Great video Vesp! Mained MM for years, took a break but came back in DF S4 to prep for TWW. Stepping outside of my comfort zone in an effort to keep me engaged and rolling a class / spec i never thought id ever touch, Fire Mage!
I’m really determined to change my main class for the first time for TWW, but it’s really hard to get into a new class! I’ve always been Holy Priest and I thought I would choose a Warlock or a Warrior, but after your video, I realize that the fantasy of these classes is not for me even if the gameplay is really nice, then I risk to play for a few weeks at most before returning on my priest, as always. Thank you for your suggestions, they certainly help me in my process!!
I will be Feral as i was for last 12 years. Burst is amazing, i am getting 800k bursts at 485il, never seen anyone do that even with 515 or they are just bad. Gameplay was pretty much always the same and i dont mind it.
I just got back into WoW a little over a week ago. I've been making classes that I've never played to really see what class I like best. I've always been a Hunter main since Vanilla. But since making a DK and playing it for about a week... I think I have a new main :D . I may even learn how to tank for PvE. Definitely best to just play them all and see what feels best for you.
Excellent video thank you. I just started playing WOW a few days ago and every other video I watched just says "pick whatever" Your video is really helpful because it broke down what classes do what and gave me a really good idea of what I'd like to try.
Me being just about every tank main, please we need more people to tank. I promise it’s not as hard as you think it’s mostly initial nervousness to overcome. In some cases it’s simpler than being a DPS in my opinion. I played Unholy DK for 4 years after WoLK and then tried Prot Pally/War to begin with and have never been much happier with the role.
For my sake I'll go with Enhancement Shaman, storm Build...obviously. My old main I played a ton during Vanilla-WOTLK. Looks and SOUNDS awesome with a storm build currently. Which is way more important than performance for me, never been a slave to any meta since it's so fleeting anyway.
Affliction isn’t a dot spec anymore, it’s throw out a couple of tickling dots then spam 1 button that feels like it does nothing. Shadow priest is the wow dot spec now.
@@flexterex6915 they do damage but MR has almost no visual and does almost all your damage - your dots don’t feel like they do any damage, and I thought it was supposed to be a dot spec.
Great video on picking your main! As a healer main 🤓 there is more variety on the type of healer as not all are pure reactionary. Resto Druid and disc priest, for example, are better played preparing for damage to come out. A good healer will know when damage is going out so even a reactionary healer, like holy priest, can keep their buttons ready to go when the damage finally lands.
Back to WoW again for new xpac... i normally get max lvl and ilvl in a few weeks and quit before new content and gear comes out. THIS TIME, because MISTWEAVER MONK is SO DAMN FUN!!! i think ill be playing for a while longer.
@blesk400 especially if you're a returning played and you don't scores from previous seasons...good luck! People get in to 5 groups in the first 2 hours of the season and then they act like they won some tournament.
"Play the specs you have interest in" - so I still need to play all the classes. Dunno why, but wow is really good with it's classes, so I eally don't know which one to play.
My druid (currently feral) has been my main since I started and will still be but I am really liking Frost DK and Elemental shaman. So those might be my 2 alt mains.
Great vid bro. Despite hero talents being total shit, rogue is still calling to me. Thank you Satinoo for keeping my hope alive. And disc priest to do some healing, despite it being hard AF. Looking forward to seeing what you choose!
Ive been testing a ton of different specs so far and i keep going back to arms warrior, theres just something anoying about most other classes for me. So ill probably main warrior for the first time ever lmao
I’ve always played feral for the most part as my main. DF for feral (at least from my experience) just felt almost unplayable in 3s, sitting on bear form every game. Makes me question if I want to stick with feral in TWW
My biggest advice is don't just default to dps! Dps is an extremely competitive role and being good at it means you need to get SWEATY. If you don't want to spend hours at a training dummy, simming your character feels dumb, and learning tiny optimisations for 0.1% more damage sounds exhausting, don't play dps! The world needs more healers and tanks, and they don't require getting as deep into the maths.
Id argue thats not entirely true, playing a healer is PhD level of gaming in high end content, timing cds and knowing boss patterns etc it requires an insane amount of knowledge AND practise, and you cant really practice on a dummy for that
Im always torn between my Spriest and Warlock, I am most likely to pick my warlock, as they seem to never set in stone how Shadow plays, i dont wanna end up having to almost relearn my spec every expansion because they keep adding and removing crucial spells.
How to pick your main: Step 1. Are you involved in a top tier raiding guild where you may need to swap roles? If yes, you'll be doing multiple. If not, proceed to step 2: Step 2. Play the same character you've played for the last 15 years
hi can u try to do a mm+ in boomkin drood ? checked all ur videos there isnt a video about bookim , since im maining it , i would like to know how does it perform in keys ? if u dont mind ofc !
I always like your M+ spec vids. You have a unique perspective since you can play all classes/specs in the game well. Love you content but thirsting for deeper dives from your vast level and beta knowledge. Maybe I'm wrong but I bet your audience is at least at a KSM level. Cheers!
