Which class/spec is least reliant on CDs?

[pkm]

For example ret is almost completely reliant on having wings up to do anything. But which class is least reliant?

Mage for sure.

I think Warlock..do they even have dps cooldowns? :P

Doomguard, Metamorphosis, Demon soul... Especially Demonology is reeally dependant on cooldowns.

I was thinking more of affli warlock. But yeah, Demo has some cd's.

That is very untrue.

The least reliant on cooldowns, hmm. Arms Warrior or Frost DK doesn't really need cooldowns in order to keep up their pressure. Defensively they do somewhat rely on AMS/IBF and Shield Wall, though.

Hunters?

Shadow priest? Do not think they have any CD except archangel )

I'd say enhance shammies

Enhance shaman?

Shadowfiend and Archangel, both provide a significant DPS increase.

I'd probably say Huntards. Yes Rapid fire and Readiness leads to huge burst but they also sustain really high too and could pull decent dps without them.

I think to answer that question you need to know which classes have short active duration powerful cds on long cds because obviously if a class has a long powerful cd, in order for that class to make good dmg/dps it will need to do good dps on the short term as well.

Therefore I'd say enha shammies, destro/affli warlocks (demo has meta and demon soul which usually go togheter at around each 2-2 mins + doomguard but that's a long cd), arms warriors (only deadly calm it's a short cd, reck is 5 mins), feral druids (are a bit more reliant then warriors because I find tiger's furty better then deadly calm, with berserk on a long cd as well). I think shadow priests as well, not sure though.

I don't have 85 hunter/rogue so I can't say much about them.

Enhance shamans have wolves, which give a movement speed increase, stun, and are pretty good damage

[Christan]

assassination rogues have vendetta, pretty much the only one, vanish is for energy regen when you break stealth, not to useful. though getting a second bleed up on a boss is nice rupture and garrote...

least cd reliant? how long of a cd?

moonkin have treants which are weaksauce on bosses, nice against clothies in pvp, though between shrooms surge and starfall...but those are short cd's...


ehh way i see it, classes either have a few long cd's or a lot of short cd's, so really it depends on what you mean by cooldown.

how long, is long enough? would being a bit short count to?

There is no class whose performance in PvP is not tied to managing some strong cooldowns.
