Always appreciate your videos. Thank you for all this recent content.

I like how Fury isn't even on the list.

Mage doesn't feel inherently difficult as a class; it's mostly in the hands of the user. Any mage can poly & burst, but a lot don't use it when it matters. I know that any person who's been PvPing since Arena was released originally can tell you the same thing, if you encounter a "good" mage, you will know it.

hunter is extremely hard, literally no way to prevent damage since deter barely works and they're super squishy. you never see them in arena because they're trash

Fun and insightful. Thank you so very much for putting such quality in your video. Much appreciated

Oh cool my only two toons in wotlk happened to be the two most difficult. Man I'm a badass

13:51 pretty weird take lmao

Easiest is Unholy Dk. Largest part of their damage is from clicking one button to summon Gargoyle, then having a handful of get out of jail free cards for playing badly. Gargoyle does so much damage, that most players have to los and wait it out. It’s kind of just an annoying gimmick.

Honestly to anyone who is gonna main a hunter: be sure you know what you are getting yourself into, because if you dont play right you can wipe raids. great example is the lich king fight, such annoying shit as a hunter in my opinion.

Gotta disagree on destro lock. You are almost always the kill target on opener and pretty damn squishy. If you aren’t the kill target, sure yeah simple rotation.

What is that addon at 6.42 ? Your debuffs above the target's plate. One is bigger one is smaller.

Destro is extremely difficult to play due to pet management and pets being too squishy. Once your pet dies 2 times, you're basically dead.

I would honestly say that destro doesn't really belong in easy, I would say it's moreso moderate. Sure the DMG is nice, but 1 thing has always been consistent with destro, setups. You're not really gonna get dmg off without a setup, you also only have 2 schools unlike retail. If you get kicked on fire you can't do any DMG, corruption doesn't really do anything. Chaos bolt is fire school in wrath. Having access to tools like instant Shadowfury and backlash is most certainly helpful however but I wouldn't say makes the spec easy. Their defensive end is really great and next to perfect into casters, however with soul link you still take a truck load of dmg from classes like rogues, warriors and of course a casters best friend, death knights. Managing your pet is also very important, no pet, no soul link. Remember in Wrath we don't have the pet command Move To, meaning it's tougher to position our pet well and they die very easy. You'll also play felhunter more often than not simply because being able to purge yourself and team mates as well as spell lock AND blanket silence enemy casters/healers is just far too good for succubus to compare.

Can ya'll make on on skill ceiling aswell, not only how hard it is to play it. That would be great!

Ty Ezreal

using their criteria, MM is the hardest, the ceiling and floor have a massive differential, it has arguably the most binds in the game, and is just as squish as mage.

i had 8 level 80 characters i pvp'd with in original wrath. as well as a high warlord sorcerer. in battlegrounds funnest is warrior paladin combo. or solo mage or warlock. in arena my favorite comp was rogue mage priest. that being said while some classes are harde/easier to play that doesnt mean it will be easy to climb the leaderboards. i agree mostly with ur rankings btw

Im so confused, whats the resto druid spec showed in this clip? Feral charge is something i havent seen from resto druids since tbc. Cheers

Frankly I've found wotlk shadow priests to be pretty easy. Imo it's easier than Enh Shaman, but that might the fact that Enh. gets countered pretty hard by arms warriors, one of the most popular classes in that expansion, making it a bit frustrating.

what addon is the ele sham using at 8:40 to get his healthbars to look like the retail ones?

Shadow word death is a geat way to attempt to avoid a sheep/blind or to get your prayer of mending to jump to a different target, i found it to be quite useful so idk why you dismissed it

Also another thing about Feral's is that you need to be behind a target to do big damage. If people play right against feral's it makes it hard for us to shred the target.

With destro lock you also play with fellhunter alot in arena cause of dispels.. + is hard cast not alot of instant cast

You forgot about assassination rogue

Where is preg pala?

Avenging wrath is spell stealable in wrath.

This is all pretty damn accurate.

Blood dk?

Is preg considered as prot pala in this video? Thanks for answer

Did this man just say that enhancement shaman is the easiest melee class and name them first?

I know bm is super strong s5, but please outta nessicciity.. can BM still be strong in s6 early s7? paired with a enh sham ofc! i dont wanna just lv bm and have it good s5 then not good s6 s7.. so are they atleast ALRIGHT decent/fine? thanks!

