True, but it can be some long good fights against good 84s!

shame you didn't play back in 4.0.6 when i pretty much reigned 2's on my rshammy and even back then boedha was close to 2nd, has to be said pretty much all of the good pvp 80's have been long for over a year and a half.

Most shadowpriests just plain suck. It's still a class that relies heavily on skill, knowing your class etc... less then back in WotLK but still.
If you're unfamiliar with a shadowpriest's rotation, you'll underperform massively. Managing your shadow orbs badly results in a massive loss of damage.
They do have pretty amazing burst damage (if well played, more than mages) and maintained dps is also really good.
If you want to give a shadowpriest a try and are willing to learn to play them as they should be played, I can guarantee you'll like it.
Shadowpriests are really gear dependant, and with the massive stats from MoP gear, that's just a perfect recipe for an amazing twink.
My main is a shadowpriest and has been since it became viable (early WotLK), so I know what I'm talking about there.

DK Twink (80 / 85 / 101)
I've moved the 85 Simcraft posts to a new thread since it was creating some valuable discussion. Lets keep this one focused on 80s.

Hey guys got some questions!
Is the way of twinking side, i'm forced to go horde?
Currently i've gotten a 80 dk which i've felt in love with. but there's 2h ques and when it finally pops, i get ally members with 20k hp non twinks, while horde always got those 190k priest twinks well almost any class will have 180k+
I can kill 84 pretty easily, but if they're healed its dead impossible.
Another question i wanna make a healer twink aswell.
Druid vs shaman vs priest...
My main char has always been priest so i know them inside out!
But shamans seems very strong, so does druids i find their hots is almost impossible to break in 1v1 encounter.
Whats you opionion on healer twink? Saw a 82 twink pala with 200k hp and was critting his denounces for about 40-50k :S so even those might be good, since they can dish out damage aswell..
Feel free to answer here and/or PM.
I did pm aleobin for some advices but he refuse to answer so i'll just post
edit: I will lock at 80, im not a 82/84 scrub

Shamans are good overall as healer, and stand a good chance against 84s aswell since the totmes do most of the work.
Priests have their shields, but if you face more than 1 good gear twink i dont think it will work out that well.
Druids have their insane ticking hots and barkskin makes them near impossible to kill.Dont see many Resto Druids around, but im sure they can compete with Resto Shamans.
But I would choose Resto Shaman to be the best healer...
But thats my opinion, im sure some will say priests or druids to be the best.

Oops, sorry about that. I read your message a while ago but then forgot to respond after it got pushed down by other messages in my inbox
I'll answer your soloing questions via PM and hopefully someone else here can give you advice about gearing for PvP since I haven't PvPed in a long time

I made an 80 DK and I'm about 3/4ths of the way getting all the MoP BoEs, hoping to solo PVE content. But I'm wondering if a mage or paladin would be better.
I really want to farm stuff that you aren't able to solo as a 90. I mean, I know there's fun in the challenge of killing stuff as an 80 and building a twink, but if I can do the content on a 90 faster, why spend tens of thousands of gold twinking? For instance, I saw d07.RiV's mage solo of Sarth 25 + 3D.
Are there still encounters that are doable by twinks that aren't killable as a 90 due to scaling?

Which and with what class? I have a fairly well geared (498 avg ilvl) feral druid, but I still don't think I could solo a majority of the old raid bosses.
