Post by i***@gmail.comMy vote would have to go with Warriors. They can't kill ANYTHING by
themselves. Sure, if they have a healbot following them around then
they'd be Gods, but then with one who isn't? The second worst would be
Shamans I guess.

Old, but it's still awesome.
I would have to disagree. I levelled my warrior to 60 on a pvp realm. I was
attacked often and attacked all non-gray-to-me horde whenever I saw them. I
advanced to pvp rank 7 without going into battlegrounds. I never had much
trouble winning most 1v1 fights vs equally geared and close-level opponents,
even with average level of gear. It's all about knowing the class skills and
when/how to use them. Overpower/mortal strike are godly in pvp with the
right talents, overpower almost always crits. Also, a one-button mashable
hotkey macro to toggle zerk stance and intercept. Another one-button hotkey
that does a cast sequence (ie cast one spell each press, in order as
specified) to equip your 1-hander and shield, do a shield bash (doable in
battle stance) for interrupting casting, followed by re-equipping your
two-hander.
My favourite trick was to charge out of nowhere to engage the foe. My
warrior is a night elf so I would shadowmeld and wait for the enemy to come
within range, they certainly don't expect a *warrior* to pop up outta
nowhere and attack them...obviously on a pvp realm *always* keep player
names on. You'll see the red text of their name long before you see their
toon most times. And the pvp'er who gets the opening move has the advantage
in most fights.
The only class I had problems defeating in solo world pvp was mages, but of
course they have quite the advantage over warriors. Well-played warlocks
could be tricky also, which is why you make another hotkey, that toggles
zerk stance and then casts your immune to fear ability (forget off the top
of my head what it's called). And of course, if a hunter gets the drop on
you, good luck...but hunters have it made against any class if they get the
drop on you.
Main thing I've learned about world pvp, from playing most of my 2+ years in
the game on a pvp realm, is it's all about how fast you can activate <insert
ability here>. Hotkeying those crucial skills, knowing by touch where the
hotkey is, and writing macros to quickly accomplish tasks like what I
described above (which if you tried to click all the abilities separately
would take ridiculously long). The warrior who can spam overpower the
instant it becomes available, execute the instant it becomes available,
instantly do a zerkstance+intercept, sword/board+shieldbash, is the one who
will have the advantage.
Step one of pvp is knowing what abilities on your class counter what on the
target, and when to use them. The other key is, as I wrote above, hotkeys
hotkeys hotkeys to make doing those 'things' easy. If you have to move your
mouse and click on an ability, you're gonna be far too slow in reacting.
I think the worst class to solo pvp with would probably be a holy priest.
Shadow priests pwn face in pvp, but holy...well I dunno. But every class has
it's pvp advantages and abilities, it's all about learning what they are.
Playing every class to at least level 30/40 would also help a ton, as you'll
understand then the bulk of their abilities.
