Which Class Is Best At WoW PvP?

Filed under WoW PvP

I have been closely playing nothing but PvE play for the longest time. I am now pretty bored with it and want to start a new character on a WoW PvP realm. I want to know which class is the best at World of Warcraft PvP so I won’t waste my time leveling a character just to find out it isn’t very good at PvP.

If only it was that simple. Then again if there was one class that was able to be classified as the best for PvP I imagine we would see hundreds of that class being played. Thank goodness Blizzard really works hard on trying to balance all the classes. So, with that said, there isn’t just one class that is the best at PvP.

One thing you have to think about is what style of PvP are you wanting to play? Are you going to focus on doing battlegrounds, 1v1, arena, or world PvP? I will give my advice on which type of classes would be good for each of these different parts of WoW PvP but ultimately pretty much any class you want to play can be good at PvP. Every class has its strengths as well as weaknesses.

For battlegrounds pretty much any class will do but you may want to focus on a spellcasting class such as warlock, mage, or even hunter (for their ranged DPS). Range is good at battlegrounds but I do my fair share of battlegrounds with Apadwe (my lvl 70 Warrior) and if I have a healer I can really tear up some alliance quickly.

World PvP and 1v1 I would really go with a hunter for this. Just keep your opponent slow and hit them with ranged DPS and your pet and you will be hard to stop. I would also recommend a rogue here as well since you can stealth and sap. That makes it really easy to kill anyone.

The new arena system is really cool and sometimes really hard. There isn’t really one specific class here. You really need to focus on the team as a whole for this. One common thing I have seen for many different arena teams is the use of a warrior. This will be a really good class to use in the arena if you are teamed up with a class that can support you.

Of course the ultimate choice on class is up to you. I really just wanted to give you some guidelines on what types of classes would be good so you won’t get locked down into thinking I have to be this class in order to be good at PvP mentality.

    The answer also depends on what level you PvP at. If you are interested in doing Warsong Gulch with a level 19 toon, then rogues are definitely the most powerful class at that level. lIn fact, a level 19 rogue is probably most overpowered class at any level, compared to other classes at the same level. Casters and hybrids at that level still haven’t gotten many of their class defining abilities. At level 29, in my opinion, hunters and rogues are very close to being equal. After level 29 the classes become more equal, except for warriors, who have a tough time until they really start to get big advantages from gear near level 60.

    The answer also depends on what spec you choose, of course. And what type of PvP you want to do. Druids and hunters have a hard time in the Arena, due to space constraints.

  2. Incarnadine says:

    Rogue is not overpowered at 10-19 gulch. If you want to win 10-19 gulch, you get a hunter. Hunters are the best class and easiest to play in the 10-19 because of their ability to kite. The 20-29 gulch/arathi is the home of the rogues, due to their newly obtained poisons. The 30-39 is warriors, they get a good load of armor and weapons during that level and can be really dangerous. The 40-49 is shamans and warlocks, shamans get mail armor making them even tougher to take down, and can easily get rid of people using windfury. Warlocks get death coil and soulfire making them even tougher to take down. 50-59 is alot more even and classes like the priest, the mage and the druid seem to do alot more damage than they used to. However it is what you like that is the most to consider.

    Some notable abilities however – shaman and druid – ability to transform into a creature makes them great for flag running. Rogue stealth – if you have never played a rogue u will never be able to play anything else again. Almost complete safety in stealth allows you to go around un noticed and make decisions without being rushed into battle. Hunter – flare/stealth detection kiting. The hunter has the ability to keep you away, and be aware of his pet! A beast mastery hunters pet is as difficult to take down as another player. A warrior has many tools at hand and how strong he is is based on his items. A warlock has many many tools available to get his enemies down without them coming near him. This class commonly does the most damage in bgs.

    Hav fun

  3. JG says:

    the best class for pvp i think is a fury/spec warrior.if u put a warrior fury/spec against a rouge at 20 and up a warrior would own. the warrior would not do as much damage but if it had decent gear would have way more health then the rougue making it great at pvp. they suck at instaces though because fury/ warriors cant tank as well as protection/spec

  4. Apadwe says:

    An Arms/Fury hybrid build would be, in my opinion, the best way to go for pvp for a warrior. Fury by itself is extremely useful for PvE.

