Best PvP Class

Iceman12321 · February 2005

Searched around, but didnt come across a poll regarding the Best PvP class (sorry if this is a repost), in each of your opinions. I got some, "whats the most worthwhile", "whats the most rewarding"...anyways...

When done with the poll, your welcome to post and explain why you decided to pick that particular class.

jimothypetro · February 2005

Shadow priest. Can beat ANY class in 1v1 duels, and doesn't rely on long cooldowns(such as vanish, blind, preperation, etc. for a rogue).

Also they are great for group PvP since they can heal(though they will likely be the first one taken down since they are the "best").

And they can mind control people off cliffs and into lava. ::::28::

Iceman12321 · February 2005

thats awesome, priests get mind control? at which lvl?

I was never a real fan of the cleric in Everquest, but how does it compare with the priest in WoW? will they get old fast?

Drunklight · February 2005

shadow priests CAN lose, stunlock of a rogue, heck shamans are pretty firm opponents

paladins... killable but takes days

it does come off to what you prefer, as rogue you choose your battles, strong fast, alot of long-cooldown spells

shaman, very verstile, cant ellaborate as i never played one past lvl 10, but are very hard to defeat

shadowpriest, basicly its a priest with high damage that comes from shadow talents, not to be mistaken as stronger then mage in nukes. the advantage of being one is utility, like mind control, if you are close to a cliff.. and the really big one - your still a pries that can heal, wich is more then enough for low level instances, and is good enough for higher once... the end game tho your more of a 2nd healer in instance grps, can allways respec

thats atleast my thought of best 3 pvp classes.. oh yea, priest get mindcontrol at lvl 30

shadowpriests do rock, but they're hard to lvl up unless you got a constant crew during the early mid lvls

shamans rock because of their versatility, they can hang with anyone pvp and then at 40 they get mail which makes them harder to kill; use yur totems

pallys...i hate them, i play horde side.....they're nasty during low and upper mid lvls....you just have to know how to stun them and give them so much hell that they cant heal themself; outlast their mana or kill them somewhat fast...sucks..but i hear they start suckin alittle at the highend

rogues are just fun, when you learn how to kick properly you can really rock someone's noodle

with my shammy and rogue, i can kill everyone else kinda easily(cept for some of those priests) and only have trouble with pallys cuz they can stun me and heal themselves and have so much mana

i've heard of some 60 hunters being sick too

just pick what you like, but if its yur first time playing, i'd pick priest because you luv him and lvl him up because its yur first character

numatic · February 2005

It only costs 1g for your first retrain in talent points. So you can lvl up as a healing priest and respec to shadow if you want.

Here is some info (im lvling up a priest alt right now, lots of fun but can eb tough solo)

They can only wear cloth. They do get an armor + attack buff spell, but it only lasts 3mins. Although it can be cast over and over again, every 3 mins is a pain. They dont have the damage output of a mage, but they have a higher survivability with the assortment of heal spells which makes them deadly. Although I dont have the spell yet, I cant wait. Its called Mana Burn. It basicaly damages them and gives you mana back. Looks sweet.

I currently have a 48 rogue as a main. I quit for 2 months or I would be 60 by now. I say my rogue, against any class, is a 50/50 chance of winning. It all depends on the skill of the player and there lvl (because if they are 3 or more lvls higher, they are alot harder to beat). Every class in this game does well. Warriors are probably the only class who needs help. Shamans need a little nerf IMO. If you know how to play well, they are probably one of the strongest group PvP classes.

Lol if you knew anything about a pally then you would know they go OOM in about 3-5 heals 4-6 with talents

?

i've battled many pallys and they're hard fought fights.....wtf are you saying? i'm alittle intoxicated now(my fault), but are you saying that they can heal 3-6 times during an avg battle?? kuz i'm saying they have alot of mana(and if they do, therefore they can heal a couple times).. i'm confused...

tell me yur point...

3-6 heals is like a minute or 2 in a good fight; and a rogue or basically anything else in a battle is out of juice by then... thats why pallys hurt...and only pallys are "oom" after 3-6 heals in a fight...ya know?

if i knew anyting...

the situation is, if you knew anything youd understand that pallys have a small advantage over everything else because if they didnt kids would be hating on the shamans for owning everyone elsse....shamans and pallys cancel it out; crazy hybrid toons that actually work out

I like mages, but then I am just a fan of magic (in games :P)

Fenrir767 · February 2005

Shadow priests really are not all that hard to beat 1v1 especially if your an undead rogue. First of all there lack of AOE to break stealth sucks for them. Once I stun them I can usually kill them in about 5 hits without letting them get out of stun. Shadow priest are damn good but far from being the best pvpers in the game. Casters have a really hard time with rogues especially if they are using crippling and mind numbing poisons that's just nasty.

superpata · February 2005

Well rogues can beat many classes if they get the jump.. yes in that case the priest would probably die. A good priest will have a good chance to kill an undead rogue if the combat starts out of stealth and after pain he wont stealth again..

Tinybina · February 2005

I am the best PVP class...

MONsTER 54 Shaman Illidan

Dont believe me come find out....

Shadow Priest- The only weakness they really have(besides cloth) is that they need to get close to you in order to cast there fear.. If you can keep your distance and kill them fast enough there not much trouble, since thier dots (while formidable) are nothing without fear...

Rogues are also pretty tuff provided the person knows what there doing.. If a good rogue gets the jump on you you will be perma stunned to your grave period...

Palllys are just pallys.. or cats with 9 lives......Cant fight more then 1 at a time... you will not win if your solo and they have any type of skills....

Mages... bwhahahahahaha... Kidding aside this class can be uber.. But as I say all the time it takes the right person pushing keys to make it come alive...Arcane explosion is a beast if used properly.

Warriors.. alot of people sleep on Warriors... well most of them you can sleep on but once agian if a person has any skill and smarts it will be a very tuff fight... Charge, hamstring, intercept, stun, macro switch out for 2h wpn real quick and exeute for the W1n!!! A good warrior will Swap 1h + shield and 2h on you all through the fight... But you wont see this used much since I did say "A good warrior" and there are not that many around....

Druids.. Most people who play this class suck.. But there are a few out there that understand how godly this class can be if played right... What skilled person cant win with Roots, stealth, stuns, Dots, Armor (bear), and healing....If a skilled person gets there hands on a druid and builds for PVP... Look out...

Shaman- Another thats if played right can be off the chain...But most dont play them right and think they can Frost shock and Purge for the W1n everytime....

All and all I would say there is no best PVP class if your a person that has skills, Each Class has ways to beat the other Blizzard did a good job with this I think.. But if your without skills I would say that Shadow Priest/Rogues/Pallys are the easiest to PVP with.

Johnark · February 2005

If you have the patience to level up a Priest, go for that. If not, go for a Paladin. But since Priests are quite rare in WoW, you can make a Paladin and there's big chances you won't encounter a Priest (or at least not too many) during a raid.

Only class that can beat a Paladin is a Priest. Only class that can beat a Priest is... another Priest. lol

I still prefer playing a Paladin though. It's more fun, you get to use all kinds of weapons and wear Plate armor. even with the recent nerf, we can still easily kill a Warrior! I love it!

GrossMesser · February 2005

Shadow priest are quite good at pvp but only when they have fear. WotF and a blacksmith trinket grant immunity to fear. So any melee with fear immunity has there way with a shadow priest. The priest cant keep them away unless they use a net-o-matic, witch has some vary bad backfires for a caster.

I would say that all classes have the potential to rock in PvP if they're played right. I've seen hunters own paladins and warlocks own rogues, so it basically falls in the hands of player skill. I'm curious though, I've had a pretty heavy reliance on frost shock and purge in my fights and found them to be pretty useful. What else do you use though, if you don't mind my asking?

superpata · February 2005

Can the undead, with fear immunity, use wotf and then the trinket so he gets free of two fears in one fight? Also can you use the trinket after being feared (as with wotf)?

Well, I wouldn't say the only class. Hunters can beat paladins, and as a shaman I've beaten them as well (even after they used devine shield and health potions). It requires a lot of running around and kiting, but vs. kiting is there very much a pally can do?

tu_uilwen · February 2005

My only question is:

Why play the "best" when you can jsut play what you like?

Like people say Warriors right now SUCK!! but I love my Warrior. I am currently a 35th warrior and I REALLY enojoy my char, reguardless what others say and all that. I know their not the best. But I play what I enjoy.

But some of the best I would say are:

Priest
Rogue
Mage

Prist are good because they have dot spell and DD spells and mind control and can none the sless heal them selfs. See if your not say like a warrior with shield bash( makes the caster unable to cast spells in the school of magic they where casting in when bashed) then it may be hard to sto[p them from healing. And they also get a spell that makes them invulnerable I believe.

Rogue-If they spec in say subtle... it makes it alot harder for people to see and they get better DMG with there stealth stks and skills. But me I liek to go combat and get better crits and parry chances and stuff so i am harder to hit. They are also fast with all there strikes so they do some decent DMG quickly.

