    My little brother is looking to get into pvp, would like some class/spec suggestions

    I had to repost this here, because apparently I'm not allowed to ask for class suggestions over in the pvp section :/ I didn't know.

    Hello all in pvp land. This is my first post on the pvp forums, as I never pvp'd often but have been enjoying myself recently. My younger brother who is 13, has been watching myself and my other younger brother playing pvp and would like to join us. He has played wow, but never at max level, and always casual. We still plan to play casual together, mainly BGs, but he wanted me to suggest a class for him to learn to play. When I asked him what he was interested in for pvp he said Hunter, or feral druid, but he doesn't care what he plays, but he prefers a dps spec, over something like holy paly.

    So I have come to you all for some suggestions, for maybe the easiest, or at least most forgiving class to learn when coming into pvp for the first time. Any and all classes can be suggested. Just as long as you guys give me some reasons why it's easier to learn.

    I understand no class is roflstomp easy, or best around, but he is new to learning things in wow, and I'd like to suggest him something he can grasp pretty easily, as well as when he gets to max level.

    Please note though, I play mage and my other brother plays shadow priest, so he would like to play a different class then us.

    PS: Just a little background on him, he plays other games like TF2 and League of Legends, so he does play other games that require some decision making. Obviously not on the wow scale, but some nonetheless.

    Any and all feedback is really appreciated guys.

    For raw damage, warrior tends to work quite well. The rage mechanic is easy to learn and it's one of the more mobile classes in the game with a decent amount of CC.

    They're all pretty easy to learn, in my book. He'll know what to do on any class long before he hits max level. But if for some reason you're looking for the absolute easiest, I'd agree that it's probably warrior. Rage is the easiest resource system to deal with, and plate melee all have pretty simple run and gun (sword) playstyles. The only thing to be wary of with warriors is their patch cycle balance. They don't ever seem to be in the middle; they're either really good, or really weak. Right now they're really good, but that won't last forever. If he doesn't want to be melee, then tell him to be a warlock so you can round out the triple cloth users. Warlocks aren't anywhere near the simplest, but as I said, he'll easily learn any class long before max level.

    Have him learn a ranged class.

    For PvP it's disgusting how ranged can exploit pvp mechanics, especially in rated PvP. Of course he could be like me and loves melee, and will forever be doomed.

    We don't allow class suggestion threads because it is entirely subjective to who your brother is, which we don't know - he needs to do his own research to find out what appeals to him - and because if we allow them we get flooded with them.
