Twinks - What class and what bracket?

[Suicider]

I'm currently planning to twink out my mage abit and so on, and thought it would be interesting to see what everyone thinks is the best twink for what bracket and why they think that.. Maybe also give me a few pointers for future project(s).

Anyway, I suppose I'll start.
10-19: Rogues, no challenger.
20-29: Still rogues, challenged by pala's.
30-39: Shamans, locks.
40-49: S-Priests, BM Hunters (NURF)
50-59: Mages? Only class I've PvP'd in this bracket with is my level 55 druid who gets his rear handed to him..

uh...non twink hunters own Rogues in every bracket. your 1500hp lvl 19 rogue will get crushed by a lvl 12 hunter if he survives the first assault.

frost mages can do serious damage at 29...+250frost dmg and iceshards+shater = consistent 800+frostbolt crits.

the 39-49 brackets are dominated by locks/shadowpriests. they demolish 49 bracket...+300-400fire dmg warlocks crit 2k-5k soulfires....depending on buffs etc.

Priests is the 19 bracket is nothing to laugh about, they will just outlast you.

I disagree completely, hunters are easily the hardest class to take out for pretty much every class in the 19 bracket, and same for the 29 bracket, where they seem even more OPed than before. 39, locks without a doubt, and 49, locks and shadow priests.

[klutch]

if someone knows how to play a hunter well, they are top or top 2 in every bracket.

agreed, same with 19 druids.

19 druid in bearform with 2500hp and 40%damage reduction and decent dodge is nothing to laugh at. to bad they dont do any damage what so ever or they'd be more fun to play.

19 bracket. huntard clearly.

im #1 in DMG DONE and HKS every time i go wsg. with 2003 hp i cant get killed :) i have never lost a duel to a lvl 19 twink, i even killed a few rogue/warrior 29 twinks
i dont know about other brackets

[owlx]

huntard clearly.




Ah man now i have to reroll my 29 hunter. Huntard is a sweet name

[waltorly]

I just kinda shifts from hunters at lower level, to locks at higher level. But it really all depends on the player to be honest.

[pincopiones]

Rogues beats huntars so easy. I hate twink but if some day i had time and bored and want to piss twinks i will roll a twink frost mage. = ]

A well played hunter will mess up a rogue so bad it's not even funny.. Though, those are rare.

[Amurko]

My lvl 59 twink hunter eats most twink mages like free HK.. unless they have ridiculous stamina.

True, and true. Yeah, I went up against a non twinked hunter (could tell by how his life dropped after the initial ambush) with my twink rogue, and he was GOOD... he had the jump/turn shots down and after the intial ambush, i couldn't even get to him, despite escape artist, evasion, and even sprint. a well played hunter will tear a rogue a new one very easily in the 19 bracket. But again... a well played hunter is very rare.. I have had a few try to out melee me.. :ponder:

The thing to realise is that not all classes are equal. Whilst some will have an early lead on others, they all catch up. If you seriously go through it and think about it you will see at each bracket the pure ownage of one class dilutes and more spring up as viable top spot takers.

At first its Rogues and Hunters, because they are easy to kill people, and easiest to twink. Then as you go along mages, shaman, warlocks and druids come into some power. Priests slowly morph from healme to god there is a priest on me, heal me! And finally when itemisation come through Warriors start carving it up. Paladins are likewise difficult to cater for but not as hard, a good hard weapon and decent mana pool and it just wont matter because you outlast their damage.

By the end of it you will find yourself nearing 70 at which point you then look at which spec beats which spec which beats the spec that beats me.

Want solid performers from 1 through to 70, Hunter, Warlock, Rogue, Paladin. They all can be opponents to fear from 19 though to 70 The closer to 70 you go the more even the playing field becomes. Sure Druids seem to rape everybody. And Warlocks seem like they kill everything but druids and rogues. But its just skill and loot that makes em that good.

A good warlock can beat a bad rogue, a bad druid can be raped by a good mage. The worst hunter can be killed by anyone.

Rogues are generally good because the get good positioning and plan their kills out with quick out of the blue high damage and poisons to slow the opponents down.

Hunters can kite most of the classes and are range class that can fire on the run. This makes them very effective where the melee die out.

Warlocks can dot everyone with that much damage over time to make a wall of forum trolls quiver at the numbers being flooded in. Not to mention their crowd control abilities and the fact they have pets with very good abilities. They are not your average 2 hit cloth kill, and at 49 and 59 they can out nuke mages in some cases.

Paladins. From day 1 you have bubble heal and LoH. Blessing of Freedom comes in a bit after. The fact your also in mail/plate and can self heal makes you a target for longest kill ever. You'll be ignored or will outlast your competition.

Why not the others?

Priests do well in the 19 BG to outlast but they dont have the firepower to own hard. Once they get shadowform they sacrifice heals for damage. They do well on damage but will be cut down faster too. Of course they get better with time so Higher level Priests become more dangerous.

Mages can do well but the fact is that they are limited to cast time spells for their good damage, and they are best used for AoE damage which simply in most battlegrounds does not happen. Their best BG was AV and now blizzard have made that into a farce of a game. Like the Priest they get better and better each level.

Shaman. This truly depends on their level and their spec. At first Enhancement seems like a great way to annihilate the competition, but then you find that its not as great as it used to be, with the benefits lost against most from 39-59 elemental becomes quite a fantastic way to increase the odds. Fast casting damage from aware, kiting and healing. After 60 it depends on your gear. I personally think Shaman are better off as casters so long as your gear is of high standard. Of course a poorly geared shaman wont be doing much for enhancement either.

Druids. Arent they the king of 70 Game Play now. They outkill Rogues, they can take out warlocks with ease. Heck they can tank as well as Warriors and dont talk about heals too. They dont really own until 39. After that they become better and better. And from 60 to 70 it becomes even better with itemisation and and new abilities. They are perfect for the 39-70 Battlegrounds type like many other classes.

Warriors. If you are not twinked with the best gear, not geared with the baddest assed weapon and all the freaky enchants you can get then you are what people call free HK's. Of course when your geared up, especially at 60-70 you can steamroll over opponents and ask for more. Itemization is how they play, so you shouldnt seriously think about Warrior twinks at low levels unless you plan to give them 1000g worth of enchants and items.

Once you reach 39-40, your going to see the game begin to even out for some classes, some specs like the destro lock wont hit pay-dirt till 49. By 60 every class is viable to take down 5 or more other classes if you play your cards right. At 70 expect at least 2-3 classes to have you on farm status and expect to have similiarly your own farming of others. Its paper-rock-scissors.

Pre-66 its Paper-Scissor-Rock < Warlock