  5. trevor says:

    Ok, acually, I prefer rogues, hunters, and warriors for PvP.
    Rogue-Arena
    Hunter-BG
    Warrior-either or

    When I BG at 70, warriors have the most dmg, followed by rogues, then hunters (usually)
    It acually depends on the player behind the keyboard, so like a mage could rape everybody else in a BG in one match, but then he/she can’t stay alive in the next.
    It all varies.
    THERE ISN’T A BETTER CLASS FOR PVP!
    Get over it.
    If you wna reply to me, come to:
    Gurubashi
    Horde
    Crepsley
    Saintxeltic
    Saintgazor

  6. Gmaster says:

    Do not be a (pvp) palladin unless at 70 ur gonna go ret with crusader strike. otherwise you get owned, bubble doesnt matter.

  7. Mike says:

    Everyone only focus on dps, that’s what I used to focus on as well as a Marksmanship Hunter.

    Until one time I try to kill a Holy Pally (level 70), b!tch just standing there and I can’t kill him, I cannot kill that b!tch. that holy pally just stand there and laughed at me.

    At the end, best pvp class is the class with the best gear.

  8. Ryax says:

    The best class at pvp depends on three main things:

    1. The player behind the keyboard – Do you know your class, how to use him/her to the best of your ability? Do you know the best abilities to use in certain situations? Can you think fast because a lot of battles start instantly? etc etc etc

    2. Your gear – Matters, but not as much as you’d think! If the gear difference between players is quite great then this could be a problem. However, Goliath had 3476 stamina, 3726 strength, 3276 agility and an epic two handed mace of death but little David still kicked his ass! Like the story, WoW is the same. If you can use your class well then gear shouldn’t really matter too much. Gear is an advantage yes, but seriously, it’s not going to make you win because of this advantage.

    3. How well your class can work as a team – Remember, any class (yes, even hybrids as they spec) have a specific role. In a fight with a few enemies and friends your class could have it’s time to shine. Healers, heal! DPS’ers, DPS! It’s pretty much that simple. Ofc if you can try and help anybody on the front line (warriors, rogues and the like) for example if the warrior is low on hp and he/she are making a break from it try and kite the opposition.

    That’s my two cents anyway

  9. Hoogae says:

    I know Blzzard tries to balnce out the classes but it seems that the warlock is better at the mage in everything execpt cc and aoe.

  10. Akira says:

    FROST MAGE, I’m a well geared frost mage and I can beat anyone in 1v1, even venge glad geared ppl. Frost can confuse ppl, hits hard, and has good survivability if played right. One problem is mana in battlegrounds.

  11. Ryan says:

    In my opinion I think a Shadow Priest. They’re just down right sick, I pwn ass with mine even warlocks and I totally rape warriors.

  12. kane says:

    u couldnt ffurther from the truth…a holy paladin is in fact one of if not THE hardest class to take down in pvp, and everyone knows it, ret pallys just suck balls, they go OOM in like 10 seconds of combat, plus they do shit all damage

    holy paladins FTW, have any problems? look me up

    imallin

    70 holy pally

  13. Frankie says:

    ok the best pvp charater in the game in my opinion would have to be a warlock played bye an experianced player. For example ur pwning most people in bg and a little wimpy rogue comes up to u who wont even look u in the face come on. ok so he goes stun thats fair and he does all this stuff till i go potion oh yeah now u hav to hit me 2 to 3 more times hehe and in the time i hav free i go howl of terror , fear , corruption , curse of agony , unstable afliction k hes gets free from my fear i go amplify curse then curse of exhaustion ( i made a macro for this ) life tap till full mana , fear ,drain life woot and the number 1 enemy of a warlock is dead ^^ YAY .

  14. Ophidian says:

    Okay… I pvp all the time and these stats are for the straight up pvp spec’s, you should know them, I’ll put the class and what in my opinion they get trouble with

    Lock SL/SL : Shams, rogues, hunters… anything that can dps them fast enough while at the same time shutting them down
    Warr MS : SP thats well geared is tough, enhance is the warr sucks, heal classes, frost mages, feral dru’s
    Hunter : Warrs, a good rogue is a prob if you don’t got BM
    Mage Frost : No experience here but I’d say a good Ret Palla, huntards, rogues
    Druids : Yes, you can run from anything, don’t make you good… sticking in a fight, I’m not sure with this class either but I’d say probably get trouble with hunts, mages, and locks
    Palla Ret : Holy just… doesnt die 1/1, they can hold up literally for about 5+ minutes vs most classes without dieing, as a ret palla its all skill based, generally their horrible but a skilled pvp’er quite literally can kill anyone in a few shots
    Rogue : Hunters, warriors = death, not 100% but I’ve had problems vs druids on mine but I imagine in the high pvp brackets its a bit different
    Shaman : Uhh… lol? Okay, sham’s are LETHAL unattended but in all fairness any good pvp’er will total you 1/1 with cc vs all of your FROST SHOCKS!
    Shad Priest : Very mean, but if your not geared and/or your bubble breaks you better hope your targets near dead.

