It is very important to understand the PvP strengths and weaknesses of any classes. We here mainly talk about Shaman and Priest classes. For Shaman, it is even more so since your class has changed significantly from the early days of Wow. For Priest, knowing fundamental PvP strengths and weaknesses is the first secret to success in PvP combat. So let's discuss Shaman's and Priest's strengths and weaknesses.
First of all, we talk about the Shaman's strengths and weaknesses.
The Shaman used to be one of the most powerful PvP classes. This is no longer the case, but that doesn't mean you can't do very well in PvP combat using a Shaman. You just need to be smart about it. Your strength is surely your totems. They can buff you; harm your enemies, and much more, giving you a unique style of play and some powerful advantages.
Beyond the totems, your Paladin can wear mail armor and use a shield, as well as heal when you're injured. The combination can make you very hard to kill. Chooseing your talents and gear wisely, you'll be able to hold your own out there.
But your Shaman has some potentially fatal weaknesses. You lack any form of CC, meaning that you can't easily disengage from an enemy once the fight begins. Additionally, most of your attacks are short range. This means that ranged fighters like Hunters and Mages can pound you from outside your range, and do serious damage before you can get close enough to hit back.
This has been only a quick overview of the PvP strengths and weaknesses of your Shaman. It is a lot tougher to play this class than it used to be but that does not have to stop you. With a good Wow PvP guide in hand, you will get specific advice on talent builds, gear selection and tactics to maximize your strengths and minimize your weaknesses when fighting every class of player.
Then we will tell of the Priest's strengths and weaknesses.
The large amount of mana at command is your Priest's greatest strength in PvP. With it, you can deal high levels of damage to your opponent, while still having plenty of juice left to heal yourself. You also have solid anti-magic abilities, nasty fear attacks, and of course your ability to cast your spells at a distance.
The key to success in PvP is power attacks, which make focusing on the Shadow branch of your talent tree important for defeating other players. Spells like Shadow Word: Pain, Mind Blast, and Mind Flay are potent offensive weapons you will need to master. When well-designed and well-played, a Shadow Priest can be a formidable foe.
Close-in combat is your Priest's biggest weakness. If an enemy closes to melee range, your death is only seconds away. After all, your Priest is physically unimposing, and has only cloth for protection against weapons and claws. Fortunately for you, when in Shadow form, you are less vulnerable to melee damage. Unfortunately for you, you can't heal when you are in that form, so it's hard for you to recover from any damage you take. You'll need to become skilled at changing between your fighting mode and your healing mode while in the middle of a chaotic battle in order to get the best from your Priest.
This has also been only a quick overview of the PvP strengths and weaknesses of your Priest. Priests find PvP combat to be challenging and you'll need to know more than the basics to succeed. A top-notch PvP guide gives you far more information, including specific advice on talent builds, gear selection, taking advantage of your strengths and compensating for your weaknesses.
