Let the hair go brother, your bald grittier chad days are ahead of you. 5:38 Bellular 2.0 the guy that upstaged the self conscious attic goblin. I know dragonflight was all about earrings and purple hair, but now we're getting raw earthern grit.
If theres one thing the chart section should tell people, is even if your class isnt at the top, you can still perform very well. Just look at how close everything is. Truly, play what you want, you'll be fine.
Some people feel comfortable with one rotation and that gives them incentive to roll that one class and spec. Some people are comfortable with any rotation and don't feel the need to limit themselves. In that situation, the logical choice, if your goal is PvE content, is to play the class that contributes to success
There is no "wrong" choice. It's a video game we play for fun. If you're playing with people who put pressure on you for picking the "wrong" class, find some new friends.
Well if your team is pushing then there kind of are wrong choices but if you are just playing as a casual then no. absolutely you can do heroic raids with any choice.
A good player can make a "dead" spec work. People call a spec dead just because it's 4% below the avg or doesn't bring a raid buff, it's terrible mentality.
If you are looking at the meters/charts one thing most people ignore is class representation Surv hunter for example for much of SL was considered a dead garbage spec but had such a low player count compared to all the other specs that it was probably a lot better than whats shown at face value
Idk man, some braindead people might call a spec dead that easily, but by that metric every spec in the game other than the top 2-3 are "dead," that's definitely not what the community means in general. The difference is more like 15-20% from the top, which is absolutely enough to make the difference between a win or a loss. I mean, ask yourself, if you're pugging something that's not faceroll easy, do you want your group to be packed with specs doing 15% less damage/healing than the "good" ones? When failing a run of anything outside of a static means you've completely wasted potentially hours of your time, it's understandable that the community learned to hedge their bets and not take that risk...
Haha alliance bad horde good even tho that stupid faction rivalry doesnt matter anymore hehehuhu funiiiii lmaooo Edit: still funiiiii aaah I can't I can't I'm gonna die hahahahahahuhuhuh
@@pauliusnanukas7183In my opinion, absolutely. Self-heals, movement utility, simple rotation, etc. Arguably the best beginner friendly class in the game right now. Hunter is another great option but make sure you take Misdirect as a talent for added survivability.
I'm going into TWW as a Fury warrior main with a Ret/Holy alt. Been a holy paladin since OG Wrath and I loved the feel of Titans Grip. Even if Fury is below Arms in terms of DPS, I'm sticking with Fury because I LOVE how it feels. My little gnome with severe anger issues will always be my go to. And with the changes to hpally, I feel I can enjoy healing again (skipped SL and most of DF). May take some getting used to, will probably level her healing in dungeons to get used to it.
Watching this makes me glad I gave up on the hardcore endgame of WoW. When a video game drives sweaties to chew out players for overly meta things like having the audacity to dual-wield as a frost DK, things have gone out of hand. I don't want to be around people who use parse records as weapons against other players like they are evidence in a felony trial.
This is the only way I do it. Repost: I have 35 characters detailed in four documents with all the backgrounds, interactions, family trees, age and even if they are alive or not. I choose two group comps, one from the horde and one for the alliance, considering what I think will make more sense with the incoming content. Then I elect which character will drive their and the expansion narrative better and that’s how i choose the one that I’ll start.
It’s fun seeing different opinions on which tanks will be good at the start of the war within. For example, I have seen people putting paladins rather low on the tanking totem pole, with bears mid to high on the rankings. Only Blood seems to be consistently near the top of everyone’s rankings.
As a person who has alternately mained Prot Pal and Resto Druid since Cata, I could not be more excited for the state of the game right now. I definitely hope that they fill in the gaps for rogues, non-resto druids, and any other inadequately loved classes. The more high-performing classes we have, and the tighter the margins are between them, the less people get obsessed with the meta, and the more we can get back to having fun playing what we want to play with the people we want to play with.
I've never understood the whole panic some people have before every expansion regarding which class are they going to play or which spec. I've made up my mind a long time ago, about which classes and specs I like and which I don't and unless Blizzard makes huge and I really mean huge changes, nothing is going to change that. I really don't care if my class or pc is underperforming, because I'm playing the way I enjoy and not the way someone else wants me to.
