most powerful class for duel

[Skoobydoo]

If we will look at ladder from other servers, we will see dks, locks and priests at the top of 1x1 0-10-20 places. Maybe 1 pally at the bottom of that list.

Which servers have 1v1 ladder?

DK all the way, most rounded class, there no real anticlass.
Pally too easy to counter at open space by all ranged classes.

all theese people saying ret pala, aight lets look at ranked 1v1 leaderboard on an actual competetive pvp server (not this one) <2200-2600> mmr rank 1 hybrid dk,r2 destrolock with ns trinket and key, (not to mention almost every class uses ns+key combo most of the time
afterwards there arepriests ferals and usual pala
top classes in years proved on that server are - DK -> lock -> feral -> spriest -> pala/mage/hunt, last place being rogue and shaman cuz thoose 2 classes are useless lol
wotlk 1v1s are rock paper scizzors that is
pala looses to ele, spries, any mage (someone said thatu can win with pala against frost mages, omegalul, its literal 99-1, u cant win against frost mage if he knows what hes doing, ive seen r1 mages killing 2500ratings with furious gears. u can try going hybrid pala (which i havent seen yet in this server).. also locks, u can go afk if its a geared lock. though retris beat rogs (u should uninstall if u loose as retri vs rog, i dont think if ur playing meta build and have 1800 brain u can loose to any rogue. somewhat dks, its been known that pala kinda counters dk,but its a looong match if the dk is meta (that is hybrid for 1s), warrs (lul warrs) and 50/50 ferals (hard matchup but winable if u have good ms (u can spam sap during instant cyclone and can catch him up sometimes) hunts( just los and reset).

Duels and 1v1 arena are two completely different things.
Duels usually happen on the open field with no object to hide while 1v1 arena is a pillar humping match.

Ele shamis for example are rather weak in duels but in a pillar humping match ele shami with FB imbue turns into one of the best specs.

[slaxman]

Ok, we need to divide that 2 category, duels(open flag zone without pillars) and 1x1 arena(with pillars).

But we are talking about warmane, aren't we? Not some buggy random russian server.

This apply to warmane server too, in most cases dk/lock > all
as a dk i can do tons of mistakes and still win vs everyone
while playing mage/shaman/rogue I need perfectly timed CC to win against dk

Everyone who partakes in this activity uses all the cheesiest items/spec to last the longest. They use corroded skeleton key, bauble, free action potions, stun grenades, rocket boots and more. So DKs and Rets can sit around smacking each other til the rest of time without ever dying. Meanwhile all a frost mage has to do is make you use all your cooldowns til he can permanently kite you.

Blood elf silence or draenei Gift of the Naaru will not help? I mean, human with two pve trinkets will stay in novas half time of duels, that is not helpful.

Trinkets like Skeleton Key or Bauble will help you way more then Naaru or Belf silence.

Forgot to mention enh shaman being a beast in 1v1 environment.

It basically counters any caster and deals great vs dk (well vs hybrid still a hard deal), ret and every other more common spec in 1v1.

Reason why enh is not as often seen on higher ranks is because the amount of players that actually can play enh / knows how to counter certain classes multiplied with the amount of good enhancements actually willing to play 1v1 equals a number that can be count on one hand.
