How is everyone feeling about the new spec now?

[hawtlol]

It’s been a couple weeks now since its release so I’m curious to hear people’s thoughts on it. I have personally absolutely loved it. I can be a caster that just runs around the entire time and I don’t insane damage. It’s sort of spoiled other classes/specs for me. I’m sitting at a 155 ilvl and I have my old main which is a 154 ilvl Mage and also a 150 ilvl Shadow Priest and my Demon Hunter blows those two out of the water damage wise while also being incredibly more mobile.

Rolled my alt - no time to play it yet, but seeing a lot of them around in the rare hunt of the Twilight Highlands. Guess dps rankings in Midnight raids will tell us how people feel at the end of the day.

Tbh, despite my many attempts to try playing devourer I can only say that its bad. I want to believe this is because we dont have all tools it requires until max lvl in midnight.

It just has problems.

I have to collect the souls. This makes mobs move around me. The way mobs move in this game makes them often move behind me, like rogue on adhd meds in pvp. This makes me lose randomly casts since mob was behind me.

The big cast, collapsing star, is so difficult to actually get out that I have tried several times simply untalent it.

I have looked at rotations and only today after my latest attempt to make devourer feel good and looking at wowhead rotation guide, it essentially told me to just spam consume, a single spell. Ignore eye beam, ignore everything else, outside of meta. That is single target. How boring.

It doesnt have almost any on demand aoe. Collapsing star you can expect to never have up and the other require you to talent, I think, eradicate, which also requires fully channeling eye beam, which may or may not be readily available, both being quick burst of aoe and then none.

To sum up. I either play it wrong or its low dps. I always feel stuff takes long time to kill. Its annoying to play even with its very minimal skill variety.

So... no. I will try again once I can access hero talents.

I hate it. Anything that has casting sux.
But at least is nowhere near Augmentation from Evoker. That spec is the worst one in WOW.

Fun in dungeons, awful to play in any sort of solo / outdoor content. Horrible ramp up time, awful defensives.

See now, I love Augvoker.

It feels undercooked, too much consume spam to start rolling.
