Best overall PVP class spec/build in classic

What do you guys think was the best pvp overall class?

Hunter?
Lock?

We all know warriors geared up were gods in bgs but what do you think overall best class/spec was.

Take everything into account such as
1v1
world pvp
battlegrounds

Not best at 1 or the other but over all best pvp class.

Im going with hunter, what do you guys think?

I agree with hunter, though I’m admittedly a little biased. Locks could probably be called equal in all honesty.

Hunters are amazing… but a mage can also dead zone you and make you useless. I don’t think there is an alpha class in vanilla.

warlock is by far the strongest

But you can be 2 shot if you are caught off guard

by a rogue when you’re in MC pve dps gear, sure. That’s why there are pvp sets.

Hunters can 2 shot a lock, warriors too

I’ve actually recovered from attempted ganks by rogues on my warlock, if they can’t kill you in the stun window they get boned by Deathcoil/SL, dot and fear spam. Even if they kill you they end up dying right after.

If you know the mage is there ahead of time, you should never get deadzoned.

If a mage is in your deadzone, get away. They will no longer be able to get into your deadzone

Warlock for 1v1 and BGs…

but since WPvP is on the list as well I’ll say Hunters

Lock WPvP is great until you die once… Then you are in for a good old fashioned camping trip, as your post rez recovery back to combat readiness is like 2minutes of drinking/buffing/resummoning and costs multiple soul shards.

What if the mage moves with you so he stays in your dead zone, can’t melee or range him because you are slowed from a rank 1 Frostbolt.

Obviously things are going to play out differently depending on if you are prepared for someone or they get the jump on you… I was just pointing out that situationally the “best class” can be reduced to “useless”.

There isn’t one, PvP is based on rock paper scissors balance, so who do you want to kill?

Player > Class

A really good player will make any class shine. A baddie, even in good gear, will get stomped.

Consumables and random items > Class

But probably Warlock

And two players of relatively equal skill comes down to rock paper scissors, and gear.

This is a meme that is going to disappoint a lot of people.

Rogue, Mage, Warlock, Shadow Priest

Overall it’s rogue. Top pve dps. Outstanding in World PvP and duels. Good in BG’s.

And sometimes luck. A big crit when most classes had no self healing was a game changer.

Thats not a meme at all. A well geared warrior with a healer in pvp is a wrecking ball
