What Ranged DPS spec should you play in Shadowlands? Choosing a class or spec can be a really difficult question, especially for returning players, as so much has changed for some classes during the Shadowlands testing cycle. From the
Unpruning
to the
GCD changes
, most classes are receiving new gameplay tools in the expansion, not to mention those which have had their spells and talents overhauled entirely!
On this page, you will learn more about each Ranged DPS spec's gameplay in Shadowlands, to help you decide if a certain spec is a perfect choice for you or not. Below each description, we provide links to read more about each specialization in our class guides, where we will delve into the strengths of each specialization, as well as describe the impact of changes like new abilities, AoE Caps, and GCD Changes.
Note that these guides are
not a Tier List
, as we won't be delving into comparisons between specs. While pre-patch is around the corner, there's still some time until Shadowlands launches, and Blizzard is still making adjustments to classes, covenants, and legendaries, all of which will influence any attempt to rank classes. We just hope to show, through speaking about each spec's strengths and gameplay, what makes that spec unique when compared to its peers.
Remember that, at the end of the day, the choice of what to play is yours and yours alone.
How Balance Druid Plays in Shadowlands
Balance's class fantasy is controlling the sun and the moon to do damage from range with Nature and Arcane spell schools. You are in a higher form and gain bonus damage by being in
枭兽形态
.
Balance Druid is a general builder spender that has two damage over time effects. You build a resource called
Astral Power
with
愤怒
or
星火术
,and then you spend that resource with
星辰坠落
on multi-target or
星涌术
on single-target. You also maintain two damage over time effects which are
阳炎术
and
月火术
. You are going to be alternating
日月之蚀
states by casting the opposite side eclipse state ability then empower that filler by dumping
星涌术
into that eclipse state.

How Beast Mastery Hunter Plays in Shadowlands
Beast Mastery Hunter in Shadowlands is a fantastic spec that utilizes its ferocious animal companions to ravage foes, which fulfills a unique and well-defined class fantasy. If you are looking for an extremely mobile ranged DPS with tons of utility and a strong class identity, then consider giving it a try.
Possibly the biggest attraction to playing Beast Mastery is the specs mobility.
Beast Mastery is the only ranged DPS specialization in the game that can do 100% of its damage while moving
, with no restrictions whatsoever. This provides a huge benefit in any sort of PvE content, as you can always do mechanics or deal with whatever is going on without ever needing to waste any damage, something no other ranged DPS can do. Combining their mobility with incredible spells like
灵龟守护
, Beast Mastery Hunters are perfect for doing odd-jobs and any sort of mechanical challenges that raids and dungeons might present.
Hunters use
Focus
as their core resource, which for Beast Mastery is used primarily for
眼镜蛇射击
and
杀戮命令
to deal damage. The core of your rotation revolves around
倒刺射击
, which is used to keep
狂暴
up on your pets to allow them to do more damage as well as to lower the cooldown on
狂野怒火
. These spells will make up 90% or more of your rotation, with the remaining spells coming from your various cooldowns and other utility abilities. Beast Mastery also offers excellent cleave potential through the use of
多重射击
to put up
野兽顺劈
, which allows your pet attacks to cleave multiple enemies at once.

How Marksmanship Hunter Plays in Shadowlands
Marksmanship Hunters are the only Hunter spec that have the option of not using a pet. It's typically the go-to spec for any player that does not like using or managing pets, but still want to play Hunter. It's typically referred to as the "sniper" spec with slower, heavy-hitting shots and an extended range. In Shadowlands, Marksmanship has transitioned into a more bursty class, having a "Burst and Reload" type feeling to its rotation.
At its core, Marksmanship uses
瞄准射击
to enable
弹无虚发
while using abilities such as
急速射击
and
稳固射击
to regenerate
Focus
. Our talents such as
爆炸射击
and
乱射
give us some burst AoE potential, which is a nice change of pace as compared to BFA. For the most part, though, Marksmanship plays very similar to how it currently does in BFA with a few minor tweaks. If you're familiar with Marksmanship already, you'll be able to transition with ease.

