• Tier B: The Balanced Fighters
• Tier C: Specialists
• Tier D: The underdogs
• Tier E: The Struggles

 

 

↖ Tier S: The Dominators

• Discipline Priest: The undisputed PvP champion. With its strong healing and utility, the Disc Priest is a must-have for any serious PvP team.
• Beast Mastery Hunter: BM Hunters, with their powerful pets, are a force to be reckoned with. The Scorpion pet, even post-nerf, is incredibly potent.
• Demonology Warlock: A sleeper OP choice, Demo Warlocks bring formidable power to the battlefield with their minions and controlling spells.

 

↖ Tier A: Strong Contenders

• Combat Rogue: Rogues remain a solid choice with their burst damage and control capabilities.
• Feral Druid: While perhaps not as powerful as some believe, Feral Druids are still very effective in PvP, especially in hit-and-run tactics.
• Affliction Warlock: Known for their damage over time, Affliction Warlocks can wear down opponents relentlessly.

 

↖ Tier B: The Balanced Fighters

• Elemental Shaman: These Shamans pack a punch with their burst damage but lack the consistency of higher-tier classes.
• Holy Paladin: A sturdy choice with good healing output, though sometimes held back by long casting times.
• Subtlety Rogue: Ideal for players who prefer a more ambush-oriented playstyle.

 

↖ Tier C: Specialists

• Healer Arcane Mage: Unique in their role, they excel in supporting teammates rather than direct confrontation.
• Fire Mage: Best for players focusing on pure DPS, with talents like Living Bomb making a significant impact.
• Enhancement Shaman: More PvE-oriented, but can hold their own in PvP with the right setup.

 

↖ Tier D: The underdogs

• Destruction Warlock: Rarely seen and somewhat underrated. These Warlocks can surprise their opponents, but their impact is not as great as others.
• Restoration Shaman: The Restoration class is not commonly seen in PvP, and it is generally eclipsed by other healing classes.

 

↖ Tier E: The Struggles

• All Warrior Specs: Warriors face a tough time in PvP without key abilities like Charge or Intercept, making them less viable.
• Mage of Frost: Limited to a support role, providing slows and crowd control, but lacking in damage output.
• Shadow Priest: Shadow Priests have a difficult time managing mana, which makes them less effective during prolonged engagements.

 

Conclusion:

Throughout Season of Discovery, the PvP tier lists reflect current playstyles, team compositions, and specific PvP scenarios. You must pay close attention to the changes as the game evolves to be effective.
