Based off what we are seeing, who wants to guess a tier list? Interested to see what people think will happen, what classes will stay on top, which will come up, which get worse or better.
All I know is Frost Mages potentially having a 2.5x critical strike modifier is going to be absolutely insane.
Elem Shaman 100% S tier
Warlock 100% as always S
Tbh between the new runes and how good the new gear is, everything is going to blast people.
My prediction for what gets complained about most, I.E “OP, Nerf now!” is
- BM hunters (pets still soloing people)
- Both varieties of shaman DPS (high damage, tanky and being able to heal)
- Frost Mages & Rogues (obscene amounts of control, mobility and damage)
Arent mages getting hotstreak?
Pyroblast is basically a one shot
And you forgot new OP PVP hunters rune traps launcher in combat with 40 yards range instant
Yea, crit isnt high enough to be worried about it yet though IMO.
Now Deep Freeze with Shatter talent, 50% more crit damage from another rune and Ice Lance and Fingers of Frost already in the game IS cause for concern.
Frost mages are going to be able to lance you to death with zero counterplay and its not going to be enjoyable

We’ll have to see if they have an arm time or go off instantly like retail. If its the latter, yea its pretty good but I wouldn’t call it “OP”
No any other class have instant cast huge CC with 40 yards range. So in my opinion it will be OP
The instant freezing trap is probably gonna be raged about until it gets nerfed because hunter cannot be allowed to be powerful. A super instant cc at 40 yrds that can remove a healer from the fight is stronk af.

You are high if you think Pets are still going to hurt in new Gnomer gear. Pets will be tickling now. I’m going to remember your comment and when I get slapped for 200 damage by a level 40 wind serpent every 5 seconds with a 4k Health pool I’ll come back here and laugh at you.
Hunters are already strong enough. They don’t need so strong new PVP rune
How much damage do you think the pet will do at 40…realistically, whats your estimate per wind serpent hit?
Based on the two new priest runes shown, we are still going to be a major powerhouse. Whats even more crazy is shadow opens up.
And correct if i am wrong but unless they put another more powerful rune in the PS slot will shadow priest have access to pain suppression!?
I am excited for priest and i am really interested in going shadow
I’m predicting Shadow is going to actually be a bit over the top in PvP. The runes seems absolutely insane. Also I think Mage is going to be completely busted as well since they get a huge toolkit at 40 already. Plus they are getting Deep Freeze and POM Pyros, and infinite kiting with Displacement.
According to petopia:
the current rank of Lightning Breath hunters have now deals 36-40
The rank they will have at 40 will deal 51-59.
So with a new rank in mind and them scaling off hunter stats, new runes, BM tree, Bestial Wrath… rough estimate is 500-600~ crits?
Keep in mind fully geared toons will have 3k~ life on average in full phase 2 new gear, less if they are min-maxing DPS and dont have stam on some of their gear.
Wait so they get rank 4 Lightning breath on Wind Serpent at 40? Are you sureeeee buddy? I mean I can correct you here, but I also can let you look up when you can tame a Wind serpent with Rank 4 lightning breath.

Got me, I didn’t notice lowest mob with it being lvl 41, was just looking at damage numbers and pet lvl required. Big L for wind serpents I guess, but if the hunter community has proven anything in P1, its they WILL find the pet that does the most damage lol

heh the 1.0 attack speed broken tooth will munch on casters.
think youre getting off that spell?
start casting…
3 hrs later you got the cast off .
All I know is no one is ever right about this. No one was predicting priests and hunters to be the goat for phase 1. Therefore, I’m going to say warrior.
