Classes with tons of CC and mobility in WoW: Forever, like Rogue and Warlock, are some of the strongest PvP classes to play. Other classes like Warrior, Shaman, and Paladin are less effective in PvP. To help you stay in the know about the current meta for PvP, this tier list will rank every class and discuss why they're positioned from S to C-tier.
All Classes Ranked in PvP
S-Tier: Best PvP Classes
Rogue
Rogues have access to strong CC abilities like Kidney Shot, Cheap Shot, and Gouge that can be chained together to stunlock enemies in PvP. Their DoT effects also give them an edge in 1v1 duels.
Warlock
Warlocks currently have the best self-sustaining abilities in the game, plus a strong damage-reduction spell with Soul Link. While they lack mobility, Warlocks are versatile, with damage, sustain, and utility spells for any situation.
A-Tier: Strong PvP Classes
Mage
Like Rogues, Mages have stun and slow spells that can lock down a high-priority target. They lack escape and repositioning spells, which can make them vulnerable to ganks. Mages need to position correctly with their team to be effective in PvP.
Druid
Druids have a ton of mobility and stealth options, making them the go-to objective-securing class in Battlegrounds. They also have strong self-sustain abilities that let them survive longer than most classes in a straight fight.
Hunter
Hunters are a great ranged DPS option for PvP content and excel at cleaning up weaker targets. However, they have no disengagement tools or other skills to fall back on once they pop their cooldowns. Still, they can reliably kite enemies and can pick off low-health targets, especially in BG modes like CTF.
Priest
The Priest class is one of the best support options for Battlegrounds and even some group open-world PvP. They have great healing, CC, and even damage with the Shadow spec, but they share the same weakness as Mage: no mobility tools, making them just as vulnerable to ganking.
B-Tier: Situational PvP Classes
Paladin
Since the current PvP meta involves a lot of ranged kiting, Paladin's only utility is tanking an objective node for their team. The Retribution spec has strong melee damage abilities but is easily kitable, while the Holy spec is only good for organized Battleground gameplay.
Shaman
Shamans are limited only to the Elemental spec, as that's the only option that can reliably dish out damage in PvP. Not only that, it is fairly weak at level 30, requiring max level to unlock every spell. Compared to other classes like Mage or Warlock, Shamans offer little utility.
C-Tier: Weakest PvP Class
Warrior
Warriors suffer most in the ranged poke meta since they can be easily kited. Hypothetically, the Arms spec lets them deal a lot of crit damage, but it has the strictest gear requirements to really dish out that kind of damage.