How Arcane Mage Plays in Shadowlands
The Shadowlands pre-patch has changed Arcane Mages significantly while staying true to the core of the spec's identity. If you enjoy frequent burst damage and mana management, Arcane might just be the spec for you!
Arcane Mages are the masters of time and space. They are able to teleport around the battlefield more than any other Mage spec, and rewind the flow of time itself faster and more frequently.
Mechanically, Arcane has always been the 'turret' of Mage specs: high single-target burst damage with low mobility. In the Shadowlands Pre-Patch, we are getting more frequent burst options - despite
奥术强化
increasing to a 2-minute cooldown - a range of mobility choices and even some cleave potential. These changes smooth the damage profile and provide more viability in end-game content.
Mages are also one of the most defensive spell-casting classes in the game. If outranging the enemy with
闪现术
and
冰霜新星
isn't enough, try absorbing or negating the damage with any one of a variety of tools:
寒冰屏障
,
棱光护体
,
强化隐形术
or
镜像
- or even ignoring it entirely by resetting the flow of time (
操控时间
).
All races, aside from Tauren and Highmountain Tauren, can be Mages. The race choice, outside of cutting-edge content, is mostly a cosmetic one; however, Trolls'
狂暴
is a powerful spell for burst damage.

How Fire Mage Plays in Shadowlands
If you have ever wondered why the saying is "fight fire with fire" instead of "fight everything with fire" then maybe Fire Mage is the specialization for you. From the fire we stand in during raids, to the
炎爆术
s of the
迪菲亚抢劫者
s, fire has always been one of the most deadly schools of magic in World of Warcraft. Fire Mage has always been known for its offensive focus, high damage, and cleave in the form of
精通:点燃
. If you are looking for a specialization that lets you turn your enemies into bonfires with legs, spreading their flame to other nearby enemies, then look no further.
Fire Mage is one of a handful of ranged caster specializations in World of Warcraft that focuses on cleave rather than spread damage over time. It is a very high burst playstyle, as most of your damage comes during your
燃烧
. Outside of cooldowns, the playstyle revolves around its stable flow of generating
热力迸发
then
炽热连击!
from critical strikes while
精通:点燃
burns your target for additional fire damage. Once you have stoked the flames for long enough,
不死鸟之焰
can be used to spread your fire to nearby foes.
In theory, all Mages use
Mana
as a resource, but this is just a front since Mana is mostly irrelevant. Your
real
resource as a Fire mage is your
炽热连击!
buff and
不死鸟之焰
ability, Hot Streak is fuel for the abilities that cause the most damage and Phoenix Flames is used to spread that damage to nearby enemies. However, Fire magic isn't a Fire Mage's only tool. Iconic Mage utility spells like
变形术
,
冰霜新星
, and
闪现术
allow Mages of all specializations to control and outplay their enemies while their friends burn.

How Frost Mage Plays in Shadowlands
Frost Mages are the masters of battlefield control. They can force enemies to assault them in the face of a howling blizzard and freeze any who manage to get close, while the Mage swiftly teleports away to land a devastating burst combo.
Mechanically, Frost is really the workhorse of Mage specs, with a tool for every situation and viability in all aspects of PvE and PvP. The spec excels at two-target cleave and has a smoother damage profile than either Arcane or Fire. We also have excellent burst against frozen enemies, and several spells allow us to treat targets as frozen to set that up.
Although all Mage specs have some tools for mob management, Frost is still the one most able to control large numbers of enemies. Spells like
暴风雪
,
冰锥术
and
寒冰宝珠
make slowing large numbers a simple task, with more crowd control available in
冰霜新星
and
冰冻术
. However, we do lack any hard control like stuns or disorients.
Mages are also one of the most defensive spell-casting classes in the game. If outranging the enemy with
闪现术
and
冰霜新星
isn't enough, try absorbing or negating the damage with any one of a variety of tools:
寒冰屏障
(available twice with
急速冷却
),
寒冰护体
or
镜像
- or even ignoring it entirely by resetting the flow of time (
操控时间
).
All races, aside from Tauren and Highmountain Tauren, can be Mages. The race choice, outside of cutting-edge content, is mostly a cosmetic one. However, Trolls'
狂暴
is a powerful spell for burst damage, even though Frost isn't heavily reliant on cooldowns.

How Shadow Priest Plays in Shadowlands
Shadow Priests draw their power from the void and deal damage through the use of damage over time effects (DoTs) such as
暗言术:痛
,
吸血鬼之触
, and
噬灵疫病
. Shadow uses a resource system called
狂乱值
and is gained by casting the majority of Shadow's spells, such as
心灵震爆
and
精神鞭笞
.
狂乱值
can be spent by casting
噬灵疫病
or
(while channeling
).
Shadow Priests mainly deal their damage at range and excels in multi-DoT situations on spread or stacked AoE. Shadow does struggle with mobility, but this can be circumvented by using your instant cast spells while moving and pre-placing yourself in an optimal position if you know you're going to need to move ahead of time.
Shadow Priests have access to a unique spell,
精神控制
. mWhile it's mostly useless in PvE outside of niche scenarios, it has quite a few uses in PvP situations. Priests also have the capability to pull a friendly target to your location through
信仰飞跃
, commonly referred to as Life Grip. It also has
群体驱散
, which has a hefty mana cost but brings good utility to your group as it works on both friendly and enemy units simultaneously.
Thematically, Shadow Priests also have access to
暗影形态
and
虚空形态
.
暗影形态
buffs all spell damage you deal as well as adding a dark purple aura around your character. This effect also extends to mounts and looks particularly cool on celestial mounts.
虚空形态
keeps the aesthetics of
暗影形态
but making it slightly more black. Additionally
虚空形态
causes your character to float, taking damage will not remove this levitation unlike with
漂浮术
.
虚空形态
also spawns void tendrils on your body, which look like tentacles.

