No classes anymore, but Feral Druid in Wrath and Arcane Mage in Cata.
edit: oh and sub rogue pre-mop
skill needed for pallys ?
really all you need to do play one its give it a name
in 5.1 I was in a 25man for a short time. At this point of time everyone was talking about how poor retribution was. But the ret in this guild was simply amazing. He'd always be top 3 damage (and this was a top 200 guild so not entirely fillled with noobs) and very consistently rank anywhere from 1-10 on each fight.
Fury Warriors. Not because they're not easily capable of great damage, historically, but simply because it seems like a HUGE majority of the class' playerbase is fairly mediocre. Like, it's the generic go-to class for so many people. "Oh, a medieval fantasy style game? Let me play whatever can equip the biggest armor and weapons."
Fairly generic class attracts fairly generic people.
Hunters who would consistently get top 100 across multiple seasons, particularly the earlier ones. I remember looking at ladders and there would only ever be a handful of them at a given time until beast cleave came along.
Edit: Just realized I'm in the PvE section, my bad.
Sub rogue in 4.0/4.2.
a protection warrior played well is a sight to behold.
demo or affl lock, sub rogue, marks hunter, enhance sham, and a ret pally i'd say...if you can get any of those to pull like 175k+ in a fight at around 520 ilvl then you get props from me.
basing these classes on difficulty to perfect
I've never been impressed...if someone is at the top of the meter either they are WTF OP, have really good gear, or both. It's not often (read: never) that a poorly geared, not-OP class can destroy the meter simply by playing really well. That's just not the game we play.
It's gotta be the Hunters. As many garbage dump hunters as there are in WoW, there are still some really fantastic ones that break the mold. A good hunter can deliver on both single target and aoe burst in a pinch, evade and negate numerous mechanics, provide both crowd control and aggro misdirection, all while filling in any missing raid buffs. Despite being much more challenged to reach the top of the meters, a good hunter can still impress me with their skills.
Naftc, "Hunters are the cheapest class in game and when played right are more deadly than a train plowing through a field of bunnies covered in napalm"
I got to agree hands down, finding a good warrior is just one of those dammed rare things, i know more then a hand full of players of other classes and specs that can melt 99+ percentiles but when it comes to warriors that's not something you can find easy, and i only know of one that was a constant 95-100 percentile player, and well he rerolled due to there bad state.
Hunters triple CC'ing in BC heroics.
Classes became too streamlined for me to be impressed by anyone now. Back in the day I was almost always impressed with a good kitty, though.
Shadow priests, because we do garbage damage so when we outdamage a lock/mage...we have room to talk BIG SHIT.
