See you guys again in 2 weeks when I will totally not have changed my mind and will absolutely not be playing 3 completely different classes!
Me: “Hmm it’s between arcane and mm for my main”
Izen: “Fuck specifically arcane and mm”
How you chose: Look at tier lists, sees rogue and priest in S-tier, picks those
Love your content! Thanks for not having bloated bullshit intros! I will be concentrating on my druid and shaman. But also want to keep a destro warlock up in shadow lands!
F for my survival boys
I am a simple man. My druid has been my first ever character that I created back in 2008 and will always be my main. When I started raiding in WotLK I healed at first, but soon I found the joy of tanking and have never looked back since. I've been enjoying my bear since WotLK no matter how boring or weak others find it and have always managed find a position in normal raiding whenever I wanted to (filthy casual RP'er here).
Everything else after my druid is an alt for me and I alternate depending on my mood, although I play my pally (cuz she can tank) or DH (cuz she can tank AND I love the melee animations) more than others. I have one of each class across two servers (spread between alliance and horde) except for warrior.
I have played monk through the good and bad i love ww and had to learn tank if i wanted to get gear from raids haha so i had to get two sets.
Bro wats this intro song
I´m going to main my Warrior (most because of PVP) and a Mage as my alt for pve content. My thoughts are, that i´m just a casual solo player, with no real friends in wow (LFG best friend). In the evening, after work, i just want to log in and have fun. I dont want to stress about my gameplay, i just want to log in and do want i want spontaneously, for example having an exact time/day where i need to log in for a raid like a fucking doctors appointment (especially on weekends when i want to go out with my friends and girlfriend, except now in corona time) or to carry responsibility as tank and getting flamed from a whole group when losing aggro. So thats why i like more arena and m+ over raiding its so much more spontaneous ( considering that m+ over +16 doesnt interest me that much, because there are no more rewards for that, just a rating from a third party website) I always was a type of action fast paced player type, doing big damage and to compete with others, who is the better player, who is number one on details dps meter. So i mained a warrior in bfa, loved fury, popping the big numbers, fast paced gameplay and execute everybody with arms in bg´s and arena. And in pve in the end i just mained arms because of the haste corruption, and how much more dps it made instead of fury. But the whole time i missed something "magical" you know. I´m playing a fantasy game, and the warrior with no special effects got me bored, so i lvled up my mage which i mained in mop and it was a lot of fun, porting and blinking everywhere and playing frost in m+ also. So my plans are concentrating with warrior climbing the ladder in arena, and playing pve at the beginning is a must of course. And with my mage just doing pve, for the variety. But i am concerned more and more about the proc based gameplay of frost, still having fun with in shadowlands. The other classes i thought about trying or leveled up a bit, i think that these classes need way more time and practice, and are not really good as alt for a casual player. They need to be mained, so i jus stick with these two… I could wrote a lote more about my way of thoughts, but i dont think you read til the end, but big thanks for you to making these videos!
this was just a creative way to flex his galaxy brain
I also figured 3 characters was the right amount. I've decided on Ret Paladin, Sub Rogue, and Frost DK but I'm not sure which I'll main. I hate healing and I've never liked ranged much so while these choices aren't super diverse I find them all really fun.
It's so nice knowing my best friend has similar thinking process to me.
I want to like monk soooooo bad but I just can't get into it: sincerely a Prot Pally and Arms warrior player in Shadowlands
You're so fucking salty lmao "hunter has only 2 specs, feral druid was deleted"
11:40 dooid
I'm thinking two to three characters as well. I'd like a ranged dps, melee dps, and a healer. If I take a hybrid I might only need two characters. I'm thinking either DK/Shaman or Rogue/Priest, or Rogue/Shaman
Cheers mate ,for the originality
1st main: warlock
2nd main: dk
My guild is having our meeting to decide on classes soon but I'm planning on playing a DPS shaman and a DK or warrior.
