Top 3 EASIEST Classes to raid on in WOTLK Classic

in wrath of the lich king you have some classes that require complex weak auras or a whole array of add-ons buff tracking externals from other classes and a wide variety of intricacies to play and then you have the specs that provide equal performance or close to equal performance whilst being much simpler to use today we're going to talk about what i consider to be the top three easiest specs to play in wrath of the lich king now remember we're not talking about highest performance we're talking about rotations being simple general mechanics of the class being foolproof elemental is one of those specs that seems like it could be complicated totems dot tracking procs instead ellie sharman is one of the easiest and most relaxing classes to play in wrath of the lich king it offers a simple rotation throughout most of the expansion maintain flame shock keep lava burst and chain lightning on cooldown and fill with lightning bolt mana issues may require the occasional thunderstorm and please make sure you glyph it so you're not accidentally eating people off the map and you may even need to use the occasional mana potion that is in essence the rotation of an elemental shaman when it comes to aoe as an elemental shaman it really is as simple as using chain lightning which offers huge cleave potential and then your aoe comes from the burstiness of fire nova paired with magma totem both magma totem and fire nova on cooldown will offer consistent aoe damage throughout the expansion elemental shaman follows a similar trend to what it did in tbc they start incredibly strong going into knacks and really are a contender for number one dps spot despite the simple rotation they however do fall off and they fall off pretty hard as they go through the expansion being middle of the pack by the time you reach icc there really are minimal changes to the rotation as the expansion progresses through the phases and the tier sets typically just enhance the general feel of the spells so why play an elemental shaman we've talked about just how simple and easy they are to feel comfortable on positioning and your cast as abc's which means always be cast in will increase your uptime and dps significantly reincarnation allows you the very unique ability to rewind a fatal mistake and come back to life bloodlust or heroism depending on whether your hoarder alliance is a staple in groups and resistance and cleansing totems bring huge utility to your raid all in all the class phil is the elementalist wielding both flame and lightning to strike foes and i think aesthetic alone will get people playing this class next up in terms of easiness and please try not to laugh at the one button macro that's been flying around for the past well 15 years the rep paladin rhett has various levels of skill to it at a simple level rep follows a priority system of abilities in short judgment's your highest priority skill and therefore as soon as it comes off cooldown it becomes your highest priority to use consecration is one of your lower priority skills you still want to use it and you still want high up time but not at the risk of sacrificing judgments this means all in all whilst it doesn't follow a traditional rotation rhett doesn't have a complex rotation by any means it does have the potential for some fanciness in terms of mim maxing dps correct seal choice for the fight can influence dps quite heavily and keeping up that seal of vengeance on multiple targets if it's a two to three target fight can be very rewarding and of course things like positioning so you're hitting as many targets as possible with divine storm using a vengeance raft just before a judgement to ensure maximum usages but they're all small things that will make a difference to your dps but not massively to the point where you need to be able to do all of these things exactly right or you're going to be useless rex are not only one of the easiest specs but specifically easiest meal is where better positioning can quickly see your dps being punished spells like hammer of wrath judgment and exorcism having a higher than mealy range means maintaining up time isn't hard lay on hands and bubbles allow rhett to either ignore mechanics entirely or recover from a near-fatal mistake red skill in raids is not typically shown on a dps meter of which they will feel pretty lackluster until around toc or icc phases but by the utility they bring to the raid and how well they use it maximizing all of the utility rats have is what gives some degree of difficulty to the paladin spec so in terms of being that really extra useful paladin who's using all of his abilities there can be some complexity but in terms of just playing the basics of the class to actually do dps in a raid they are one of the easier dps specs to play next up is the assassination rogue so the assassination rogue on a simple level has a very basic rotation maximizing up time on buses to maintain poison then two buffs to maintain in the form of hunger for blood and slice and dice which is easily maintained through combo point spending and then keeping him venom buff active for as long as possible in aoe assassination rogue is easy as well on five targets a simple fan of knives spam to get poisons on everything allows for great success on less targets rotate through and keep poisons on as many as possible maintaining the single target rotation assassination rogues are a steadily high dps spec that has top of the chart peaks in dps being exceptionally good in tier seven the complexity of assassination road comes in two forms utilizing rogue's endless cooldown arsenal to maintain as close to 100 uptime on bosses as possible secondly knowing and understanding the concept of energy pulling this is when you allow energy to recharge outside of an in venom in the effort to quickly reapply another application of the buff to make sure you've got enough energy to actually use multiple mutilates and of course maintaining up time on the invent and buff is extremely important but overall rotation wise you're only pressing two or three buttons and literally staring at an energy bar there isn't that much involved in fact when people ask me on stream what is the easiest class to play assassination rogue is one that i very often reply with the thing is with the assassination rogue even if you're playing it badly your damage is still gonna be very very good i would argue a bad assassination rogue will be able to out dps most other classes and specs that are actually being played fairly well so why play an assassination rogue aside from its simplicity to perform well rogue has the true bag of tricks to deal with most scenarios the boss moves quickly sprint to the boss the boss casts a spell you need to avoid you've got cloaker shadows the group wipes and you want to avoid the repair cost vanish rogues are literally the definition of versatility you get everything we've mentioned before and the fact that you can maintain massive single target dps your only downfall will sometimes be smaller group aoe i was just going to leave it at the top three easiest specs to play but i also want to give you some honorable mentions because all we've spoke about is dps if you want a tank and you want to play the easiest tank spec the bear druid would be my suggestion with a simple swipe mall mangle lacerate damage kit bears offer a very simple way to get into tanking their mitigation often comes from exceptionally large health pools and just brute forcing their way through content this means someone looking for an easy or simple time may find not having to plan cooldowns on a bear very relaxing that's not to say that you haven't got cooldowns you've got cooldowns in the form of survival instincts and bark skin but you really are a big meat shield but due to the simplicity of your rotation or your abilities that you've actually got paired with the fact that your threat is just exceptionally good on both single target and you can hold your own on aoe you have plenty of time to think about those cooldowns a bear can clear all content and are seen equivalent to or slightly above prop warriors in the tank rankings they have a one button aoe threatened swipe and as for single target you're stacking five lacerates using manga and moles and you'll be top threat for the entire fight the complexity of the spec if you are looking to try and expand your capabilities as a bear comes in the form of shifting so going cap for phases when you don't need to tank a tranquility or off healing during particularly heavy healing phases a battle res on a fallen teammate it's all of these things that you react to or you plan in advance that will make you shine but in terms of just easiness to play the feral tank is an easy one and then if you wanted to play a healer i would say the holy paladin is the easiest healer to play this spec specifically the holy light version it offers high efficiency powerful healing with practically nothing else to worry about iron man management with seal of wisdom and divine plea beacon and sacred shield offer awesome tank stability and wings really does turn holy paladin into a powerhouse again similar to the rep paladin the holy paladin needs to learn how to use the full range of kit and the utility that you've got to truly master the spec as a basic level holy paladin can pump with minimal effort so if you've been scared and i always say this if you've been scared of trying to get into healing you've never healed before you want to go healer in wrath i think a holy paladin is a good choice there are complexities to it and there's things you'll learn along the way that will make you better than the holy paladin next year but on the surface you can do very very good healing without trying particularly hard if you enjoyed this list be sure to like and subscribe for lots more
