OctoWow - Forums

It's not catastrophic but it's not good.
Some classes like warlock, mage, druid or rogue need to put effort and create setups to get a kill and survive a teamfights while classes like shaman or paladin just need to run into the melee, spam frostshock and 2-tap everyone or spam self dispell and use HoF then auto-attack the target to death.
As for Warriors I don't know if they will get better with gear but it's easily the saddest class to see, I feel more threatened by hunter pets than warriors. Warlocks also look miserable to play with the number of paladins in bgs.

Nah I was thinking it's some shaman or just horde player who does not play vs shamans.
Found out he is just an alliance lvl 45 rogue. He remembers the good old days when he was playing on TA with T3.5 geared rogue vs shamans.
I'll wait for him to lvl up here and to see what he can do in the current gear.

He never scratched my shaman on ta

Something is missing in Octowow that Turtle had. I was BG'ing for 5months as a mage and could manage staying alive quite well, not even with best gear. In Octo its IMPOSSIBLE, you get taken down sooo fast and EVERYONE knows it. You get targeted first always, and go down in seconds from shaman, boomkins, hunters, locks, shadow priests and palas..
Rogues and warrior are managable IF you get first strike - if they get draw first blood its a race even there.
