Top Three Classes for PvP in World of Warcraft

When it comes to the World of Warcraft, an immensely popular MMOPRG for your PC, there is nothing like participating in the world of PvP. Whether you want to take part in arena tournaments between a few of opponents or want to participate in World PvP where you wander the country side in search of your next target, there are a few character classes that stand out from the rest.

Hunter
Imagine the mixture of surprise and frustration your opponent will feel when their health bar slowly ticks away while you take aim from a comfortable distance. This is the life of the hunter who is one of the top classes to play when it comes to the PvP experience.

The first misconception with the Hunter class is that if they are going to succeed it is dependent upon the use of their pet. When it comes to PvP in World of Warcraft, a hunter's pet is only responsible for a portion of the damage. In fact, it is a hunter's ranged weapons that will eventually be the reason for their opponent's demise.

The key to the success of a hunter in PvP is to use all the tools available to you, from your pet to your traps. If you are able to manage these, you will be able to find success against the majority of your opponents.

Hunters run into problems when they allow melee classes to get in close and take away the use of their ranged weapons. This is when a Hunter heavy in the Survival or Beast Mastery talent trees can shine.

If you enjoy taking on the role of the sniper, then the Hunter class is the perfect choice for your PvP adventures in World of Warcraft.

Mage
The PvP experience of a mage is one of the most rewarding yet frustrating of the classes in the World of Warcraft. There will be times when you can two shot your opponent followed by a quick death on your part.

What makes this one of the most successful classes in the PvP area of the World of Warcraft is the feasible of each of the talent trees; Fire, Arcane, and Frost. While each of these talent trees offers a different feel for the role of the mage, the builds are solid enough to keep you alive.

The problem you come across with this class is that your success is dependent upon your ability to blend with the group and not become the primary target. More often than not, your opponent will be looking for the cloth wearers, priests and mages, in the group. Since mages do not have the healing power of priests, your opponent will target you to help remove their opponent's damage dealer.

Rogue
Whether you participate in World PvP or coordinated battlegrounds, the rogue's job is to remain cloaked in the shadows as you stalk your opponents until the time is right.

A rogue is a formidable force when their cool downs are reset for your key talents like Cold Blood or Premeditation. They can spring from the shadows and do enough burst damage where your opponent will not know what hit them until it is too late.

The problem rogues run into is when they have exhausted talents and are left with their basic talents to keep them alive. This is the time when a rogue should travel on the fringes of the battle and pick off any of the stragglers or opponents whose health is less than 30%.

The choice for these top PvP classes for World of Warcraft is based upon personal experience and observations over the years. Ultimately the choice is based upon your personal playing style and where you feel most comfortable.
