Classes ranked by Customization

This list is subjective of course, feel free to add to or question it. Just my opinions and observations.

Hunter - S-tier

Available to every race in the game. Able to use every weapon type except maces and wands. One of the most popular classes- almost always in the top 3 played, at least. Pets classes are something most people seem to enjoy, and Hunters currently have access to 1,932 different pet appearances (and counting) at the moment. They are also the only class to use Guns, Bows, and Crossbows, which lends to further uniqueness. A few legendary weapons here and there. No weapon illusions, however.

All Plate Classes: Paladin, Warrior, Death Knight - A-tier

Available to every race except for Paladin, and they all have very solid, if not the best tier sets consistently. Also being able to use most Legendary-quality weapons, from the earlier expansions, 2-handers are some of the best cosmetics WoW has to offer. Each class can use weapon illusions, with DKs having some of their own unique ones, and Paladins and Warriors can use Shields. DKs also have further customization options with various minions and undead they can alter through glyphs and talents.

Shaman, Monk, Warlock, Druid - B-tier

Warlock and Monk available to all races, with Druid and Shaman being a lot more specific. Warlock (pets) and Druid (forms) have access to unique barber shop customization options, with some very cool choices. Shaman and Monk have access to special weapon illusions and glyphs that chance the colors of certain attacks, and Shamans’ Ghost Wolf. Warlock also has the green fire questline. There are a handful of Legendries than can be used by these classes. Each of these classes also has some very distinct looking tier sets. Monks can also hide their weapons completely, and use their fists. The only downside, is that Druids will likely be seeing their bestial forms a lot more often than their humanoid ones.

Priest, Mage - C-tier

They are available for every race, but fairly standard when it comes to customization. Some very solid tier sets. Some decent glyphs, and books for Mages that change the appearance of the Polymorph spell. The lack of cool transformations and pet customization puts them a step below the other spellcasters, however. They can use just about as many legendries as the B-tiers. Robes are limiting, though.

Demon Hunter, Evoker - D-tier

DHs can only be elves, and specifically Nelves & Belves. Evokers are locked to their own new, specific race (Dracthyr), which is basically a Blood Elf/Dragon hybrid. While Evokers and their visage forms easily have the most customization when it comes to race, this is countered by the fact they can only display their shoulders and belt, and cannot wear helmets nor anything else. DHs do have access to Warglaives as a transmog, and Evokers have a legendary of their own. Both have some very intense spell effects. They would be higher, but are held back by the races that can play them.

Rogue - F-tier

Available to every race, as of recently. Rarely ever in WoW has a class actually lost customization options, but here we are lol. Back in the day, in the three earliest versions of WoW, Rogues could use ranged weapons, the same as hunters, but also could use thrown weapons- this included throwing axes and knives, shuriken/ninja stars, and the like. Now, all of that is removed, and they use a generic pirate-themed pistol, and static thrown weapons and their ranged abilities. Rogues are also very generic when it comes to how their visuals are, and unfortunately very little has changed with them over the years. I honestly think they are consistently the least popular class in WoW, in the current era. Two specs, Assassination and Subtlety are also limited to Daggers only.

Give shaman access to all the soulshapes from SL for both their GW and feral spirits to bump it to S.

But they have, in my opinion, the worst armor appearances in the entire game. It is horrible. I think that alone should knock them out of S tier.

Not wrong, I actually agree with that lol.

But the few sets that look good that they have, look really good.

And you can make a hunter look good in non-tier/with a simple mog, which I see is fairly common.

I think it’s the class fantasy that lends to that. The biggest factor was the pets.

I would also add that monks are the only class with the ability to hide weapons (1-handed weapons) or wear 1-handed weapons on their back.

Hunter at S tier is insane. Locks are very obviously the blizz fave (green fire, the new questline explaining different race customizations, pet customization).

7

If Warlocks had all that stuff from the get-go, I’d put them higher.

