Which class is best for Wrath of the Lich King Classic? It can be confusing to choose a class in WotLK that is best suited for you, you should make the decision based on several factors. So this guide is for you, we are talking about the best class in Wrath of the Lich King Classic, purely based on how they perform throughout Wrath of the Lich King and the different raid tiers. For more you can visit https://www.wotlkclassicgold.com/

We detail how these classes perform across every tier in Wrath of the Lich King, ultimately coming to a decision of how they perform overall, so, for example is DK's gets a 4/10 in the tier7, a 4/10 in tier8, a 6/10 in tier9 but a 10/10 in tier10, that would get them a 6/10 in total based on these ranking points, so ultimately we are looking for a class, or perhaps several classes, that will perform decently in every single Tier of Wrath of the Lich King Classic! The main goal of this guide is to give you a general look into each specific class for Wrath of the Lich King, to hopefully help you determine which class you should play in Wrath of the Lich King, and maybe help you find a class to main !

Top Class in Wrath of the Lich King Classic - Priests

Priests are one of the strongest classes Wrath of the Lich King in both of their roles, aka DPS and Healing. Different people will have different views on this. To rank them, put both Shadow and Disc Priests into the S-Tier when it comes to general performance throughout Wrath of the Lich King. What Shadow Priest lacks in pure damage output, it more than makes up for with all of it's other class synergies and benefits, such as Vampiric Embrace and Vampiric Touch, contributing both healing and mana regeneration to the raid, as well as Dispersion which is the absolute highest damage reduction available in the game, which makes them perfect for soaking soakable mechanics during raids. Discipline Priests are also great healers, usually competing for top HPS on those meters, but the only reason we don't put them into the OP Tier is Holy Paladins in general are better. Some people would but Holy Paladins and Disc Priests on even ground.

Not only are Discipline Priests great because of their healing though, Discipline also excels at absorbing damage, and by going for the Inspiration Talent in the Holy Tree you also bring a 10% damage reduction, which topped with your Shields & Damage Absorptions is enough to survive any boss mechanics out there.

Best Class in WOTLK Classic - Paladins

Paladins are the absolute kings of Wrath of the Lich King. Protection Paladins are amazing, Holy Paladins are amazing, and while Retribution Paladins are not going to be topping the damage meters in every single tier, they won't be at the bottom either, and they're actually quite high up there on the damage meters, especially in tier 10. Tier7 and tier8 is a whole different case, but while Retribution Paladins are not good in every tiers, Protection Paladins are the best tanks throughout all of Wrath of the Lich King, with the exception of Tier 9 which is commonly known as the Death Knight Tier .

Holy Paladins become infinitely better than they have previously been due to many reasons, one of them is the access to the new Glyph systems, and Holy Paladins get a fantastic glyph called Glyph of Holy Light, which makes it so your Holy Light grants 10% of its heal amount to up to 5 friendly targets within 8 yards of the initial target. This glyph is absolutely incredible and lets you spamheal a focus target with Holy Light while still also healing other people, allowing you to pump those Healing Meters! Paladin healers are great tank healers in Wrath, and with that Glyph you can also heal some other people while focusing on the tanks.

WOTLK Classic Best Class - Warlocks

For this spec, put it into different Tiers for different Tiers. For the first tier of Wrath, aka Naxxramas, Warlocks actually perform quite well in both Affliction and Demonology spec, and they actually clutch in on the OP Tier. For Ulduar, it's pretty much the same story, once again ranking in at the OP Tier, but for Trial of the Crusader things start getting mixed up and Warlocks don't perform as well as other classes such as Death Knights, Marksmanship Hunters, or Even Mages and Rogues, and Warlocks fall down to A-Tier, but probably at the Top of the A-Tier, closing in on S-Tier. That being said, for the last patch of Wrath of the Lich King, aka tier10 or Icecrown Citadel, Demonology Warlocks stay in the A-Tier, while Affliction Warlocks surges back up to the OP-Tier. Overall, this means that Warlocks perform at the top of the food chain for 3 out of 4 tiers in Wrath of the Lich King, and that puts them in the OP-Tier overall as well.
