What was OP in WOTLK?
Death Knights!
Anything with Shadowmourne
Death knights and paladins.
Monks
Restoration rogues.
DKs were busted.
If we’re talking about WOTLK classic and you are already thinking of what you want to play for whatever reason
just play whatver you like
seriously.
Everyone will be playing the most Meta and OP classes so the less played one’s that still have utility will still be in demand. There is usually always a reason to bring a certain spec.
Death Knight
DK’s, Ret Paladins to begin with.
Later on, basically any class that could reach (and utilize) 100% Armour Pen became giga-busted, especially with Shadowmourne, so Warriors mostly.
I still have ptsd Nightmares of Retribution Paladins until this very Day.
Sure Death Knight where overpowered at the very beginning of WotLK, but Ret Paladins were the Apex class in both PVP and PVE throughout the entire expansion.
Not to mention a full Wrathful Geared Retribution Giga Chadadin with Deathbringers Will and wielding Shadowmourne spent his free time solo killing poor Thrall.
No, DKs were fine. Nm what they’re doing. Look at the shiny!
Hunters were obscenely busted with that armor pene. Looked at bosses and you did high DPS.
Honestly, most specs and classes did really well.
DK, 100%
My guild in WOTLK capped how many raiders could reroll DK.
Death Knights and Paladins…
those 2 by far the most OP classes
resto druids, they cannot be killed in pvp if played right.
Death Knights and Ret paladins reach OP status very fast but other classes catch up eventually with the right gear after DK and Ret got nerfed.
It was in WotLK where we became more than pvp fodder and tin healers wasn’t it?
WHat ranged were OP.
I kinda want to do a Lock
Val’anyr is pretty crazy too.