    Don’t bother replying to this ’cause I’m not checking up on it but in my opinion the best pvp class is…
    HUNTARDS! BM talent popped is an instant /iwin buttong and I hate them, I believe a Surv/MM hunter that has skill will top these hunters no matter what case except 1 vs 1… my reason for picking hunts is noteably HIGH dps with unbelieveable amounts of cripple and snare effects along with dispels… and as proof…
    Wing clip, entangling traps, wing clip, imp wing clip, wyvern sting, scatter shot, intimidation, frost trap, freezing trap, concussive shot, feign death, 1 dispel on arcane shot, viper sting, 30% poison dispel resistance, 50% heal debuff on AS, improved concussive shot, swiftness on pets, HIGH spell pushback, high crit chances, aspect of the monkey, AotV, AotC, Hunters mark on stealths, I’m running out of things but you get the point, the icing on the cake though… Beastial Wrath

  15. Ishadowl says:

    Ok.
    HEALER:RESTRO DRUID
    WORLD PVP: SL/SL LOCK
    ARENA: RESTRO DRUID/ MS WARRIOR or SL/SL LOCK
    BG:BM/SURV HUNTER/ SS ROGUE

  16. zaxuigc says:

    warriors are bad ass.

    but it really doesnt matter, any class can beat any class, some players just like to do different things.

  17. Raethen says:

    I’m seeing an extremely low amount of mention of warlocks on your postings, Apadwe, and I’m not sure why this is, because I’m fairly sure WoW has defined warlocks has “the duelling class.” I play a UA Warlock spec’ed for arena (yes, in my opinion, UA is far better than SL/SL) and I think it is common knowledge Affliction Warlocks wreck havoc in BG’s. I’m not saying they are overpowered, but at 29 and 39 I was easily beating the classes you mentioned to be most powerful.

    To the person who said warriors with a hybrid spec are the best: No way. I can take down warriors easily, no matter the spec.

    To the person who said warlocks are owned shamans: no. I duel shamans all the time and I win about 75% of the time. Also, you seem to be ignoring the CC factor of warlocks; you said “anything that can out-DPS them.” No, that is not true, warlocks are very good against marksman hunters and BM is only a trouble in duels, and Fear/Howl of Terror/Death Coil make up for everything BUT BM hunters with their win button. (Heh)

    If you know what you are doing as an affliction warlock, you are quite possibly one of the best PvP classes out there, considering PvP at 70 has become a rock-paper-scissors deal, mainly decided about what spec/class you are facing.

    The only two classes/specs that hold any great advantage over warlocks would be a BM Hunter and a Rogue. Rogues are handleable with all the instant-cast CC’s and BM Hunters are only a trouble in 1v1. There are many classes and specs that can easily match a warlock, but those are the only two I consistently find myself failing against. I have noticed mages, Boomkin, Shadow Preists, and Holy Paladins stand no match against me in BG’s, duels, and arena.

    Yes, this is coming from a biased source, but NO, I am not saying warlocks are the best PvP Class. I am saying they are a very, very good one and I think not mentioning them in your “best arena 3v3 makeup”(considering they filled the roles of CC and ranged DPS you mentioned, as well as being able to DPS all three opponents) and “Best WoW PvP Class.”

  18. vamp says:

    I agree with Raethen that a warlock will usually dominate in any BG. I play a 70 rogue and have a 60% chance of killing the warlock if 1v1, just depends on what cooldowns I have on hold. Other than a warlock I have no trouble killing any class with any spec. I have noticed a big change with the new badge gear, I have to be more careful upon approaching any class since the DPS has increased. For rogues stealth = survival, Subt FTW!! What is very annoying though: rogues must respec every time for a raid.. and respec again for BG’s, talk about a lot of wasted money.

  19. john says:

    Yeah im surprised there is not much mention of locks as well. Imo they r very fun class to play. I usually own most other classes 75% of the time. I say they r the most well rounded in pvp. They can do just as much if not more dps than any other class…. They r the best at mana efficency considering mages n priests go oom more often (depends on spec. n gear of course). In battlegrounds they good because ranged class is best imo giving most kills and honorable kills… ex: hunters, mages, priests, etc. In arena they as well awesome due to their dps, dots, fears n drains. I lol at close range dps classes warriors, rogues, etc. If u can keep ur opponent off u ur almost guranteed to win… having full S3 warrior n partly geared ret paladin i always get owned by most clothie casters cuz i can never get close enough to touch them n have little to no long range spells to hit em. Only if i can keep myself glued to them can i beat them squishys. But everyone always forgets there is no such thing as best pvp class… it all depends on many factors… 1) how well the player is n how good they know their class Ex: one lock can beat another lock, one rogue can beat another rogue… no two players alike with same skill. 2) gear… Ex: if two ppl r well closely matched in skill the one with better equipment has higher stats wich means has the upper hand. 3) your team members… EX: u can b best pvp wow player with best gear n skill… but u can never win in arena or bg’s if ur team sucks or does not listen. All these factors come into play. Btw if u just want world pvp…. (i enjoy it myself ganking other low lvls n raiding towns hehe) i would recommend a rogue. They r so much fun to play due to their stealth. U will b able to get the jump on anyone lol…. alot of fun. These r all just my two cents.

  20. aa says:

    rogues r da best

  21. Brandon says:

    You do understand a well played 2v2 arena druid/rogue team can rock people’s s**t. Warlocks are good for spamming like a faking wimp just dotting and fearing, rogues – sneaky sneaky cheapshot.

    All in all a player who knows how to use his/her class to it’s fullest potential can rape no matter what kind of charecter you are. But, I must admit Frost Mage ftw!

    SL/SL Lock or Rogue is Best you’re gonna get for DPS, and Best Healers, obv Dr00ds.

    I just respeced for 15g as a sub rogue immeditaly went into arathi basin and pwned sum serious ass. best thing is a lvl 70 well geard comb/sub rogue. get extra dodge or increased gouge time or reduced energy for ss then get 5 precisons points then last 5 points get under increasing dmg output from offhand u will pwn everyone you ever meet

  25. grayson says:

    srry server is SHADOWMOON FTW we win every bg after 10-19 wsg stupid ne/ gnome rogue twinks

  26. domi says:

    retri pallies do not suck balls in pvp at 70 with lots of hp and good gear i always end up top 5 damage done in av ab wsg and …
    every class and specc can be good if you play it properly.

  27. Hildabrand says:

    My affliction warlock can heal himself and do mass damage at the same time. He has an enormous amount of mana because of dark pact. And to be truthfull, he pretty much owns most any class I go against. However, I dueled a shammy in gadgetzan 10 or more times and he won probably about 8 to 2. He was one tough cow!

  28. mudder says:

    I have played a fair amount of bg and some arena. I have a feral druid and have the most trouble with casters. Rogues only kill me when they can stun me enough to stop bear form. If I can get into bear form they are usually done. Same for hunters, feral charge eliminates their slows and their dps is terrible without ranged (BM doesn’t matter for feral druid) 2k mangles make short work of most classes.

    I am not very good pvp’r so I use macros and switch forms a lot. My son plays a hunter and is always in top 3 for damage and killing blows. But, he can also lead on shammy or warrior. I would say for a skilled player class doesn’t matter at all. For a suck pvp’r like me easy classes to do well with are Rogue, Lock and Feral druid. I die way to quick with mage and priests (I am old with slow reaction time), boomkin druid is worthless in my opinion, though I would agree druid is the best healer.

    To sum up, if you are a poor pvp’r Lock and Rogue are good choices. If you are a good pvp’r play anything, you will own.

    Cheers me amigos.

  29. G says:

    The best class for 1v1 are warlocks but they are weak against warriors.

    but as u know there is no 1v1 arena or bg so is it that important?

    and if you wanna play 2v2 arena go warr MS and resto druid you will find the teams with best rating are using that combination http://www.sk-gaming.com/arena/ check the info you will see i’m right.

  30. Alix says:

    no class is really any better then another, each have advantages an disadvantages. my 19 twink rogue pwns a 35 lock. but against the same exact warlock my twink hunter lost. its all about the gear an build.

