Well now, I've pretty much hit the wall in terms of progress in PvE. So I want to make a pure PvP only toon.

Which class is the most OP at the moment? Been reading a lot and so far I've come up with DK and Ret paladins. Any other suggestions would be appreciated.

Depends what you find fun in pvp?But atm if you just wana run in and smash faces take Pala or DK both are good at that.
My DK can kill warlock in 5 sec hes silenced and rogues i feel sorry if dk thro ice fortitude he cant be stunned for 18 sec i smash rogue without losing 15% health the Warlock rogue OPness of TBC is gone.

But it will change ill bet Warlock will be OP again soon alot of buffs coming there way.

Dude don't roll a class cause it owns in pvp.
I am bored with my DK now hes full epics and own in pvp makes awesome tank too.

Miss the commando style pvp of my Moonkin killing people without getting noticed.
But i can see my fatowl getting wtf pawned by good dks and ret palas still not gone stop me.Saw some nasty crits on my moonkin can shoot for 6k and hes not even 80 yet.

I got same problem cant pick between my Moonkin of my Hunter wana play ranged dps tired of melee.Would like to lvl affliction warlock but the idea of DOTS taking so long to kill no big numbers and your clothie.

The question really is what you want from PvP.

a Warrior can take a crap load of melee damage and still walk away the winner. However they are very weak against casters.

a Mage I have found to be pretty insane lately in PvP. Instant Pyroblast proc and a few others = Pure Killers.

a Warlock has had it's time as a PvP machine, lately it's a bit hard to PvP with a Lock but they are allot of fun and can Kill any class if the situation is right.

an Enhancement Shaman can push out massive hits in a few seconds (Burst damage) and they now have Spirit Wolves. Also get some instant heals which makes them awesome at PvP. I killed 2 DK's both higer levels than me in one fight. I was 71 they where 72 and 73.

a Rogue is always a win in any BG.

That is pretty much what I would play. Out of them all and me playing a Lock/Rogue and Shaman in BG's and Arenas I would say roll a mage for now ;)

Another thing about OP classes is that at some point they are going to be nerfed back. Locks are a good example of this. When that happens, you are going to suffer with that class.

Personally, I think that the other players get so used to fighting against an OP class and exploiting the weaknesses. When the OP class does get the nerf, everybody is used to exploiting it to the point that the class becomes underpowered and unplayable. I think that is what happened to locks.

If that happens the warrior is pretty crap :eek: They can be kited in level 19 BG's maybe. Not so easy at level 80 ;)

No


Charge can now be done in all stances, Intercept in Fury stance + Hamstring
Unless a Warrior bought his char on e-bay, you will not kite him at level 80 ;) Or you will but only for short periods at a time. There is no way you can kite him to death. A DK can be Kited :p

I saw a Mage Kite a DK yesterday, once the DK pulls him in he blinks away and start off again. That was so funny :D

Totally agree ! Warriors and Feral Droods in bear form is insanely hard for a Hunter to kite ! DK's and Pala's on the other hand Darren = easy mode ! dont even need to be Full BM .

As for Frost Mages I can only imagine .

I had resto shamie in duel 1v1 with my DK she kited the hell out of me had to use every frost rune to do chains of ice and it was LONG figth just remember i am a frost tank in tank gear but in the end DK own if you know how.
You got Strnagalate to sillence and you have mind freeze if DK lose 1v1 with mage his a noob.I kill mages in first sillence.
This same shamie i owned she pawned the crap outof a full epic geared dps DK Raiding gear not my crap HC epics.Kited him he almsot jsut got one shot of on her cause hes pvp noob.

And you also have anti magic shell for mage burst dmg.

You can only charge in all stances if your deep Prot which is fun, but its not really viable outside of a 1v1 situation. Fury is looking to be doing very well these days, more so than Arms. One thing about a warrior i'll warn you is they are highly dependant on gear, so until you start beefing him up your gonna die pretty easily to most classes.

My main is a fury warrior with mostly naxx 10 gear and 2 pieces of naxx 25 gear. I get kited f*cked up and no I didn't buy it. Heroic fury is really the only thing to help you getting kited but it's on a 30 second cooldown. I have no problems pwning shamans, locks and sometimes hunters, but mages and paladins pwn me sometimes DK's, depending on what gear they have.

I wanna make an OP class purely for pvp.

Warriors hit for big numbers, Intercept+Hamstring then slap his bitch up. I have done it on my Warrior numerous times ok that is not level 80 but 60+.

Once you have them on Hamstring they can't kite you no more and you kill them in 4 hits. I wonder why you are struggling.

Well i can with all certainty tell you that currently Warlocks are not "that class".
I feel like a flat battery pvp-ing with my lock these days.
