Red melee discussion

I had a low level SK twink secret named for awhile in MM.

I was an awfal PvPer over all, I knew how to survive at best, but getting kills was hard.

In terms of an SK...I got kills as you literally had to cast your lifetap a few times, hit a few times then harm touch to get a YT, this probably got a little harder in the 60s but essentially the process would be the same.

SKs were a good grief class because of their utility, and their big scary harmtouch but overall playing an SK you should automatically get 1-2 YTs a day off the harmtouch+lifetouch combo alone.

There were no good Paladins but I always wondered what a sick geared Paladin could achieve. Hands down would flog an SK 1v1.

paladins suck until tantors

For me with limited hours I like how much easier it is to BIS in classic and that BIS vs limp rags isn't such a disparity.

+15 all stats +100hp items in all slots gets pretty nutso

I was the best ranger on server.

I think you probably need to have more details like you killed some dudes

[Ragnaros]

In velious I would say with triple attacks monk are the strongest I would say but skill honestly didn't matter once everyone started getting bows, you would have D list shitters just bow kiting everyone with their primal or ToV bows instead of the traditional melee.
In Kunark I still think the order goes Monk > Rogue > Warrior with rogue being the hardest to play or having the higher skill gap. Monk has the most utility and survivability ( mend, avoidance, regen if iksar) and its pretty easy to land normal rounds, Rogue is good if you are skilled at melee and landing backstabs and you can really set your self apart of the crowd if you master sticking and jousting. I would say warrior is the easiest to play because you can just be a potato and just pop precision and nobody is going to target you.

Colgate hit it on the head when he said that SKs attract idiot players because of Harm Touch but I still think they are a pretty valuable class even in a mass pvp set up because of channeling ( dispel purposes) and being able to secure kills with taps / HT but besides Mirkuls and Beastagor I don't think there was anyone notable playing the class.

I wish more people played paladins but unfortunately the only successful paladin was probably brickhouse, I might try to play one on the next box because I really feel like you can be a pretty big difference maker if you are level headed and have good awareness in group pvp with the ability to pretty much be a cleric and have the ability to consistently interrupt casters, set up rez areas in mass pvp, MA, you could pretty much do a lot of roles as a paladin pretty easy if you aren't so strung up on doing damage.

[White_knight]

Oh yah I forgot about Brickhouse, he was the only notable Paladin for sure.

paladin suffers from the "it's okay but another rogue would just be better" syndrome

in PvE yeah, but a single, good paladin who prepares is insanely valuable in any group/mass pvp situation