I never care about the performance of a spec as much as how much fun it is to play. Having fun makes it a lot easier to get the most out of a spec even when it might not statistically be anywhere near the top.
I've been looking around at tier lists for TWW and not one of them is the same. Unless you're trying to be one of the top end players just play what you will enjoy...
I have mained an Unholy Death Knight since Wrath and I will continue maining him going forward. All these "flavour of the month" rerollers can suck it.
@@Noc-1112 I'm kinda salty that they nerf Frost DKs in the last pre-patch update but I'll always main my Frost DK. But I felt like a God in legion when frost DK was at it peak lolol
I mained druid in every expansion and right now, I am just done. Druid especially feral (my main) needs so much QoL changes.. just look at mages re3 paladin. They are easy fun OP nice to watch at.. Feral just feels sooo much outdated complicated for new players , you have soo many key bindings is crazy against some other classes. Picking DK now.
My main will be prot warrior, dps fury and healing, resto druid or sham. Though I mostly like prot war for the game play. It feels really fun working out what my spell reflects are and learning the dungeons. A lot of tanks like druid and dk. Just delete mechanics through healing. Especially at lower m+. Really looking forward to puzzling out where and how to pull.
Outside of Havoc DH being a complete and total mess to play (opener is 18 specific inputs) and messing up slightly puts you at tank-level DPS. It's just unfun (coming from a now-former Havoc main). Other, play what you want and what you're good at.
Whats it like to raid /M+ as havoc? I've mained a rogue for years but I didn't have as much fun doing end game with that last time because of the awkward aoe and I think the spamminess is finally getting to me. Was considering havoc or maybe a mage.
@@Perid0tStar With the new hero talents? Awful to play for decent damage. It's a big clunky opener every single pack. I was a Havoc main from 7.0 to 10.3, and I'm going back to Survival (main from 1.0 to 6.2).
The problem is less the numbers but more the community perception in my opinion, because if you're pugging keys, good luck finding any parties as a non FOTM spec dps.
i switch specs a lot to prevent burnout and pick almost purely based on fun (only exception is if a healer is so mathematically undertuned that its close to impossible for them to do things like resto shaman in early df) and i genuinely hate when the spec i swap to ends up being very good/flavor of the month. i have guildmates that switch based on power and i dont like suddenly competing w the tryhards when i was just trying to have a good time
I understand your desire for Paladin because of transmog. The armor and class aesthetic is something you will be staring at FOREVER so having it be a pleasant experience is sound logic to me.
"Bad" specs ALWAYS come around via balancing or rework eventually. Ranking how a spec looks "going into TWW" is exactly what flavor the month is. Yes I'm maining Balance as I have since WOTLK and I'm not worried at all.
Sorry but that is simply not true. There are some classes that is just always good. You are right in theory but statistics over the years say otherwise
used to main a frost mage and then started playing a beast mastery hunter and actually preferred it to the mage as it fits my playstyle, rolled a ret paladin too which is amazing and the aoe damage is insane and even though I only use my mage now for mining and herbalism I'm stuck between the hunter and the paladin as both are my playstyle
I tend to pick a main per xpac with any pally ready to go as fall back. this xpac, healing evoker really won me over, especially as i've been more interested in healing in general over the last few years
I used play Rogue back from vanilla to WotLK... as far as I am concerned Rogues have been nerfed right around after WotLK... and have NEVER fully recovered. That's why I am kinda pissed off that I switched over to Druid (largely because of Feral spec)... only to now find that they've been put into the gutter too. I truly hope that Blizz fixes up at least one of those classes ASAP. Luckily these days I also semi-main a couple of Paladins too (and I want to try giving Evoker a fair shot too).
Excellent video. This video definitely helped me on my choice. I'm trying to choose between Paladin, DK and Monk as my main. And Mage/Warlock/Hunter for my alt. My main before was a Druid, and I'm a bit disappointed in where they are now. So, I'm probably going back to my old Paladin tank, but DK and Monk looks interesting as well, especially that DK hero tee. So it's a tough choice. Thanks for the video!
