In your opinion, What are most powerful classes/spec in lore? Don’t count super heroes like Jaina or medivn, just regular and average mortals.
Share your opinion and let’s have fun. Here is mine:
S tier:
1- Warlocks
2- Mages
A tier:
3. Balance/resto Druid
4. Shadow priest
5. Demon hunter
B Tier:
6. Death knight
7. Paladin
8. Shaman
C tier:
9. Disc/holy priest
10. Monks
11. Feral/guardian druids
D tier:
12. Hunters
13. Rogues
14. Warriors
If I had to guess I’d say top 3 is DK/Lock/Mage
I don’t know much about other characters in lore outside of the super heroes.
warriors should be bumped a tier up just for being badass 
I have a dumb question: why is “s” listed above “a”?
Not sure but I have seen it many times in tier lists ranking. I guess S= supreme?
Me too and I also assumed it meant, well not supreme but superior? Either one?
I see it a lot on Icy Veins.
Oh btw, I think Paladins and Death Knights should be A Tier with Druids.
always thought it was super.
like super sports cars are better than sports cars, i guess.
The only mortal to EVER wound Sargaras was a warrior. You have them dead last…
S++ Teir.
Balance Druid.
Through their connection to the Emerald Dream, a powerful balance druid would be able to strike down their foes with the pure, coalesced power of the Titans.
That’s something so strong it would make the Eye of Aman’thul look like a children’s toy.
That is planet destroying levels of power.
S Teir:
Warlock
Speaking of Planet destroying levels of Power: Warlocks. Though Ner’zhul’s classification of “Warlock” can be somewhat disputed. He used the Scepter of Sargeras to literally destroy draenor.
Players in Legion are able to weild that same artifact, with much more power and skill than Ner’zhul ever could.
Shaman: Similarly, the Shaman is able to weild the Fist of Ra-den, a titan construct on a similar level of power to the Eye of Aman’thul.
The Fist of Raden is able to store all the electric power of Azeroth all at once, and when overcharged is capable of creating alternate dimensions.
It gave Lei Shen powers close to a god. It’s the Infinity gauntlet of WoW.
A Teir:
Mage: Theoretically, a mage, empowered by the forge of the Gaurdian could channel enough arcane powers to rip holes in time, and even destroy the planet. But this is heavily conditional, and comes at great cost to the mage.
The Rest:
Everything else.
I think shadow priest deserves a place in your tier. But it was a good one
DH are not more powerful than DKs, The most powerful DH was defeated by the most powerfull DK, and in lore, the DK player (The deathlord) is now the most powerfull DK alive.
Non illidan DH were not near as powerfull as Illidan, so:
S tier
A tier
3. Deathknights
4. Druids
5. Shadow priest
B tier
Shadow priests are incredibly powerful and incredibly dangerous.
I rate them lower than the rest because a Shadowpriest inherently has very little “Control” over their powers. It’s chaotic and unpredictable.
The Void is terrifying, and all consuming, and easily surpasses the titans in it’s power… But the one class that CAN use it, can’t use it very well.
Mages and Locks are S-tier alone if we consider the rule of their attacks following you around like a guided missil, but in reality, this balance issue shouldn’t exist.
Demon Hunters would be S-tier as I bet these guys are fast enough to dodge fireballs/chaos bolts and cut the mage/lock in half after dancing around their blasts and taking advantage of cast times at the same time.
Death Knight is similar, but with anti magic shield (or pulling the mage-lock towards their own attack with Death Grip.)
That’s vs scenarios, though. If by destructive capabilities we go… yeah. Mages and Locks are likely uncontested.
I didn’t know this. That’s really cool
Here is what i think:
S tier:
1 - Demon Hunter (there isnt a regular demon hunter, its pretty hard to become one, only the elite become one and also they have superhuman powers thanks to fel magic even more than the “good” warlocks actually use)
2 - Warlock (it would be the most powerfull if i counted the bad guys, fel magic is simple very powerfull)
3 - Death Knight (a powerfull paladin can fight a death knight, a regular one dont stand a chance, death knighs are simple very powerfull thanks to the dark powers it can wield as well his undead resistance)
4 - Shadow Priest (A void caster, do i need to say anything else? the only problem here is the insanity cost such powers can cause)
A tier:
5 - Mage (a mage power is equivalent to how much nerdy the user is alongside op shenanigans, but a regular mage is not very powerfull)
6 - Sub rogue (sub rogues are shadow magic users to an extent, anyone that saw lillian voss by leveling a forsaken knows what those shadow powers can do)
7 - Shaman (shaman is kinda cheating since his powers are borrowed and therefore depends on how much the elements are willing to give and how powerfull those are, as well how skillfull the shaman is to channel those powers)
B tier:
8 - Paladin (Paladins are essentially warriors who wield the powers of the light, however most paladins are not a big of a deal, major powerfull characters are chosen ones of the light, they can be powerfull but its also a privileged status)
9 - Druid (it depends on the environment, the nature and dream connection, as well other reasons that may justify that druid being powerfull. But besides all this, a feline, a bear well such things are already dangerous on their own)
10 - Monk (pick two guys, give a weapon to a martial art master and the other weapon to just a bandid and you will discover the power of the monk)
C tier -
11 - Hunters (guns, bows, animals are dangerous already, but hunters are also strategic survival skillfull fighters)
12 - assassin/outlaw Rogue (murderers that play dirty thats their strenght)
13 - Warrior (warriors managed a lot in wow history, but the thing is…they dont have any sort of power, other classes wield powers which is why they are strong and destructive, warrior is just a guy with some armor and a stick, whatever…
It’s just a part of gaming culture. It’s been around in lots of video games and isn’t going to die in a hole anytime soon.
I couldn’t tell you which game started it.
IDK but druid shooting moons at you seems quite destructive and more powerful than any regular DK.
Regular dk is not as powerful as you think. Remember this is not arthas/lich king just regular dks
DK to me is just like an enhanced warrior with some powers. I dare to say that a regular paladin beats a regular dk
i think you are taking what a druid does too literally, its very simbolic because in the end of the day what a balance druid does is to utilize nature raw energy into offensive spells.
You are not literally using moon cannon beams or lasers coming from space although it may look like that.
i can kinda see that, dks do not start powerfull unless they were powerfull previously…
the thing is that acherus does have a lot of loosers into their ranks, the scourge never had death knights as simple peons, usually they were elite powerfull enemies…the scourge probably killed those that failed to become an appropriate tool for the job
Yes I know that it just just symbolic. In practice I think it is just a name , a spell that just drags some arcane energy from the moon but the core spell itself seems more destructive than raising any weak random undead IMO
Its a weeb thing.
