Most resilient Class

[Yoshimiko]

Let's start with: I really really enjoy BGs, and really despise dying. I'm looking to play a class with some good survivability. I have every class to 85 - but to be frank, I simply don't have the time to play that I used to, so I'm trying to limit myself to just 1 or 2 characters. All around, I really enjoy games with 0 deaths, but I've found some classes just..can't deliver on that very often - even in good gear. {Even the best ele sham or Spriest can be dropped by your average rogue.}. Only classes I truly don't enjoy in pvp though are DK, Hunter, and Priest. Priest for it's squishiness, Hunter for its..well it's annoying to play, and DK because I HATE the rune system.

So, To those of you who BG a lot - What class do you find that is exceptionally resilient? I don't mind playing Prot classes, but I would like to stay away from healers.

at first thought this was a new class thread.
On topic, i find my protection paladin or blood death knight live alot, actually killing something is a different story

Haha, Renamed topic to clear some confusion.

This thread is relevant to my interests. (I am not sarcastic, it really is. I am in the same dilemma myself)

Feral druid atm definitely, massive damage, heals, good cc, good burst, and any pressure they can pop bear and go defensive just like that.

If i was to choose off the list, there is no doubt blood dk would be first, but i guess thats because i play meele in pvp, they are apparently easy for casters but daaaam theres nothing meele can do.

Voting Feral Druid, idk why people would say Frost Mage... has anyone voting Frost Mage been above 2.1/2.2k? Melee sit on them w/ dispels and /lol.

[Balduvian]

Are people seriously voting for Frost Mage?

I mean, no one is denying they're OP. No one is denying they're annoying and can keep melee from moving for a long time, but really...it's the class that goes down fastest when focused by several people = not resilient.

As much as I agree on the Mage part, voting Feral Druid is kinda ridiculous as well as long as Prot Warrior is in the listed options.

While i agree, i voted for feral druid because *I* dont consider prot as a proper pvp spec, just like prot for palas and blood for dks. Actually have no idea where prot stands in pvp right now, but i will stick to my orginal opinion regardless.

[Gohzerlock]

Frost mages are NOT more resilient than ferals or warriors in general, geez i'm surprised disc priests aren't up there. WHO THE HELL IS VOTING BOOMKIN DO YOU REALLY PVP?????

Agreed. Prot =/= pvp spec imo.

Feral Druid

They go Bear form, bash, pop enraged regen, run to a corner and los, start casting heals, when you get close, thorns and cyclone. he goes cat, and resthealth.

Thats why im leveling one !

Ignoring damage capabilities, I'm gonna vote prot. Although not the best warrior pvp spec, I would definitely say prot warriors can make pretty a deadly/annoying enemy.

[Yoshimiko]

Agreed. Prot =/= pvp spec imo.

In BGs and RBGs, A good prot makes or breaks teams usually. Prot, Rogue, or warlocks are the normal Flag Carriers { locks for demonic circle, rogues for their slipperyness}.

I did specify BGs in the thread. I'm just not sure how resilient they are in the field without a few healers on them.

All specs will go down when getting tunnelled in a BG. Unless ur a blood dk with a pocket healer. Most of the players will keep focusing on you, thinking that your healthbar always jumping up is down to bloods crazy self healing.

People seem to be confusing their control and ability to avoid Melee with the ability to mitigate damage they are actually taking. Frost doesn't take a lot of damage because it can keep away from people and stop them from getting to you, not because the spec itself has the best damage reduction abilities for when you ARE being hit.

Ah disregard my comments then, poor reading skills ftw.

It's the best RBG tank, by a longshot. Really, there's Prot Warriors, followed by Blood DK's and then a huge gap of nothing, followed by Feral Druid and Prot Pala.

Agreed. Prot =/= pvp spec imo.

Have a taste of high-rated RBG. Nothing can kill a good Prot Warrior, while a good Feral Druid, even with a tankspec will still die against a few casters.

EDIT: The way people vote shows that either they aren't doing RBG on any decent level, or they just want Feral Druids nerfed in every way possible.

[TofuBeast]

why are boomkin and ele shaman even on this list lol

[Gio]

Lolcats i mean Feral druids
