Here's my no bull**** guide to choosing a class for PvP in Classic WoW. This information is based on modern meta and the way the game is played in 2019. Good races and 1 optimal spec are shown on the screen for each class. The most debatable race choices are: Nelf vs Dwarf Hunter, Orc vs Undead Rogue, and Orc vs Undead Warlock. I believe Orc is superior in most situations but I showed Undead because its more visually aesthetic (and definitely viable). Also please note that many classes have multiple viable specs, I just show what I feel are the best options for all-around PvP.

    @@J0J0McM0M0 Class design in MMORPG is not supposed to round up all classes, it would make sense that some classes hard counters others and each class has a strong identity and can shine in certain scenarios. In WOW today we don't exactly have that, all classes have self heals some sort of hard cc, ranged interrupts and so on which was done so that activision has an easier time with balancing classes. To be honest this is horrible class design, why would I pick DK over warrior or over ret pally? Sure they have some little identity left in their bigger cooldowns but overall they are the same class using the same gear. Also gear is less relevant in today pvp which takes the RPG out of MMO imho, if you do not have a reason to be equally as strong as someone else you SHOULD not, don't get me wrong I'm a casual player but I think this game is not too casual friendly. I used to walk around major cities and see these powerhouses in full raid gear with legendaries and I knew there was a huge gap between us and I respected that, I knew I would never achieve that because I did not work hard enough but I was slowly closing the gap with every month played. Today nothing is impressive anymore, the cities are still filled with people but they don't matter, it's a single player game mostly nowadays, sure you still group with people but you don't talk with them because you know you will never see them again. I remember doing BGs and recognising players on opposite factions, top players that always had most damage or KDA and the whole group would work together to prioritise them over the rest of the sheep. Today's wow is boring compared to old wow, it's a socially dead game, it's a good game with tons to do and explore but it's just about as good as any other single player rpg there.

    The battlefield have changed dramatically since vanilla - back then healers were very rare, until players saw the potential and impact of their contribution. Today healers have become normalized, to the point every dps expects you to heal them. But back then you were praised and glorified. players whispered "thx for the heals m8" constantly, put on friends lists and was constantly scouted to join premades, even for PvE. Everyone should try dps, but once you give healing a try, and instantly notice how the win ratio increases - as a dps, your contribution is almost insignificant, you play for yourself, as healer you play for the team!

    Silversurfer there was a historical reason for that in vanilla. In early vanilla you only got honor and honor kills if you did damage to the target, which meant that if you were healing you were not rewarded i PvP. This was eventually changed, but the effect of that design flaw lasted for a long time.

    @rhodes1986 Correction, rogues are quite easy (unless extreme gear). As are druids, you can just chain frost trap them to death. I'm not talking about dueling randoms. I'm talking about dueling skilled players, with their sights on rank 14. Staying out of range is not feasible in a duel setting, for obvious reasons. Deterrence is 11 points deep survival. Which is a great talent, if you're struggling with melee when it matters. But i'm not struggling with melees where it matters. Melees are not an issue in battlegrounds, in un'goro or at world bosses. Freeze trap is ill advised versus skilled rogues and warriors. They will almost certainly deflect it back at you. Most classes will in fact. Snaring without trap is a game of rng. Concussion shot, traps and wing clip can snare with talents, but only has a % chance to do so. And unlike later expansions, where kiting players with concussive shot is feasible for a time. In classic, it lasts for 4 seconds and has a 12 second cool down. Which is fine in open world if cast at 40 yards. But you can't run that afar away in a duel.

I’d be near worthless in endgame or Raid; not my role. I play on PvP because it adds a live element that makes the game fun, spontaneous, unexpected. When I meet a truly great opponent, one that can even slay me at five or ten levels below my character, I enjoy the majesty. Some of you are brilliant.

As for Alliance Hunter, Dwarf is clearly better against Rogues and arguably better against Warriors, but after consulting with some experienced Hunters I trust, they felt Nelf was the best all-around option due to the overall synergy Shadowmeld has with the Hunter class. Also please note that many classes have multiple viable specs as well as specs designed specifically for premading or dueling. I just showed what I feel are the best specs for *all-around PvP.* A point here and a point there can always be swapped based on your gear & personal playstyle.

