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!

ever heard of nuke - stun cast - nuke -stun cast - nuke -stun cast -melee down

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).
