WoW TWW 11.1 Easiest Class to Play - Easiest DPS in The War Within Season 2

As The War Within (TWW) Season 2 approaches, many players are looking for the most accessible yet effective DPS classes. This WoW 11.1 tier list ranks the easiest DPS to play in the upcoming new patch and new season.

WoW TWW 11.1 Difficulty Tier List - Easiest DPS Class in War Within (Melee & Ranged)

For new or returning players in The War Within, these specifications on the list offer the perfect balance of accessibility and effectiveness. Beast Mastery Hunter and Enhancement Shaman stand out as most easy options for WoW TWW 11.1 & Season 2, while lots of other specs are recommended with their straightforward mechanics, impressive damage numbers, exceptional utility, and other strengths.

1. Beast Mastery Hunter (Easiest)

Beast Mastery Hunter is probably the easiest DPS to play in WoW The War Within Season 2 with a very simple rotation and straightforward priority system. The spec has received significant AOE damage improvements, featuring new talents like Dire Cleave for pet-based AOE damage and Poisoned Barbs which allows direct damage from Barbed Shot haand s a 30% chance to explode on impact. The rotation is remarkably straightforward, players maintain Barbed Shot and throw the hunt buffs, use Kill Command on cooldown, and utilize multi-shot to enable AOE damage through their pets. Their damage output in AOE scenarios primarily comes from kill cleave and Beast cleave, making them one of the top damage dealers in the 11.1 patch. The strength of BM Hunter is enhanced by a completely redesigned pack leader hero talent tree, which not only improves performance but also reinforces the thematic connection between hunter and pet. Beast Mastery Hunter excels in both Mythic plus dungeons and AOE encounters while remaining accessible to players of all skill levels.

2. Enhancement Shaman

Enhancement Shaman is one of the easiest DPS specs in TWW 11.1 while maintaining exceptional performance. The spec operates on a straightforward priority-based system rather than a complex rotation, where players simply use abilities as they become available off cooldown. Both hero talent trees (Stormbringer and Totemic) perfectly complement the class fantasy and provide substantial damage output. The Totemictree features the Surging Totem that continuously deals explosive damage and enhances abilities, while Stormbringer delivers powerful lightning damage alongside summoning ghost wolves for combat support. The class benefits from high-octane, fast-paced gameplay and becomes even more powerful with the Season 2 tier set bonus, which significantly amplifies Crash Lightning's damage output to millions per target.

3. Retribution Paladin

Coming at number three, the simplified and condensed rotation and ease of use allow Retribution Paladin easy to pick up for beginners. The recent rework, which streamlined its previously bloated rotation into a much simpler and more intuitive playstyle, lowers its difficulty. Ret Paladin now generates Holy Power passively through basic attacks, reducing the need for excessive button presses. Additionally, key abilities like Blade of Justice automatically trigger Consecrate for AoE damage, and Wake of Ashes activates Avenging Wrath ensuring consistent damage windows every 30 seconds, this is ideal for Mythic+ dungeons. The Templar hero talent further enhances its simplicity and effectiveness by introducing Hammer of Light, a high-damage AoE ability that synergizes perfectly with Wake of Ashes. Beyond damage output, Retribution Paladin excels in utility, offering strong off-healing, powerful defensive abilities like Lay on Hands and Blessings, making it both forgiving and valuable in group content.

4. Destruction Warlock

Destruction Warlock is an easy-ranged DPS, it has simple mechanics in both single target and AOE. The specialization maintains strong versatility, as its AoE build remains effective for single-target encounters and vice versa. In AoE scenarios, players can generate massive damage by utilizing the Hellcaller talent tree, casting Cataclysm, applying Wither, and channeling demon fire abilities before unleashing Rain of Fire. For single-target fights, the Diabolist talent tree enables players to deal tremendous damage through Soul Fire and Chaos Bolt, accompanied by summoned demons from the Burning Legion. The Destruction Warlock tier set in Season 2 enhances its performance, and its ability to achieve some of the highest critical strike numbers in the game makes it particularly satisfying to play.

5. Arms Warrior

The Arms Warrior in WoW 11.1 is also considered one of the most easy DPS classes. The primary rotation involves using abilities like Mortal Strike, Overpower, and Rend, with burst damage from Colossus Smash, culminating in heavy Execute damage at the end of encounters. The Arms Warrior's talents are also very simple and focused on increasing their damage output, with the Colossal Might being a standout choice that can lead to massive single-target bursts. Additionally, the class has a mountain of offensive cooldowns that can be combined into a powerful one-button macro, allowing for satisfying moments of high-damage output.

6. Frost Death Knight

The Frost Death Knight is a good choice if you want to pick up a simple DPS in the upcoming TWW Patch 11.1 & Season 2. With the Breath of Sindragosa build, players can achieve significant damage by strategically managing runic power and activating powerful cooldowns at two-minute intervals. This spec allows for explosive burst damage, so it is visually satisfying as players witness massive numbers on their screens. Additionally, the combination of abilities like Horn of Winter and Empower Rune Weapon enables continuous runic power generation, facilitating extended periods of high damage output. While Frost Death Knights may struggle with consistency outside of cooldowns, their effective crowd control and engaging gameplay, paired with a strong class fantasy, contribute to their reputation as a user-friendly and effective melee DPS option for players heading into the new patch.

7. Balance Druid

Balance Druid is not hard as well, its rotation is simple - players maintain Sunfire and Moonfire on targets, use Wrath to enter lunar eclipse, and then focus on Starfire casting while using Starfall for AoE situations. The spec's power shines particularly in multi-target scenarios because Starfall has no AoE cap, allowing damage to scale infinitely with the number of enemies present. The tier set bonus enhances Wild Mushroom damage, and the talent tree provides additional damage boosts. The visual effects are appealing, with players transforming into Moonkin form and casting cosmic spells, making the gameplay experience both satisfying and visually engaging. While the spec excels in damage output and ease of use, it maintains competitive DPS in both single-target and AoE, particularly with the Elune's Chosen talent that provides powerful Fury of Elune casts and enhanced Starfire damage.

8. Windwalker Monk

The final easiest class is Windwalker Monk, it is a melee DPS specialization that combines straightforward gameplay with impressive damage output. WW Monk features a fluid rotation system that has been refined over recent seasons, with improved stat bonuses for haste and mastery making the gameplay feel more polished. The rotation centers around builder/spender mechanics, complemented by powerful abilities like Fists of Fury, enhanced Blackout Kick procs, and buffed Spinning Crane Kick for strong AoE damage. The new Slicing Winds ability hits exceptionally hard, capable of dealing 5-6 million damage in a single cast. Players can explore different builds, including the Last Emperor's Capacitor setup. With Conduit of the Celestials talent tree, which focuses on enhancing the synergy between the Celestial abilities and accelerates ability cooldowns, Windwalker Monks enjoy both high damage output and engaging gameplay mechanics.
