Most feared/ well recognized pvp class in this patch?

[runnbl3]

m about to make a new toon/main...

What class do you think ( be biased af or not ) beats the rest? dmg dealing, outplaying, high rewards.

Melee and ranged, also how rng based is fire mage at capped ilvl? ( max gears )

do u mean Rated-Arena, Rated-BGs, duels, Casual PvP, Wpvp?

[Dejiko]

Fire mage receives set bonuses in their pvp set which helps them quite abit, increased crit alongside reduced cast time on certain spells.

Ret paladins do a surprising amount of damage and has tools to help the group as a whole to succeed but they lack defensively.

Enhancement shamans have alot of upfront damage and dispells.

Destro warlocks can pump out obscene numbers if left alone to cast.
So on.

If you respect each specs weakness and strength you can do good things with most anything.

[Snegovik]

Rets only have good burst, their sustain, survival, mobility, anti-cc defenses are crap. Their tools, well why bring Ret when u can have Hpal and bring a real Rated-PvP orientated dps class.

Resto druid, the best comps right now are Turbo (enh shaman/arms war/resto druid) and RMD (rogue in all specs/frost mage/resto druid). Its the class with the best, and most disverse comp set. Also best comp in 2s is survival hunter/resto druid.


For dps, depends a lot on what you want to do. Warriors for example are good in 2s and 3s and bgs, but if they are ever without a healer they suck. Ferals and dks are not as "good" as such but are a lot better if left on their own, duels and double dps 2s and similar. Enhance, ww monks and rogues basicely do well everywhere even if their comps are fairly limited (and rogue is hard to play of sorts, a bad rogue is really bad while a bad war still does damage).



Almost everything is viable right now, some classes are easier, others harder (only class that is a little bit worse then everyone else are hunters, bar 2s with a healer).

For outplay potential you need to play a caster, if not, you'd need to play a rogue. Beside rogues, there's not really much outplay potential for a melee.

Depends what you're playing to be the "most feared".

As an example, feral druids are considered OP by bg spammers and low mmr players (the bane of the 1700 bracket) but not really complained about by higher MMR players, so it really depends on what you want to do.

Mage would probably be your best option, as they're viable in a T1 comp this season, have plenty of outplay potential and they're also highly rewarding. Fire on the other hand, isn't as viable in 3s (it'd be hard to find a comp, depending on exp) but it's a lot better for duels and casual PvP I find.

Druid of any spec.

[Ermelloth]

For DPS specs - Enhancement Shaman is probably the most OP class / spec combo atm.

Both very strong in 1vs1, RBGs and high-end Arenas (R1 viable, part of Turbo FOTM comp). Viable everywhere, in nearly any PvP bracket.

Some people would say Arms Warrior or Affli Lock, but those two specs at least have certain weaknesses: for Affli it's 2vs2 bracket, for Arms it's a great healer dependency (classic Warrior's drawback) and for both - 1vs1 performance.

For Healers - Restoration Druid is the most powerful healer right now. Viable in every PvP bracket, best healer in 2vs2, 3vs3 and nearly always present in RBG teams.

Moonkin is a LOT of fun right now and has a big toolset to survive melee.

200k starfires in your face!

lol were they arms? Since prot/fury have good heals (but maybe a resto drood can even kill them too, who knows).
But yes atm Droods is one of the best PvP classes in the game, both dps specs are viable (feral for beginner jungle clv: healer tunneling to 2.4k easy) and as you get better you can try Resto or Boomy, both if plaid at master level are R1/Blizzcon Viable, for boomy Frozen Chicken is insane comp (Frost mage, Boomy, Hpal? ).
If you are new to Arena, i would suggest playing Enh or DK, both OP and easy to get ur head around at start. for Enh: turbo, for DK: walking dead. Both comps insanely OP and pretty fun/easy to play up to high rating.
