(EU) New to this bracket

[Furste]

Hey guys!

As my title says. Im new to this bracket, and very interested in it. I have a few questions:

How are the queues? For both horde and alliance

Should i go Horde or Alliance? W/L ratio and queue time is the most important thing for me

As a Twink. I wanna Pew pew. What are the FOTM right now, and which class should i avoid? Is there a class in this bracket which is really bad and not worth twinking?

Will there be alot of new items with 6.2 to use?

If you are twinking in this bracket. Feel free to write your BattleTag if you want to


Thanks guys. God bless!

Hello.
Just noticed your thread, I have recently joined this bracket and I'll share what I have noticed so far. But this is only my pov and also each of the classes can be weak or strong depending on how much the player is skilled which is what I really liked about this bracket.

DPS
Strong classes:
- Hunter /mostly BM or MM/
- Feral druid
- Frost DK

Moderate classes:
- Windwalker monk
- Mage
- Warlock /mostly destro/
- Ret pally
- Shadow priest

Healers
- Restoration druid for having the most effective cc's
- Holy paladin for being strong in the current patch
- Disc is still proving to be viable because of the shield/dispell

Now about the que time - I believe you have nothing to be worried about when you play random bgs or skirmishes. There are many lvl 90 characters that hasn't got upgraded to WoD.
Something I have noticed was the amount of hunters. Because of stampede it's really discouraging to face against 4+ hunters in every bg. I play frost mage alliance and whenever I join battleground I see atleast 4 hunters on Horde so I really hope you won't be another hunter but of course it's your personal choice

Win ratio from both factions are not same. Horde usually wins due to the amount of hunters and both teams lack healers. But i don't think it's because there aren't many healers but maybe because people just avoid playing healers generally.

Again this is only my perspective
Have fun!

Mage is my best class. How are mages atm? I'm thinking about making a 99 or 91 twink.

Really nice tbh, also in 6.2 it got buffed and with perfectly set-up stats mage can do so much dps.
According to other's advice the primary stat is versa>haste>mastery.
But I run mastery>haste>crit.
My mage is 99 lvl and people tell me I should've stopped at lvl 91 and probably they are right because apparently 91 lvl characters are stronger. But I have no regrets I wanted WoD perks.

DW frost is the way to go nowadays?

91 is only stronger in non-pvp content due to scaling. For pvp, a 99 is ALWAYS better than a 91

Its really hard to say that some DPS classes don't shine once fully twinked. FOTM(Flavor of the month) is currently anything with mindblowing burst. Really anything that can throw another player off their game and force them to burst cd's. Arcane can be really disgusting in those terms, but you obviously leave yourself open to being wrecked by other classes in any case as a mage. Pick whatever you feel is right and I bet you could have some fun with it.
I would advise you to pick up your 2 pvp trinkets as a mage, because otherwise you'll see yourself gettin removed within half a stunlock if not careful. Only suggestion I have for you when playing against such classes is to use your iceblocks offensively and block their burst accordingly. Fights between twinks usually never last that long and as a mage your strongest feature is obviously the kite. You cant let that break or you'll be toast.

To suggest any other classes I would probably suggest any bursty class with a decent self substain. (Since Fdk and BM has already been mentioned)Boomkin and ASSrogue's are the strongest classes in that category by a wide margin in my experience, but obviously skill plays into it.
