According to my older friends, Cataclysm had a reasonably balanced PvP experience. Considering this, does it possess the potential to be the ultimate savior for World of Warcraft PvP?

I’m sure it’ll do about as good as wrath classic pvp is doing.

Yeah, no shot. 
S9/S10 had the most balanced pvp, S11 ruined everything with pve gear
historically speaking, s9 and s10 were two of the most “balanced” PvP seasons ever and s11 wasn’t too bad aside from dragon soul trinkets and rogue daggers which kinda made it bad
that being said, have they even confirmed that classic cata is going to be a thing? i think like 75%+ of the classic player base wanted classic to stop at wrath and expand on that version of the game

Cata PvP was awful.

People like to hate on Cata but honestly I remember Cata fondly. One of the best eras for pvp. The pve was fun too. Dragon Soul was one of the only times I raided almost every week on multiple characters - mainly for the op gear like cunning and vial of shadows but yeah.
But I doubt it will be the same the second time around. Current classic is plagued with bots and cheaters. And the community aspect as a whole is way different. The wpvp in cata on Bleeding Hollow is something that will never be replicated unfortunately.

i enjoyed getting 1 shot from lava bursts and 1 shot from dragon roars sure
My understanding is that people largely refer to Cata as the GOAT but you 1000000% have to PvE to PvP and that instantly ruins the game imo

this is really only true for s11
s9 had a crazy good trinket for rogue/feral but it was BoE and s10 staff for casters had a proc that was meh in PvP iirc
s11 is where everyone had a BIS raid trinket that had a chance to drop off every boss, including LFR, and rogue daggers while rogue was s+++ tier
The best season has always been the one that isn’t actively being played.

S10 was when blizzard reset mmr mid season…mid season…did anybody even play then? I wonder if people look on it fondly because nobody actually queued.
Also S11 was not balanced at all. The meta was literally just RLS, which could pve any other comp into the ground except for its one counter…triple dps, which of course had a rogue in it too.
wrath pvp is very dead and a lot of classic players are going to end their wow career when wotlk is over, or they’re going to go back to vanilla classic.
Why are you guys discussing clsssic in arena forums
Cata was easily one of the worst expansions ever for arena. Legendaries were busted. Trinkets were busted. You had to PvE…
RLS completely dominated arena and nearly every melee but rogue was useless.
Classic pvp is never gonna be good, whether they give us MoP or WoD (WoD pvp was lit, no cap).
People know what’s gonna be good, people know what the meta’s are. For example LSX bossed MoP. Think about the amount of people whom are gonna roll lock and shamans to play that because they want validation from PvP in classic.
The PvP could be so fun, but the over amount of rerollers to meta comps/classes is just too much. Same problem retail has now right, caster comps good? That’s all you see. Kills the game off people can’t stick to say, two classes they have played since the start.