  31. Brent says:

    Sorry played almost all classes- not being one sided – every class given the playstyle can beat any other class- but seems my Shadow Priest is the best +++dueler++++ out of 7 of my characters- and FYI- Shamans suck ass at 70…..As far as even fight- and duels starts out as me being aware that im going to get hit -Shields and all- definatly priest have advantage with duels…..they know what class is going to hit them first

    …otherwise open area pvp-not expecting which class attacks you- ima going to say my Warlock is the toughest character I rolled- would rater take him into battlegroungs than my priest

    I have all 70’s: rogue, mage, lock, druid, Shaman, priest, warrior

  32. whatever says:

    Warlock beat everyone and who say that is a druid lvl 70

    how warlock do that?
    Corruption,Fear,Curse of Agony ,Fear and going going till you die

  33. nick says:

    Affliction Lock, Druid, Rogue, Frost mage, Hunter, Shadow Priest.
    Be prepared to kick serious ass with any of em.

  34. McTowlie says:

    Each class usualy has advantages over certain other classes (Try 1v1 a paladin using a rogue and you’ll know what I mean), but ultimatly, it comes down to what you find the easiest to use. If you can master making the right moves with your class at the right time, you will usualy beat anything in your path. A pro hunter that knows how to kite, for instance, is a bloody pain in the arse to fight. Same with a rogue that knows how to manage his cooldowns and keep on your back. It all comes down to knowing the class you play inside and out. ;) When in doubt, role an overpowerdin. They more or less come strapped into a fight with 3 lives in hand.

  35. McTowlie says:

    Oh, and if you deside to role a hunter, rogue, or shadow priest, prepare to get targeted like hell. People see you in any dps intensive class, and they’ll usualy put it to you as fast as they can.

  36. Jimmayg says:

    Top is best bottom is worst

    when i played wow i was mostly hunters, rogues, druids, and a little bit of pally once.
    Hunter-as far as i’m concerned hunters are both overrated and under. their slowing spells and their pets and high damage output are extremely good however the pets usually die quick in big BG fights. the overrated is the huntard factor but we rock. Arena we own with our annoying pets and slow spells makes us easy to stay alive. World pvp rocks with ranged damage, AOE volley, multi shot and traps. Bottom line- Best all around, good at surviving anything ( big fights and rogues)
    Rogues- have stealth sap and stuff like that. they rock. as long as they attack at a good time and are smart they win 99.9% of their fights. great at guard duty and sneaking in places but not in big fights. Bottom Line- very fun to play, smart rogues are the most dangerous thing in WoW.and fun in worldpvp/city raids. ALL ABOUT SMARTNESS
    Druids- good too like a rogue and last well in fights. can heal themselves pretty well then transform bak into an animal. great in city raids. Bottom line- GREAT annoying to fight fast and diverse
    Pally- i hav limited experience on them but they are annoying as hell to fight as even a pretty good rogue can lose when they bubble and heal even after sapped. Hammer of justice is UBER annoying. – really annoying to play kind of boring to be but a good all arround
    Warrior- hard to kill but it’s all about gear because even a huntard can kill with traps and concussive shot. Bottom line- good gear= good warrior bad gear= bad warrior
    mage- high damage output cloth a

  37. Jimmayg says:

    i meant to say cloth a weakness.

    mages, priests and warlocks are fragile but good damage

  38. bloodrip says:

    I think Arcane mage have alot more advantage against Frost mage, due to their resistance and quick invisivility to hide and heal :( . but in PVP I think frost has more crowed controll and dps, plus they can solo PVE :) .

  39. Dey says:

    In level 80 I’d say Ret paladins, It is THE strongest class in pvp atm, together with Death Knights. Dont roll a DK, roll a pally and faceroll your way to arena rating 2.4k+ in lvl80! Get Season 6, tons of resilience, a holy paladin by ur side that will heal you and you’re ready to do some massive ownage in BGs and open world pvp! =D

    Level 80 Paladin: Deyman, The Sha’Tar (Eu).

  40. Jerramie says:

    DOnt listen to all that crap. If you are new to pvp and want to roll a pvp toon, make a hunter. They are easy to use , require little skill to survive in pvp. And, you can get your skills sharp and make a BAD ASS hunter cause everyone knows that a skilled hunter is insane and can do godly things! There one of the few classes that actually kill me. Every shot that comes from them, Crowd controls! Every time I fight one, I have to constantly shapeshift. ANd I end up on the short end of the stick lookign like a moron being kited by an unskilled hunter! The other 3 button class is a lock. Locks are hated and are often the first target of choice. But, they are the gods of PVP Crowd control. If my trinket is up, I can take them no probs but…if not. I am screwed. So, Make a hunter or a gaylock. they are the easiest to use and requir little or no skill to start out with. Then move on to a druid or a pali. those 2 are the gods of the pvp world as of xpac Northrend. I myself prefer to stay with the least played class. At the time I started (Just before Outlands) Druids were the least played…now theres a billion of them… One very important thing to consider is this: Every class has its enemy. I have absolutely no problems with rogues at all. I can even take them 2 on 1 but, other classes are eaten alive by them. FOr instance, I can kill a pali but its hard as hell for me to kill a hunter. yet the pali can kill the hunter easy. SO, ever class has its enemy. ANd every class has a weakness thaqt can be exploited by another class.

