More than a solo warrior.
Is a Druid gonna kill a r14 warrior? Probably not
What??? Between roots and healing and bear form how the hell is a druid losing to a warrior 1v1?
When people say stock vanilla BGs are balanced, they mean in a team or raid sense. It isn’t balanced around 1v1 because this is an RPG (classes have roles)
In 20 years I have never heard anyone say that stock vanilla BGs are balanced. If anything I have heard over and over and over again how unbalanced it is. Honestly maybe TBC I could see them being as close to balanced as ever but Vanilla? never heard it.
But back to the original question which is what class is bad in BGs? The answer is warrior for exactly all those things even you just said. Vanilla PVP is not balanced 1v1, there are some classes that have a much, much stronger toolkit for PVP than others. Warriors got the short end of the stick, that’s all.
It isn’t a question of “what is the worst class in a BG if the teams are balanced and all classes work together effectively” it’s just a simple “what class is bad in BGs”. warrior.
I love playing warrior in Vanilla, smashing faces in BGs is awesome but every single warrior knows how much it sucks to be in a BG and not have a healer or someone to dispel. Luckily there are a ton of things you can do to mitigate that but then we’re getting to specifics and comparing “warrior with engineering” vs “warrior without” or warrior with world buffs and full r14 gear vs X class, or whatever. I can think of hundreds of scenarios where a warrior does great but again that’s not the question.
Maybe i’m just being pedantic but Vanilla wow was absolutely never known for PVP balance and warriors were always the butt of the joke for requiring 2 pocket healers to make them any good in a BG.
