WARHAMMER - Top PVP Classes???

[NoobShammy]

So i play a shaman in WOW and lets make no mistake how bad they are in pvp esepecially in high rated teams. Anyway with that being said in WAR which are the good PVP classes?

WOW
rogue
warrior
Druid

THose are teh 3 top classes in wow PVP how about WAR?

Hard to say since only some people have played at rank 40 and that was before some of the recent changes (eg SM nerf).

If you are talking about as of now (T1/T2)... Tanks and Healers are the most powerful.

Your saying shamans sux in high rated teams?

1) dont derail the topic
2) how about teh 566 teams above the highest ranked team on that list let me guess no shaman huh?


Dont get me shaman is a good class just not the best option for pvp.

That being said back to the topc at hand.

The top 9 us 5v5 teams all have a shaman according to that site. Many top EU teams have one(some even have 2), and they aren't exactly nonexistent among top CN teams. They are good in group pvp but suck in small scale battles which is partly why you rarely see them in 3s and almost never in 2s.

I'm guessing you only look at 2s listings since the 3 you listed as best really aren't. While druids dominate 2s they are laughable at everything else sans flag running.

And you derailed your own thread in the original post.

Edit: Looking around that site a bit more and theres a lot more druids and shamans in 3s than I expected. I was expecting a lot of priest with two of rogue/mage/warlock.

anyone else with any USEFUL info on Warhammer not WOW classes?

NoobShammy,

You would probably have better luck going to the warhammer forums (http://www.warhammeralliance.com/forums/) and posting your question there. From the looks of things around here, most haven't gotten into Warhammer (or just arent interested in it) yet and therefore won't be able to answer your question correctly.

I play Destruction. I constantly outscore shaman on my DoK in scenarios. My DoK is more WoW shaman like than shaman are in WAR. DoK is a front line short range healer that dual wields and has near unlimited healing potential with it's combo AOE damage spell that converts damage to healing for people on your side. Then again a single stupid shadow warrior can beat me since I have no ranged snares as of yet.

From my limited experience thus far:

The RvR in Warhammer is very much a team effort. Since you can not run through your opponents (yes there is collision in Warhammer so you can pin people against walls, large rocks or other team-mates), melee's will try to box in a specific target to keep them from running and pummel him to crap. Healers (Zealots like me) tend to do the least damage but are the only ones with heals so I try to keep an eye on everyones health and keep the tanks in the mosh-pit alive. I occasionally throw dots on opponents but there is little point. Combat is far more tactical and long-lived then in WoW.

In order to win there needs to be a balance of classes, there is no one class owns them all.

So what do you want to be? Tank? Melee DPS? Ranged DPS or Healer?

[Sanctume]

It's too early to tell, and each class has their role.

There is no star class that will outshine everyone.

It's a team game, and the balanced team vs balanced team, whoever has the skills win.

You need tanking, healing, dps, cc, positioning, disrupts, and focus fires.