Mage- Good for polymorphing, immolizing targrets, and dealing some pretty dang good magic dmg......arcane explosion, arcane missle, fireball. Mages are pretty good but i have never been much of a caster character, so I have not advanced much as a mage. but what i have played i have enjoyed and what i have seen from high end mages it seems cool.

But like i said befor...why play the best whenm you can just enjoy?

Can't use the trinket while feared, but yes, you can use both of them.

superpata · February 2005

Hum, i guess a good priest could live without the first fear but two..? im guessing they won t survive the undead rogue unless they can dispell the fear trinket when activated.

I have to speak up for warriors. You may not see many "good" ones around, because its harder to play a nerfed class. Just because you can't beat a pally in god-mode doesn't make you a "bad" warrior. I refuse to believe that people who play warriors are any less skilled that those who play paladins, rogues, etc. I think it is sad that "World of Warcraft" built the warrior class to end up being the weakest in PvP.

Well apparently you people really are less skilled - the vast majority of you, that is. Most warriors are a walk in the park, having no clue or strategy of how to win the fight. They fight... well, much like you would expect warriors to, just stand there and swing away. Every once in a while, I'll come across a good warrior who will own the everliving shit out of me. I hate to see how powerful the _skilled_ warriors are going to be once they "un-nerf" your class. Then we just need to give it a few months for the rest of you to finally learn how to play your fucking class and then you'll all be uber and we'll all be crying about how Warriors need a nerf.

Regardless of the game, this cycle never fucking changes, I swear. Pathetic.

Oh, and to answer the OP, ANY class has the potential to be the best. I've seen equal level warlocks own priests and rogues in kickass 1v1 fights as well as druids kicking the crap out of paladins. It's mainly about skill, strategy and a little luck.

hahahahaahahahahahahahhahahahaaha... bullshit. Pallys may have small mana pools but 3-5 heals? no f'in way. 3-5 heals is like a third of there mana try 9-15 heals and there done.

Arazel · February 2005

I think Priests are the best pvp class for fair encounter
When you gank, get some warriors/palas and Mages

Paladin is kinda bad for pvp, got some unfair skills. Shamans beat paladins normaly, and they are more balanced. I play since release and have a lvl 60 paladin and a 50+ Priest (undead), i love pvping with my priest. And with my paladin i only do PVE, or pvpraids. Its very boring with a paladin.
Seal, judment, seal, hackhackhackhack, heal.. And with the divine shield you can break every effect.. like polymorph, all debuffs, poisons, disease, etc. Its kinda lame, divine shield then use hearthstone .

Well FEAR sucks too, when youre some lvl lower then the enemy he can fear you all the time and it holds long too. On same lvl fights its better but still hurts when you run around soulless and the priest/warlock debuffs/dot you.

Whats kinda funny, mind control when youre in a high area, and jump down the mountain/cliff whatever.

Wow isnt balanced enaugh for real pvp fun, no battlegrounds for fair groups. ATM on pvp server the most is gank!

And the most ppl whine when they get ganked, but they still gank others. Please change the realm.

No, I would have to disagree. I play a lvl 51 Pally on Malygos server ( normal ). I have if i can remember correctly, ( i dont play him all that much cause its so freakin boring playing one that high of a lvl ), is around 2400 mana. give or take 300 mana.

We have different healing spell lvls. While its pointless to heal for 500 dmg when we have 4k+ life, we choose to use the best healing spell which takes up like 600-800 mana if i remember correctly. So you do the math, thats exactly right, we can only heal about 3-4 times in a single fight.

Now, thats 3-4 with the mana we have and thats period. But if the pally is playing his class right, he should have on the mana regen blessing, and depending on who he is up against, using a shield as well. Because when fighting with a pally, fights are drawn out over a long period of time (1vs1) this usually results in the pally earning back about 200-400 mana in that fight. If not more. So while he is using his blessings and his seals, accounting for a very small % of mana loss, he still has plenty of mana to heal himself. Not to mention that the shield can buy him a little mana regen time as well. All in all, he still has healing potions too ( which we all know witht he 2 minute timer can really only be used once ).. Also, they also have "lay on hands" which if used at the right time ( can make all the difference ) takes up 1 mana and heals all your life. ( but that uses all mana )

So, overall, I would grant the high-lvl, high intellect, skilled pally a 5-6 heal per session plan. Those are solid number and i have plenty of experience. If i had some hints on how to kill us, I would say... if you can disarm us, great... also, if you can stay away from us, great... Kiting i think can work. of course.. if we were smart we would stay away and just heal, but than we'd be losing valuable mana... Mages are our hardest oponents.... Basically.. stand back.. blast away, and if you can, silence us or disrupt our healing when possible!
