Best class for Shadowland's

What will be the best class for shadowlands for 2s/3s/duel pvp. I have all classes at lvl 50 now and all of them around ilvl 124. I want to play an easy class that will do well in pvp 2s 3s duel and that will also do well in pve witouth changing gear or stuff…

For now my choices are : SHADOW PRIEST / SUB ROGUE / RET PALADIN.

What are your toughts ? I also have all classes so just tell me what I should main

all 3 of those are looking really good, especially sub and sp

both classes seem pretty complete and very meta rn

those 2 are as good bets as any to be the best melee or caster in s1 imo

well sub rogue is not the easiest class to play but pretty easy if u know what only you have to do to oneshot ppl

what about shadowpriest for 2s 3s and pve

Shadow is garbage so is rogue, go with enhancement shaman or demo lock.

why is that lmao

Man, I saw that ez mode build where dance gives you 40% extra damage or something, instead of an additional charge, and what the heck is that :thinking: I thought vendetta was stupid but I guess I was wrong.

42% if you go nightstalker as well, it’s one of those yolo 1 shot builds and doesn’t seem like it will be the norm. Also shadowstrike being copied and then doing 100% more dmg from the copy of it w. legendaries probably contributes to that

Ret has tendency to be nerfed heavily early on.

I would 100% go sub, as it’s historically always strong, spriest as alt maybe cause it’s really strong at the moment and the gameplay flows really well, the rework is pretty good.

its worded weirdly. it doesnt increase your damage by 40% (the modifier is 30 not 40 btw) but increases the damage amplifier of dance from 15% to 30%

not really worth playing cuz when playing nightstalker you only lose 3% dmg during dance while gaining an additional charge on top of the increased cdr

and the loss of subterfuge is offset by the additional charge

Rogue seems solid though I don’t think any class is as well rounded as priest atm. Shadow looking amazing for pvp and pve in al categories but even crazier if you like healing disc is rank 1 throughout and top 1-2 all healing specs for all content and holy is not looking bad. If you don’t mind a respec to healing priest could be the top dog off all specs to start this xpack

Oh ok that makes sense. It was one of those one off youtube videos that shows the builds & some highlights. They didn’t really go into depth (and I’m bad for not fact checking).

not your fault, the way its worded thats what you would think. just another case of blizzard being lazy and ambiguous with their descriptions

I have been healing for a while, but I leveled sub rogue during the prepatch (well I started leveling a little before the prepatch) and have really been enjoying it. Damage looks like its going to be a lot more rewarding than healing in pvp, and then there is doing pve content~ which looks equally fun, even if its a little harder to find groups due to being a healer. Nevertheless I think sub rogue will be a good time~ I may even start doing bgs again lol. Excited for slands

Go with sp or rogue out of those 3 choices. Both can play double dps 2’s and have a fair amount of 3v3 comps and can duel. Windwalker is also a monster in all of those as-well and fun to play

Pretty much this. I imagine RMX will be strong as well as RPX and RLS.

Just play sub, you will regret not playing it.

So sub will be top dps i heard