  41. Jerramie says:

    PS the most important thing about pvp other than healing is CC. Crowd control is number 1. Draging a plai down to 5% is painfull. Its even worse when they bubble @4%. But, If you are slick, you can cc him before he uses his Pali cheat button and burst him into the ground and then a slick- /lol “current target” Nothing pisses someoen off more than having the person beating the shit out of you, type lol or blow u a kiss. I blow kisses to rogues when they backstab me only to be auto rooted and fiery fired. Then i kill them. Thats what you get for making a rogue! It says a lot about a person to make a rogue or lock.. there very extreme classes and rogues are so situational..iots rediculas. DOnt get me wrong. After the patch they coudl be gods again but…. only a dumb rogue stuns a druid bear. Only a dumb person would steal MOTW from a druid too. If you steal my buff, I will just re-cast it with the difference being, now not only do I have my buff back but the ENTIRE raid also now has it! Dont steal MOTW from druids,… dont stun druids. ANd if you want to roll a pvp toon, dont forget about heals. healing is so important in BGs and arena. Its an awsome world. I love hiding. I have hid inside other toons! lol

    I have never had a problem in the arena with space. Rogues by far are NOT even close to being OP> Infact..there the most underpowered class in the game right now. I am bear so…they have hard time with me and never kill me but even the other classes..rogues got dinged in the head..its just not the same anymore. I have fought 3 @ a time and actualy killed 2 before the last one got me. What you realy shoudl do is play EVERY CLASS if you can. The 2 easiest to play in my opinion: A hunter or a gaylock. They are 3 button classes and…if you get skilled with a hunter..you become a god. My lvl 19 mage eats rogues period! Rogues were the shit back in the day. Before Outlands, I used to mix it up with rogues and they would kill the shit out of me. but….that was 2 years ago.

    I know a lot about hunters, they are very versatile class, suitable for various situations : marksman is god of ranged dmg, awesome criticals improved stings etc.. beeing healed and protected hunter is the best, but most kills and always at top 3 i hit with bm hunter. At lvl 69 my cat has 10k hp 52% dmg reduse, 190 dps and heals itself. I put my pet to agressive, jump into the battle, hit bestial wrath and kill command at the same time and feign death–it sweeps 3-4 players while im resting and enjoing. Enemys go crasy, they look to kill hunter and find it not(feign in trees or enveronment). Most fun its when my pet vs rogue or casters, it looks like a joke!!! Pet beeing put on agressive easylly indicates stealthed rogues, rogue goes 50% hp till i understand what happened!!>>>

    yeahh i must say hunters are pretty much the shit atm with the survival spec, i mean they have an amazing crit chance and in my realm (NATHERIZM(PVP)) there are few that have over 5k attk power and 47% or higher crit chance that is with full t7 or 3-4 peices of tier 8 of course. and yes it seems that hunters just keep on getting better and better, although everyone is plaing DK’s bcuz they like there skills and the fact tht there practically a rouge in plate armor that doesnt stealth and barley dual wields. but in my opinion, Hunters and locks are completley overpowerd. but i think that the hardest to kill 1vs1 would prolly be a prot pally bcuz of the fact tht they can bubble, heal dodge and parry like a mongoose and they have a heck of alot of stam. prot pallys go from anywere from 30-36.5k health depending on your gear of course, at least thats the most ive seen so far, and thats with 4 peices of t8 out of 5 lol but i do agree 100% that any player who knows how to play his/her class in and out front to back will ultimitly be the winner in any 1vs1 lol =D oh and yeahh ret pallys are a biootchh to kill bcuz there so high in dps but soo low in mana haha =/ most ret pallys have 6k mana max and about 22k health lol but still i think a prot pally is Dank as anything lol

    omg u guys are freaking stupid if a warirror or a ret pally gets a hold of a clothie they drop so fast i 2hit clothies in wsg.

    There is no best class in PvP.

    There is a best spec though, Resto!

    Half the people in BG’s wouldn’t be able to do half the damage they do if it wasn’t for a healer, so just think of the healer as doing all the extra damage the person they heal is doing. It adds up.