In 3s destro is almost always going to be playing fel Hunter

how destro lock can be easy ranged? Hardest pet management, only 1 ability for defensive and escape...

step 1 get PvP Brutal gladiator gear

Was fury warrior in here?

Holy priest not even mentioned lol

The part where you guys show prot game play and prot pala well that was half ret half prot spec called preg so that wast even close to what prot gameplay is 😂

my firts time playing wow I was chose rogue XD

What about the demo lock?

I’m so new to wow. Do you guys think playing DK as my first class ever would be difficult ? You start at level 55 so there’s a huge content jump I’m assuming. Also any tips or tricks to help me get started would be greatly appreciated.

Ferals never get a good explanation on why they are good in any tier list/hard, even for PVE. I assume it’s bc of how little people actually play the class. They’re warriors, rogue, and healers combined in one, and are the most mobile class in the game. Difficult part is knowing which gcd to press in every situation you’re in out of all of them that you have.

I don't agree with the skill floor of Ele being low. First, they have a ton of different abilities to bind, and practically everything has some niche use. This is especially true for totems, where you will want different keybinds not just for your abilities that can drop multiple, but also keybinds for individual totems. You will mix and match depending on what you are facing, and constantly having to manage them on top of everything else you are doing. How you use your abilities is completely different from PvE and in a 1v1 you'll find yourself using things like Lightning Shield against melee or using Magma Totem to help damage a Rogue while you are stunned and then using Fire Nova since he will eat you quicker than you can eat your mana so you might as well. You will be dropping specific resistance totems depending on what school of magic an enemy caster uses. It makes me think of a fighting game where you have to learn your matchups well (there is a lot of knowledge required for the skill floor). I've seen people take entirely different approaches to deal with something tough like an Unholy DK, which is fascinating. It requires fake casting, and you won't have the chance to just turret spells.. you have to set up situations in which you can get burst in. There are multiple abilities for keeping distance, and which one you use at a given time matters. Shocks share a CD so using one locks you out of the other for a few seconds. You can do practically everything at any given time and knowing when to heal, damage, purge, drop a totem isn't really intuitive for new players... plus some of it can be matchup specific. Positioning is really important and you don't have a huge defensive CD like other classes do. It isn't very forgiving if you make a mistake. There is a lot to the spec, and while it could be argued a lot of this is related to the skill ceiling I would argue that nailing much of this is necessary to be effective... meaning a higher skill floor. Just my opinion but I've had better luck as a beginner with most of the "difficult ranged" than I did trying to learn how to play Ele.

As a Wotlk Vet, i agree with the list besides 2: Arms is hard to master with a pretty high skill ceiling, Shadowpriest should be placed easy, its easier than ele sham for example.

I dont speak English Very well ....but i would love to assign

You are sadly mistaken about shamans overall.

As a mage, I approve. Thanks for the ego boost

RuneScape own disc

This video explains why I sucked at WOTLK PvP (i mostly did PvE). my two classes, rogue and mage

yea destro can melt shit but needs cast. And trying to cast thru all the kiting and interupting is the whole story..

I just want to Arena and do RBGs that leveling stuff and PVE is boring

what is with furry warr?

I have rank 1 feral druid teaching me on the private server im playin

Kinda have to disagree on ur Categories I mean just so you don' t have as much options doesn't means ur class is easier. The opposite is the case more cooldowns and more options means you can mess up more! Like Uh vs Fdk for sure you have less Cooldowns. But Unholy diseases can't be dispelled you have much more reliable slow And extra protections against Magic. Also the Garg is range so u can just put him anywere. Enhancenent however needs to be carefull with mana is easy to kite and squishie especialy when your wolfes are down. Since your spirits provite your Speed buff and root removal and also heal you. Your spirits are your best and pretty much only real tool of burst and survival. To manage that and survive between this Cooldown 165 seconds isn't easy. Arms warrior gonna stomp the low elo with pretty much faceroll into enemys face playstyle. And Rage managment is less important than u think! Also u don't usually pummel you shield bash since you can macro a shield sword makro so you do not have to switch stance. Maybe play wotlk arena first lmao!

The rude awakwening of nostalgic players wanting some pvp once the wotlk private server PVP fanatics take over 🤣🤣

And for the holy priest?

