Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2079 Joined: 1 Jan 2008   | Priest-Mage or Shadow Priest-Warlock were pretty brutal in my day, although they might have been nerfed. I haven't played for a while. |

At last patch before WotLK, I respecced Demo, figured locks were going to be crap, and didn't renew subscription. Sure locks got new stuff, but it looks to me their fundamental weaknesses didn't change any. It'd be a fun PvE class but it's really stupidly designed when it comes to PvP. One of those classes forever doomed to be either imba or fail, depending on patches, unless it gets a *big* overhaul with fear mechanics, or something out of left field. Warrior is another class quite like that. |
On the Record  Posts: 6467 Joined: 24 Apr 2008   | Depends. One on one? 2v2? 3v3? One on one classes are a big mash of paper/scissors/rock. A rogue may make life hell for casters but they are soon squished by plate-wearers... who are in turn casted into oblivion... who are in turn shanked... 2v2 Is very sprawled, with most classes able to swing their weight, and 3v3 is where the patters start to fall into place again, with a healer essential and casters becoming your DPS of choice. For humble rogues like myself, 2v2 is always fun, and there's nothing like an unsuspecting mage in Battlegrounds to brighten my day. |
Copy Clerk  Posts: 59 Joined: 5 Jan 2009    | most fun in pvp ive had is my protadin :D just stand around taking a beating as people try and wear down 27k of life and w8 for my fellow horde to turn up is good |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 4229 Joined: 27 Apr 2008  | A Prot Paladin and Rogue can usually do well, with the Pally soaking up damage and the rogue sneaking around to sap one while the Pally soaks up damage, then they both pound on the non-sapped one. Then again, WoW is fairly balanced these days, so there's not a whole lot that is just complete pwnage. |

Infamous Scribbler  Posts: 648 Joined: 6 Feb 2008   | I quit while BC was in full swing. At that time, warriors were pretty powerful, as were feral druids. I could handle anything else fairly well. Rogues gave me grief, but I was a mage, so that's to be expected. |
Muckraker  Posts: 334 Joined: 10 Jan 2009    | it would have to be either Death Knight at the moment if they're played right or Rogues or even a good frost mage Kinda off topic but the Death Knights are getting nerfed to hell in the next patch along with the locks thought it would be a good FYI. |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2940 Joined: 22 Jun 2008   | Holy, Retribution, and Protection Paladins in a 3v3 group. When everyone can res and the healer is wearing plate, watch out |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 2914 Joined: 21 May 2008 | Let's see...I'm a Death Knight. Therefore I lack originality. But let's compare Vs Warlock- Lichborne+anti magic shield+ CC pet= Deathknight wins The worst thing is most of these class could beat us. I meet a lot of crappy Death Knights.. For once, I wish it was the bad people who would give a bad reputation. |

What lock were you playing? You never went SL/SL in arena? Or just chain fearing anyone in Battlegrounds? At the moment, Death Knights dominate battlegrounds, but not so much in arena. Dreamstate druids aren't the imba HoT+Travelform that they used to be, there isn't enough resilience yet for the hots to be effective. Instead feral druids have been buffed quite a bit, and are now actually decent as pure dps. ...God I need to renew my subscription... |
Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 757 Joined: 23 Nov 2008    | My Paladin does alright... But a well specced Mage/Warlock/Warrior can easily cram the snot out of me given the right circumstances and equipment. Death Knights I'm sorry to say, vs paladins, well lets say I haven't seen a good match up yet. (Please someone show me otherwise) Blizzard needs to do some tweeking on the Death Knight abilities, or on Paladins because I really feel sorry for them. =( |
Gone Gonzo  Posts: 1404 Joined: 7 Apr 2008   | well I play a Death knight but I am blood spec so I dont have any problem beating anyone in 1v1 but In groups blood is not as usefull. |

Pulitzer Laureate  Posts: 959 Joined: 1 Jan 2009    | Wow is god awful for Pvp Ret Pallys, DKs, Rogues, and Hunters are the best. Everthing and everything else will get killed in less than 2 seconds, not even travel form with save you from them. |
Paperboy  Posts: 33 Joined: 14 May 2009    | Paladins are the #1 choice they are warrior who can cast spells and heal them selves.... |
