What is the best pvp class played solo at level 50.
Best at pvp means they can kill most other classes, not just outlast them.

In classic, i'm thinking shaman
as a shaman I can pretty much solo/outlast anyone 1 on 1. only class i have trouble with is skilled necros.

get a brain morans, necro will beat anyone 1v1 ez pz so ez
I dont know, my little cleric on beta thwarted many a necro,
although i never lvld him past 24, so maybe that would change.

well thats the strange thing about clerics. they are poorly equipped to fight anyone just about except necros. nearly all of clerics spells counteract what a necro does. Disease resistance / disease cure. Poison Resistance / poison Cure. Heal / nullify magic. they have root / fear also. and their spells with dealing with undead make a the necro pet a nuisance at best. a higher level paladin can also do some of these things but not as well as the cleric. the cleric prolly wont score a winning kill but as with most classes who attack a well played cleric they will most likely eventually flee or something to that effect.
people who say necro/druids/mages are the best pvp class what they really mean is they are the best class to score some kill with little or no skill. a well played hybrid would most likely be the best at nearly any level (maybe not before level 9) with a well played bard prolly being the ultimate pvp char. I dont play a bard so im not trying to boost em up or anything but if your smart/quick you can tailor your skills to any situation and send any class running!

Wizard. In a solo encounter they will hand you your ass with a full mana bar.

in the current iteration as far as resists and stuff, definitely sk. "classic", seems like it would be shaman.

this
although as a paladin the champ is confident of wrecking basically any other class 9/10 times if i got to choose the fighting location (which in pvp i always will)
edit: or if they are packing some certain op instaclickies which imo should be taken out, if this is the case i'd just heal and run

if that person with gear also has a higher skill than the person theyre fighting then they should win. if its you playing a geared druid against a naked necro youd probably still lose

Why is cleric not an option? It should be, because as a cleric... you'll never be solo :D

Before kunark, level 49-50 shaman were the most powerful PvP class in the game. Level 34: I suggest you stop leveling here. There may never be another mass-market RPG that is so PvP imbalanced ever again, so enjoy it now.

Again best gear player win everytime, even without skill and no a naked necro would not win, especially with resist system at this point.

you would not play naked, you would need would GMs to give you free lvls and Free gear first, so i guess you will never get past newbie zone without GMs help.I am very sure you will be griefed out of pvp the first week....noob

Pallys are very tough..stun, root, blind and can heal plus LoH. I always hated fighting them.

Paladins are just plain gay. You won't kill them and they won't kill you. Unless one of them is a baddieee.

Lol Mage is missing on the list. Epic thread

Paladin does get greater heal (same as dru/shm) by 50, pally also gets superior heal in the later 50s. Before chloroplast showed up, I'd say paladin ain't so bad..
Roll dorf => profit.

Really depends on the situation. Over 75% of solo pvp in eq is one guy running around and ganking people while they are not paying attention / otherwise not prepared for a fight. In this case, wizards kind of take the cake cause they can bring other caster's down in a few nukes. They can also use ports to search for popular area's pretty efficiently rather than running there.
In straight up 1 v 1, hard to argue against necro's and mages(not on list). Especially on this server where resists are kind of up in the air. Non resistable lifetaps and mage pets will be good.
Druids get a nod as well due to being able to track and port and use sow. They will simply track down and catch up to more targets. In straight up 1v1's... hard to tell at this point with resists still being worked on.

Depends on who you're fighting against + how well you're geared.
Newb 50 against Newb 50 = pick a caster (including clerics!). I would put Shaman/Necro/Wizard at the top of this pack (mages are very strong against some classes, but also counterable by others). Overall, those three are going to be getting the most kills and dying the least. Necros and Shamans are especially dependent on player skill too though. When played to full potential they are nasty. Wizards you can get by with less skill via dropping bombs on newbies + basic timing on stuns.
Geared 50 against Geared 50 = Shadow Knight. This gets a lot more complicated. Old world era Warriors are also an absolute pain to deal with indoors, once properly geared (read: Monsoon/Bladestorm, lots of MR, indicolite).

Level 49: E-bolt, poison 1130 dmg DOT, the shaman’s ice comet. Plague 1210 disease dmg DOT, the shaman’s slower ice comet. Stack em both, and you can drop a full health warrior. Before kunark, level 49-50 shaman were the most powerful PvP class in the game.

It's kind of an impossible question, I'm sure it's been answered already - but imo a shaman can just dispell necro dots, keep the pet parked and out heal the taps - a druid can do the same, a necro with pots can do the same to the sham. 1v1 arena style to the death no running maybe a necro? I don't fucking know - I would think the necro pet would beat the shaman pet, and eventually be the key to out lasting the shaman/druid. I don't think a melee would take it - maybe the bard.
In real pvp none of those classes will kill each other outdoors unless the other ones pretty bad or undergeared and can get cc'd. They will just gate after they get bored.

Let's not forget the Shaman may most likely land a slam or two and possibly interrupt a crucial cast to give themselves the go ahead advantage. If it's an Ogre/Troll shaman with Butcher Gloves and some decent gear, he can be 150 PR/DR easily. Shamans should be rolling with a full 15 buff set. I'm not sure just how well geared we're talking here, but if that Shaman has a Blight, I think the gap gets even larger.
Malosi, Ebolt, Insidious Malady, Plague. At 50 on my Shaman that's half of my mana, and would leave me enough for 4 DDs or heals.

I agree on Shaman for the most part (for reasons in my post).
You can theorycraft the shit out of anything and find X scenario where X class sucks, but *overall*, they are really strong at 49-50.
The good news is that most people playing shamans suck and don't know how to use their pet.
Shamans would be awesome to play if buffing wasn't such a pain in the ass. "Sorry, I forgot to click my spyglass - can you rebuff me with str/agi/dex/stam/sow/resist?"

Yeah same reason I'd rather play nec / wiz over druid / shaman.
I played a druid for 8 years on TZ did enough buffing and rebuffing for one life.
Time to change it up and play a class that doesn't buff much (ever).
