Mobility dps spec tier list in combat

What classes are the most mobile in combat? From my experience the tier list goes like this:

S tier
1: WW Monk
2: Havoc DH
3: Feral Druid

A tier
4. BM Hunter
5. SV hunter
6. Balance druid
7. Sub Rogue
8. Outlaw rogue
9. MM hunter

B tier
10. Fury Warrior
11. Sin Rogue
12. Arms warrior
13. Fire mage
14. Frost mage

C tier
15. Enh Shaman
16. Elemental shaman
17. Arcane mage
18. Shadow Priest

Wheelchair tier
19. Frost Death Knight
20. UH Death knight
21. Ret Paladin
22. Aff lock
23. Demo lock
24. Destro lock

Let me know if this list is acurate

This needs specs instead of classes.

Havoc isn’t Vengeance, Windwalker isn’t Brewmaster, Arcane isn’t Frost, etc.

DK last. Warlocks at least have burning rush. And paladins are in a class of their own running from everything.

I heard your request. I excluded tanks and heals

Nah, nobody takes burning rush

I’d honestly put WW Monk above Havoc DH. Have you tried Chi Torpedo?

Yes but DH wings + fel rush beats monk after all

You’re forgetting about Flying Serpent Kick. Wings isn’t a speed boost. It doesn’t make them more mobile. It’s just a cheap glider.

Not sure about it, let’s see what other folks think about your argument. So ww is the most mobile then?

I think WW is number 1. And DK probably belongs in the wheelchair tier.

Ok I have updated the list

Even venthyr can’t save them lol.

Funny thing is they make door of shadows looks good. When for most classes…unless looking to cheese tree climbing in korthia or skips traps in torghast…you could not have this on the bar. And not be missing much.

Now a conduit iirc gives this a baby cc on use. That’s assuming in pvp the enemy lets you channel this lol. Door channeling venthyr tend to be real easy targets.

Only use I saw for this is if people aren’t paying attention in the chili cook off brawl you can mosey up to the berm on the side away from the ramp, door of shadows to the pot area. THus skipping the wall of melee and aoe spam they put up on the ramp to the pot area usually.

Well… at least they hace some kind of mobility through 2 abilities compared to warlocks which have zero :frowning:

Is balance druid that mobile? I mean I think in terms of raw combat, balance is equal to fire mage.

Fire, Frost, and Boomy are generally the same in terms of movement and are probably the best casters at movement DPS. I would still place Boomy slightly higher for the roar utility (if you want to factor that in for this list)

Arcane mage is also surprisingly good/underrated at movement. I think all the mages are more or less equal in terms of movement utility. Arcane and Fire have talents that increase movement speed. Frost has no equivalent to those talents (it instead can get stronger snares) but it compensates well based on how it works; its procs allows it to easily shuffle for minor movement without losing any damage. For pure ST I think Arcane is slightly better, courtesy of Slipstream + PoM.

How is BM Hunter not S Tier?

Moving is a zero DPS loss.

Is this PvP combat?

Or PvE combat?

And with the right talents, Fury is easily Tier-A with next to zero downtime.

I also agree with the above comment that BM should be S-Tier.

I remember when the expansion came out I was running M0-2 with another lock. He was using burning rush and was abusing the crap out of the healer. I thought to myself that one isn’t going to work out well.

Hunter placement definitely raises some questions, I’m guessing that OP is defining mobility as “getting from A to B with little to no prior setup”, rather than “getting from point A to B with minimal downtime in combat”.

I can see it.

If one is thinking venthyr mm with a more mobile dealer like surging strike lego.

If does help rapid fire a little. Mix with flayed you can shoot and move to a certain extent.

and if rng favors you…you get free insta aimed shot procs. Once in a blue moon my mm hunters get those procs nice. BUt…that luck comes so infrequently.
