Up to where are only core abilities sufficient?

[Deleted]

I personally cannot cope with too many abilities on my toolbar even if I keybind them. So, my question is:
If I rely solely on a DPS class' core abilities, up to which dungeon difficulty would that be good enough, if any?
I will use CD abilities when they light up, but I will never be good enough to time them at exactly the right moment to get their full potential.

I am happy enough that LFR is my end-game, so talking about 5-man pugs here.

Then pick the passive options in the talents. That's what they are there for.

You should be happy that they're pruning abilities in Legion, then.

Question: do you use macros? If you know how to set them up/use them properly, most classes/specs don't have all that many things that need to be keybound.

Glad I don't LFR or 5-man pug.

from looking at the class abilities in wowhead, it seems that Frost Death Knight will be the less ability class... You literally play with 3 abilities + 1 for aoe. You have a 1 min cd which you can macro if you dont like to push it separately.

This lends to the conversation how?

It suggests an implication of being complacent with being a mediocre player.

so far my prot paladin is completely devoid of too man buttons. so much so that it is a very boring play.
