Welcome to our World of Warcraft Classic Best Class Tier List, here we will rank the Best Classes to play in both PVP and PVE. First will be a general ranking of what class will do good in both settings, then for the PVE and PVP Class Tier List, we will include what Spec you should use. Keep in mind this is based on Classic WoW Patch 1.12.
World of Warcraft Classic Best Class
This is an overall WoW Classic Best Class Tier List Ranking, this will display the Best Classes In WoW Classic 1.12 Patch for both PVP and PVE. The specific PVE and PVP Tier List with Specs can be found below.
Tier List Rankings
- S Tier – (Best) Highest ranking Classes in our WoW Classic Tier List.
- A Tier – (Strong) Very strong class, but not on the same level as S Tier Choices.
- B Tier – (Good) Solid Choice and can be viable in the hands of a skilled player.
- C Tier – (Average) The middle of the pack neither good nor bad.
- D Tier – (Below Average) Slightly on the weaker side of an average pick.
- E Tier – (Weak) Underpowered choice and wouldn’t recommend unless you enjoy the class.
- F Tier – (Worst) The lowest ranking class in this WoW Classic Class Tier List.
In terms of what the World of Warcraft Classic Best Classes are, Warrior and Priest stand out almost instantly. This is partly due to the fact that Protection Warrior is the only viable Tank Class in WoW Vanilla Patch 1.12. Both the Proc Warrior and Priest are required for Raids and when combined in a PVP setting can be a fierce combo on the battlegrounds.
