I suck at PvP but still enjoy it. What class would fit me best?

Publication par warlock454

I am horrible at PvP. I can't process what is happening fast enough to react in most cases. I simply can't think fast enough to counter what the opponent is doing. This makes me worthless in an arena capacity, but I still enjoy battlegrounds because I get the occasional rescue.

I enjoyed warlock for a time in vanilla. This is mostly because, even though I died repeatedly, I could often take enemies with me with some DoTs. I was still nauseatingly bad, though. In Burning Crusade I toyed with druid a little bit, but I couldn't even settle on a spec, much less learn to play.

In WotLK, I played a DK to 80, and PvP'd for a bit. Sure, my survivability was better. Not just because I was fortunate enough to be wearing plate, but also because fewer people attacked me straight up - much fewer than when I was a warlock. To be honest, I just didn't like playing a DK - in PvP or PvE.

I am now working on a rogue, level 62. Choosing rogue might have been my first mistake. Sure, I can quickly pick apart some already wounded priest or mage or warlock, but in terms of straight up fighting, this is probably the worst class I've picked so far. They require much more skill, preparation, and quick key pressing than I imagined. I am probably never going to get it.

I don't want to give up PvP, but I don't have aspirations of being the best PvPer ever, either.

Are there any classes that a perpetually bad but partially dedicated PvPer might enjoy? Or are they all pretty much the same. I guess I am not much for twitch button mashing.

This is how I help my friends. Answer the following questions and see what suits you.

Do you prefer melee or caster or Hunter(they dont really fall into the either catergory IMO)

If melee than you need to choose from healing melee or non- heals.

non heals are Warrior, DK, and Rogue. Heals IMO are the Shammy (Enhance), Pallies, and Druids.

Casters are of course mages, locks, boomkin, shammies, priests.

Or be a Hunter

If you choose Melee/healer than Pally, Druid, or Enhance Shammy. Non-healer: Warrior, DK, Rogue

If you choose Caster, you need to make another choice: Heals or no heals.

Same rules apply to this: Heals=Shammy, Priest, or Druid Non-heals=Mage and Lock

If you dont think any of these will apply to you than you may concider a Hunter.

This may not make sence. but it helps

I dont think I answered your question

Bias opinion: hunter. the pets and CC are great. Keeps you at a safe distance, and the only time you need to act fast is if you get jumped by a rogue od druid.

Unbias opinion: Rogues are always fun and so are mages. Dots Dots and more Dots. Spriests and Locks are the best

Paladin. Hunter if you want to be rdps, but you're squishier and need to kite.

To begin, I suck at pvp. I do it for fun and nothing more. If I die, oh well, rebuff and go back in. These are just my suggestions, for someone just looking to have a bit of fun, with no expectations of top-tier pvp/arena.

Firemage! Just pop mirror image, manashield, tab and living bomb everything in range, ice block, die, and get ready for the fireworks. Not really effective, but a lot of lol's none the less. Usually end up in the top 2-3 of EoTS/AV on kills and damage, even with quite a few deaths.

My actual pvp spec is Frost. With Ice Barrier, improved counterspell, mana shield, 4 images, and my elemental, I cause some decent headaches for the other team before I drop.

I also have a holy pally. Most bg's are grateful for any healers and keep the enemy off me rather well. The plate and concentration aura make you a bit harder to counter. Keep beacon on yourself and spam heals. If the stuff hits the fan you can bubble and retreat/regroup. Just be aware that if a mage is near when you pop wings, someone's about to get hurt. The only real issue my pally has is if silenced, but there's plenty of ways to reduce the duration of that.

This is what hes talkin about Living Bomb farming

Rets are great for BGs and low-level arena. The spec doesn't go well to high-end brackets (Holy is great for that apparently) though.

Where'd you get that idea, that Ret isn't great at higher ratings? I see many Ret Pallies with Gladiator title, and I can provide links if you really need proof.

I can't process what is happening fast enough to react in most cases. I simply can't think fast enough to counter what the opponent is doing.

If you don't have twitch speed, then you should probably steer clear of Mage and Rogue, definitely. And if you don't like changing your gameplan, then you should steer clear of Druids (changing forms, cyclone, charge, stun, moonfire, hots, can be a lot to micromanage). And pretty much all 4 healing classes need to learn to react in different ways, depending upon opponent, and also need quick reflexes too. Not to mention you liked DK better when you WEREN'T targeted first, and most healers are top of the threat list in BG's....

I say the perfect spec/class for the original poster would have to be Arms Warrior:
1) Don't need amazingly quick reflexes to do well.
2) Very durable, makes up for mistakes.
3) Gameplan doesn't change much, depending on opponent. At least 90% of fights will be Charge, Hamstring, Rend, Mortal Strike, with only variation depending upon when you want to Bladestorm.
4) You won't be targeted that much, similar to how you played your DK, and most people will go for healers around you first.

In my opinion, your perfect answer would be Arms Warrior, based upon the things you described about yourself, and what you like/dislike about PvP.
