Which class is affected the least by a 400ms latency in PVP?

I have a poor internet condition here. My latency is like 400ms all the time. I know it would be difficult for me to really do PvP under this condition, but...

Which class is affected the least by a 400ms latency in PVP(arena, battleground, world pvp)?|||warlocks prolly|||Warlock, least twitch reflex requirement.|||Transfer to a server in the bloodlust battlegroup. Half the players have to deal with high latency because Blizzard can't be bothered hosting a server in Australia.|||Quote:

Any class that doesnt rely on being in melee range suffer the least.

Worst for high ping - rogue, warr etc

best for high ping - mage , lock, hunter etc

Although this is debatable. I ping around 80-110 and with my rogue still occasionally get the "you are out of range" when right on top of someone. With my warr its pretty bad simply because nothing is worse than a clutch charge and then you end up 10 feet from your target due to latency and they continue to kite you.

A few years ago I was pinging 300-400 and could only play casters because melee classes frustrated me being out of range when right near people.|||Quote:

How about healers?|||Prot pally imo :)|||Quote:

Healers are ok'ish, the reason i say this is that sure they are casters so they suffer less from having ot be in a 5yrd range, but there are times that people's health bars drop after the fact due to lag and this may mess ya up at times. Overall I think, and I am saying this with numerous 70's and having played with high ping in the past, that anything that doesnt rely on a 5yrd range is the best way to go. The absolute worst IMO is a dagger rogue, try being behind someone and within 5yrds, its a bitc*.