Paladin has been my main since legion, tried DH for dragonflight but I'm going back. Very happy with the changes. Thanks to warbands I'm gonna play fire mage on the side and go back to healer on main c:
I love how many comments didnt actually watch the video. Saying stuff like ”play whatever u want there are no wrong choices, i dont care about charts or numbers” Thats bellulars whole point… dont do flavour of the month top rankings, pick something u enjoy and get good at it.
My main choice has been the same and will continue to be the same as it has been since Cataclysm: Beast Mastery Hunter. Through all the ability changes, all the reworks, all the talent changes, and all the high times and low times I have been a BM Hunter. Nothing matters to me more than what resonates with me.
Survival is finally in the state I wanted it to be in since its rework in Legion. It's got a few issues still but the core hybrid ranged/melee weaving gameplay is everything I ever wanted out of a class. I'm still not a huge fan of the bomb theme mixed in with all the nature stuff but the gameplay is just THAT good that it's not really an issue for me. I'll be going Sentinel whether it's the meta pick or not too since it just has pretty visuals.
20 years until someone actually says hey play what you enjoy. ive played feral for a long time and its been one of the most underrated dps classes out there but yet when i play it I'm consistently top dps and i do a butt load of damage. thanks bell for letting us know we can still be good even if we arnt top tier. loking forward to war within.
I came here hoping to learn how the classes feel and play with the changes, instead I got some generic tier list with comments like "things are improved" or "These are good classes". Maybe useful for some, but it didn't really help me make any choices for a main.
I wish it could be Disc, but it's gonna be so tough getting into groups as disc. I love Hpal, but the tier set doesn't look any good on an Earthen. So that means it's a resto shammy season. Mixing the new shammy set with the Ny'alotha set makes a great fallen Tidesage vibe on a Kul'tiran model.
I've been doing shadow priest in tww and to be honest I might be a bit squishy but I dish out a ton of burst dps and can quickly kill groups of mobs in world content
I am goin' druid this time. I just wanna level fast and easy and enjoy the story. I won't do end game things. With stealth some quests are going to be faster. Being able to collect items in travel form makes some other quests faster. Being able to switch to travel form without cast time make other things faster.
I hate playing Rogue generally but I love Outlaw rogue. I just genuinely wish there was more distinct class fantasy and design in Outlaw. Outlaw imo should really push into the Sword and Pistol gameplay and go into a mixed Melee/Ranged design focus that would feel more akin to playing a Pirate or Bloodborne character than a Rogue.
This expansion has been one of the toughest for me to choose my two “main chars.” And I mean that in a good way because of what I see as a lot of fun, interesting changes
Im definitely trying to embrace the "dont just play one spec" of a class mentality in the war within. Plan is to play Dk. Tank with blood, dps with frost and pvp with unholy. Swaping unholy and frost if need be. And just get gear for each spec. Its way to easy to swap talents to not enbrace the ability to simply swap on demand for the content youre planning to do that day. And as far as gear, really just tanking to get my gear for blood, pvp for conquest gear for unholy, and frost will be my kinda off spec when im not the tank.
One thing re: 2h melee is there is usually a ton of competition for the drops, i.e. there will be a lot of dps playing paladin, warrior, and dk, not to mention dk tanks. I mained paladin in BfA and it was fun but damn it took a bit longer to get the gear I wanted.
Mage main, Paladin alt has been my combo many times for many expansions. I always try to mix it up every so often in some xpacs just because I feel im missing out especially since I'm an altoholic, so I play Balance druid a lot in some xpacs and DK when frost ACTUALLY feels fun, so I've been REALLY tempted to go frost DK for once. Personally, I'm fine with my Tank being easy since I'm not a tank main, I'm a caster main so guardian is often my Go to tank if not prot paladin. So It's caused me to be conflicted on which two I want to focus since I debated on having my paladin sit for now, alt frost DK and have blood Tank but Blood tank seemed a tad difficult.
I think the title is fine. Im glad youve explained how dps charts and tier lists work. All these people saying theyre going to play arcane mage is frustrating.
Went all Dwarves one of each armor class, and classes ive never really played before hoping the new experience will keep the game fresh. PALLY, SHAMAN, MONK, AND AN EARTHEN PRIEST. Wish me luck.
I could understand picking meta classes if you're in a serious guild that's focusing Mythic raiding. But 90% of us just play for fun and a lot of us grew up where we can't put that much time into WoW as we used to when we was younger. I did Normal and some Heroic raids on my main Frost DK while it was at it's worse and I was able to do the raids without much hiccups. Just play with what you like and have fun. :D
I agree with most stuff in here. However, boring as some may find it guardian is in the best spot its been for ages and is looking super stong, and so is feral which is popping off. Mark of thr wild is so good that repeatedly saying "druid stonks are down" is really silly. Moonkin is in a bad place - druids overall are not (performance wise at least)
ha, hilarious that my main list is the same as yours! Definitely feel the same way, lots of winners this time around, but my rogue is definitely spending all her time in the tavern until changes are made. 😛
I've just decided to try WoW out again, I've been away for... well, since a little bit into Mists of Pandaria. Trying to pick something to start with is rough, haha.
Never resonated with shaman in my 14 years of wow until now. Shaman will be my main with pally, fistweaver, hunter, & either mage or lock as my PvP alts

Same. I just stick to casual stuff and never encounter any of these issues.
I will say that the most fun I've had is getting to learn the rotation of a new class
21x max toons on Azuremyst Horde, Im ready to pick whatever at launch xD
Absoutely. The hardest question is what to start with.
Exactly xD ...
If theres one thing the chart section should tell people, is even if your class isnt at the top, you can still perform very well. Just look at how close everything is. Truly, play what you want, you'll be fine.
This is advice that takes most people decades to learn.
If people played the classes they liked purely based on the fantasy more than its DPS potential, people would enjoy the game a lot more.
Some would. I know peope that just doesn't feel like that. And that's okay
As a rogue sin player, i can tell you that no matter how big the numbers are, you can't make that shit feels good actually
I always have I could care less if they are good or not . Also have friends to do stuff with so I don't have to worry about metas.
doing that since 2007 and still outperforming all try hards
Some people feel comfortable with one rotation and that gives them incentive to roll that one class and spec. Some people are comfortable with any rotation and don't feel the need to limit themselves. In that situation, the logical choice, if your goal is PvE content, is to play the class that contributes to success
There is no "wrong" choice. It's a video game we play for fun. If you're playing with people who put pressure on you for picking the "wrong" class, find some new friends.
That's kinda the point Bell starts the video with. The wrong choice is usually just following the flavour of the month
I dont even have friends i pug ans sadly when it comes to pugs the right class matters.
Well if your team is pushing then there kind of are wrong choices but if you are just playing as a casual then no. absolutely you can do heroic raids with any choice.
@@marcelrodriguez2067 Yeah... doing pugs is a great way to destroy your mental health.
@@bobbythefish4836its the only way for many.
A good player can make a "dead" spec work. People call a spec dead just because it's 4% below the avg or doesn't bring a raid buff, it's terrible mentality.

If you are looking at the meters/charts one thing most people ignore is class representation Surv hunter for example for much of SL was considered a dead garbage spec but had such a low player count compared to all the other specs that it was probably a lot better than whats shown at face value
Na there are definitely usually 2-3 specs that are legit dead. Just like there are usually 2-3 specs that are hyper powerful.
Idk man, some braindead people might call a spec dead that easily, but by that metric every spec in the game other than the top 2-3 are "dead," that's definitely not what the community means in general.

- Paladin
- Mage

- Demon Hunter
- Evoker
- Priest
- Shaman
- Warlock

it's not that no one plays rogues you just can't see them cause they so sneaky.

Ill play that what i played always. I dont care for numbers. I care for my character whit whom i played the whole game.
Excellent video. This video definitely helped me on my choice. I'm trying to choose between Paladin, DK and Monk as my main. And Mage/Warlock/Hunter for my alt. My main before was a Druid, and I'm a bit disappointed in where they are now. So, I'm probably going back to my old Paladin tank, but DK and Monk looks interesting as well, especially that DK hero tee. So it's a tough choice. Thanks for the video!
