Mage 2 buttons map burn job done 🔥
I think the more important factor for 'grandma specs' or easy specs in general would be APM. My dad plays MMOs and hes 67 years old, he has no problem with complicated rotations but what he does have problems with is classes that require you to essentially play piano for the entire fight. He has arthritis in his left hand pretty bad. This has led to him prefering to play caster classes in most games, and in fact he mains Black Mage in FFXIV and loves it.
Also if you google easiest spec for WoW you find that in the body of the posts they are usually asking which classes have lower APM generally. Not many people really feel like WoW is a complex game, the most complex specs on this list are just a step above the ones considered brain dead honestly. Just something to consider.
aug evoker should not be on easy
it's one of the class with the higest skillcap in the game
do the same for mele dps please
Great explanations. Really was awesome to listen to.
I agree with the whole list except Devastation should be higher in my opinion. I definitely think it's easier than affliction and demonology.
beast cleave is the only thing that matters for bm.
Adding class and spec complexity are the low hanging fruit for the developers. More effort and creativity is required in making complex or varied environments and encounters. Class complexity for players follows a similar path as product choice for consumers. Too little is underwhelming. Too much is burdensome. Both cause fatigue.
Perhaps a better way of understanding this impact is by understanding that progression based games are a journey. Like going on a three day hike, you'll want to be equipped and prepared for the trek. Whatever extra you bring will weigh you down and add unnecessary discomfort. The greater the burden, the greater the discomfort, the less you'll be able to absorb or enjoy the journey. Except as a gamer, you have the magic to blink your eyes and instantly return to the comfort of your home. You can stop instantly. For a slim slice of people, pain is the enjoyment. However, most people aren't masochists and aren't going to come along for that kind of ride.
Everytime its time to chose i go to beta and try every class. Then i chose 6. After pre patch goes life i go down to the 3 i want. My main and 2 alts one only for pvp and the other one hopefully with a tank or heal specc for some low m+ play 😊
It’s amazing how many people want an easier spec, yet specs in this game seem to get more and more complicated as time goes on.
Think you might need to lose some weight man, every time you sit down you’re causing a mini earthquake!
More tiers for the god of tiers.
Thank you, kind Flame and his trusty companions who are always share the same pride. Pride of being unique through all the WoW content excavators.
Hooray!
You keep repeating this and I legit don't understand why, FIREMAGE IS NOT HARD TO PLAY probably one of the easiest specs in the game, i do not know why you think it's hard!
The rework is never ‘done’.. they need us to play test since they don’t.
fire mage hard ? 😆
Give Demo Metamorphosis back blizz.
The hardest thing about elemental shaman, unfortunately, is trying to get into m+ pugs and convincing your mythic raid's leader why elemental shaman isn't a wasted spot (it is). Always a fun spec to play as an alt though.
where is your tank vid before ? love your work, keep on !
I think they need to make something like automated rotation possible for a spec, like you configure a macro (in a way easier way, not like typing a script) with the caveat that it takes a certain delay between each action, so you allow more casual players to roll with that. I personally love Fury warrior and the high APM yet dumb rotation it has, but I cant see myself playing the same spec at 40 years old with a creaky hand.
I don't know, I don't think the pinnacle of skill should be having to press 8+ buttons consistently, but then again, I wouldn't force every spec to be 3 buttons either, but giving players options should be the ideal
Is Balance getting another rework? Looks very underwhelming
Elementals getting reworked so we may need an update to this video soon
Interesting takes on the difficulties. I personnally rank Affliction warlock way higher because I can't do DoTs management without WeakAura, while I never needed it for demo to click. Beside that, I can't seem to get Destruction's AOE rotation.
Arcane mage got quite streamlined and is a lot more accessible than before, so as a fan of the class fantasy who never couldplay it right, I like it.
Ty I needed this
Why a new channel? they're all the same videos
They should bring back Surrender to Madness and old void form… Legion shadow priest was the most fun spec i’ve ever played in entire wow history
Just remember a lot of people are handicapped / old / arthritis etc …. So it’s really good that some classes specs don’t have a high degree of complexity and are easier on our hands for those of us that love wow and want to participate in end game without being branded terrible …
People like us don’t play the classes / specs we love the fantasy of we have to choose the easiest for our bodies to somewhat keep up with healthier people with good hands
I just sense in you that the classes that are easier to keep up rotation on are boring to you and you feel all classes need complexity
There has to be some classes with at least one spec for people that are disabled or arthritis hurts really bad etc and we are thankful for those and maybe devs understand they have a certain percentage of people like us and keep 2-3 specs that don’t have a lot of complexity or timing for us and that’s a good thing
Arcane Hard now ? 😅 its easy
Augmentation has a easy rotation yes but it is not that easy in a raid scenario because of the cd managment.
Hey I’m quitting mage for priest and I maimed frost mage so cool seeing shadow and frost at the same level. I like shadow a lot more than frost and what is all this bad mobility coming from? I finally found the macro that lets you cast feather at your feet so my mobility is great.
I mean, let's be honest. Every ranged DPS spec is easy compared to melee.
Blizzard: reworking things daylie
Marcelian: Here's your daylie video that is already outrdated when I publish it…
blizzard need to take there heads out of hunters arses
Amazing video
Here's hoping for an ele rework so arcane can go back to being the most complex spec.
Elemental Shaman is just so damn visually pleasing to me. I love the lighting especially. The feel of controlling the elements. (Would like a better earthquake visual tho)😅
Its just a total vibe to me. ✌🏾
Can you do a 'fun' list again? Subjective, but for us looking for a new main potentially, while numbers are moving, fun is a good qualitative metric.
J'en vois des tiers list inutile mais celle là … C'est tellement subjectif et avec une variance tellement énorme …
I watched this video to find which is hardest. I love the complicated specs which force me to focus hard.
Booking scks , I hate what they did with it, why would I ever play that spec over anything else, it's not juste the damage , it's the core gameplay, it looks like it was made by someone who has never played it. It's mind buggling to me
Love your content but i sincerely hope the guy at 4:41 was joking….
i also loved legion shadow and constantly fighting to stay in void form. miss that playstyle.
For how easy BM spec is, it's shocking how many pug bm's I end up with who don't know how beast cleave works and just don't press multi-shot. I've had explain it to random people 6 or 7 times in the beta already. I dunno if they're classic players crossing over or what.
Its not only how many buttons you press, it’s how hard you get punished if you hit a wrong button
I haven't play retail in years. Im playing cata fire mage now. What class should I play in TWW if I want a ranged class that is around the same difficulty or easier than cata fire mage?
Go play classic easy game naaabs
Btw, I don’t know if you meant probably playing Stormbringer for Ele or not, but if you play Stormbringer, you don’t take Lightning Rod bc it’s given to you by the hero tree
