I'll go with Holy Paladins. So easy all you have to do is roll your head across the keyboard. Or bind all your heal buttons to your mouse and just throw away the keyboard ... but then you wont get the fun of rolling your head around on a keyboard.

I personally like using my feet + keyboard to heal while I read a book or do some homework..

You could probably top the healing meters while taking a nap.

Druid
Balance or Healing, like 3 click classes

healing: Healing touch, rejuv, regrowth
maybe pop in some swiftmend

balance: starfire, starfire, starfire....
pop up IS a couple times in the middle and you have the highest dps of the raid.

You all must be retarded.. you're not actually explaining why its the easiest class to play in a raiding perspective, you can't just go by what your guild members do in a raid.

You're not taking in account the amount of TPS/DPS you put out in a raid

Mages/Shammys are probably the hardest
A warlock can be on the top of the DPS meter but putting out 300 less TPS than
a mage coming in 5th on the DPS meter, same with shammys.. mages only have
one REAL threat reduction and its on a 5 min CD and that threat can be regained
so easily. Shammys don't even have a threat reduction spell.

Anybody class can DPS, but DPSing well is another thing

There is never going to be an easiest class to raid with

Hunters, no dispelling or anything, but they have to keep watch of pets and traps though :>

[DarkYoshi87]

Mages. Frost ones to be specific. All they have to do is spam Frostbolt and they are auto-win.

Thanks to everyone who voted and even bigger thanks to those who voiced themselves. Let's keep the poll going.

Hunters aren't easy to play. Yes you can easily just auto-shot and go afk but that won't make any good damage. A good hunter knows shot rotations and how to weave in steadys manually and use arcane/multi at the right times, knows how to FEIGN (trust me alot of hunters don't). And know how to adapt your rotation to your attackspeed and haste buffs is also something a good hunter must do.

Those that says casters are easy to play aren't any good casters either. A good caster uses a cast bar mod like quartz to time spells according to your latency to get good dps. If you use a castbar mod and are able to time shots with very good precision your dps can increase quite a bit.

Paladins, and all healers at that can't just spam one button. They need to use different spells according to the situation to manage their mana better. Just spamming flash of light isn't enough to keep a tank up all the time, but spam holy light and you'l go out of mana. Healers also need to be aware of AoE damage and heal the raid while also making sure tank doesn't die. Raid encounters aren't just tank and spank where you just can heal the tank. Nearly all bosses have AoE damage to the raid also. Healers also need to work together and predict other healers to make sure they don't throw a heal on a target that was healed 0.2 second before your heal landed so you don't get unnecessary overhealing.

I've raided with hunter, mage, paladin and warrior, and I don't think that any class is "easiest" to play. It's just a matter of opinion and what playstyle suits you best that make a class "easy".

Mage, Duh

All people who say Holy Paladins don't know how to play, period.

And if it is a Holy Paladin stating it, then you know how bad the Holy Paladin is.

Paladins require HUGE amounts of timing, and HUGE amounts of choice when it comes down to it. What rank? What time to use DF, and DIll. It requires fast reaction to press stopcast when you see that your heal will be a waste on the MT since he just got another mega heal.

I know some Paladins, most likely the ones on this thread FOL spam. You know what, if I wanted short, fast, effective heals I'd play a Druid, Paladins are made for big heals, they are the most mana efficient big healers in the game, FOL spamming is retarded.

If anything I'd consider being a Holy Paladins the HARDEST job in a raid... that is... EFFECTIVE Holy Paladins, I have no doubt there are many Holy Paladins that don't know how to play, that can't beat others on healing metres and think it's just their class, that have to use huge amounts of pots because they are needlessly spamming heals.

Reacting to spike damage is the most important and more reaction-relied job in the raid, no other class can do it better, yet at the same time this what makes healing as a Holy Paladin hard.

I personally stated Shamans. Lay down totems, then spam w/e your spec needs you to spam, chain heals will get you top of the metres and with spriests you can do this for long periods... Since chain heals literally heal for you. Stormstrike if you are Enhance, hell our Shaman didn't even think to purge ROS' shield when we lacked mages, and elemental, Lightning Bolt, and use Bloodlust when needed. Mainly talking about Resto Shamans however, they are brought in for AOE heals and their job is mega easy.
