Most OP class as of 5.4.8

[4umtroll]

3v3 is the only proper bracket in the game, random and rated bgs are beyond a joke

Pretty much ignore the rest of the pvp game and just play 3v3, that's laughable.

[Uoyredrum]

2s: Monks (any), Boomkin, Unholy DKs

3s: Hunters, Frost Mages, Arms Warriors

5s: Hunters, Frost Mages

1v1: Monks

RBGs: Hunters, Frost Mages

World PvP: Monks

tl;dr: Small scale pvp = monks & hybrids, 3 or more = hunters & mages

Any? Surely you just mean MW and WW ?

[Debased]

Hunters are fundamentally OP. Incredible damage, CC, and a low skill cap. Have fun kid. Why is everyone saying monk... don't know how to kite too good now dawg?

pretty much yes. Or is there any fun that I am missing in random bgs filled with bots and imbecils? All the good players are in 3v3 or quited the game anyways.

You ever stop to think that part of the reason why the good ones quit might be partly because they were forced into arena to begin with? Not everyone enjoyed it. They sacrificed PvP to shore up the arena numbers back in WotLK, they killed all other PvP in the process.

Honestly, if 3v3 is the only PvP left, then PvP in WoW is for intent and purpose dead and not worth mentioning anymore.

Keeping the discussion going

I don't play at high ratings but I feel like warriors just destroy if no one stops them

Worst class pvp = Pala imho.
Best class pvp = Rsham / afflock / warr.

Best combo = afflock / ele / rdrood.

Personally id feel that most classes are viable endgame material, but fact'o'matter is some classes is just easier to dominate with
All varies with seasons...

But looking at the big picture some classes have almost allways been good in pvp. (Mostly rogue/mage).

In all fairness, random BG is a joke, its 70% bots on either side of the team = Fix make honor optainable pvp gear much cheaper or just make it free.

Rated BG can be fun, but would really depend on the players... So far all i ever meet is moaning/whiny/bad/arrogant/stupid in RBG.
Even had a group that won 4 in a row quickly, lost the nr. 5 pretty bad, all hell broke loose and people left / flamed / moaned.
With that being said, with a chill group RBG can be great!

World pvp is a joke aswell, retarded dmg/ healing / hp - PVE gear = the best.

So that leaves arenas, which for me is the last fun pvp activity in the current wow.

[Itisamuh]

Any healer, followed by hunter and warrior, followed by everything else, followed by whatever your main is so you can claim to be underpowered.

[Cyclonus-WOW]

So much warrior love in this thread. Warms my heart.

Don't worry, the patch will land and then the other classes will get out of hand.

[Unholyground]

The WoD changes makes my DK smile with gleeeeeeee.

Low skill cap rofl, clearly delusional since Hunters have one of the highest skill caps. Did you get facerolled by one and felt you had to come and complain on here?

why don't you two guys bring arguments? this "no no your class is OP" is getting old.

He probably meant low skill floor, which most people do when they talk about things being OP. They also confuse the terms alot. A bad or average player can player a hunter badly or averagely and get really far compared to other classes. Always fun when I see people who have never broken 1500 suddenly sitting around 1800 because he made a hunter for the first time.

Except I didn't say his class is op and did bring an argument by saying "Hunters have one of the highest skill caps", that's the opposite of what he said.

I'll agree with that, but it was a lot worse previously in the expac as BM, that was literally faceroll. At least now there is *some* thought involved.

Warriors.

3 gapclosers
5 (or was it 6?) offensive cool downs, that all stack
5 ccs, their fear doesn't break on damage.
4 (or was is it 5?) defensive cooldowns, that all stack
Second Wind
unpeelable burst
on top of all of that they still have utility (intervene healer to eat traps etc, lolreflect)

nothing comes close to the sheer opness of this class

fortuantely 80% of warriors are retards who rolled their class to be cheap (and are), but even they are annoying

each time a warrior charge stuns me I could throw up 'hurr durr retard inc'

[Cempa]

What was the combo that won Blizz world wide arena championship?

[quitefrankly]

Second Wind

Second wind used to be good, nowadays its irrelevant when you are bing attacked. a 6-9k hps does not help very much.
Why is their burst unpeelable? This is not begining of MoP with Avatar.
Stormbolt, Shockwave, Fear, ?, ?

Not denying warriors are one of the best classes in game atm, but these facts are flawed.

you dont have to ignore the rest... but you do have to acknowledge that they won't be balanced on a class level.

I have never seen 3v3 balanced either.

1v1 should be the one they strive to balance around the most as that is (or at least was when I actively played) they most common PvP in this game. In 2v2,3v3, or even 5v5, they will never be balanced as the classes synergize in different ways.

The closest blizzard has ever had to actually having representation they could actually call balanced that I have seen (unless I missed it) is when the classes were at their worst and burst was king by far and all that really mattered. And at that point, they weren't even really balanced, it was just hid behind obscene burst that nullified a lot of it. Kinda like putting a 30 year war general against a grandmother with dementia except giving them both access to nukes, even though the general is the best, the nukes still make sure they may easily lose.
