Highest skill cap class?

[Soisoisoi]

Guessing you're a salty rogue.

Why would a Rogue be salty about DH being a high skill cap? I'd love for more classes to have higher skillcaps.

[SLSAMG]

Cata demo locks followed by sub rogues.

[Metallourlante]

Probably brewmaster monk

Rogues kill demon hunters in 1vs1 without any problem. As Outlaw Rogue i never lost duel to or BG 1vs1 to DH.

[Lime]

Demon hunter

Single target abilities at 100:

Chaos Strike (Fury dump)
Eye beam (45 second cooldown)
Fel Rush

Thread asked for highest skill cap, not lowest. DH is literally an auto attack class until it can dump fury.

[shaunika123]

Rogue by far the LOWEST with warrior

that would be true if those 2 classes were the only ones existing

even if rogues arent that difficult(but i mean what class is?) hunters are literally a 2 button class
the skill floor for rogues have been reduced a lot but the skillcap didnt really so yeah it is easy to learn but still hard to master.


my personal vote goes for feral druid tho, in pve that is

in pvp it's probably shadowpriest or outlaw rogue

[Asrialol]

BrM monk. Feral isn't hard anymore. I see people chose Priest.. What.

[LiiLoSNK]

All incredibly simple. Probably enh shaman currently in pvp.

[Flaks]

Sub Rogue
Enhance Shaman

Sub is so stupid easy it's not even funny. Assassination is substantially more difficult especially since the exsanguinate nerf.

But there's still classes that are even lower on the skill cap. Lowest is probably bm hunter.

Leather melee are overtuned in pvp both at 100 and 110 probably to make up for the cool new kids on the block. Feral, ww monk, sub rogue all eat just about any other class up without breaking a sweat. Their only competition is each other. They even make op tanks look weak.

Mut has way less mobility and burst (after nerf), but its still probably not much more difficult. All current rogue specs are cake and can 1v1 pretty much any other classes in the game with some dificulties against tanks/good aff locks.

You aren't going to find an answer to this. Skill cap comes in the decisions you make with the spec's abilities and ways you can improve your play within these decisions.
A class can have literally have 2 abilities but if those abilities effect enough decisions in raids they can be the highest skill cap spec to play.

The only answer that is 100 percent truthful is that a healer and a tank have a slightly higher skill cap now than DPS because they can also top the DPS charts AND do their job healing and tanking if you play it right.

What talents did you play with when you decided Feral is easy? With Lunar Inspiration, Savage Roar, Jagged Wounds, and Bloodtalons, it's one of the most blistering specs I've played in this game. For reference, I played early Cataclysm (before haste from Firelands gear made it easy) Sub and Ulduar Feral extensively, I'd class this as on par if not above them in difficulty.

What's surprising about priest? Disc is without a question the hardest healer spec to play and shadow is amongst the harder dps specs to play, probably becoming the hardest when using stm.

Jagged Wounds makes it easier, almost removes Ferocious Bite. HT @ 5CP -> Rip -> Rake -> Shreds -> HT @ 5CP -> Rip -> Rake -> Shreds -> Roar, repeat.

.

in what way did the exsanguinate nerf make assasination harder to play?

power has nothing to do with difficulty

assa is just as easy as sub really(until 110, then sub will actually be harder than assa)

Jagged Wounds makes it easier, almost removes Ferocious Bite. HT @ 5CP -> Rip -> Rake -> Shreds -> HT @ 5CP -> Rip -> Rake -> Shreds -> Roar, repeat.

that's about twice as much stuff as other classes have to do, especially if you consider that if you really wanna get to skillcap you'll actually HT the right targets.

[Relapses]

Voted SPriest but I think Mage is a close second. And I know people like to rag on Mages for always being the OP FotM class, but the difference between a decent Mage and an awful Mage is often enormous and no amount of gear can make up for it.

[Deja Thoris]

I disagree strongly on shadow. STM is easy af. Dots auto refresh and you cast like 3/4 spells and can even move while doing so. Probably the most latency dependent spec is all.

[Koork]

Daemon Hunter is probably the most complex spec at the moment.

[Nayami]

Was pretty disappointed with DH tbh other than their ability double jump and glide. It's so boring right now with only two rows of talents. They could have made early access DH have all talents since we got a few weeks until release, while DH characters created on or after the 30th unlock all of their talents by level 110.

Right now it's definitely the lowest skill capped class, there are other classes at level 40-50 that are way more complex than the current level 100 DH. They look pretty cool at least, so there's that I guess...

Nowadays = none

In the old days it required skill to play a character. There was room to "skill cap" the gameplay.
Nowadays the gameplay is suposed to be dumbed down to the point of no mather how much skill you have you can't improve.

Unless you play world pvp and use consumables, engeniering and crazy items.
