Which class do you think will get the biggest pvp upgrade in MoP?

[Tollfree]

Just wondering what everyone else thinks, In my opinion, druid is getting a lot more plausible pvp abilities. So they are my pick.

[scrumhalf9]

warriors. already have the dmg, now they will get the mobility

sidenote.. i hope the changes to arcane does not make them the glass cannon they use to be..

[ganush]

Classes I think need a pvp bump are warriors, resto/balance druids, ret pallies, and warlocks. It looks to me like Blizzard is addressing the areas of weakness for all these classes tho.

[Baracuda]

How can you vote for warlocks? Going from one of the best to one of the best isn't an upgrade.
Warriors suck and they will be buffed to make warrs return, then nerfed a patch later,

Removing minimum range for hunters is by far the biggest pvp upgrade, it removes our biggest handicap. Now if only we could shoot through those dalaran sewers boxes...

ahahah yes. I can't count how many hunters I killed as a fire mage just by managing to stay within hunters' deadzones on battlegrounds. Those were good times...
I'm also liking the change in the Trap Launcher mechanism. Still not the most intuitive CC, but it is an improvement nevertheless.

Warlocks are shit by themselves and need other classes to support them like Rshams and Rogues. I dont arena on my lock but trust me they are and I hate RLS just as much as everyone else. Warriors are alright atm they just lack the mobility to stick on a target while they are getting trained and peeled. I think Warriors and Druids will be very good in the xpac given that symbosis will make Rdruids alot more viable in certain comps. My only hope is hat the new stat system works out well. I would like to see all classes scale into the later arena seasons rather than some being left behind.

Edit - I forgot about hunter dead zone being removed.

If you think warlocks are shit you play this game in pvp wrong. It's not 1vs1 game...

To OP Resto druid will be over power becasue they were bad 3 seasons of cataclysm.

[Blueobelisk]

Warlocks become monsters by far, imo.

No it isn't solely a 1v1 game, but you shoudlnt HAVE to rely on someoen else to be viable. because of how bad a nerf I got on 1v1 as a lock I didn't even bother with arena until the final season, just is pointless, by locking down a locks partner, you have pretty much won. say i lock one of theirs down, and they lock my partner down. it is almsot a guaruntee loss, because at that point it BECOMES a 1v1 match.

[Tangster]

Resto druids will still be the worst pvp healer. They are getting some good CC but it's just a bandaid for the fact that their heals take so much ramp up time.

IMO its a tossup between hunters and warlocks. Hunters are getting the deadzone removed (read: mage killer) and warlocks are getting the most overhaul of any class.
I just hope my poor lil feral will still be viable

Warlocks are getting a downgrade if anything, they have to choose between Mortal Coil (replaces old Death Coil with a better heal), Shadowfury, the AoE stun, or Howl of Terror, the AoE fear. Destruction Warlocks could have all 3 of those abilities at once previously. Warlocks will also have to choose between Sacrificial Pact, Sacrifice, and Dark Bargain (new) when they used to have both Sacrifice, and Sacrificial Pact previously. The next tier after that, all the abilities cost health to use, an instant fear that replaces fear, but costs 10% of your health to cast, a 50% run speed increase that lasts until canceled, but drains 5% health per second, and a pvp trinket that costs 25% health to use.

Some things I do like however such as Demonic Gateway, which is exactly the same as a vanishing cabinet from Harry Potter. 5 charges. Anther thing I like would be the fusing Curse of Weakness, and Curse of Tongues into one curse, and reducing the physical damage reduction portion of it by 20%, this might actually let Warlocks survive Rogues now.


I think the class that will get the biggest upgrade will be Death Knights, just by looking at their talent tree. Gorefiends Grasp looks very nice, makes it near impossible for ranged classes to escape, it's like an AoE Deathgrip. Another thing is Icy Grip, which is Chains of Ice, and Deathgrip fused together, and also reduces the cd of Deathgrip by 15 seconds. Death's Advance would also make them hard to slow down since they couldn't go below 75% movement speed. Remorseless Winter also adds another cc when its duration reaches the maximum, a 6 second stun. Asphyxiate replaces Strangulate if chosen, and acts as a 5 second stun. I just really see positive things for DK's looking at their tree.

I mean just look....

Also just read above about Hunter having minimum range removed, ya that's going to be extremely good. Hunters are extremely easy to lock down at the moment, because you just run in on them, use a slow effect, and they're probably screwed unless disengage is off cd.

[Defang]

I voted druids, simply because many of their talents are very pvp oriented. Plus you have Symbiosis to fill in whatever spell you might need. I kind of feel sorry for all those mages I'm going to put symbiosis on in BGs just to get Ice Block as they only get Healing Touch out of it.

I would say the retri spec but speaking of the poll; I'm surprised by the results. I personally think that warlocks are already walking the line of being to good, seeing their potential in MoP scares me due to this.

[Deleted]

Hunter is my mine, so I hope, it will come hunter.

[Volitar]

Hunters, Non Feral Druids, and Warriors.

[Deleted]

Hunters for sure and warlocks!

[Volitar]

Upgrade meaning going from bad or mediocre to good. Not from good to good.

[Snuggli]

Looking at current changes, Druids get a lot as do Warriors, in terms of damage / mobility / new cooldowns etc.

Priests get a lot of new interesting stuff.

For Mages, Paladins, Rogues, Death Knights and Shamans all of their current spells are just being put into talents as choices.

The biggest changes have got to be either Warlock or Hunter, and I voted for Hunters. Removal of min-range is huge.

[Marmot]

My vote is going to hunter for sure. Removal of dead zone being the primary pvp boost, followed by readiness for all specs which results in huge burst potential as beast mastery with lynx rush as well. Binding shot bringing more CC to the class (a proper stun), exhilaration bringing a nice heal to us at long last. Not to mention the level 90 talents with the knockback and stuff. Everything else is just icing on the cake at this point.
