  • Casters and Hunters ranked and sorted into a neat little tierlist. While this list may be true if skill levels are equal, that doesn't mean that you can't top the meters as any of the classes on this list if you play better than your peers. The rankings will fluctuate somewhat throughout the Cataclysm expansion, but will generally be true and as such, help you in the process of picking a main if sweaty min-maxing interests you.
    If you want to check out the other rankings, you can do so here:

    In your demo warlock section you had pet twisting backwards. You want to use demon soul on felguard and keep your felhunter out otherwise. So you should start with felguard out, use demon soul with all your other cds, then use the instant cast from soul burn to get your felhunter back out.

      This list serverly undervalues how strong Shadow is in any fight with more than 1 target.
      If there's any possibility of multidotting, a Shadow Priest will always be 1# by a landslide, assuming you know how to multidot properly
      There are TON of fights like that in Cataclysm, and Shadow ST is also very competitive in t11 and t12. We do get outscaled by stuff like Warrs, Mages and Locks in Dragon Soul, but a good Shadow Priest can easily top ST in t11 and t12.
      Legendaries should always go to your best player anyway, not the best class.

      Quest and/or dungeon grind to 80, pvp and wintergrasp every 3 hours to get 277 pvp gear, save up 4000 justice points for Cataclysm, and get some gold. That'll get you pretty far without being too sweaty :D

    • @Melodeath00
      @Melodeath00 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      No way.
      SP is basically a Boomkin with slightly better ST, WAY better multidotting and worse mass AoE.
      SP should be top of A or low S. Boomkin should be A. Ele should be B. At no point of Cata, can an Ele Shaman compete with either SPs or Doomkings.

    • @dusanspancy
      @dusanspancy 11 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @@Melodeath00 ele shaman has one of the best aoe and bosses in t11 are mostly with adds, so in terms of aoe ele beats them, also like i said haste cap for priest is hard to get, meaning they become viable dps at the end of tier, which is whatever.

    • @Melodeath00
      @Melodeath00 10 วันที่ผ่านมา

      ​@@dusanspancy T11 is not a tier suited for mass AoE. While that certainly happens on some bosses aswell, the raid tier overall is much more suited to 2-6 target multidotting, which Shadow happens to be the best spec at in the entire game (by a massive margin).
      Also, you don't need any Haste caps for Shadow. Sure, there are softcaps where you "get another tick" for your different DoTs, but those are not really relevant. Sure, they are nice to get, and in BiS gear, you actively try to get to the most logical one, but they are not some magical Dps spike that "unlocks" your Dps potential.
      Shadow is at its strongest in t11 and t12, and get's outscaled by the top tier specs like Warrs, Legendary Rogues and Fire Mages in t13, not the other way around like you seem to think.
      It's still ahead of Ele though, which is one of the worst scaling specs in the game in Cata... This is not just my guild Shamans being shit back then either. Among the viable Dps specs (so excluding stuff that nobody played like MM, Frost Mage and Destro), both Ele and Enhc consistenly had some of the lowest logs in the game during Dragon Soul.
