PvP Server - which classes for world PvP ?

[Flight]

Thinking of trying a PvP server for the first time. My last 5 box was Pallie / Shammy / 3 x Warlocks.


Any recommendations for a decent class setup for non instanced PvP; thinking maybe 4 x Shammy or Mage with 1 x Druid, something like that ??

Define = "World PvP"

1. You're planning on entering the WotLK PvP-only zone and melting faces
2. You're trying to survive massive gank fests around the World(of Warcraft)
3. You're going to be the gank machine, corpse camping people until they spirit rez?

:)

All of the above :)

Once geared properly, Boomkins can cover #2 & 3 ;p Or at least I do >D And once you're 68+ if someone camps you you can insta-shift to flight form and gtfo of dodge, nice perk vs cast-time flying mounts; you also have the option of cat stealth(or shadowmeld if NE and not a damned cow; Shadowmeld works while drinking/eating and works while in Boomkin form, since it's considered Humanoid)

Shaman are also a good choice, as they're OP. While druids have to expend a big chunk of mana to get armor, and give up the ability to heal in the process, Shamen have no such drawbacks and have more, better insta-cast spells, shocks and ele mastery and the like ;p Not to mention self-res and a second hearth, and they get their travel form sooner, + can use shields and have absolutely no competition on gear lol

With 4x Shammies, dropping 4x Fire Elementals ( @ 68 ) is also one hell of an "oh shit" anti-gank button.

I had someone ask me last night how I can do heroics without CC.

Instead of explaining the massive dps my likkle shammies put out, I just laid 4 earth elementals. In the middle of shattrath.

I had a druid try this on me after he tried ganking me (and failed). 4x lightning bolts (with overload procs) said "I DON'T THINK SO!" as he tried to run. :lol

Well against a mutiboxer obviously it's not gonna go so well ;p But if the multiboxer is the druid(s), he can get away from most classes, especially near Halaa where you can res as you hop over a cliff then hit flightform partway down, safely out of re-gank range(Which I did many times lol)

you are my hero



@OP, Id say druids, shamans, mages or warlocks. for the 2 later id put in a healer, like a priest for their aoe healing or something like that.

[Suvega]

Honestly jsut roll 5 shaman.

Why?

Mail, 2 sec spamable casts, Chain lightning, Shocks, chain heals (you ARE on top of each other)
Tremor totems....

So you're a ranged, massive healing, quick casting, 3 mob aoe'ing, group buffing powerhouse.

GG.

If you feel a little spicey, add a pally. BoPs on a melee's target makes them wnat to cry when they get in execute range ;)

World PvP, what's that?

Believe it or not, I've never played Horde. Which race for Shammies on a PvP server ? Tauren for racial stun ?

[Kyudo]

I'm afraid that question has been asked a million times already, l2search pls.

Diminishing returns, and their size on screen appear to make Tauren the less popular choice.

Thanks for the response :)

The major problem with Tauren shamans is the they are already huge and scream, "I'm right here, click me" plus when you drop your giant neon sign of totems.... you are target numero uno.

...but at least you picked up warstomp.

I have all orcs, mainly because my pre-existing L70 Shaman was an orc. However, I agree with the "Taurens make you a huge target" theory. The only benefit to having a shaman might be that your lead Shammy could be Tauren and you could easily hide several orcs behind him...

so instead that screams "KILL MY MAIN!" which is even worse.