Paladin has been my main since legion, tried DH for dragonflight but I'm going back. Very happy with the changes. Thanks to warbands I'm gonna play fire mage on the side and go back to healer on main c:
I love how many comments didnt actually watch the video. Saying stuff like ”play whatever u want there are no wrong choices, i dont care about charts or numbers”
Thats bellulars whole point… dont do flavour of the month top rankings, pick something u enjoy and get good at it.
Too true bro wild how people have to feel like they have some moral high ground.
But. But the title!
My main choice has been the same and will continue to be the same as it has been since Cataclysm: Beast Mastery Hunter.
Through all the ability changes, all the reworks, all the talent changes, and all the high times and low times I have been a BM Hunter. Nothing matters to me more than what resonates with me.
You could tell Belluar was playing paladin way before this video based on how highly he spoke of it compared to everyone other content creator.
Meta and minmaxing is a way to make a job out of your game.
Survival is finally in the state I wanted it to be in since its rework in Legion. It's got a few issues still but the core hybrid ranged/melee weaving gameplay is everything I ever wanted out of a class. I'm still not a huge fan of the bomb theme mixed in with all the nature stuff but the gameplay is just THAT good that it's not really an issue for me. I'll be going Sentinel whether it's the meta pick or not too since it just has pretty visuals.
As someone that mained a Ret since 2005, this videos are funny to me
20 years until someone actually says hey play what you enjoy. ive played feral for a long time and its been one of the most underrated dps classes out there but yet when i play it I'm consistently top dps and i do a butt load of damage. thanks bell for letting us know we can still be good even if we arnt top tier. loking forward to war within.
I'm here because i keep leveling classes, but i can't play because i don't know what to main sadge
Man I love guardian druid. It's sad to see so many people hate it.
I came here hoping to learn how the classes feel and play with the changes, instead I got some generic tier list with comments like "things are improved" or "These are good classes".
Maybe useful for some, but it didn't really help me make any choices for a main.
I wish it could be Disc, but it's gonna be so tough getting into groups as disc. I love Hpal, but the tier set doesn't look any good on an Earthen. So that means it's a resto shammy season.
Mixing the new shammy set with the Ny'alotha set makes a great fallen Tidesage vibe on a Kul'tiran model.
Fury usually ends up being my main. Is it the best? Hardly ever, but damn I love playing it.
I've been doing shadow priest in tww and to be honest I might be a bit squishy but I dish out a ton of burst dps and can quickly kill groups of mobs in world content
I am goin' druid this time. I just wanna level fast and easy and enjoy the story.
I won't do end game things.
With stealth some quests are going to be faster.
Being able to collect items in travel form makes some other quests faster.
Being able to switch to travel form without cast time make other things faster.
I hate playing Rogue generally but I love Outlaw rogue. I just genuinely wish there was more distinct class fantasy and design in Outlaw.
Outlaw imo should really push into the Sword and Pistol gameplay and go into a mixed Melee/Ranged design focus that would feel more akin to playing a Pirate or Bloodborne character than a Rogue.
This expansion has been one of the toughest for me to choose my two “main chars.” And I mean that in a good way because of what I see as a lot of fun, interesting changes
Im definitely trying to embrace the "dont just play one spec" of a class mentality in the war within. Plan is to play Dk. Tank with blood, dps with frost and pvp with unholy. Swaping unholy and frost if need be. And just get gear for each spec. Its way to easy to swap talents to not enbrace the ability to simply swap on demand for the content youre planning to do that day. And as far as gear, really just tanking to get my gear for blood, pvp for conquest gear for unholy, and frost will be my kinda off spec when im not the tank.
As a PPal main, prot is pretty far behind all the other tanks. And you'll notice it before you hit +10 in m+. Probably just fine for raid up to CE.
One thing re: 2h melee is there is usually a ton of competition for the drops, i.e. there will be a lot of dps playing paladin, warrior, and dk, not to mention dk tanks. I mained paladin in BfA and it was fun but damn it took a bit longer to get the gear I wanted.
I think M+ S1 will be a Bear Meta, it's in a good place tbh, Resto is the real worry in the current beta state
the video is not about the meta
If anyone is telling you you're playing the wrong class you need to GQUIT immediately and block them 🤨
This video is about picking the wrong class FOR YOU.
