What is the best solo open world pvp class when geared in classic era?
I’m biased of course, but probably warlock. Soul link warlock in tier 3 is about equivalent to godhood.

I think a shadow priest, perhaps dwarf, is quite strong 1v1 vs most classes especially with gear.

Hmm i would love to see a dwarf shadow priest vs Undead Affliction Lock. Both cancel fear. But the fel hunter eats buffs. Would be a great match i think. Or even destro with succ
When I see this question and I see that there are multiple answers after 20 years, then the real answer is simple:
It depends on the player.
There are certainly some classes that wouldn’t make the list but the quality of the player will depends on whether or not you choose SP, Lock or others.

Ele sham, Sub rogue, Frost mage, Demo/Aff warlock, Holy/ret pally. Surv Hunts for their kites For reg lvl 60 Classic yea.
I did it in order but I would actually put Sub above most Ele tbh. Orc sham.

In Classic I wouldn’t put Ele that high on the list. They are good, but not that good. lol
In world pvp Hunter is unbelievably annoying if you can’t find a line of sight in a lot of cases there’s almost nothing you can do

You clearly aren’t experienced in vanilla wow pvp
Ele shaman definitely a contender for top 3 strongest pvp classes in classic
Just most people dont know how to actually play or gear them properly
People grind our rank 14 on ele shaman not realizing that half the rank 10 set is better and a mix of mc/zg/bwl gear is stronger than the rank 14 set for ele pvp.

Mage or Rogue. Especially, since solo doesn’t mean 1v1.

You know what they say when you ASSume.
Against equally geared and skills. Ele is not in the top 3 of classic PVP specs.

The only classes that counter ele shaman at equal gear is warlock and shadow priest
Every other matchup an ele should win
Warrior vs ele shaman is 50/50, mainly dependent on who crits more
See, now that you thought about it you just mention 3 classes… I wouldnt even give Warrior a shot against a good Ele. I dont see how you are beating rogues and a good frost mage that knows how to blanket silence a shatter.
But, yeah… Ele is top 3. lol
Lol bro,
You clearly dont have experience with good players in pvp
Ele shaman should win the fight against frost mage 100% of the time 1v1.
Name any class besides warlock that doesn’t struggle against at least 2 other classes,(and even with warlock they have hunter/warrior)

I think he’s just referring to 1v1, in which case I agree with him. But as a whole yes, ele is probably top 3 but it isn’t an extremely fluent 1v1 class without engi/con usage

Can confirm I’ve played a mage since 2019
Shamans counter mages with literally everything

Absolutely. In group pvp Ele sham’s really shine. I would take Ele’s over Ret’s 100% of the time.
And yes I am talking about 1v1’s.
You ever see a 5 man group of ele shamans farming 200+ kills in AV under 10 minutes?
I have, and it was blatantly unfair.
Shame everyone goes zug mode and just rolls enhance.
Its so RNG that to me at least. Its just not a fun play style. Ele is just so much more fun to play.

Ele is better from level 1, through Naxx.
Even at low levels your shocks are better, more consistent, uses a shield and has mana and regen to heal with no downtime.
Ele is outright better.
