PvP overall
Battlegrounds and world PvP. No arena and no rated ladder. One letter per spec for the job it actually does: flag, node, healer, or kill.
ProjectionUpdated 2026-10-01
S
Feral Combat DruidThe spec file's PvP call is the flag: cat burst, bear when you have to stand on it.
Frost MageThe battleground mage. Slows, freezes, Ice Barrier. Not a meter spec, a flag-stopper.
Arms WarriorMortal Strike's 50% healing cut. The spec file calls this the Warrior's PvP kit.
A
Subtlety RogueOpener and reset. Public lists stop at B; the kit still wins the first five seconds.- Assassination RogueKidney Shot plus poisons that resist dispel. The healer-killer, not the flag runner.
Affliction WarlockDoTs that keep working when you are crowd-controlled. Fear is still a battleground button.
Beast Mastery HunterPet, a stun the other Hunter trees lack, and range. Holds a node without standing on it.
Survival HunterMelee Hunter with traps and Strider Kick. High ceiling, and it has to connect.
Shadow PriestSilence, Blackout, and a 50% Mind Flay slow if you refuse the damage talent.
Discipline PriestPower Word: Shield and Penance. The healer who buys a cast, not the one who tops a raid.
Elemental ShamanLava Burst and shocks. Weak before the deep talents, a real caster once they exist.
Protection PaladinJudgement taunts with Seal of Fury. A node tank with a blessing, not a chaser.
Protection WarriorConcussion Blow, Shield Slam, Charge in Defensive Stance. Holds the flag room.
Arcane MageBest-rated mage for damage. Frost still does the peeling. Arcane is the burst window.
B
Fury WarriorDeath Wish and Piercing Howl, no healing cut. Play Arms if the healer is the problem.
Combat RogueSprint and Riposte. Fine when you cannot restealth. Subtlety opens better.
Retribution PaladinHoly Strike and a Seal twist. Damage with a cleanse, not a dedicated killer.
Holy PaladinDeepest buff kit and single-target heals. A node healer, not a chaser.
Enhancement ShamanStormstrike melee with a purge and an interrupt. Totems die when the fight moves.
Restoration ShamanRiptide and Earth Shock. Instant Ghost Wolf is the reposition. Totems still have to live.
Destruction WarlockHard casts. Strong if they let you plant. Affliction wins the moment you have to move.
Marksmanship HunterAimed Shot burst. Loses the pet tools Beast Mastery brings to a node fight.- Holy PriestPrayer of Mending on a node. No blink. Discipline is the Priest you want focused.
Restoration DruidHoTs and Wild Growth, no absorb, and a thinner dispel kit than the Shaman.
Fire MageIgnite and Blast Wave stuns. Glass, and Frost already owns the control job.
C
Balance DruidThe spec file says druids cannot snare, silence or interrupt. That is a battleground problem.
Demonology WarlockPet variance. The spec file calls the ranking split and untested past the mid-30s.
