And the 18k Chimera shots. Trust me, yeah rogues are able to solo, but it takes a FEW ambushes. Once unstealthed we can be cc’ed and then one/two shot easily before securing the kill.

RLS dominance in Catacylsm would like a word with you. I hope the leggo daggers are nerfed in arenas lol.

that comp was so fun in wrath, hope it’s still entertaining to play
felhunter dispel seemed a lot more stylish than a shaman just mashing cleanse

The best thing about Cata RLS is you dont have to play with a mut rogue anymore 
As a result you don’t have to stick to 1 target anymore, you get to do nasty swaps with redirect → shadowstep → smoke bomb + soul swap

Thug is also top tier in 4.3. It does well into comps that RLS struggles with.

There was this thing in Cataclysm Blizzard did to try and “fix” warriors getting a bad batch and being CC’d during Bladestorm right after pressing it (which happened fairly often). Where they basically gave you like 1 second of leeway to press Bladestorm quickly after eating CCs like Kidney Shot (for some reason I don’t think it ever worked on Cyclone, but just about everything else did)… to break out of them.
Kind of a crude fix, but I hope it God it works in Cata Classic. It was the only way to have a chance in hell at surviving against RLS for long lol.
me… worgen druid… could not res at friendly GY only at horde GY and instant death in the middle of 5 horde rezzing.
I can’t decide weather to play my main warr, this rogue or my lock.
Thinking I might play my lock but rogue sounds great. They all sound great

There seems to be a general lack of updated knowledge around cata’s meta, some info here is based on memory of the original cata meta which won’t be quite the same this time around.
A quick analysis of the cata pserver meta shows the following:
Early expansion arenas : physical and melee classes outpace casters in both 2v2 and 3v3.
Hunters , ferals , rets , DKs and rogues are a step above the rest in overall comp viability.
Things such as caster cleaves like mls , lsd2, spicy rise up later on towards the middle and end of the expansion.
Which comps fall off later on? In 3v3 early game tsg and cleaves are more viable than later seasons, as casters get stronger and scale cleaves fall off slowly.
But some specs remain constant throughout the expansion, rogues for example only get stronger as their legendary daggers elevate them to s+ tier later on, feral druids bleeds are so potent their comps never fall off , hunters ( who know how to play) will also always have s tier comps like jungle, phdk, phd.
And that’s only 3v3 , in 2s casters rarely exist except for a few but if you arent playing with one of the meta melees odds are your comp isnt top tier.
With that in mind the actual updated tierlist looks like this (in no particular order among tiers) :
S tier: feral, rogue, hunter , dk.
A tier: afflock, ret , warrior, fire mage.
B tier: boomy, frost dk, frost mage , sp.
C tier: destro , ele , whichever spec i forgot is here.
Healers also look a bit different. Although resto shaman is strong it is portrayed as god tier which isnt very accurate.
In reality due to the nature of the meta updates holy pala is also up there followed by disc priest,only resto druid seems a bit lacking as it cannot keep up with the meta sadly.

I think this is really accurate based on what I’ve seen in the past decade on 4.3 pservers.

I know res doesn’t matter right now but I got global’d by a rogue who did a 21k evis with 1300 res lol

Hunter gonna be F tier if they don’t fix the stable. 5k arcane shots are not enough for a dps
Hunters are far stronger in Cata then they were in Wrath.