dude this is perfect, i have rather reluctantly landed on sub for main and ww for alt. would rather it was reversed but scaling 🙁 looking forward to more videos on these classes from you
Gonna main Dk, can't decide about second character, choosing between rogue and shadow priest and maybe the mage, but still gonna play only 2 chars. I really like ret but don't want to have 2 tanking characters. Don't know why but I didn't like warlock, mb should give it another try
@Izen Hart What covenant are you leaning towards for your Ele Shaman? I'm stuck btwn Venthyr and Night Fae for raiding mainly because of the mobility they offer
I will go with druid, guadian and Balance for m+, Restro for Arena and pvp. Because i fear that twinking will be a pain like in bfa. Also druid is in leveling and farming really smooth. BR, heal, instant mount, stealth.
Why do you despise MM Hunter?
im planning on maining feral alone for mythic raiding and M+, what are your thoughts @izen Hart !!
this thought process was actually rather helpful
Druid is for me. Cause i can do whatever i want quality of life…
I love the intro.
Havoc 3-4 buttons? Demon's bite, chaos strike, blade dance, eye beam, glaive throw (before eye beam for the conduit), immolation aura, glaive tempest (likely the aoe go to). 7 buttons. Is that really that much more simple than the majority of dps specs? Up to 9 if momentum becomes the meta.
I use a pretty similar rational when I choose a main and I landed on a priest with a monk alt.
Hunter does have 2 specs, Survival and Marksman =3
Shaman,Monk and debating on playing a third but not sure what. I want a melee dps for m+ that has low downtime and will actually be viable im not sure quite what to go with if anybody has some recommendations they would be welcomed(High mobility is a plus)
Loved the video.
All good points as well.
One thing I would say though regarding guardian druid. The basics are indeed very mind-numbingly simple and boring, but in my opinion it can me the most thought intensive tank once you start getting deeper into techniques like cat weaving with guardian.
Historically for me I always loved playing druids, but I think the class will be dead for me in shadowlands, balance is a boring rotation and mechanic and I never much enjoyed healing.
Resto Druid for M+, Resto Shaman for raids, every Pala specc for the lulz
6:28 -Warrior rage quits
7:10 -Mage freezes over
9:00 -Hunter misses the mark
10:23 -Demon Hunter was not prepared
11:37 -Druid gets kicked from the group for being Feral
13:37 -Paladin is smote
15:22 -Warlock asked to stop giving candy to other people's children
16:37 -Death Knight death at night
17:58 -Shaman surprise
19:25 -Priest rework finds another fan
20:09 -Monk kung-fu WAS strong enough apparently
21:41 Rogue is clearly the best class in the game, folks 🙂
Thanks for all the content man, its very appreciated!
Hi Izen, I'm new to WoW and I'm planning to main a Paladin, but I haven't decided on my alt yet. I want a ranged dps, but I'm very picky on that. Currently my eyes are on a Hunter, but I'm not convinced.
Bro are you me? That's exactly what I'm playing.
Main: Lock
Alt 1: Warrior
Alt 2: Mage
Honorable mention DH if time allows to pvp on the side.
Galaxy Brain!
I watch these main videos even though I already know what I am playing.
Great video. Best music choice.
I prefer the insults…..
Good vid, I'm including pvp in my scenario….
I really love your point of view. And I'm happy to have a similar process on choosing main.
I did I process like yours and ended up maining a DK for raid, Monk for m+ and hunter as a 3rd pick.
My only problem is choosing between frost and unholy…
Galaxy brain lmao
Rofl at…Hunter being like the DH in having only 2 specs. You are my go-to channel for wow logic. Thanks for the hard work
I’m only going to play one character, so I’ve been putting a lot of thought into it. My heart says to play Windwalker monk, but my head says to play Unholy/Frost DK. At this stage, I’m leaning towards DK.
Izen but you are my only friend wtf are you talking about? 🤣😅😅😅
What are the add-ons u use?
It's crazy to me that you dislike all the specs I like and like all the specs I dislike.