How Elemental Shaman Plays in Shadowlands
From
漩涡
to Fulmination and back again; how to play Elemental hasn't changed much at all in the Shadowlands pre-patch.
Our resource is once again
漩涡
. For single target we build it up via
闪电箭
,
熔岩爆裂
, and the talents
元素冲击
&
冰怒
if taken to spend it on
大地震击
. For AoE we build it up via
闪电链
to spend it on
地震术
for single-target. Our talents are mostly designed around either directly amplifying this loop, or adding more buttons to the loop.
The only change to how we would approach doing this comes from the return of
灵魂行者的恩赐
, which allows us to mitigate periods of movement that might have frustrated us in the past. We'll also be learning a new combo or two that comes from the synergies between the new talent
回响震击
and other existing talents such as
风暴守护者
.

How Affliction Warlock Plays in Shadowlands
Affliction Warlock is the premiere drain damage spec in World of Warcraft, and that doesn't change in Shadowlands. If you're looking to slowly eat away at your enemies' life pools with a slurry of damage over time abilities and debuffs, this spec is for you.
The Affliction play style is pretty straightforward:
Apply various Damage over Time abilities to your enemies -
痛楚
,
腐蚀术
, and
痛苦无常
are the baseline ones with extra talent options available as well.
Drain the life out of your opponents with your nukes.
灾难狂欢
does scaling damage based on the number of effects on your targets, whereas
吸取灵魂
is a consistent damage option when you have nothing else to hit.
Affliction is one of the most consistent damage classes in the game. When it's strong on single target, it excels in multi-target. On top of the consistent overall damage, it excels at execute when talented into
吸取灵魂
, which is a must-take talent at all times.

How Demonology Warlock Plays in Shadowlands
For the first expansion in a while Demonology actually didn't go through any major changes, so if you've played Demonology at all throughout BFA you'll be in great shape. If you like Demons, this is the spec for you.
Demonology gameplay is almost intuitive but also not;
Keep
召唤恐惧猎犬
on cooldown, cast
古尔丹之手
with 3
灵魂碎片
, and depending on talents you'll be looking to keep as many demons out as you can.
暗影箭
and
恶魔之箭
are our baseline
灵魂碎片
builders with
恶魔之箭
having a heavy cast time that is reduced to instant with
恶魔之核
.
Demonology's damage profile is pretty narrow when compared to other Warlock specs but you can expect consistent single target damage and.....somewhat not consistent AoE.

How Destruction Warlock Plays in Shadowlands
Destruction has always been known as a spec that excels at dealing large hits through
混乱之箭
and very strong cleave damage due to
浩劫
. In Shadowlands Destruction is receiving multiple changes both to our current spells, our talents, and more.
Our primary resource is Soul Shards which we both generate and spend with a number of abilities in our kit. We can choose to either spend them on
混乱之箭
which is a single target ability or
火焰之雨
with is an AoE ability that deals damage over time. We are a very cooldown oriented spec, this means a large portion of our damage is dealt during our
召唤地狱火
cooldown.

Using the balance druid, affliction warlock, and elemental shamans as the reference, could the other specs *be updated to add brief descriptions of their rotations? Like the arcane mage covers the concept of the spec, but not what the rotation is like. I ask because rotation complexity is a key factor in deciding which class/spec I want to play.
Otherwise, this is really helpful!

Reading over the way it's written for Demo Lock, it reads a lot like they were struggling to find anything positive to say. Yet another round of Demo being the joke spec it seems. :(

Small amendment to the SPriest section:
Shadowform does not extend to your mounts and pets baseline, it's via glyph only. This glyph, as well as the one that makes shadowform less shadowy, also causes your voidform to be more opaque black (which is a bug that has gone unfixed for years), while unglyphed shadowform causes your voidform to make you dark blue with more particle effects.
Voidform will also no longer sprout tentacles in shadowlands because the mechanic which caused the tentacles to appear no longer exists (which they may fix in the future)
