Genja

[oscarthelizard]

Hi!



Some of you may remember me as Genja - the troll druid from WB. I disappeared for three months or so due to a family crisis and i appologise for the lack of warning given.



However, i am looking into returning to the twink scene and have some questions:



1) what is rogue damage like?

2) what is protection paladin damage like?

3) are there any classes that are needed in WB specifically? As i may decide to reroll

im thinking -affliction warlock

-restoration shaman

-or some kind of priest

Hello and welcome back! I can tell you what I know, you have missed a lot in the past three months!



First off, threads that you need to check up. To keep up with what you missed in the 39 bracket.

Warlock



Warlock are a support class in the 39 bracket. They are not good in duels or Arena. They are to squishy. Fear and seduction share dimenishing return which makes it harder for you to keep the target off you. But warlocks are very good support class in battleground because they can CC 2 targets at one time. But as I said earlier they can't handle the burst. Their dps is based on dots which is bad because of all the burst in this bracket. They do slow damage over time, and can't put down a healer. (not as we tried). So I wouldn't go a warlock if you intend to play duels and war games.



Protection paladin



They are a strong spec, Paladins is strong overall IMO. But lets keep it about protection. They have the armor of a tank and are near the damage of a dps. The avenger shield (silience) is the one thing that make them so good. It does good damage + silience the target! Which is very effective. They also have stun + lesser damage cool down. With the amount of health you get you will have a strong survival.



Resto druid



Same reason as warlocks but with heals. They have weak casting heals and their dots are not enough to keep up with the burst that is in this bracket. So resto druids are not good as healer alone, but as a support healer they are good. So go resto druid if you want to play in Battle Grounds and be a support class.



Resto shaman



I'm not sure about these classes but they seem to be good. If you want to know more about resto shamans you should talk to Playroom in Wreckin Balls.



Priest



I have only duelled a priest twice and both times I won as prot paladin. All I did was to survive until the priest would go oom. So I think priest are strong as healers. They have physic scream and mind control, which make them a good cc class. Other than that I don't know.



Remember, these are all my opinion and can be wrong.



I wish you luck and I hope to see you in the Sewer of Dalaran!

Great to have you back, hope the family problems have settled.

Whichever class you choose, WB has plenty of items left to support rerolls ;-)

1. Rogue Damge: They can do about 2.9k-3.2k damage in two hits with Ambush/Evis Combo. If you can survive their burst damage than you will most likely be able to beat them.

2. Prot DPS Paladins are hard to play. I've only played it twice in a BG and they can be good for locking down a healer, but they won't be able to beat a mobile mage easily. Ret would be the better choice for burst damage.

3. Affliction Locks are support classes only. Have a Felhunter out and keep one on a healer at all times for silencing them. DoT spam everything. Fear as much as possible, specificly target the enemies healers or anyone targeting your healers. They are squishy so you will need a 2850 Health minimum to survive long enough to DoT everyone.

4. Resto Shamans are very effective Healers. Sadly they just aren't as popular as a Disc Priest or Holy Paladin. Their strength lies with single targeting heals on the FC. When they are Healing people who have their earthshield, they will usually be able to keep them up through most burst damage unless silenced/stunned/etc. They are also incredibly valuable due to their Magma Totem, similar to a hunter's flare it can pull any stealther out of stealth. So Having a Resto Shaman on D can be very helpful in most situations.

5. Disc Priests and Shadow Priests are really good classes. Disc priests bubbles absorbs more damage than an AGM, very helpful. They usually can get over 400+ Spell Power by stacking Intellect. You'll still want to hit the 2850 health minimum with a disc priest. Shadow Priests however have a 15% reduced damage taken, so they can roll with less than 2850 health and still survive most burst dmg, they also have a powerful silence so make good use of that.

Ok. Great response. I will hopefully be on later this evening depending on how my internet is (downloading wow). Could a GM from WB come along and give me an invite?

 

[Shepperd]

I'll try to be on for a while, just give me a whisper on Shépperd.
