WoW Forever DPS tier list

• S tier: Survival Hunter, Fire Mage, Fury Warrior.
• A tier: Arcane Mage, Demonology Warlock, Destruction Warlock, Enhancement Shaman, Feral Druid (Cat), Marksmanship Hunter, Retribution Paladin.
• B tier: Affliction Warlock, Arms Warrior, Assassination Rogue, Combat Rogue, Balance Druid, Beast Mastery Hunter, Shadow Priest, Subtlety Rogue.
• C tier: Elemental Shaman, Frost Mage.

Survival Hunter is the only DPS spec both lists put in S tier. Fury Warrior and Fire Mage are S on one list and A on the other. Retribution Paladin and Enhancement Shaman are the two specs the lists disagree on most: S on wow.gg, B on Mobalytics.

WoW Forever healer tier list

• S tier: Holy Priest, Restoration Druid.
• B tier: Discipline Priest, Holy Paladin, Restoration Shaman.

Restoration Druid and Holy Priest are the best healers. Holy Paladin and Discipline Priest are solid picks, and every healer is fine for dungeons.

WoW Forever tank tier list

• S tier: Feral Druid (Bear), Protection Warrior.
• B tier: Protection Paladin.

Protection Warrior is the safest raid tank, with much better rage and threat than in Classic. Feral Druid in Bear Form is just as strong on one list. Protection Paladin works but trails the other two.

How we ranked

We took two WoW Forever PvE tier lists made after launch: Mobalytics (updated November 4, 2026) and wow.gg (updated November 7, 2026). Each tier is turned into points (S 4, A 3, B 2, C 1) and every spec gets the average. 3.5 or more is S, 2.75 or more is A, 2 or more is B. PvP is not part of this list.

Will this tier list change?

Yes. Both lists are early predictions, and Blizzard will balance classes as raids open. We will update this page when the source lists change. Play the spec you enjoy: every spec can clear current content.
