Nostalrius Begins - Quality wow vanilla realm (1.12)

Which is better in solo world pvp?

Which is better in small scale pvp?

Which has the least counters, which is more fun, etc.


Horde side.


What is your opinion?

Shadow priest.

Shadow Priest (especially UD) basically shits on anything 1v1
Rogue CAN win any 1v1 as well but Shadow Priests and Hunters are a difficult fight

Shadow Priest is however a bit gimmicky, and Rogue has much higher value in group play

what about 2v2?

Depends on the comp. Who the Rogue is partnered with and who they are against. Tere's no arena though so 2v2s are rare.

But in general, I would think that if the Rogue team gets the opening, the combo of sap/blind basically turn it into a 2v1 which is pretty useful.

They're both strong classes in Vanilla. However they play super differently. You're unlikely to find both fun. Personally, I think they're both boring.

I'd honestly suggest rogue for what you want. They're more versatile than shadow priests, don't have mana problems in BGs & if you ever wanna PvE, you have a better shot at a spot.
Spriests are a niche 1v1 duelist class.

Id say rogue unless you get frustrated by lag ( i can consistently shift into bear between cs and kidneyshot on this server due to the delay unless the rogue kidneys half a second early to force a trinket)
If you really want spriest however, id strongly recommend dwarf if you want teamplay. Although spriest has a lowish skillcap, stoneform and fearward bump it up a bit and give better teamwork options.