Perhaps even with Hunters, they should probably go in A tier with how good their sets are tbh.

We just got the demon stuff this patch. I’m sure there would be a lot more if they did that a long time ago, like Legion or w.e.

8

Will agree most Hunter sets look pretty awful. This latest one ain’t bad, though.

I think the fact we can equip almost everything in the game minus plate and a few weapon classes trumps that, though. You can pull off so many looks merely due to the very big item pool you have access to.

I don’t understand how this is s tier. First off, all plate classes escept for pally are available to all races and warrior is also the most played too we can transmog any weapon type polearms, staves, maces, swords u name it

10

Hunters basically have their own 3 unique weapon types (ranged cept wands), and pets in addition to that, which is why I put 'em up there. They can also use melee weapons even though that’s more of a leftover thing from the past, especially 1H weapons since they are basically useless for hunters now.

How is druid and warlock not s tier ?

12

Druid, you’re stuck looking at your forms almost all the time, and you will rarely see your armor unless you are Resto. So the cosmetics you choose for your forms will be what you are seeing 95% of the time.

For Warlocks, the fact they can’t really name their pets (you can choose another random name for 50g, and I spent a lot to get ones I wanted) as well as the fact that they don’t have nearly as many options as Hunters do. If you could go out into the world and enslave any demon like a hunter would tame a pet, they’d probably be in S tier as well.

There’s some insanely cool demons out there that you can’t bring with you. I feel like most of the stock warlock demons are just lame in comparison.

The green fire is cool, but hunters get several legendary ranged weapons, so I feel that evens out.

Also, my list is subjective.

13

Any class that doesn’t have access to mogging in their main form is F Tier to me. Looking at you, Evokers and Druids. At least it makes sense for a bear or cat to not be able to use mogging. Zero excuse other than laziness for dragon form with evokers.

fr this list is whack

15

It’s just my opinion, I’ve played all the classes and I just found some to be way more expressive than others.

16

Well I’m not much of a hunter player and probably never will be but I can say they have in my opinion the worst transmog in the game.

17

I’m disregarding your entire list because cloth isn’t at the top. It consistently has the best and most detailed armor in the game

18

While rogue does have some limitations, I think it is actually pretty underrated with transmog. Two of its specs being limited to daggers, yeah I hear ya but the armor transmog options are some of the best variety in the game as far as style difference goes.

Leather, like cloth, has plenty of old style “silly and standard” looking armor, but beyond that rogue has some sweet looking tier gear, but also they often get access to Druid tier gear which can make some ridiculously complex and interesting outfits for a rogue, and even more so now they can get some Demon Hunter looks too. Wow Druid tier 1 look alike gear [from the BC dungeons] is some great rogue transmog and it can go on quite a bit when you start mix and matching pieces. Plus monk gear on them is also styalistically very different.

At the very least they deserve well above Evokers, which you can’t even freakin’ gear most of the time playing.

Don’t get me wrong, I actually think the Warrior has prob the best transmog options due to sheer amount of weapons and weapon types, and tons of great looking armor, but there isn’t near as much variety for a Warrior’s armor for example compared to rogue. At least thematically. I mean, so much of the plate armor sets, while super cool looking, still often just look like tough guy plate, or tough guy plate with some holy-elements, or tough guy plate with some evil-elements. Rogue, druid, and monk gear especially, and a bit of DH, just look so thematically different compared to other class transmog options when wearing other classes gear that it is something to note, and really Rogue wears most of the leather gear best. Druid half the time is in a form so you can’t see it anywya, and monk, while having more weapons, often gets the weapons not looking as good cause you get weapons stuck on their back that often not supposed to… or you have a staff/polearm, and that is about it. Rogues just wear the leather gear best of the leather wearers. Maybe DH up there too but then you are stuck with elves.

Hunters, eh they have their pets but only so many armor sets look that good on them so I dunno if I would put that near top tier., but I am basing this more on transmog I suppose :stuck_out_tongue:
