Cant decide what to main in Season 3

PVP Battlegrounds
1

So, this are my level 70s. And i cant decide. Im leaning towards priests because the tier set looks astounding, but these are my choices and the whys.

Priest - Gorgeous elite set, AND its a healer, and two forms of healing in case i want to switch it up. The only issue is i dont really like shadow much nowadays. So i feel incomplete not digging a DPS spec. Gets me fast into queues

Demon Hunter - I feel like a beast playing DH, all those hard to kill targets just getting melted now. Squishy is the only downside, also only 1 way to DPS, so i cant mix it up.

Hunter - Ranged vertion of DH, but also 3 dps specs. Only downside is that, and ive always hated that about hunter is the extremely long defensive cooldowns., Why is survival of the fittest still almost 3 mins ? and every other class has its defensive at 2 minutes ?

Mage - Thematically i love mages, specially fire mages, the only downside is that i feel the 20% hp penalty is too extreme, AND Blazing Barrier is giving about 20% less hp, gotta hate those bugs.

Warrior - Warrior never been better, but i played it since vanilla to Legion, then skipped on BFA then on Shadowlands, at this moment i find it too boring.

DK - i would love to like it, but somehow, when i always play it, it feels trash in pvp.

Shaman - Ele shaman seems like nice for alts, but not really digging it

Evoker - I really wanted to like it, i hate Augmentation, and Devastation is too damn squishy, if they’d give plates 40% instead of 30% i would switch to it.

Druid - Its just too much, i kind of love/hate druids, i feel like playing a druid is commiting to play druid and like nothing else.

Mages are fun! I’m loving arcane right now. Don’t expect to start owning right away though, all mage specs are squishy until you start using the kit properly, then it feels amazing.

my cousin has been having a blast on his frost mage so far. i normally pocket heal for him and he peels for me… so it’s a nice combo.

My problem with playing a DK is there are so many “physical resistances” in the game that can last about 10 to 20 seconds. So while you are getting massively clobbered by the classes with those physical resistances, you can’t get any of your health back from death strike which is a physical attack.

That’s also why I stopped playing my felguard warlock. A rogue (or ret pally) would knock off a large chunk of my health and I would be doing very little damage to them because the felguard uses almost all physical abilities. And good luck trying to get a cast off with a rogue or pally in your face. It was a hopeless fight. I don’t mind having an anti-class to what I’m playing, but to have almost no chance at winning is just absurd.

Blizz needs to tone down physical resistances to a max of 8 to 10 seconds. Not sure how that could happen because some classes have both full immunity to all damage as well as other abilities that also have full immunity to physical resistances.

yeah, however being plate it kind of feels weird, that with DK i feel squishy the most against Warrior, Rogue and Hunter… those 3 i feel very weak against with DK.

I’d only play priest if you’re healing, shadow is looking like a complete trainwreck, getting rolled 24/7 in every lobby and with md and ms nerfs and big melee buffs its gonna be super unfun.

DH is probably gonna get nerfed soon, and you’re vulnerable to just getting 100-0’d in a stun, but it IS fun and you do big d. If you’re good with pre-glimpse the go then its S tier for sure.

Hunter is prob ur safest bet, all 3 specs looking good and you can turn your brain off and global people, MM gonna be even more nasty with 4pc set.

Mage has a VERY, I mean VERY big learning curve and can be very frustrating if its your first time. You need to play ahead of people with alter time and 0 heals. Altho fire and arcane do pump if you’re allowed to b free.

Warrior is probably the most busted melee atm (arms) and fury with set is gonna roll every melee (maybe except ret) over when the set hits.

DK I haven’t played much.

Shaman is great for an alt since you can turn your brain off and bot it out. Honestly stopped gearing mine since LB hits like a noodle and I don’t like the cheesy oneshot stuff where you just waiting until everything lines up and pray you proc. Great utility though.

Evoker should be aug only, deva desintegrate hits really hard but you just flop.

Druid boomkin isn’t that hard to pick up, you just need to learn when to engage and back off. Feral has great damage but same thing as DH, if you’re focused you gon be in bear most of the time and when you switch to cat you get stunned and die.

my 2c.

thanks for your 2c.

I think i actually decided.

Im going to be maining Priest, just because i love the elite pvp priest set. And yeah its been my main, and ill be healing.

Alts will be Mage and Hunter, with DH a bit after when i have the melee urge.

Im probably not going to be touching DK, its weird, i sometimes thing it should be pumping way more, yet somehow it feels trash in the battlefield.

I actually agree, and shadow feels boring, and way too much casting, i used to love Shadow back in shadowlands.

It was the most fun in Blitz, i gotta be honest. Sometimes my Eye beam were straight up killing people. But its been nerfed on the defensive department, now darkness only has 30% chance in shuffle, and 15% chance in raid bg. Whereas it used to do 25%/50%. And no demon from the Shadowlands, so no more 20% hp heal.

Evoker felt very fun at the beginning, and i actually enjoyed a lot Devastation. I love how it plays… (if you have a healer behind), because class is extremely squishy, it feels even more squishy than fire mage for example. As with Fire Mage at least you get control of stuff.

Yeah i agree, ill be using Ele shaman when im bored

Have you considered ret or ww? Both are beasts in bgs and their heal specs are also a lot of fun in bgs

Not really, those are the classes that thematically, i like the least

Monk, i dont like much the chinese vibes, and as for paladin, its kind of the zealot, the difference with Holy Priest and Holy Paladin for me, is that the Holy Priest feels to me is more like a channeler, as if he is a preacher of the naaru or the void. And i can always play shadow or discipline

Whereas for me the Paladin feel more like oath/zealotry binded

Those 2 and rogue are the classes i like the least… Because even though i dont have a Warlock, i at least like the warlock

10

Demon Hunters and Hunters feel too good right now. They’ll be the first to get the nerf bat for sure.

Right ? i feel those two are the only classes doing any damage …

12

They’re performing so well that I intentionally pick them out of a team fight to focus on. I’m really thinking that with the first wave of tuning DH and Hunter are going to get some form of nerf.

Elemental Shamans are also hitting like a truck. Not sure where those guys came from. I was hit by 2 ~200k Lava bursts in a row yesterday. This was in BG blitz, so no saltwater potion.

13

Ret gets 100k hammer of wrath crits for whatever reason There’s a lot of damage going around atm

14

thats like 3 ticks from Eye Beam, or 2 Rapid fire shots.

Yeah but at least with Ele Shamans you can tell, its like coreographed…

With hunter you usually take an arrow out of nowhere.

I hope they dont nerf em, i think their damage is really nice, i would bump fire mage damage about 15% to make them more threatening, and maybe others as well.