Boomkin, mana manage while doing dmg and off healint, go and stop go, using non instant CC, shapeshifting. And low dmg while no starfall. Is the hardest ranged by far, moreover is the worst ranged for arena..

resto shaman is not bad, especially in 3v3.

yes especially Ferals and assaiin roges Real hard to play, Run down one target in 2s and you have a high win chance, use other spells somtimes to the other target and thats it lmao.

so like...what about demo tho

bm hunter is easy mode im taking classes way higher level then i am with beast wrath/kill command burst in bgs.i just press my burst macro throw in a few arcane/aimed shots and its gg the pet does the rest. i will argue that ele shaman is the squishiest i seam to be getting insta nuked by every other class and cant do to much about it which i can survive on my bm hunter much longer and burst them down faster.

true

I'm kinda unsure of frost mage being harder than deslock, passive tankyness but is it so strong vs geared people? I think lock do way better vs casters as mage can cope vs melees

I stop the video when he said enh is ez

did I miss something or was fury warrior not mentioned? :)

Ele doesn't have dispel protection, it has a mini-lust. You should always dispel flameshock because the only threat of doing so is a fast hex, which isn't much of a threat considering hex has a 45 second CD and 20 yd range. Lbolt does 1k damage non-crit for a 2 second cast time. Chain lightning is only gonna do average damage unless you crit or proc overload. Frost shock does ok damage for an instant cast. That's why shamans and locks were always a thing, the lock gives the shaman dispel protection. You dispel flameshock and the shaman is gonna lose 50% of their damage since Lburst won't crit. Ele is bad at many things btw, most of all living vs melee cleaves which is 90% of the meta (DK+anything). Also, their CC is terrible. Hex, thunderstorm, earthgrab. That's it. Windshear is good, but its still worse than blanket silences with locks/spriests/mages all get (and mage/lock still has the long duration interrupt built in). Ele is also the only caster without a stun which is a massive downside. It's mobility is also average at best. Ele is also the only caster with no defensive CD. No stoneclaw totem doesn't count lol it's a 30sec CD priest shield, I mean an actual defensive. Our only "defensive" comes from being stunned/silenced, so it does nothing when people just pop CDs and burst. Your self/peel is a root, which anyone can just counter CC you on, and a knockback with a longer CD than every gapcloser in the game. You are pretty much 100% reliant on your team to peel for you if you get tunneled, which you most likely will because you are so easy to train down. The main strength of ele is its burst if you can get it off, but that requires the other healer to not dispel and you to freecast. Every other cast can do good burst too with those conditions, but can do the same without those conditions. Also, ele is good vs mages because of purge, low cd kick, grounding. It's not good vs dot classes because they will just rot you down until you oom while they pillar hump. Ele can't do much of anything vs pillar humpers because almost all your damage is hard-casted. And it's not good vs melee because you will struggle to get any casts off. Vs any feral/rogue, you literally can't do anything. Vs any good dk/war/enhance it's pretty much the same. Your mobility is worse than mages/boomies, but better than priest. It's better than lock in some ways but worse in others. Lock's just port out instantly, shamans can sort of outrun people eventually but take damage the whole time they are doing so. Ele also has the worst healing of any hybrid. Fastest to oom and most hard-cast reliant for the least healing per cast. But people cry that ele is OP because they get "one shot", except when you look at the damage breakdown I can guarantee you the mage/lock/boomy/war (all of the most common ele comps) are doing more than the ele lol and bursting harder than the ele. Hell even shadowpriests can burst as hard as ele with full dots then mindblast+death crit. Ele has tonnes of nieche tools, so it supplements other classes well. But ele itself is pretty lackluster in most aspects of the game (cc, survivability, mobility, actually getting their damage off). Ele can be summed up simply as, if you fuck up once you're probably dead, or so far behind that you can't catch up. If you don't believe me play one, I played mage/lock/ele back in original wrath and ele was by far the hardest to win with. It's skill ceiling is definitely high, not as high as hunters, but more so than any other ranged in the game. Mage/Lock by far the easiest. Then boomy. Then spriest. Then ele. Then hunter.

First I've ever heard of resto shaman being bad. I remember them being badass in wrath

The reason mage is the hardest class is bec they have the skillset to outplay every other class(meaning that the class have much more buttons to press if taken advantage of), also they have the best abilities in the game when it comes to cc. If you start maining mage, you will become a better pvp player in general.

Paladins are easy to start but they are incredibly hard to play at good level. Shield for each party member, freedom for each party member same for hand and for bop and dispell. That is already 15 buttons in 3s for a basic utility. Same applies to healing spells and everything should be pressed almost with no delay.

