If one was to look at DPS charts from back in the Vanilla days, he would clearly see that they are very Brown at the top. This section is divided into several categories to help flash out the strengths and weaknesses of all 9 Classes. Tier 3 - Below average choices that will put you at a considerable disadvantage, at least in a given category.
These will get the job done, nothing more, nothing less. Tier 1 - Above average choices that should provide you with a noticeable edge over an "average" pick.The S Tier - Undeniably the best in a given category, often approaching "overpowered" territory.To make things clear and more casual, here are loose Tier descriptions: Choosing perfect Professions is somewhat simpler, as there are much fewer things to consider, but it can still cause some confusion, so we have decided to cover Professions as well.
This is why we have come up with a range of Tier Lists that will help you compare all nine Classes and choose one best suited for you.
The uniqueness of Classes is what makes Classic great, but also rather unbalanced in terms of Class viability. This is because every Class in WoW Classic has its niche and a range of unique traits/abilities (unlike in the current version of WoW, where Classes are streamlined and it seems that every one of them can do almost everything with comparable efficiency). Classes, Specializations, and Professions BreakdownĬhoosing a Class is a difficult task, even more so if you realize that there is no such thing as "universally best" choice.
