- I plan to do mostly solo rated BG and random BGs’
- I am wanting to play ONLY DPS role, i have no interest in healing or tanking.
- I am not sure if i prefer single target damage or cleave damage.
- I think i prefer melee over range DPS but that could change.
- I don’t like utility, but i do like mobiility.
- A class with at lease two DPS Specs would be great.
- As for APM(Actions Per Minute) i like fast, but i can go slower if needed.
I have not looked at all the changes coming in the new expansion but i want to take PVP more seriously then i have in the last couple of expansions. So i am unaware as to class/spec changes. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Based on your criteria I would suggest the following.
Rogue
- pure melee
- good tricks and mobility
- high APM
- more than one dps spec
Hunter
- survival for melee, but two additional ranged specs if you wanna switch things up.
- can cleave from ranged and melee but also has excellent single target damage in melee (survival)
- pretty fast paced
- decent mobility and utility
Druid
- feral for melee, better at focussed ST over cleave damage (feral seems to be a fair bit stronger on beta so might be viable although you don’t see a lot on live right now)
- can switch up to boomie for a ranged dps option if you get bored
- great mobility and utility
All of the above have one potential con though in that those three classes are often the best at taking and holding nodes. So you may get people complaining if you’re not doing objectives like they think you should, but if you’re doing solo / casual BGs you can kind of do whatever, but if you get into group PvP content be prepared for a huge focus on objectives and less potential opportunity for group clashes
There are of course other options like shaman, monk, warrior, pally. Other people may have additional suggestions. I personally play healers and ranged dps classes primarily so my suggestions above are based off of classes that frustrate me most as a healer or ranged dps.
Fury Warrior
Feral Druid
Windwalker Monk
Sounds like fury warrior is good for you, little utility and high mobility, super high APM with 2 specs, and arms is usually a very good spec in arena if you even want to play it, fury has the ability to do high HIGH aoe burst with the use of death wish, and also has high self sustain, is also able to do high ST burst within their cooldowns, has had it all but just gone unnoticed and getting even more in TWW, imo a super strong RBG spec already but seriously underrated.
op sounds like a good candidate for rolling a Holy Priest…

theres lots of warriors and rogues and hunters…try something super cool like unholy dk or frost dk. In the last few seasons and couple of expacs i cant say they have been top tier but i think they go under-valued and can do super damage and are frustrating to play against as a healer. I think they can have single target builds or the cleave-build which is ideal for bgs. maybe not arena. Just my 2 cents and i probably only have 1 cent to offer because im a healer…but just an under appreciated class i hate playing against as a healer
Would you recommend another under-valued class? i might give DK another try. What about a caster class?
through vanilla, bc, wrath and cata i had a mage alt.
Back then frost was the pvp spec but i was also on some
busy raid guilds so I played arcane and fire a lot in pve.
I found mage to be the funnest casting spec until I switched to heals.
Mages are always able to find teams and do well in pvp. boomies and warlocks are also
heavy hitters in pvp on a consistent basis.
Fury warrior with new second wind, good self heals.
no!..no more warriors…bad mohz…

Frost DK is also pretty great with the changes! I’m definitely playing mine.
Frost dk is so under used. I dont get it and not only that but frost dks’…man those ARE wow personified…ala the lichking…come on! that bfa cinematic where sylvie beats the lichking gave me a huge nerd-bone. I can’t stand the mass chains which is probably why i dont like them
I played one in the Beta in the PVP with the Blues and it was actually pretty nice, as long as I had a healer with me, I was hitting hard with Obliterate.
In DF they were just bad, bad defensive, bad offensive.
i didn’t read all the replies but you just described a BM hunter
no!!! you go to your room and you think about what you just said! bad Lameou…wow needs another bm like sylvie needs another death…bad bad death knight. shame on you
its also cool cause if he decides he likes melee he can go sv and be the only sv hunter in shuff rbgs
hmm…best i can do is outlaw rogue
What’s changed? Are they still a 1min go and run away style of play?
Also, OP you should absolutely try DH. The mobility is incredible, damage is incredible and the utility is doing MORE damage. Does great single target and cleave too.