Maybe not the wrong class but spec for sure! we want the most pew pew :D
If i still play the Loremaster, i already have chosen Draenei MM Hunter for that.
Raiding: Shadow Priest.
PvP: Frost DK, Retri Paladin, Fury Warrior.
Mage main, Paladin alt has been my combo many times for many expansions. I always try to mix it up every so often in some xpacs just because I feel im missing out especially since I'm an altoholic, so I play Balance druid a lot in some xpacs and DK when frost ACTUALLY feels fun, so I've been REALLY tempted to go frost DK for once. Personally, I'm fine with my Tank being easy since I'm not a tank main, I'm a caster main so guardian is often my Go to tank if not prot paladin. So It's caused me to be conflicted on which two I want to focus since I debated on having my paladin sit for now, alt frost DK and have blood Tank but Blood tank seemed a tad difficult.
I play a Warrior in SoD, parses are everything for the sweaty. Me, I'm content just being a tank and not parsing.
My rogue tops charts in 90% of heroics I do, assassination feels great
Reminder for a regular person VPNs are 100% worthless and does practically nothing for you.
Ret pally checking in 👊🏻 can’t decide between alt’ing a mage or hunter either. Both are classes I’ve wanted to explore
I think the title is fine. Im glad youve explained how dps charts and tier lists work. All these people saying theyre going to play arcane mage is frustrating.
I been playing a human warrior since vanilla and will continue here. My main alts are Mage, DK, and Pally.
How warbands work about quests? Main and secondary quest?
Do you enjoy Paladins Buzz Lightyear tier set?🤔
This video saved my soul, no kidding. Thank you.
You're right. However if you're going to play M+ no one will invite unless you play one of the meta specs. Sadly...
I am main'n MONK, I'll be WindWalker for raid and Brewmaster for keys.
For alts, Warrior & Druid (I am anticipating a Druid rework on the horizon BTW)
What is the weakaura/add on being used to show the upcoming boss moves? Vertical bar with abilities coming from top to bottom.
Dbm timeline
Went all Dwarves one of each armor class, and classes ive never really played before hoping the new experience will keep the game fresh. PALLY, SHAMAN, MONK, AND AN EARTHEN PRIEST. Wish me luck.
Been a Windwalker Monk since WoD. Will be a Windwalker Monk until long after The Worldsoul Saga
Cant wait for those rogue class changes 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
I could understand picking meta classes if you're in a serious guild that's focusing Mythic raiding.
But 90% of us just play for fun and a lot of us grew up where we can't put that much time into WoW as we used to when we was younger.
I did Normal and some Heroic raids on my main Frost DK while it was at it's worse and I was able to do the raids without much hiccups.
Just play with what you like and have fun. :D
Bellular. I love you, but what do you have against timestamps? *correction* What does your editor have against timestamps?
I'm so happy to hear Paladin is looking good, it's my favorite class fantasy and aesthetic. I'm gonna try to learn to do Holy because I love healing.
just play what ever you want, this shoudlnt be a question in 2024
I agree with most stuff in here. However, boring as some may find it guardian is in the best spot its been for ages and is looking super stong, and so is feral which is popping off. Mark of thr wild is so good that repeatedly saying "druid stonks are down" is really silly. Moonkin is in a bad place - druids overall are not (performance wise at least)
My warband: warrior, pally, mage, & monk. Guess I’m in for a good time!
I wish every single player would listen and heed this video.
ha, hilarious that my main list is the same as yours! Definitely feel the same way, lots of winners this time around, but my rogue is definitely spending all her time in the tavern until changes are made. 😛
We are close, I'm Pally Hunter then Lock, been doing the same for yearssss
Ret Pally since 2015...but I LOVE my 7 Alts equally!! 😎
There is no wrong choice. The class that you choose should be the one that is most fun for you.
I've just decided to try WoW out again, I've been away for... well, since a little bit into Mists of Pandaria. Trying to pick something to start with is rough, haha.
Never resonated with shaman in my 14 years of wow until now. Shaman will be my main with pally, fistweaver, hunter, & either mage or lock as my PvP alts
