Most Complex Class

Hello everyone. I'm downloading WoW now, after a long time off (my last expansion was WotLK). I'm looking to roll an F2P twink. I don't really care if it's OP or UP, I just like pushing a lot of buttons to get the job done in different situations. I realize that at 20 no class will be all that complex, but what, in your opinions, are the most complex DPS classes in F2P?

The most complex? A feral druid. 5 CP > Savage Roar, 5 CP > make sure bleed is up > tiger's fury > ferocious bite.

Most of the time you've killed 3 people before you can even complete one full rotation.

Then you have stuff like healing button, moonfire, roots, bear form, and stealth management.

You like pushing a lot of buttons . Then roll a druid. You got many buttons and different shapeshifts.
And the more complex druid is feral druids because has a complex rotation. If you roll a feral check out my Feral F2P Guide.
 
I would say hunter or resto Druid with wild charge will have the largest number of key binds . Hunter controlling pets and operating all that cc eft takes a very large number of key binds . If you are coordinating charges the way I do you will have so many charge macros on Druid . I think atm I have 7 diff keys all for charge . Really though healing isn't that complex as Druid u spam regrowth all day long and ur good . Shamans can incorporate more multitasking though but with fewer total binds .
 
Thanks for the insight, guys. From what you all have been saying, I think I'll make an Elemental Shaman and Survival Hunter, one each Ally and Horde, Vashj and Aerie Peak. Once they're 20 I'll see which I like most between them before deciding to dedicate time to gearing one.

Edit: Oh yeah, I'll have to think about Feral Druid too for that matter, but leveling 3 classes at once might be a bit much for me. Maybe after I choose between Shaman and Hunter I'll roll a Druid to take on the winner. :p

I have a level 12 draenei ele sham on vashj that I'm slowly leveling. I still haven't installed the f2p addon, so this might be a pointless offer . . but we could level together. Her name is Wodenennenn or some similar spelling. Also have a level 6 dwarven hunter on Vashj named Leggbeaardd, but this is the third dwarf I've made and the highest level I've gotten one is 7 before losing interest.

I think BM hunter is a little more complex than SV

Hunter and ally feral are quick and easy to level and have decently geared.
 
Imo the most "complex class" would have to be mage due to the amount of utilities they have BUT seeing as simple minded people who want easy kills play hunter (90% of f2ps are simple minded) makes playing mage and all there utilities useless :/

but i have to admit after playing f2p mage they are the most fun class to play :) every kill feels like an achievement because you had to work your arse off for that kill unlike every hunter/prot/rogue.

Just my 2 pennys
 
Most complex is hunter.. sure you can easily top dmg, but can ypu return flags on a regular basis?
Can you kite enchanted rogues? Can you protect your healers?
Can you fc effectively when needed?
Can you effectively shut down enemy healers?
Can you keep calm and resist noobshotting everything that moves when you actually should be helping to kill efc?

If yes to all that, you sir have my respect.
Remember, with great power comes great responsibility ;)

Ele shaman!
This is all crap. All that nonsense here about hunter being complex. Just because u have 3 buttons more than a rogue + a pet doesnt mean this is a complex class. U stay at the! maximum range. U have practically no counterclass because of maximum range and u can decide at your fucking maximum range if u attack or brew yourself some coffee while u conc shot everything that even tries to get near you! And dont start with "but rogues" u lose to a rogue you are too dumb to not s-key.
Even with half the dmg the only counter to hunters would be another hunter.

Hunter complex...best joke 2013. Happy New year

Believe it or not, the hunter class is complex. However, it does too much damage which makes poor play more rewarding than it should be.

People stay hatin.
The hunter class is very effective @ 20 with all the different abilities(conc shot,disengage,scatter shot,serpent sting, plus pet abilities)
They just have excessive dmg which is not necessary. Look past the damn damage and you will see this class has great use if played properly. Anyways most hunters are idiots who do absolutely nothing to help there team, instead they just run into mid and start pewpewing away. Its the players that play their class to its full potential that get hated on just bc most of the bracket are brainless morons and that particular class does alot of dmg
 
Mage is one of your best bets for sure. You'll love the thrill of seeing a warrior with double time barreling down upon you especially if they are a gnome or Human. Or a rogue hitting you for 75% of your HP while deadly poison crits for 150 ticks. Or that feral druid you can't kite so they sorta slowly beat you down because you don't get to stop and cast. Or that Elemental Shaman... I'm being completely serious.

From this point of view every class is "complex".
Since every class has buttons to press.
And every class can achieve (most of) the things stated above.

And its pure ignorance to put a hunter above other classes not even mentioned here.
Its pure ignorance to put hunterskills over e.g. druids 3-tree-skills, over the sheer mass of shaman-flexibility, over the micromanagement a healer has to do, over the clear focus a melee has to keep in a big clash midfield.
But ignorance is bliss I guess.

Two thumbs up.

I never said hunters were more complex than druids or shamans. Don't quote me out of context. I stated that hunters are indeed complex in response to your ignorant rant about the class.

Also, please tell me about that micromanagement you are speaking of that healers have to perform. Because as far as I am aware the only classes required to micro things are the ones that have pets. Hunter being one of them.

Calling a melee class in a midfight complex is a joke. Just because it is less rewarding doesn't mean it is any more complex. Due to the lack of CC that all melee classes in this bracket have, coupled with a serious lack of mobility and defensive cooldowns, there is no way to affect things happening outside of a 10-15y radius around you and almost no way to react to incoming damage other than praying to your healers and walking back at 50% movement speed. Playing a melee class in a midfight is as uncomplex as it gets. Feral druids may be an exception here but that is because they are druids, not because they are melee.
 
Warlock, specially Affliction. While keeping dots on everything in sight, to avoid combatflee, and sometimes having to hardcast UA and getting wrecked, u have to watch for good timing for fears, keep on your toes cuz ur survivability sucks so much, you have no escape mechanism except as demo, your damage as a afflilock comes from hardcasting SBs and LashofPain, which diminishes even more your survival chances since u have no void out. And to recharge soulshards means u have to hardcast Drain Soul, being a easy target.

Good afflocks are something to behold. Really.
