I see nothing difficult about this class. The two-handed range is riddiculous, you can't help but not miss combo's, not that you need more than 5 kinds anyway, not including cc's.

The only thing about the BS is that you have a stupid amount of abilites to bind, which if you own a decent keyboard is not a problem. Learning how to use IB to procc visions is not difficult, nor is watching your buffs and proccs to know when to use a rune.

The only thing I found hard so far was sitting at my keyboard and being forced to bind 40 keys, or watching idiots run around in a mini and elude every heal you try to give them.

I have something like 55 buttons to press on my shaman including movement, switch target, etc, etc. I also use almost all of them very frequently.

I have something like 30 to press on my carnage conq BUT I have 1h range and have to land many more three step combos.

Bear is just way more micro management than other classes but isn't necessarily any harder for people who keybind.

I actually find it more keybind for conqs be more complex. I switch between carnage and brute combos a lot so there's a lot more binds to go through.

The complexity for conks is mostly timing. Switching to frenzy for finishers, back to def for anything else, swapping between 1h and 2h for different combos, the disc/formation swaps, and the banner/technique pops. I do find my bear easier to play than my conk simply by virtue of the single weapon set and no stances.

I was only talking about keybinds. Conq mechanics are easy enough.

Jajaja I guess it's good that I click on everything then! But seriously, Conqs? when I play my bear, I have to devote 140% attention to what I'm doing or else I wouldn't be able to put out the dps that I do. my carnage conq is relaxing by comparison. Actually, every other class except for my possession hox is relaxing by comparison.

I'm wondering what kind of spec you are running if you use any 2h combos as a carnage conq besides batter aside and IFA?

HoX is'nt that hard, its just the nature of a melee clothie to die alot. Even the best Hox's will get sh!t on if the opposing teams melee decide to drop the HoX first.

Shammy I have found out is much easier than any tanks by the fact you don't have to worry about stances and switching weapons, unless your counting shooting a bow with rune of grounding on as a switch.

Bear is so EZ.

Takes 2 directional keys, forward, forward right.

Keybinding is no problem, with a decent mouse and using all the keys like ALT + (insert key)

This also frees 1 q e 4 5 for stuff since only 2 directional attacks are used lol
