If a rogue ganks you in world PVP, is there anything you can do? I’m guessing not, but I thought I’d ask.
I was an Ele Shaman, for what it’s worth.

A well played rogue is very hard to beat 1v1. They can break off and re-engage and have a lot of control. When I was on my (now deleted again) Shaman, I was very popular wih rogues. I did not win many of those, but was not super well geared or super well played. Also, that was mostly in bgs when I was away from the group a bit.
I think you have to plan ahead and have some surprises ready. But that means a lot of vigilance. I suspect there are some excellent shamans here who may have some suggestions. Perhaps one will see this and respond.

It depends on the environment, considering u have the same gear lvl than him u can survive enought to try to CC him and flee from a cliff with a glider or push him off the cliff.
U can also try to queue something as healer spec and get teleported instantly like SoloShuffle if u survive enought.
If he have superior gear then u wont have the necessary time to do that.
If hes a sub rogue and knows how to play reasonably good then u cant do anything, they can kill even other rogues specs.
If u’re a tank (except DH) u can survive and kill ANY dps or healer (including rogues but they’ll vanish).
If u’re a healer u can survive any dps or tank till ur mana runs dry (then u die) but u cant kill anyone.
Thats it.

Hi Op!
As elemental you have access to a lot of casting schoools and want to make use of them. So preferably you want to get kick in fire or ice school before getting kicked in nature. With this in mind, I would aim to kite the rogue till you can tell they are out of option then pressure them. Also going counterstrike totem can be a great use of a pvp talent. Also having lasso with help as well.
Oooo and always always look for knockback opportunities . Keep in mind a good kb can win a fight in one fell swoop!

There’s no better feeling in wpvp than landing a good knockoff after getting jumped. It’s even better than in bgs, and as an ele you have a good knock back.
Been having fun with the mage knockback spell. It’s a great tool to have when getting jumped by rogues. If they don’t want to play fair, then why should we?

Unless you’re a Fistweaver, of course.

Me on Ret, uh bubble hearth. If the Rogue is well geared and well played I just die while stunned otherwise

I do like knocking rogues, but sometimes they immune traps and shadow step or shadow strike knockbacks. Great when it works though
Nope, absolutely nothing you can do except allow your fate to unfold.

I eat rogues for breakfast. They usually run away… That’s the bait. They’re healing. Take that chance to fly away, but it’s best to just glide off. A rogue is one thing but if you get one of those super good subtlety rogue you got only one escape chance. Don’t miss it.
And that chnace is?
Well to run away lol
It’s hilarious when they do.
