Here's a look at every class in SOD (As a whole, not just in raid DPS)

WoW Classic Season of Discovery
1

Let’s look at every class in SOD

Rogue
-Best single target and overall raid DPS
-Best or top tier PVP class (Kills almost every other class 100 to 0 in stunlock)
-Stealth allows bypassing a ton of things in the open world
-Low utility but at least has some (Opens lockboxes, locked chests, doors)
-Easy, quick soloing (Mutilate spam, sprint, stealth etc)
-Tank spec has poor AOE but great ST threat and highest DMG output of all tanks
-Easy, simple DPS rotation (Mulilate spam and envenom)
-Only negative is a bit of a lack of utility as far as buffs go (But IEA is still best physical armor reduction debuff)

Hunter
-Excellent single target DPS
-Excellent utility (Brings kings buff, absolutely mandatory on horde side)
-Best AOE DPS (Dungeon DPS king)
-Best soloer/leveler (Can do every thing in the open world)
-Best gold farming potential with the ability to clear entire dungeons solo as well as DMN Tribute runs
-Top tier PVP class in solo and group settings (Explosive trap hits 1.5k-2k+ damage on an uncapped amount of players at range, slowing down/stopping an entire raid in BGs with one or two hunters)
-Easy DPS rotation (Explosive trap and a few shots and then just stand there and autoshoot)
-Only negative is no tanking or healer spec

Druid
-Most versatile class in WOW (Has viable/great healing, tank and DPS specs)
-Great tank spec
-Great healing spec
-Top tier DPS spec with easy rotation
-Excellent dungeon damage with swipe
-Best support class in the game (Battle res, MOTW, wild strikes from feral, leader of the pack from feral, spell crit from boomkin, faerie fire armor debuff, off healing potential from boomkin if needed)
-One of the best solo classes (Healing + Bear form or cat form)
-One of the easiest leveling classes (Either as feral or boomkin, travel form, aquatic form)
-Only negative is that it’s a jack of all trades, master of none, but that’s the entire point of the class. Boomkin could be buffed, but you could easily just switch to feral and be S tier. Switching a spec to fix your character is of course MUCH easier than leveling and obtaining reputations and attunements on an entirely new character

Mage
-Top tier single target dps
-Top tier AOE
-Versatility of a healing spec
-Top 2-3 soloer
-Can solo entire dungeons for gold and boosting
-Ports, food and water
-One of the easiest classes to level with AOEing
-Best or second best gold maker
-Slightly bad in PVP, high skill cap but easy to kill for most classes. Good in group PVP

Warlock
-Great single target dps
-Best 5 target cleave DPS with shadowbolt
-Great tank DPS and best tanks for speed running
-Best solo PVP class with soul link
-Great utility with curses (Mandatory for curse of reck and elements), summoning, soulstones and healthstones, imp health, etc
-Great in dungeons
-Free mount
-Negative is they may not scale as well as other classes in DPS

Priest
-Most versatile healer, good single target heals and group heals
-Great DPS spec with a ton of utility
-Fort/spirit buffs
-Insane in PVP, shadow can kill any class quickly
-Great AOE DPS, great for dungeons
-Good soloers with shadow spec or disc/wand
-DPS spec doesn’t scale well, could use small buff

Shaman
-Insane in PVP, unkillable by many
-Great AOE DPS, good single target DPS
-One of the best healers with chain heal
-Great tank spec with amazing AOE threat, best dungeon tank
-One of the best utility classes with totems. Windfury, stat totems, threat buff for tanks, tremor totem, etc
-Great QOL with ghost wolf (even indoors), reincarnation, water walking and extra hearthstone
-Easy soloing and leveling
-Like other classes that can fulfill every roll they’re a jack of all trades master of none

Paladins
-Great/Best tanks
-Best healers
-One of the best solo in PVP with bubble and LOH
-Great in dungeons
-Free mount
-Best utility on the alliance side with blessings, also wipe protection
-Subpar DPS spec, should be buffed

Warrior
-Worst leveler in the game
-Worst solo/open world play in the game
-One of the worst solo PVP classes. Can be utilized in group situations well with a high skill cap, but only as glad stance. Arms is insanely underpowered
-Trash gold farmers
-Worst AOE DPS in the game
-Worst tank DPS in the game
-Good single target DPS, but not the best
-Valor of Azeroth is a great buff (Added after the fact when they realized how bad warriors were in group situations)
-Meathook and warbringer provide good gap closers (Although skilled players will just outrange them)

When we really look at it overall, warriors are literally the worst class in SOD and it’s not even close

Warriors are literally the best tank in the game and a very good dps.

You are biased and probably bad at the game.

Negative for Warlock is we don’t get to use pets at 60 due to their fragility.

4

Could be said about any pets couldn’t it? Pets aren’t really a major part of raids

You can use them at 60*, they just die in raids. So in the 10% of less of your playtime that you spend raiding, you can’t use them

5

Just the warrior take isnt the best, because pilots from vanillas time can and do use them to great effect.

What are you trying to say?

Warrior is the best tank.

They have the most defensive cool downs and can take the most damage.

8

Vanilla warriors know how vanilla warriors work better, so even with “unbalanced” runes and abilities you will still do fine to great.

9

Warrior tank is literally the best tank.

10

Yeah this is true. I did a wboss the other day and I was like 5th in DPS behind raid geared players because I know how to play warrior. But there’s no way i was beating the rogue, he was doing like 700 DPS more than me and just using 2 buttons

11

MORPHS INTO ABE SIMPSON

As was the style at the time

12

How is warrior tied with enhancement shaman and combat rogue if they are bad in DPS?

If they won’t make warriors the top single target DPS in raids maybe they can fix other areas

Uncap WW damage and increase cleave to 4 targets so they can do decent aoe dps

Maybe let them portal around or give them a summon like mages/locks

Maybe give them wild strikes like druids

Maybe give them a free epic mount

Maybe give them a speed enhancement like travel form while leveling

Maybe give them some sort of warrior specific profession to make money from

Maybe let ww be used in defensive stance for aoe threat (uncapped targets)

14

Literally blood and thunder with uncapped targets would suffice to shore up less capable warriors

Indeed wb
Tank dps isnt relevant high threat best defensives
Middle tier at the LOWEST for dps literally tied with enhance and soon to be gapping them by 200+

Average open world
Average leveling

Strongest pvp CC 1600 crit aoe stun
Best gap closer
deathgrip

worst class totally :dracthyr_hehe_animated:

16

Average open world? Average leveling?

Name 3 classes worse than warriors in the open world and worse at leveling (CLASSES, not specs)

Since average would mean there are at least 3 classes worse than them

1600 aoe in PVP? Have you seen hunter traps? lol

Deathgrip - so that the enemy can kill me quicker. Perfect!

Pvping with warriors has always been a crapshoot solo, and pretty decent with friends.

SoD slightly changed who kills you and how fast, but dont kid yourself into thinking you can 1v1 or even be the tip of the spear with your friends, ur gunna melt.

18

I think you missed my question.

How is warrior tied with enhancement shaman and combat rogue if they are bad at DPS?

19

As stated earlier, because you refused to read my earlier posts, I will not be responding to you. This is your final warning. I will not be engaging with you further, and I would block you if I could figure out that function on this boomer forum

20

They dont bring the best to pve un geared but if you have friends in pvp or know exactly when to pounce or dont care to survive as long as they dont either, they can do work.

And as stated, their defensive abilities are second to none.
