Which should i choose, im a more pvp oriented kind of person, ive studied both class and i have listed out all the advantage and disadvantage of making both characters but i just cant help it knowing that mage is cool and complicated as said by jas, so what do you guys think? Which should i choose? Also which is the best class for 1-70 sprint and which realm is suitable for me?

druid is harder to play, if your the type that like to support people go for druid... healing, buffing, attack,.... zzzz

mage is easier since you just need to spam attack and run if the mob chase you. and you don't have to give a damn about other people buff and hp...

anyway since malaysia line sux. a laggy healer = bad choise

warrior

i lol'ed

Agreed. Big hit.

whats with a warrior, so druids a bad choice ? what do you mean by laggy, as in spike lags or the delay? i might as well go for a mage, ive read about warlocks having a lot of hp but theyre not versatile like mages,rogues or druids. I like spellcasters.

I think just try rolling a character and level to 10. Then hit WSG and u'll see the different gameplay.

Side topic : Your signature . Try dungeons in WoW and you add another thing that DoTA doesn't : getting 5 people to work together to complete an instance. But I can tell you now that with your DOTA mindset, you might not make it in WoW and find it hard. Treat WoW is a completely new game and just enjoy it.

Isnt wsg like mass pvp, why a level 10, i cant be hurting no level 70 right? I cant wait to get my starter kit, im so excited. One final decision to make as to which realm im going to play, i dont have friends who are into wow and im not going to play with my sis as she has her own guild with her schoolmates.

My 20sen:

PvP support - Shaman
I like the things being done to restoration shamans. They have more backups instead of just direct heals, can now decurse and polymorph. A lot of new abilities are purge bait, including top-end priest talents, so shamans who balance offense and healing will be formidable. It is more of skill-based class - harder to master and very frantic, but potentially more rewarding. Druid is easier to play, but has lower skill cap. Up to you.

PvP melee - Rogue
Rogues are arguably better than warriors because of repeating WoW trends. They traditionally are underpowered at the beginning of expansion, then progressively get stronger until becoming the top class (top class in S4 today). Rogues have more defensive outs, are less prone to CCs/kiting than other melee classes, and versatile enough to play in a lot of team compositions. The downside is they are extremely cooldown-dependent, so if you run out of timers you have to reset the fight. Upside is you can execute a lot of impressive combos, it is one of the more skillful PvP classes.

PvP caster - Mage
Mage has the most complete toolset of all caster classes. Defensive outs, kiting abilities, WTFburst combo, crowd control, mana recovery and spammable instants. My favorite class is the warlock, but the warlock has almost no outs against melee zergs, whereas mage has a lot of anti-melee tools. The main bane of mage for 2 WoW versions, the Felhunter, has been weakened considerably next expansion.

Warsong Glunch : 10 vs 10. Take the enemy flag and bring to your base. Lvl 10 to start.

Arathi Basin : 15 vs 15. Hold Node (there's 5) and be the faction that gains 2000 resourcess. Lvl 20 or 30 to start.

Alterac Valley : 40 vs 40. Destroy towers and kill the enemy boss. Lvl 40 to start.

Eye of the Storm : 15 vs 15. Combination of Flag + Node holding (4). Be the first to get 2000 resources (flag contributes to resource goal). Lvl 60 to start.

For each BG, there's a lvl requirement : Lvl10-19 in one, lvl 20-29 in another. All these BGs are generally short term PVP.

Try Thaurissan. Relatively save PvP server and you can also check out LoTH. They accept leveling characters.

god your 20 cents blow on rogues.

the "trend" with rogues is the opposite of what your saying. they OWN a LOT at first then tend to suck later on due to bad scaling. arguebly after NUMEROUS patches on TBC, with the complete subtlety tree revamping allowing rogues to competitively scale through gear along with other classes (read: faggot warriors). those said talents, mainly comes from deadliness, and sinister calling, not to mention hemo is already a flat % based dmg as opposed to SS's flat raw dmg, and the fact that it has better energy per CP and better dmg per energy, AND has no positional requirement.

and top class in s4? no. S3, MAYBE, and thats due to the short lived glory days of AR Prep. its legacy only carried on with shadowstep + sinister calling and deadliness scaling. and of course, cheat death.

HAI DRUIDS LOL

With a level 60 mage experience under my belt , I can say that if u want to roll a mage, be prepared to have a mindset where u don't ever want to get touched by melee if you want to succeed. Unlike other classes where their main defense is armor (passive defence) , the mage survives with an active defence capability.

This means that you have to actively counteract other classes with spells and abilities, much more so than any other classes since mages have no healing ability whatsoever and have the weakest armor.

You are a favorite target in battlegrounds amongst other classes, even against other mages since you die easiest and deal damage the hardest (I leave that part up for speculation) .

More often than not I keep hearing that mages are the hardest class to excel at, since each class you fight requires a radically different approach. Using the same strategy to kill a warrior as you would a priest will get you killed more often than not.


P.S Dota is by no means an "MMORPG". MMORPG stands for Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Game. Which means you control one character in one world where there is usually hundreds, if not thousands of people playing in the same world at the same time .

Dota is a custom map/game mode made for warcraft III that got popular.

It's natural that, using all internet proof, we defend the underdog status of our favorite class. Heck I play a druid (badly), but let's look at it objectively. I don't like to argue with you, it always turns into sweaty a$$rimming and non-lubricated penetration.

Melees especially rogues just tended to scale better as the current version goes to the final stretch. The trend is not only TBC but also vanilla WoW, good thing for clothies that there weren't many kingsfall rogues back then

here's one of the many internet proofs yarrr:
http://www.arenajunkies.com/showthread.php?t=37751

fk that shit just roll a rogue skillless class dont even need to know how to play 1 to own with it.

Well, druids are hard to kill if they know how to heal.

your internet proof is making a joke outta urself.
do you realize that gladiator's consist only like... 5% (IINM) of the arena population?

and EVEN THAT, look at the numbers urself LOL
i did mentioned maybe season 3 due to AR PREP glory days.

ur basically taking arenajunkies, protraying ONLY gladiator population, vs sk-gaming list, which draws WoW ARMORY DATA, from ALL REGIONS OF WOW minus china.
think ahead before spread misinformation. i am a person that follows on the pvp world actively afterall. (though the recent tourney is a HUGE LETDOWN, farkin WLD fest zzzzzzz NEED COM RMP PRZ!)

If I remembered correctly, the AR/Prep was nerfed way before end of S3.

SK is kook though, if you click on many of the teams displayed, you get abandoned teams or placeholders.

wow i browsed through ur link and saw a rank 1 pvp player, a druid and warlock, does that mean both are the two top class. They are rank 1 in 2vs2 and 1 in 5vs5 with rating of 2400 and 2200

towards the end nerfing yes, but at the same time they buffed shadow step

also, despite abandoned teams, it is still more accurate than say, US realm gladiators ONLY statistic, dont you think? considering EU/US/Taiwan/Korea full teams are displayed on SK-gaming, statistic inaccuracy should be kept minimal

I know Resto Druid are OP in pvp but i love to play as a Boomkin in arenas lol.
