are pally's better then shammy's in PVP?

lol i dunno check google

well... at the higher lvl 40-70.. its hard to kill a pally..they put a sheild around them and heal back to full life but shammys are also good so idk

  The thing that makes a class "better" in WSG is its ability not just to kill, but to control the movement of the game. WSG is basically a race. The faster you can move the better your odds of winning are.  That in mind, Shaman hands down are better for WSG than Paladins. A good shaman will slow flag carrier pursuit with earthbind and frostshock. A resto shaman can also use natures swiftness to toss in an instant cast heal on the FC. While Paladins can stun a player, they can't stun the entire field or have any other sort of aoe movement inhibition.
So long as a shaman can keep himself away from being caught between the FC and his persuit, a shaman can make all the difference in the world.... plus... Shaman don't get laughed at for hiding in a bubble while they heal themselves :P

but paladins have blessing of freedom which is also imba tbh.

shamans own lol check the name hint. i think shamans are better than pallys in bg.

depends how you play

Shaman - Ghost Wolf, Earthbind, Earthshield
Pally - Blessing of Freedom, 3x Invulnerability barrier.

Shaman are good against idiots, Pallies better against non-idiots.

Good Heavens, get a druid to run the flag!

it depends what kind a pally are u.. b/c if your retribution pally your only good on D for the flag, cuaze if someone try to git the flag u can just stun him for 6sec if your level 70 and use crusader strike and if your lucky and can crit holy dammage for at lest 1800 and white dammage is 1900+ thats about like 3k+ dammage..and if he try 2 run, u can use repetance so he cant move and thats anothr 6sec. and u have enough time to call out your teamets.

pally and druid are an unstoppable force for getting the flag. add a disc priest to the mix and even the best premade are going to seriously struggle to stop the flag getting back to base. cause the pally gives bof and heals like crazy the the druid gos bear form till hes in the clear to run away the preist provides more imba heals while giving pain suppresion and sheilds (can fear aswell).so to answer this question for the second time is pallys are way better than shammys not for heals but for blessing of freedom.

enhance sham > pallys

ill try to help as much as possible. (sorry if it sounds like i lean more towards shaman but i have higher shaman then i do paladin.)


pally,  if u are to go holy, u might as well make a lvl one and duel a lvl 70. go protection and u are startin out good, with a shield and devotion aura i will have near 15,000 armor, hard for them to kill u with a better bubble :). if u go retribution, u should try to stay in battle as u will be able to dish it out but not take the damage u dealin.

shaman,  if u are to go elemental, then wait till little higher lvls as u will have more fun then u wil in lower lvl. (try to go 30 bg's). if u are to go enhancemant then u will have fun in any bg as u can dish out damage, take more hits, and even get bonuses to mana and ur shock spells. if u go healing tree (sorry forgot the name) then u will have some very nice heals as u can instaheal with natures swiftness.

all around i think that there are 2 main reasons to think there different.

1. u only play ally or horde. not a problem with BC

2. weather u like to dish more damage with spells and hand to hand, or do little less damage and take more hits.

                  Good luck with ur choosing

pallies are more like players that dont want to die easy
while shamans can difenitely slow the enemies down and get them piss out of their mminds. then again it depends the way you choose your play style. you wanna be caster, melee or healing

but to answer your question.
IN MY OPINION :P

i think they are pretty even.
soo even that even with skill and gear its still gonna be a close fight.

I think shamen are easier to kill, u cant get slowed down more then that lol

I'll tell you this, I play in the 50-59 range a lot and I can take on pallys with decent success. Unless I'm going against someone who doesn't know how to use their class, I get torn apart by shamans. Maybe I just don't know how to fight them, but when I face a shaman I go in knowing I'm going to lose. However the 10 seconds they're distracted by me gives my team 10 seconds to fight one less shaman and wipe the rest of the forces the shaman's with.

I have a level 70 enchancement shaman, I kill almost every class except rogue, warlock and mage easily. Paladins no problem for me at least.

I think it is more a difference in difficulty of play. Shamans are better if played well, but are more difficult to play. Paladins are easier to play and still strong even if you suck or are just lazy. That's at least the way I see it. I'm too lazy to keep up with all the totems and stuff. I'd rather bubble and heal and support the shaman carrying my flag ;)

In my mind only enhance shaman are good at pvp. I have had many resto and ele shaman friends and the ele shaman are always targeted first and get CCed. Resto cant fight for crap lol. My enhance (lv 65) can do about 2k at the start of battle instantly. At lv 70 im expecting this to increase alot lol and in every BG im #1 for kills and damage. Paladins are................................................................................................. .............................................................................................well if they get 2 vs 1 they cant kill 1 person while enhance might be able to kill both lol.

shammy in wsg rule on D. I can slow the FC down with frost shock, earth bind totem and since i'm tauren I also got thunder stomp. unless they surge heavy they don't have a chance of getting the flag out of the base.
