WARHAMMER - Top PVP Classes???

[TheBigBB]

Is there even any CLASS that sucks in PVP in WoW? Maybe some specs, but not an entire class. The developers design the games to be balanced, whether it's WoW or WAR. What's considered the current best class is usually only temporary. There's a constant rebalancing due to new skills and items in MMOs coming into play all the time. If WAR is worth playing at all, you should be able to do well as any class, same as WoW.

/fixed but only from my personal experience with wow

Right now Bright Wizards, sorceress, and witch elves are the best DPS pvpers, while rune priests and shaman are the best healers. Best tank is ironbreaker by far, but black orcs and Chosen do well as tanks for destruction side. There are few 1v1's going on in RvR scenarios so it's pretty much all about tanks tanking tanks and healers healing from the back while rogue like melee dpser (witch elves and witch hunters) take down the healers.

There's sort of a Rock Paper Scissors thing going on, but it's not complete since tanks are strong enough and have enough survivability to drop Ranged DPS as well. Tanks are actually serious tanks and even tank mage damage pretty well. Cloth healers heal the most, but die in like 4 seconds to melee dps. Plate healers are like paladins in wow, done right. The rogue-like melee dps guys rip apart clothies, but any decent tank that looks their way will kill them with ease. Almost every class has some form of snare and/or root, so there's not much in the way of escape and running. The game is semi-melee dominant, but the Bright Wizard and sorceress can wreck complete havoc if left alone. Bright Wizards and sorceress also have a pretty cool mechanic in the way they build up dps. They have a meter 0-100 that fills up everytime you cast a dps spell (fills in by the 10's and 20's per cast) and the meter is set to give a bonus of crit% and crit damage as it fills up. 50% full i believe it gives 30% crit and 50% damage or something, while at 100% it gives 50% crit and 100% crit damage, which is a LOT. Now the catch is that there is also another mechanic to the meter that causes spells to backfire and hurt you as it fills up, at 100% full there's a 50% chance the spell backfires and does like 20% of the damage to you. Lots of people kill themselves all the time like this, so you can't really abuse it too much without a healbot at your side. True glass canons tbqh.

Anyways, back to playing.

Ironbreaker does very good damage, constantly top 5 in terms of damage done, just keep your grudge up...

I've found that playing as a tank in PvP is awsome so far. I still have considerable DPS despite using a one hander, and can completely wreck anyone in light armor.

The catch is crowd control. Any range player can easily take me down since they can all root me and shoot with impunity. But if I'm close or they are preoccupied, I can wreck havoc.

My recomendation is to have a healer back you up, and you can literally stride into any massive fight and be the last one standing. I've gotten into nasty battles of 10vs10 or more and just waded through, slamming my axe on any bright caster or rune priest I saw. Melee dps classes don't do signifigant damage, I can absorb most focus fire from spells, and my allies can have thier way while everyone is preoccupied.

Well I messed around with almost all the classes over the weekend and tried otu teh PVP and PVE...To me the most interesting and 'colorful' race is the green skins. Also I think the most fun and most 'rich' class in WAR. They must have had 50 devs while everyone else had 5-10 working on them. That being said I am now a pesky lev 9 Squig Herder. I will also make a Black Ork Tank some time this week. Green Skins got to love 'em!

That being said i am letting my 4.5 year ( Since release) wow accound die. AdIos wow for good.....
