WoW Forever Tier List

Why This Page Names No Single S Tier

A tier list needs results from the content it claims to rank. WoW Forever launched November 4, and its new raids don't unlock until December 9, so level 60 raid results can't exist yet.Confirmed, a first-party sourceSource: Blizzard: What's Next Panel Recap, checked Nov 8, 2026.

We checked the public sims, the opinion lists, the October duel tournament and Blizzard's notes on November 8. We found no published level 60 ranking built from logged fights. Forever Sixty, which runs its own log uploads, says of its healer order that "No level-60 log is behind this order yet."Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: Forever Sixty: healer tiers, updated Nov 7, checked Nov 8, 2026.

So this page does not rank the classes. It shows what each published source measured, when, and at what level. For a decision about what to play, the best class guide works through role and playstyle.

What Evidence Exists for Each Role

Rows are sorted alphabetically by role, so position says nothing about strength.

Only the PvP row rests on games people actually played, and it stopped at level 30. Everything else is a model.

All Nine Classes Side by Side

Rows are sorted alphabetically by class. MythicSim's bands are set from the median spec: S is 15% or more above it, A is above it, B is within 15% below it, and C is further down.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: MythicSim: Methodology, Nov 8, 2026 snapshot, level 60. The finish column is each class's best placing at The Forever Open, a level 30 Horde event.

The Hunter bands use MythicSim's melee weaving references. It warns that how well weaving "holds up in a real raid is not yet confirmed."Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: MythicSim: DPS tier list, Nov 8, 2026 snapshot, level 60. Finals seats were fixed at four per class, so a finish says nothing about how many players of a class did well.Reported, press or datamine, not confirmedSource: WoW Forever Info: The Forever Open, updated Oct 20, checked Nov 8, 2026.

Why the Sources Disagree

They answer different questions. Tanks show this best: MythicSim's threat board leads with Feral Bear, and Forever Sixty's damage-taken board leads with Protection Warrior. Each is right about the thing it measures.

Healer numbers have the same limit. Forever Sixty's simulated healing puts Discipline Priest last of five, but the sim counts healing done over a stand-in fight and leaves utility out.

Time matters too. Blizzard said of the November 2 changes that "we've raised damage on classes across the game," so any list graded before that date describes a different game.Confirmed, a first-party sourceSource: Blizzard: Beta Development Notes, post 9, Classes developer notes, checked Nov 8, 2026.

How to Read Any WoW Forever Tier List

Run these checks before trusting any grade:

1. Find the level cap it was graded at.
2. Find its date, and compare it with November 2.
3. Ask whether it used sims, logs or opinion.
4. Check which fight length and target it assumed.
5. Look for what it says it left out.
6. Check whether it grades specs or whole classes.
7. See whether the seller also sells boosting.

Level 30 data is the most common trap. The beta stopped at 30, so anything learned later was missing from those results.

What Is About to Change

Blizzard wrote on November 6 that it planned hotfixes for November 10, and further balance changes "on future Tuesdays if necessary."Confirmed, a first-party sourceSource: Blizzard: Class Tuning Incoming, Kaivax, Nov 6, 2026, checked Nov 8, 2026. The named targets are:

• Hunter pet and Warlock Voidwalker durability.
• Affliction Warlock damage-over-time value beside Wrack.
• Enhancement Shaman stat preference, toward Strength.

The November 2 notes also promise a larger pass later. Once Blizzard has data from players past 30, "we expect that we will do a large tuning pass."Confirmed, a first-party sourceSource: Blizzard: Beta Development Notes, post 9, Classes developer notes, checked Nov 8, 2026. Blizzard also states its goal is "not perfect numerical equality," so even a logged list will show gaps by design.

A real ranking needs level 60 fights logged after December 9, across more than one boss, with enough players per spec.

What to Do Until Then

Pick by role and by what you enjoy pressing. The best class guide covers that, and the best leveling class guide covers the road to 60. Track each patch on the class change tracker, and test talents in the talent calculator. The builds page holds dated plans, so check their level cap before copying one.

A route saves more time on the way to 60 than any tier does. Compare RestedXP and Zygor Guides, or read Zygor vs RestedXP.
