dps class with the least gear requirement to do well in BGs?

  • hey guys. I have no desire to do arenas or get Bis anything on my characters but I like the 70 bracket cause the gear is a lot more normalized than others. What dps class (including hybrid specs, ranged or melee) can get by the most with pure honor pvp gear? I still plan on gemming and enchanting the best I can but raiding is kind of out of the question. Thanks for any help.
     
    Mage obviously, get 30 streaks every game and im just leveling mine through
     
    Hopefully not too de-rail-y: Where would you guys rate spriests on the needs pve gear scale?

    Have to agree with Gihipoxu, mage is by far the best class in the 70's and probably the one that will be more effective with only Player vs. Player gear than any other.

    Altough rogue could do as well.
     
    I would say Elemental shaman. Just finished leveling mine to 70 and got her fully geared with honor items.

    Having a blast in random battlegrounds.

    Sure Mage would work as well, but I find that awfully boring to play.

    Absolutely, i wouldn't say i'm a bad spriest in PvE at all - though that is up to debae no doubt, but of the majority of dps classes and specs i've seen, shadowpriest has got to be near the bottom of the pile when it comes to PvE.



    However, in PvP it's about burst and not necessarily sustained damage, the only burst being mind blast + devouring plague with shadowfiend up, undoubtedly PvE gear helps tremendously in initiating that burst, but outside of it you will drop like a fly to any geared PvE rogue/mage, who will 99% of the time kill you before you kill them.



    For isntance, in 3s, i run in full resi gear, simply cause of the amount of mages, not to do so would result in deaths pre deep, dispersion, or indeed trinket. So if anything; i'd urge on the side of caution with stacking PvE gear.
     
    True vapriest, however he said he cbas with arena, so personally I would take loads of pve gear as spriest, since damage feels really crap in bg, by the time u put ur dots, another class has probably scored a kill already. So I like as much haste and int as I can get while keeping like 250 300 resi or so, just to not die from 1 stun / silence. I rarely use cooldowns in bg so when there actually is a decent player in le bg, I pop some against them, or when I'm outmanned. This is playstyle though, urs might be different. But yeah id say spriest runs best on quite some pve gear in bg. Imo every dps class does. So still, get a mage theyll do best in brutal gear.
     
    rogue requires gear end of story against people in resil sets there like a wet carrot if there not geared , mage easily best with 0 gear shatter 2 buttons dead (against dps anyway) s priest really needs the gear to be up to par with a mage on that scale. if ur decent at dk they can also go alright without the need for pve gear (helps ALOT tho) would be hard to argue what is best apart from mage
     
    Run-on sentences make my head hurt.



    Yeah I would have to say mages are the easiest to play at 70, if you know how to play one. A good mage in greens is tough. A good mage in full pvp gear is impossible to beat (without a frost resist set) and a terrible mage will die fast either way.

    problem is with dk's its not really ideal to play even with the full potential of gear was getting farmed yesterday morning by 2rogues on Gy alone xD , getting 7.5K ~ crits everytime i respawned for about 8 times with 540 resilience , Mage is defo The way to go ... rogue is good but no point , i have a rogue nothing serious brutal gear no gems doing 2K-3K ambushes on clothes etc .

    was not saying they ideal simply if he wanted a class for bgs there not to look past.
