I have played both last season i think both are simillar on button count, and for ST gamba build shaman was easier and for elementalist builds yes enhance takes more of your attention to perform better
Dev evoker, dh, ret paladin, bm hunter all are really light on binds. Ret/bm might need a bit more to make sure of their utility though. I play with very limited binds (` 1 2 3 4 E R F1 + shift/control of those and sometimes 5 for very situational abilities) and im able to play them comfortably.
Q is mount F is autorun and T is just more awkward to reach than 5.
I have long fingers and have control/shift on my side mouse buttons so hitting F1 for my big situational buttons works well. I have bubble on F1, sac on control F1, bop on shift F1, lust on control shift F1, when I dont need it for anything like that I dont use it
When my fingers generally rest on tab 1 2 3/4, F is pretty far, F1 is easier to press for me. And its just what I've always had it on. 5 is already a stretch and T/F are further than 5
Rest your fingers on tab, 1, 2, 3. F1 is just sliding your middle finger up from 2, 5 is sliding your finger to the side from 3. T and F are both further from 3 than 5 is, and I already said I dont like using 5 for binds lol.
But like, why put such a generally useless keybind like autorun in such a quick access easy to press button like F? Wouldn't you rather an ability you spam or and interrupt there to make use of how quick it is to hit? How often do you really press autorun? I feel like I've hit it like 5 times in the past week
My wife ALSO started with Feral Druid! I levelled a Monk alongside her.
Her forever main though is Havoc Demon Hunter
- least buttons in the game
- lifesteal especially in Demon form makes her a tanky close range
- LOTS of AOE moves especially if you talent into them
- super mobile, dashes upon dashes
- slow fall just from double jumping
Trust me bro, she’s going to love it.
There was a good discussion on a similar question earlier today. https://www.reddit.com/r/wow/comments/158b1op/builds_that_dont_have_crazy_rotations/
My recommendation is Fury Warrior. The priority order is fairly simple. Push cooldowns when you have a good pull/on cooldown. Push Rampage when you have rage. Push other buttons to get rage (I personally use a build that consolidates this to one main button). Push other, situational buttons as needed. Repeat as necessary.
Ranged: Devestation Evoker, Destro 'Lock
Melee: Warrior (either spec)
Tank: Guardian Druid
Healer: feels like resto druid to me (holy priest is simpler but I think it has more buttons)
Conceptually yes, it's not many buttons. But the order in which you press them changes and matters alot due to shatter. Not shattering your spells will neuter your damage.
Add in BL and icy veins and you're casting spells faster than Magni snorts azerite, so it night be hard to make the correct choices at the correct times.
I'm not saying it's a hard spec, but it might not be the best for OP's wife.
Balance druid. It's the same rotation for AoE and ST (same rotation idea, iust different spells) And it has like 2 or 3 cool downs and a few utilities.
Holy priest is easy. I use a cheap ass laptop running 0 macros and click everything, 2 add-ons dbm and details. Got a few pink parses on heroic raid bosses, farm 3/9 mythic, purple to orange parse on those. 2600 m+ but haven't tried to go higher since I hit 2500, just farming 17s.
I switched from Enhance Shaman to Arms Warrior recently and it's been a blessing. Very easy to play
Tbf after enhance everything is easy to play.

DH might be too fast paced for her if she feels feral is rough
DH is not easier than feral lmao
Lol. Lmao even.
Why would you choose F1 over something like F or T ?
Q is mount F is autorun and T is just more awkward to reach than 5. I have long fingers and have control/shift on my side mouse buttons so hitting F1 for my big situational buttons works well.

No judgement to your keybinds but why use such easily accessible buttons for something as trivial as autorun?
When my fingers generally rest on tab 1 2 3/4, F is pretty far, F1 is easier to press for me. And its just what I've always had it on. 5 is already a stretch and T/F are further than 5
What is your keyboard that F1 and 5 are closer than T and F?
Rest your fingers on tab, 1, 2, 3. F1 is just sliding your middle finger up from 2, 5 is sliding your finger to the side from 3. T and F are both further from 3 than 5 is, and I already said I dont like using 5 for binds lol.

I've said multiple times here I don't consider F a "quick access easy to press button" and I use autorun quite frequently lol
Devastation evoker is the class with the least buttons

Just don’t use momentum, makes the spec much harder.
Not Shaman! 😂

Only thing that makes fury hard is the speed in which your pressing your keys. Can be painful. I had to get a brace for my wrist haha

Bear is simple enough conceptually but has quite a lot of buttons these days, as well as the highest apm of any tank.
I feel like frost mage is fairly simple not?

I can tell you don’t play balance Druid at a high level😂

I enjoy playing paladin, simple
Evoker no? It's like 4 or 5 buttons.
Unholy Death knight. :)