    The stigma for meme specs will never go away, since they're mostly observed or reported on by people who have never played them extensively. There are also those who think meme specs are better than they really are due to overgearing on fun servers or broken private server mechanics. Enhance is a really good spec to learn your totems, not because you're autoattacking for most of your damage, but because your totems are what keep you on your target. Grounding/tremor are the two that instantly come to mind. When you're ranged and can use thicc lightning and frost shocks to keep a distance, you're only ever using totems when they're needed. A perfect example would be tremor totem. If a priest is running at you as ele, you know exactly what's going to happen. If you run up on a priest as enh you have to make sure your tremor is down at all times. I don't have many hours put into shaman compared to other classes, but this is just my observation from playing on Retro and LH for the past few years. As for ret paladin. There's a lot of different ways you can go about DPS paladin specs, some of which literally require 0 ret talents. When you play "ret" you tend to still play like a paladin, abuse LoS, spam cleanse/heals between swing timers, abuse mana efficiency, abuse rogues, etc. A good 50% of your damage as a memeadin is assisting other players where they fall short and adding what ever damage build you're using on top of that ( Reckoning/ShockCommand/ProccWhore ). Examples would be like freedoming a warrior, spamming cleanse on yourself, and tag teaming a mage. This is definitely the simplest trick in the book, but it's just an example. Though what Ohhgee said about experienced players abusing your shortcomings is ENTIRELY TRUE. At times you will wait a whole fight hoping that someone uses something wrong, i.e. blink, and be able to switch it around and use it to your advantage. Without reckoning, consumes, or full gadgets (engi, imp doom, etc) you will not survive most 1v1s against experienced players UNLESS you know their spec/class better than they know paladin. The only way you can really be the most effective ret/enh on your server is to know all the other classes better than everyone else, or at least at the same knowledge cap as everyone else. If you know how to play your opponent's class, better or not, you'll know when and where you need to use something. TLDR: if you play retri like you play a warrior you will think its a lot worst than it really is. sacrifice also isn't a cooldown, you big mage noob.

    I still have fond memories of acquiring Lieutenant General whilst joining premades with a friend who (finally) achieved High Warlord after countless weeks and months of no-sleep and constant battlegrounds - yes, even the AV's and WSG's that went on for days on end. He did so as a 2H Enhance Shaman, which basically involved windfury procs blowing everything up so long as you gave him the opportunity to do so (which I did as a Rogue, CC'ing prime targets or preventing kiting so he could get in there and wreck faces). Good times. I can't see myself reliving yester-year again, but if I did I'd definitely go either Priest or Shaman due to being able to flit between DPS or Healing, rather than a class like Rogue (my original main) which can only ever do one role, even if they were great for PvP'ing.

    Hunters were by far the best class for PVP. I was endgame tier 3/field marshal mixed gear. Had Larvae of the great worm from Ouro as a Dwarf this made sense for the 1% crit. Also had Ashjre'thul as well if i got bored. I had 6K HP and was almost a tank in PVP. Rogues blowing all cooldowns or Warriors with extreme gear were the only problems 1v1. In a world PVP or battleground environment I demolished everything. Even one shotting some badly geared clothies. PVE DPS was good up until BWL but hunters sustained DPS doesn't scale as well as mages and rogues. By Naxx you were struggling to keep up with most classes.

    Honestly enchant shaman is one of thoose "meme lord" class. They are like warriors but much worse as they lack both the tankiness and the defensive cooldowns AND the gapclose to reach their enemies. When they do, they don't have a reliable resource to use they just wait for RNG to do the job. Pretty weak imo.

    First I want to say this video is very on point, with very key data. If you are not sure what to roll for PvP, for general PvP, go with Hunter; easier to play, Number one rule, keep your max distance. This is how you can fairly easily beat melee classes, MAX is the secret, use your CC to create distance, as you won't be able to attack while moving, so wait until you are at max distance before attacking. Melee has to constantly try to reach you. If you don't constantly max distance they will reach you and melee can do massive damage. You should keep, at least 30 yards away from casters to avoid their CC. You can later play other classes, as you see fit, For example those that give you trouble. To find their weaknesses. You can also go with specialist, like warriors for group BG pvp. Rogue for dueling, druid for WPVP, priest for group healer etc...

    I'm interested in mostly world PvP (bgs aren't even up at launch in classic if I'm correct), and I'd like a class that's useful even with the gear I'd get from leveling and doing dungeons. Should I play a rogue? Like it should be decent since you can stunlock people for 10 seconds in 1v1s, blind, sap, stunlock again... reset cds and repeat if needed. And with evis base damage you should be able to kill even geared dps when you get the opener? And should I run swords or daggers? Is backstab worth it even without a ton of crit? Or should I just go for swords and hemo before like full MC gear? Also, I know there will be loads of rogues so it will be kinda rough to gear up. Especially since I may not be playing classic full time after hitting 60, but as a side activity when all of the retail weekly stuff is done, or when my arena partners aren't online. Do you think I could get into MC raids as a pug by abusing the fact that my girlfriend will be playing a priest, and trying to get my scuffed undead ass into any raid she can? Does anyone know if the fabled vanilla priest is indeed as powerful as in the tales I have been told? Are they actually that desired, they can get groups to take int a badly geared pvp rogue just to get the priest? Could they even bargain to secure something like... tier pieces or core hound teeth for their mate..? :)
