well I can tell you now that 1v1 DoK and WP is not going to go anywhere....ever! if they are evenly matched in level and gear that is. I have been in 1 on 1 fights with equal geared/level DoK's on WP and it was a stalemate with no sign of letting up. After about 5-8 minutes of beating on each other we decided to both bow and go our merry way. The balance between the two is too perfect lol.

Who is more the troll? The troll or those who feed them?

I'd say your DoK vs WP isn't so much "the balance is perfect."  Instead, its' just that the healing capacity of both classes is greater than their capacity to damage.

There's been surprisingly few Chosen in scenarios I've been in.  They're pretty tanky, but I'm not sure there's any nastier than, say, an Ironbreaker.

DoK was my second favorite class in beta.  Have never played a healer class like it in any other game.  I love the design.  It's cool having to beat up on people in order to keep healing.  Forces you right into the action.  Didn't get to pvp very much because it was last class I tried but they are unbelievable in PvE.  I could take on mobs of 5-6 without any difficulty and solo kill champions with ease.  When running around the tier 1 RvR area I came across a lone white lion and he went down fast 1 vs 1.

Speaking from the point of vew of a healer/dps (playing shaman) its the ranged dpsers that tear me to shreds.  The amount of times I've come up against a wall of witch hunters and been blasted limb from limb.

I'm not sure what the tank situation is like on other servers but destro is missing 'em on my realm.  You feel so squishy when dps can freely run upto you and start bashing away.  The one or two that are present seem to get mistaken with WoW warriors - just charging in without any form of back up.  But anywho, I digress.

But yeah my vote goes to witch-hunter for most feared class in senarios.

You guys aren't catching what Havoc means.  He is not talking about Dok vs WP.  He means overall in a 1 on 1 battle, a Warrior Priest or DoK will beat any other class.

In scenerio / group PvP Chosen are ridiculously powerful.  I think they are overpowered in all aspects of PvP.  Give them a 2 handed weapon and they will 3 -4 hit kill anything that is not a tank.

My dog ate your homework.

Dunno, I eat Chosen for breakfast with my Swordmaster 1v1... and I can hold off a bunch of them in a chokepoint if I got some kind of a healer behind me.  But it is a matter of player skill as well - a very good player has a chance against me. Anyway I got that impression that I do have an edge with SM against Chosen.

Goblin Shamen, on the other hand, are seriously overpowered. Nerf those green buggers! (joking ofc, its a rock-paper-scissors thing as intented)

Did fine against DoK with my swordmaster.  

 

They are hard to kill but past that meh.  If I went with the Hoeth path silence and the Khaine path AP sapping pretty sure I would kill em nice and fine with a 2hander espeically with dazzling strike extra build times.

 

Or laster on one the classes that makes healing get 50% reduced or damages you whenever you cast a spell.

 

Anyway anyone can be killed in WAR.

Ironbreakers defintely can hold ground than a Chosen hands down
But you will be supprised that in all the scenatiors that Destruction won in the top 5 kills was made by atleast 3 chosen always
I have a chosen and most of the time I have ended up in the top 3.
Instead of shield we can switch for a double handed axe or sword thats puts down good damage
Pain in the a** is to see the Dwarfs in opposite grp Damn they can hold and heal like crazy.

Witch Hunters, WP and Bright Wizard are squishy targets and easy kills.My favourite classes to wack.
