, it’s good to have a deep understanding of the sport and encounters with the intention to play your cooldowns round it.
“It’s the spec that require the extra information total since it’s good to plan the whole lot 10s earlier than it occur whereas doing mechanics,” one participant stated.
Enhancement Shaman is sort of difficult to play as properly, particularly in a Mythic+ surroundings the place you have got quite a few brief cooldown spells, procs, and you need to juggle all that whereas nonetheless doing the mechanics. Apart from that, the rotation is sort of lengthy and you need to be taught it by coronary heart to maintain constant DPS.
Lastly, Outlaw Rogue, which is sort of much like how Enhancement Shaman performs, revolves round completely different procs, and you need to be fast in your fingers to make the most of all of them, or else your DPS will endure. It’s a fairly excessive APM spec, and it will get much more overwhelming when you need to make a sequence of snap selections whereas nonetheless attempting to finish the encounter correctly.
General, just about all the above-mentioned specs share one trait—lengthy and scripted rotations you possibly can’t actually diverge from if you wish to preserve constant DPS. Self-discipline Priest is a particular case as a result of it’s extra of a planning spec, the place you need to take even the tiniest particulars into consideration. Be warned when you’re planning on taking part in these specs; you have got fairly a studying curve forward.