Idk which class - maybe holy pala felt so clucky before, or dh/dk tank?(need to watch all the routes) Or freezy / fire 🔥 mage 🥶 there is the assasin rogue with the sepsis kills the enemys. 😎 or the 😮chaosbolt animations 😭 and shaman so sick 🌋 Mage are 3 cool specs, dh 2? , dk idk, rogue 1.5 , shaman 3, lock 1 safe
I have a question about the discussion on races. Is it important to play a race that has a higher damage potential than others or does it not matter at all? For example, does a Nightborne Hunter get into a group as easily as a Dwarf? I'm not actually of the opinion that you have to submit to a pressure when choosing, but there are still certain doubts with regard to inclusion in groups. Greetings from Germany btw. Love your content :D
Pick the race that looks cool. Just like class: your Race literally doesn't matter if you have to ask. The difference in dps is so trivial it won't matter as much as liking how you look.
you don't have to worry about race until you get into very high competitive type keys. Yes, some races have advantages in keys, like shadowmeld from night elves, to stoneform from dwarves. But the race isn't going to keep you from getting into a key.
It's hard to go by tier lists from these top rated players because their time to kill/pull sizes were totally different than everyone else farming 8s for vault each week. I'd love to see a "practical" tier list where long ramp classes are lower tiered than up front damage classes that can get mobs to 50% hp in a couple of seconds. Like s4 fire mage in an +18 vs a fire mage in a +8 on tyrannical are two totally different dps experiences.
But who cares about what's best in an 8? You can do every dungeon with any spec in under 15 minutes with just a moderate group. Multiple specs will do well at low key levels simply due to damage patterns. Best in an 8 will be the best burst since the mobs die in 10 seconds.
There's only so much you can garner from a tier list. I, as a human, can't perform the same as a top tier player. So something "less good" may outperform a top meta pick when I'm playing it. Which I guess is why it's always best to play what you're having fun with
@jojoheadshrinker24 Did you not read the rest of my point? Look into best upfront burst with little ramp like a monk if you want to run low keys ultra efficient. But my original point is the same you can run any 8 in under 15 minutes with almost any comp.
@@Jenkyllllls I ask for a tier list. You respond with "look it up". Ok, how about a tier list for 8s? lol. I'm aware any comp ever imagineable could +3 an 8. I don't think you can see the forest for the trees.
@@anabolix_ yeah i agree. I dont hace a hard time learning. Been playing since 2007.. but mage was many years ago. The class have never really interested me, same as rogue. Its now i start to get my eyes up for more mage. Ive been tanking and healing but only come to lower 3k rio. I only do pugs but thats because i cant seem to find a right guild 😅
Wow! This video has helped me PICK YOUR MAIN | How to ACTUALLY Choose Your Class! Thankyou so much VesperalTV! I noticed that you forgot to tell us what class is the strongest though? So not really sure what the point is? Hopefully thats covered in the next video! Absolutely poggerlydoggerlytastic video though my best friend VesperalTV, love you!!!
Tanks: spend the firt 2 seasons on wow getting flamed for not fully explaining mechanics. Spend the last 2 seasons getting flamed for bot going fast enough abd spending your time trying to take aggro off the dps who keep pulling.
Idk what to pick yet i want a meta class ( im not going to wait 30 mins for a pug m+) and i want a class thats also easy to play so i can actually focus on whats going around. Im leaning to bear but would like a dps aswell.
Don’t chase the meta? Play what you like playing ? Good luck getting invited in +3 keys. Every scrub invites the meta even though they are doing low keys. The right answer is not play what you want, the right answer is play what class you prefer playing from the meta classes. Trust me and save yourself hours in LFG.
I’m stuck between 3 classes currently (Frost mage, Destruction/Affliction warlock and my vanilla ret paladin that has progressed sometimes as a main other times as my number 2 but always there since the beginning of wow) still struggling to nail it down to one and then I also have my shadow priest on the periphery.
Great video Vesp! Mained MM for years, took a break but came back in DF S4 to prep for TWW. Stepping outside of my comfort zone in an effort to keep me engaged and rolling a class / spec i never thought id ever touch, Fire Mage!

this made me lol
MM for life! Also, great vid!
Solid choice!
Can't ever walk away from a mage :) might have a few alts though
Top notch content geeeeeezah!
Thanks fam!
You can heal without a thick skin if you have something like death note
My biggest advice is don't just default to dps! Dps is an extremely competitive role and being good at it means you need to get SWEATY. If you don't want to spend hours at a training dummy, simming your character feels dumb, and learning tiny optimisations for 0.1% more damage sounds exhausting, don't play dps! The world needs more healers and tanks, and they don't require getting as deep into the maths.
Id argue thats not entirely true, playing a healer is PhD level of gaming in high end content, timing cds and knowing boss patterns etc it requires an insane amount of knowledge AND practise, and you cant really practice on a dummy for that
After you become an expert in 3 tank classes, and know basics in all tank classes, you can try healer.
Good video- just for feedback: reactionary doesn't mean what you think it does
Have always been a warlock main.
Im always torn between my Spriest and Warlock, I am most likely to pick my warlock, as they seem to never set in stone how Shadow plays, i dont wanna end up having to almost relearn my spec every expansion because they keep adding and removing crucial spells.

Play S tire if you want in any meaningful content other wise it doesn't matter😂
