Rolling a class for RBG

This isn’t a QQ thread btw, it’s simple facts.

I’m currently playing an UH DK but decided to reroll. Specifically I’m looking for a class that gets easily picked for RBGs. RBGs at the moment seem to be very comp dependent and despite having over 2K xp I’m finding it difficult to find groups as a DK.

I was hoping someone here with more knowledge could help me decide on a class that will usually get picked up for RBGs with little problems. I’m debating between Hunter or WW Monk at the moment.

Thanks in advance.

Hpala is always a need pick, because of its fc support, but ppl even play rbgs nowadays? I randomly check lfg and there is literally zero listed or queing if I make one. At least on horde.
Hunter is good this season, but in the past it wasnt a class you pick for rng. WW monk is broken beyond retarded atm, but once they nerf it, who knows what will be the meta.

You can reroll only if you have already a class to be the rerolled one at least with 190ilvl. If you want to reroll to ilvl170 alt, it will be behind for a long time so the reroll effect wont work too much unless you have 4 ppl to carry you because with low ilvl you will be unable to get anywhere to get any gear. And after some random nerf (dont expect ballancing nerf, this game is developed by bruh, so i say RANDOM nerf which will come from nowhere one day randomly hitting your new class) your rerolled class being lagging behind due to timegating will be lagging even more due to random nerf.

ww monk, disc priest and druid are overpowered to the part where its sad… so those classes always get taken into RBGs. but the nerf thing is a real factor u gotta consider… blizzard will mess up your plans no matter what :wink:

Its a FC - tank nowdays DH/druid with DPS respec or Ppal(tho it will be nerfed not a good choice). Tank almost always insta invited.

I mean it really depends. Do you just plan on pugging? Your DK could be really useful to a group that plays regularly if you’d be willing to target call.

Healers and rogues are what people are usually looking for, hpala seeming to be the most sought after. DPS wise, boomkin. They are very nasty at the moment.

I played 20+ games and have seen only 1 or 2 DKs. In good grps there is non TC - everyone know what to do, know basis, they used CC-s, they have kicks, DPS and other, they need only good RL, DK had a spot coz of utility, but nowdays games is about 1 shot anyone. People stacking moonkins, sub rogues, SP or locks. I have the same problem on DK, even in communitites i can’t find a spot. 90% LFG and communities searching for sub rogues and boomkin.

Yeah man same here. I’m levelling my Monk now. UH got nerfed too much because of PvErs

The only way to get invited is a FC-tank. People are mad and get srs business on low rated RBG.

100+ here this season. Grip is always going to be useful. The one shot scenario will not last forever, just waiting on Blizz pulling their finger out on that one.

And I disagree on good groups not having target callers. Maybe the multi glad teams play like that but for your average team, nah. People get way to invested in the wrong target sometimes and you need that TC to snap them back into the game.

Everybody wants boomkins. Trouble is finding people that play it decently. The amount of teams that have had double or triple boomkin and been terrible is amazing. Though I have came across the boost group a few times and been annihilated by three of them. :stuck_out_tongue:

Double rogue just seems the way to go right now. If you can throw a couple of boomies in there too, you’re laughing.

Happy so far with Shadowlands, people are actually queueing for RBGs again.

People oneshot me on 2k+ mmr, nothing can do. Spaming DS with DCD on doesn’t help - healers can’t up my HP when u tunneled hardly, just let you know. Meanwhile boomkin in bear form just facetank everytime everything when u swap on him. DK have srsly problems with survivability. TC can be warrior, SP, rogue and boomkin.

These are the classes on rbg ladder that are being played , your class is one of the worst for rated bgs.

But not the worst like mage.

Nobody wants to run rbgs with a mage.

I’ve seen fire mages on 2.2+. Might not be top tier, but a mage with combust can do some serious work in the right situations.

The thing is you dont want a mage on team fight.

A mage can ruin whole team fight on his own.

I invited a mage to rbgs , he went waterworks and spammed sheeps on people. Everytime balance druid and shadow priest dotted he used sheep.

Then we lost team fight. Because if mage uses random sheeps it dispels all dots ur team make and u become low damage.

Mage was always very bad on rated bgs. And they will always be the worst classes.

A lock is always better than mage on rated bgs.

Unstable affliction wont allow enemy healers using dispell.

Thanks for that. My monk is almost at max level now maybe I should roll a Druid or Rogue instead. I have to say playing Monk is really nice, the touch of karma, touch of death and defensive buffs are incredible compared to Dk

I’d say there is always room for a shaman or druid

This is best arena classes right now , you can get free rating. First 3 are healers , best dps is arms warrior.

This is a yolo-myth. Being best targetcaller isnt something that comes with class - Its something that comes with person.

Any class and role can target call, preferably a dps-player.

Another myth is having one tc, in a rbg environment there are usually multiple skirmishes going on at once, at least at some point, each will have equal need of targetcalling.

Its just a popular opinion, spread by people who dont want to targetcall themselves.

Every group invites a DK solely based on their grip. It’s easy to find RBGs as a DK but it also requires you to target call. I don’t think you have to reroll to find a spot

A good fire mage, sure. You dont use mages for cc’s anyway in teamfight. mainly beacause it removes dots, a druid using clone is far better.

Yes, but what mage wanna intentionally ruin a teamfight?

That just means he is bad and have no idea what he is doing, cant base all mages off on that guy.

Thats just wrong, during legion frost mages were insane in rbg beacause of the slow the provided. They are also very good flag defenders in base maps.
They were also quite good in bfa, for the very same reason.

They have 2 different roles in rbg, you might as well compare a arms warrior to a resto druid.