Where is holy priest?

"Resto shamans are hard because they suck." Playing as resto shaman was much more easy and fun for me than playing priest. Shamans are tankier and much more mobile - huge advantage for survivability.

Wont warlocks just get absolute demolished by any dk or warr setup? 2 very popular classes also, every class is "easy" if you just look at the PVE component of dpsing, idk how you could consider this class that will just get absolutely rolled as easy, I'm not a warlock player btw, I just roll warlocks, and it feels unfair what I can do to them.

No Demo WL?

Enh Shamans are far from the easiest. In fact they are one of the hardest along winth feral.

For the first time in a long time, and I hate to say it but, the guys at skill capped don’t know what they’re talking about anymore.

what about fury warr, demo lock and blood dk? :D

I should have gone hunter. Playing boomking. And after 15 years of playing. I still havent learned my lesson. I cant play that class. 🤣 So..start all over and grind too lvl 80 next week.

hardest: rog, mage easiest: bm, assa,

balance has one of the highest burst in the game, multiple ccs/ knockbacks, basically cc immune and can heal... they are a powerhouse.

I play both rogue and warrior and the warrior is definitely a lot harder to play than rogue in arenas.

all are accurate just moderate melee clases are easier and more overpowered than the ones u put on easy mele xd

Bruh you skipped demo lock :/

Destro lock ez ranged? roflmao

Imagine saying enh sham is an easy melee kekw

Clearly these people haven't played enhance in 3v3

balance druids are good wtf

i pay 80 dollars for acess at wow for 1 year so?

Lots of BS. as someone who plays spriest, aflic/destro lock, ele shaman, I can say that spriest is hands down the easiest caster to play perfectly. After that is Afliction, lots of room for errors with affliction. Destro is hard, if you make one mistake, you'll get interupted/chain CCed to death. Also you always gotta keep track of where you pet is

Ele is hardly easy. Earthbind is 10.5 seconds, can be dispelled, DR's and can be hit with immunities. Your ghost wolf can easily be dispelled, and astral shift is weak when you face many double DPS comps. This was obviously produced months ago, and as wow has over time things change as new information is produced. Also obtaining gear is far easier as a whole. Ele relies heavily on your partner(s) and their decisions. 40 second hex is another abilitiy, but again is 40 seconds CD. Locks in general are also difficult, both ele and lock are two specs almost exclusively that lack any kind of fail safe or defensive CD. Mages have iceblock, sheeps, blinks, invisi etc. Nearly every other spec has some form of defensive that can entirely change the game if they are near death. It is nice that this video can cover a ton of different class CD's and such, but in depth its wrong.

Mage is hard ? In Wrath when the meta is build toward RMP and cleave ? I dont know what are you smoking but it seems soo good bud

As a lock main I’m happy to see affliction as one of the hardest. I would disagree with frost mage being hardest though, yes it has a high ceiling but it is a pretty simple class. Not to mention it has some of the craziest cc and control in the game. I played both classes at 2k and was glad on my mage and I found aff warlock to take more planning, skill, and management with pet. That’s not to say Mages are easy because they prob are top 3 skill ceiling classes in the game. A good mage can easily 1v2 most people easier than most classes.

There is no arena EVER as a ele sham you will be able to free cast... Be prepared to be bait all day every day

Its funny that you talk about prot paladin twice now and you're showing preg. Just curious, do you know that there is 3 different dps paladin specs in wrath? 1. Deep Retri 2. Deep Prot and 3. Hybrid Retri and prot called Preg? I would say Preg is the easiest followed by prot and then Retri requires abit more to it than the other 2

so sad resto isnt that great.. its such a cool healer. hpally is so lame compared to resto

You know WoW PvP has hit rock bottom when the "PvP is balanced" channel gets more views than Skill-capped. Yikes.

Wrath has the best class design exept some minor stuff that may be better in some future expensions for some classes. Look at unholy dks rotten groud or the brilliant simple but indeth ret, just a beautiful expansion the people designing it overdid themselfs and where never the same

Rogue here is not for little kids

The money back guarantee that they advertise for their guide is kind of a scam/false advertising. If you do something for 6 months, even if you're bad at it, you'll improve, so there's no way they're ever giving you your money back.

Ret pal moderate? He must has own category, for people who have claws instead of hands.

feral & rsham will be top 2v2 comp s5
