How to win in CTF

[lemekim]

In my experience druids and priests bring much more battleground utility in battlegrounds than I do. Yes I can stun on a 60 second cool down. I can BoP every five minutes. I can heal some (not efficiently) if not molested (a good rogue will keep me from getting a heal off on someone else unless I "n00b bubble"). Any more it seems the best thing I can bring to a battleground is cleanse of bad effects and heal the flag bearer along with someone else. I'd rather be in the thick of it truthfully.

Do not underestimate cleanse. Every shaman I know would trade their purge for cleanse in a heartbeat, simply because it's so much better in groups.

Eh and what a druid can do? Unless they are a flag carrier, there are few options for them. Ok, they can heal (albeit either slower or less efficient then even paladins), and... Maybe decurse once in a while. They can root, but that usually gets dispelled fast, and the target goes immune fast anyway.

On priests, fear can be quite useful as both defensive and offensive tool. Silence is useful, but most priests do not go that far down into Shadow tree. Most everything else takes too long or uses too much mana.

A paladin is an extremely good addition to any group - a plated healer/dispeler that cannot be Crowd-Controled reliably and can at the same time prevent any of his teammates from being Crowd-Controlled?

Yea, I understand that's not what you want to be, but it's their best role. Perhaps if you reroll a Shaman you will find what you like.
