In terms of what the World of Warcraft Classic Best Classes are, Warrior and Priest stand out almost instantly. This is partly due to the fact that Protection Warrior is the only viable Tank Class in WoW Vanilla Patch 1.12. Both the Proc Warrior and Priest are required for Raids and when combined in a PVP setting can be a fierce combo on the battlegrounds.

This WoW Classic Best PVP Class Tier List focuses only on the PVP aspect of each Class within the Battlegrounds environment. We have also included the Specs as these will play a huge role in what makes that specific Class good in PVP WoW Classic Patch 1.12.

The WoW Classic Best PVP Class tend to be Class specs with high damage and strong Crowd Control CC. Rogue Sub are known for their strong single target damage, while Mages can burst and CC and Warlock have amazing AOE Damage from DOTs. PVP Specs tend to have most Hybrid Talent Builds found in WoW Classic 1.12.
WoW Classic Best PVE Class
This WoW Classic Best PVE Class Tier List is all about Dungeons, Raids, Questing and general use outside of the Player VS Player environment. We decided much like our other WoW Classic Best Class Tier List we would include the specs for each option.

This WoW Classic Best PVE Class Tier List is focused on Raids, Dungeon and even Questing. If you are looking for what class levels up fast then that would be between Warlock and Hunter, but overall late game gearing you will want Warrior Tank, Priest Healer and DPS AOE such as Warlock, Mage, and even Rogue.
We hope you enjoyed our World of Warcraft Classic Best Class Tier List and plan to update this as more information and class talent builds begin to develop.
