What is the MOST FUN DPS in WOTLK Classic?

now when talking about what's the most fun dps spec in wrath of the lich king classic it's very subjective and your idea of fun and my idea of fun could be two very different things you might consider it fun to spam one button like a warlock in tbc for example and top damage meters at the same time or you might prefer a more complex rotation like a feral druid where ultimately the skill ceiling to actually perform well is a lot higher but then you feel rewarded for it when you do perform well one where it's not a set in stone rotation and it's filled with procs and fun mechanics that just make it feel fun so i'm gonna give you my top three dps specs in terms of fun when it comes to wrath of the lich king classic some of you will be surprised that feral druid doesn't actually make the list because if any of you have watched me for any length of time you know i've played a druid for 17 years now and don't plan on changing now but it doesn't mean that i don't have fun on other classes but before we get into all of that just a quick word from the sponsor cyberpower if you're fed up with playing on a potato and think it's actually time to upgrade your pc ready for rafa the lich king classic look no further than cyber power with cyber power you can use the pc by game option to simply pick world of warcraft and have a pc expertly built for a low price which is built with world of warcraft in mind if you wanted to get more into the nitty gritty you can use the build my pc tool and from start to finish with five easy steps you'll have a fully custom pc built to match your needs simply click start your build choose whether you want desktop or laptop of course we want desktop choose a budget that suits you for example purposes let's go for 700 pound and see how much bang for our buck we can actually get pick one or multiple games that you like the look of or that you intend on playing what brand do you like amd intel if you've got no preference simply select them all and now are you in a rush do you want this pc tomorrow are you happy to wait for something fully custom let's see what we can get tomorrow because i don't like waiting and straight away we're greeted with two options one's over budget but maybe you're happy to stretch the extra couple of hundred pounds for all the extras that you're gonna get like a more powerful graphics card and an extra eight gig of ram you can further customize these by adding or taking away anything you want or you can simply add it to the car and then decide if you want to pay all in one or take advantage of the finance cyber power offer even though it's a uk based company it is worth mentioning they ship internationally and whenever i've mentioned these guys on stream everyone raves about how amazing their services and the quality builds they provide so up first is the frost dk now all dk specs are relatively fun but i really enjoy the fast-paced action of dual will frost waiting for those killing machine procs so your next ic touch hell and blast or frost strike will be a critical hit howling blast on its own is just a very fun ability on the basis that is instant cast and it hits everyone around so seeing those big numbers can be very exciting and then even looking out for rhyme proc so it increases the critical strike chance of your icy touch and obliterate by 15 and casting obliterate has a 15 chance to reset the cooldown on howl in blast and cause your next hell healing blast to consume no runes so it can be extremely fun to press hailing blast into an obliterate get lucky and it procs to be able to howl and blast again it's just really rewarding but because it's fast paced and so proc driven you're constantly having to look out for something you're having to do something all the time it's not just stand there press one then two then three rinse and repeat you're always looking for that next proc whilst managing your runes and whilst also trying to keep your blood runes as death runes to further increase the amount of obliterates or the amount of howling blasts that you can actually do as well as checking for your diseases to make sure that they're up all the time even using pestilence to spread them around to everybody else there is just so much involved with this spec it does really really make me happy when i'm playing it so if it makes me happy while i'm playing it i'd say it's pretty fun all of that on top of the fact that you can queue for five-man heroics in pretty much full dps gear and just go frost presence in this spec and hold aggro and not really take too much damage again something really fun about the spec whilst i also recommend that you don't go in with absolutely zero defense in five man heroics because you are gonna put your healer under pressure when you're massively over geared it's gonna be a lot of fun in like four tier seven bits just to a running five-man heroics is a dual-wield frost dk but you do feel like you've got a lot of control as a frost dk as well and you bring a lot to the party with things like horner winter just bringing strength and agility bringing the improved icy talons so you're giving all your melee 20 haste having an interrupt on a 10 second cooldown or even a silence on a two-minute cooldown having so much access to self-heals all the self-healing you do because being in blood presence to give you that 15 extra damage you're also going to be healing yourself for four percent of your direct attacks all the time it's just an absolute beast and let's not forget about death grip i mean death grip's just fantastic as well just try not to troll your tanks with it i think the class that comes in at number two might surprise you the most because it's probably one that if you do watch me stream you know i probably play the least but the fire mage once you start getting decent amounts of crit is just absolutely amazing nothing comes close to hot streak in terms of fun anytime you score two non-periodic critical strikes in a row you get a hundred percent chance for your next pyroblast to be instant cast so as you've got lots of crit just banging fireballs in seeing your living bomb explode and then being able to fire off instant cast pyroblasts is absolutely amazing this on top of having so much aoe as well still with things like dragon's breath which targets a cone in front of the caster doing x amount of damage and it disorientates them and of course being able to use blast wave but on top of this if you decide to take something like fire starter where you're damaging blast wave and dragon's breath have a hundred percent chance to make your