The Cataclysm Classic Pre-Expansion Patch Arrives 1 May

S4 Elite PVP Set - Not Updated to Reflect Winning Tier? PVP Community Forgotten????
MMO-Champion
Just wondering what the consensus is on which spec is the least RNG reliant in Legion.
Is there such a thing? If Outlaw Rogue is the extreme end of RNG reliance, what would be opposing class with zero to little RNGesus involment?

DPS class with the least RNG associated with its success?

Hmmm
Outside of outlaw, all the classes seem to have switched to priority based rotation instead of the old 1234123412345 style system

BM hunter. Only one rng spell proc. Rest is all just cooldowns.

Subtlety rogues have very minimal RNG to them. Minor energy refunds and consistent passive combo point generation is the only thing out of your control.

Shadow is actually pretty straight forward, only RNG part is Auspicious Spirits.

I'm not sure if you mean rotationwise or damge output wise, but you could do simulations with simulationcraft's sample profiles and look at the dps distributions.
For example, if you simulate Outlaw rogues you get sim values between 230k and 420k while for retribution you would see values between 250k and 330k.
These simulations should be taken with a grain of salt, but it does show whether the spec has potential to vary a lot, or if it's a more steady output.

I'd have to say Windwalker monk is the lowest RNG spec. Just about every pull I see myself doing the same numbers and if they fluctuate its because of some error on my part in dying, CD usage, etc.

Yeah, I play a WW monk as well. Only thing that affects dps is the number of targets( can I cleave on a boss and use cd's for this), up time(some mechanics do favor ranged.) and of course fails on my part. Originally Posted by Xerroth

Just no until they fix the mastery snapshotting. Getting the SFC proc is as RNG as it gets. Originally Posted by Embriel

Not unholy... Have to agree with the people saying ww monk and spriest (especially the former). I play the two as alts and there is really little to no inherent rng in either spec.

WW monk from what I've played has like 1 proc, and that doesn't really change your rotation all that much when it does happen

I'd also say WW monk. The spec manages to be fun, engaging, versatile, and non-reliant on random procs.

Enh is also pretty RNG reliant with their Stormstrike and Windfury procs. I'd say they are even more RNG than Outlaws. Originally Posted by Hashcrypt
