Season of Discovery is now underway in World of Warcraft Classic, offering many exploration opportunities, including classes, runes, and new builds. However, the crucial question for Phase 1 in SoD is: What is the best class to choose? Let's delve into the meta for all classes up to Level 25 and identify the most powerful ones.
S-Tier Classes in WoW SoD
Warrior Class
Warriors stand out as an consistently overpowered class in World of Warcraft. They are the most popular class for good reason, capable of functioning as tanks, dealing impressive damage, and posing a significant threat to enemies. Season of Discovery runes, particularly Devastate, can elevate them to true monsters.
Warlocks Class
Warlocks showcase remarkable power in WoW, making them a top contender for the best class in Phase 1. Their damage output and single-target performance shine in Season of Discovery, and their mana management is excellent. The ability to tank adds versatility, making them formidable in PvP with the right abilities and armor-enhancing runes.
Hunter Class
Despite undergoing nerfs, Hunters remain formidable in Season of Discovery. While not as overpowering as before, they are still an excellent choice for damage and boast one of the strongest solo leveling capabilities.
A-Tier Classes in WoW SoD
Rogue Class
Rogues excel with incredible survival abilities, making them a strong choice in WoW Classic. Their prowess in single-target damage, especially with the Ranged Slow ability, remains noteworthy. In Season of Discovery, Rogues gain the ability to tank, though this may not align with the preferences of most rogue mains.
Mage Class
Mages receive well-deserved attention in Season of Discovery, showcasing prowess in WoW Classic despite facing mana challenges. They offer versatility with both damage and healing, establishing them as a solid choice in Phase 1.
Paladin
In Season of Discovery, Paladins emerge as a decent class choice. They exhibit great AoE DPS and utility in WoW Classic, performing well in both single-target damage and showcasing a more versatile playstyle.
Druid Class
Druids have consistently been a solid class choice, boasting mana resilience that makes them formidable in combat. Hit-and-run playstyles suit them best.
B-Tier Classes in WoW SoD
Shaman Class
Shamans excel in DPS and healing, becoming particularly potent in the late game. While they are better post-level 25, they remain a decent class choice in WoW Classic, now even capable of tanking.
C-Tier Classes in WoW SoD
Priest Class
Priests encounter challenges in WoW Classic, mainly related to mana issues. Anticipated changes in the later stages of Season of Discovery may affect their standing, but it's too early to make definitive predictions.