next flame strike instant cast and cost no mana you actually become an aoe machine so for those real quick short bursts of ads that spawn and you can just jump in blast wave dragon's breath into an instant cast flame strike it is a lot of fun but as i say for me the biggest fun factor comes from the single target dps whilst it may seem quite slow paced in comparison to things like the frost dk it is just that hot streak that makes it feel so good there is nothing better than going instant cast pyroblast couple of fireballs instant cast pyroblast and you're just watching that ignite tick away and just watching the enemy take ridiculous amounts of damage but like we went into with the dk it's not just that that makes it fun being able to spell still really really cool abilities to buff yourself having invisibility so you can potentially not have to run back when the rest of the group wipe having so much control hard cc's like polymorph and obviously just very very high amounts of survivability i mean you can even get really cool things like blazing speed of course which gives you a 10 chance when you're hit by melee or ranged attacks to increase your movement speed that can be quite fun very nice situations where you'd actually need it but either way it's still quite fun when it goes off overall for me if i was going to play a ranged dps class in wrath of the lich king it would be tough to choose between the mage and the class we're about to talk about next but i'm referring more to individual spec fire mage for me is miles and miles away from playing an arcade mage or a frost mage i would put fire so far ahead of the other two i find the other two quite boring it's only really fire that i really really enjoy but again remember this is only my opinion on the most fun specs so what is the other one i would struggle choosing if i was to play arranged dps between fire mage and the demonology warlock there's something about demonology that i absolutely love even if affliction and destruction done double the damage of demonology which they don't i would still want to play demonology i love the cooldown metamorphosis where it transforms you into a demon you gain some unique abilities it increases your armor by 600 damage by 20 it reduces the chance you'll be critically hit by six percent and reduces the duration of stun and snare effects on you now some of the unique abilities you get are just so cool like being able to put up a big immo aura charging into the boss with your big fell guard with you because of course you'd be using the felguard and that's another thing that makes this spec fun the felguard is a really cool pet out of all the demon and hunter pets the felguard is the one that i actually enjoy using because i don't really enjoy pet classes overall to be fair this is just a very unique pet that absolutely slaps but it's not just metamorphosis and felguard that i like about this spec it's the fact that you bring demonic pact which increases everybody in your raid spell power by 10 of your spell power when it procs as well as bringing tons of other utility like soul stones and health stones or being able to summon but i see that as a downside i hate summoning as a warlock i mean you warlocks are probably used to it but i can't stand it it makes me feel really bad typing one two three and chat so often but the most fun thing for me from demonology is the rotation the rotation is really fun and the procs that you get are just really really cool like molten core which not only does it increase the duration of your immolate it also gives you a chance to get the molten core effect when your corruption deals damage so what this does now is for the next three charges either using incinerate which increases damage done and reduces the cast time or soul fire which increases the damage done and increases the critical strike chance now this just synergises really really well with another talent which is decimation which is when you shadowbolt incinerate or soulfire a target that is at or below 35 percent health the cast time of your soul fire spell is reduced by 40 percent for 10 seconds so just the fact that it's so quick to cast when it's under 35 percent health and it's free to car so you haven't got to worry about soul shards it's absolutely amazing and it does so much damage when you get to that 35 sort of execute phase we'll call it and literally all you're doing is keeping up your corruption your mla and just spamming soul fires into the target it really really is amazing and you'll just watch your dps climb so hard when it's under 35 percent but when you're getting these two synergize together where you're getting your molten core procs increasing the damage of soulfire and the crit chance of it and you're casting it under the decimation effect it's just really really fun and as i say i'm picking the free specs that i just think are fun there's certain aspects to them that just make them really really unique and i think this is quite unique when you start casting off those big big big hard hitting spells even though it is for the final third of the boss fight let's not forget as well though demonology is very tanky just in general you know getting things like soul link where your pet's going to take 20 of your damage getting your improved stones so your conjured firestone and spellstone increasing the effect of those by 300 with master conjurer and even having demonic empowerment which when you're using the felguard it increases the felguard's attack speed by 20 and breaks all stun snares and movement impairing effects and makes your felguard immune to him for 15 seconds now demonic empowerment does have an effect for all of your demons but obviously you're going to be using felguard 99 percent of the time as a demo lock overall these three specs really i do consider the most fun specs to play in wrath for the lich king the frost dk will be for you if you like fun fast-paced action looking for procs getting big crits on multiple mobs spreading diseases being able to summon a goal loads of cooldowns loads of utility for your melee dps or the mage if you just like seeing those big single target numbers but also being able to do some real great burst aoe as well as bringing all of the normal stuff that you expect to see from a mage or the demonology warlock if you like turning into a big demon yourself getting up close and personal and doing some really really big aoe whilst in metamorphosis and huge single target of course all the time as well but then when it hits 35 you just start popping off big time the most fun healer video and the most fun tank video
