What’s the best/easiest class to faceroll solo in bgs, that’s not DH? Also a class that’s good against DH so I can hunt them all down.
Roll a fire mage and solo the guardian fc with 1 mil hp.

Rogues are good at hunting DH. At least they seem to be good at hunting me down =P
Mage is a great solo class

Fire mage, especially with good gear. Hunters can do well I hear, as can rets with good gear.
Rogue might be best tho, since you can focus on what you want to focus on because of strong stealth and CC.
Honorable mentions to elemental shaman, destro, and spriest.
Rogues are essential to any BG and can easily single out pretty much anyone they choose.
But if you really are looking for an extremely faceroll class, then go Fire Mage and spam Greater Pyro, because you can kill anyone even if you’re naked as long as you can get a few of these out.

Faceroll FOR solo Bg is DH. Then Destro/FireMage. But go Rogue, they’re pretty much up there and they can take a DH 1v1. Make those Dhuntards cry.
Prot pally you have endless heals, bubbles and decent damage, mobility, cc immunity, etc. etc… The tanking essences are spicy.
I slowly consumed a Destro lock while a DH was going ham on me. I ignored him till after the lock was dead then ate him. So great 1 v 2 action.
Also most dmg is ranged on Prot so you can kill them when they hippidyhop in the air.

This sounds kinda fun actually lol. Endless heals you say? And what else is ranged beyond the hammer throw?
But as others have said, I probably have the most fun on my mage. Mobility is pretty nice, tankier than they look and dmg is definitely there. If you’re left alone to free cast… those sweeeeeeet sweet Greater Pyros really wreak someone’s day. And bonus is, you dont NEED a ton of gear to be effective out there as a fire mage, It definitely helps for sure.
Low level BGs = MM Hunter
Max level BGs = DH > Mage > Rogue > Warlock

Usually you will beat out most Healers in BGs, Your damage and healing are pretty even. Recently in a Twin Peaks I had 10 mil dmg and 10 mil healing. I had 10 KB’s.
Your Avenger Shield which can also silence with the PvP talent. Then you take double Judgements so it has 2 charges. So I pop seraphim then can Double cast Crucible, Judgements and Avenger shield and do a couple 100k dmg from range.
You have so many Absorbs, Nullbarrier, Resounding and Bulwark of light from your Avenger shield.
Prot Pally gives fire mages the most problems, when they go to poly you can Steed their CC and you are immune to all CC during it which gives you a nice knock back to hit ppl off LM or at Eye of the storm. You can also Steed through Monks Immune Ring to get them knocking them out of it. There really isn’t much you can’t get to or do.
One of the main nice bonuses of Prot Pally is you block those nasty Gpyro’s and Chaos bolts. You also can block all spell dots even rogues poisons but usually I just cleanse them when off CD. I have reduced a Gpyro down to 45k dmg. I have absorbed a chaos bolt.
When you block a spell it does 53% less dmg with my block value. (only 430 ilvl shield) That gets applied to all Essences too and dots rolling on me. Not only that all blocked spells or physical is returned damage to the player. One of my top damage abilities is my blocking damage proccing back at people constantly. It gets annoying and most casters usually try to run away from me in the end which they can’t get away.
So many locks, mages and boomkins slowly kill themselves casting on you and you have instant heals as you consume them.

Thanks for all this info. I’ve heard my guildies talking / lol’ing about doing WQs and BGs as prot a lot. I just recently leveled one during the XP boost. Went mainly ret, but I’m gonna give this a go.

It is really a lot of fun even though tanks take extra damage you can nullify most of it.
Give Rextroy youtube channel a watch he inspire me to switch from Prot War to Prot Pally because of how insane they are. Prot War just kinda fell apart and Pally has every tool you need. You can make some insane builds and you scale really well with gear.

I need 1 Righteous Conviction for the 200% heal during Wings you can 150-200k heal yourself or save a team mate instantly no cast.
As many Bulwark of the lights you can get for a bubble for every Shield toss.
1 Inspiring Vangaurd for the str proc and to increase Grand crusader which reset Shield toss so more bubbles and dmg.
I am still trying to get the big tanking essences but Aegis of Deep for all BGs usually does it for Versa stacks
Crucible since it hits really hard and is your ranged burst
Nullbarrier its a big magic absorb and does dmg when it explodes.
Then conflict/strife, Anima or Endurance

See a lot of people saying fire mage, which I guess is true, but it comes with the caveat of needing good gear if you want to reliably do well. Greater Pyroblast will only carry you so far, especially with most players now being hyper-aware of the presence of a fire mage – easily, 70%+ of my gpyro attempts are foiled and it’s exceptionally rare to be able to stand and chain them long enough to actually kill someone.
If you want “nuke” style, I would actually recommend destro locks. They can get their setup done and start deleting people a lot more reliably than fire mages can.

What traits and essences are you using?
Edit: Nm just saw you mentioned it above.
I dunno. I have so much fun on a guardian, even if we get nerfed. People complain I should have queued as healer, and then I solo defend a base nobody else could be bothered to defend.
