World of Warcraft has been going strong for 20 years now. With the beloved Classic version and new The War Within, there is a lot of reason to play a new class. The Siliconera staff has come together to give our picks for our favorite WoW classes to date.
Some of these classes are based on how we think they play into the meta. Others, though, are picks based on how unique they are or how fun they are to play. Regardless, these are some of the Siliconera staff members’ picks for the best World of Warcraft classes worth checking out these days.
Siliconera Speaks Up: Our Picks for the Best WoW Class
Obviously “the best” will depend on the criteria, but I’d like to go to bat for the good old Warrior. In a world of dragon people, demon summoners, and guys who can pull your literal bones out of your body with their mind, it takes a something special to survivejust by swinging a big hunk of metal real good. It hasn’t always been balanced the best, and I still mourn the brief life and sudden death of Gladiator spec, but some of the updated animations are still really satisfying. —Elliot
The best World of Warcraft class for me depends on what role I’m looking to play. As a Classic fan, it has to be either Priest or Death Knight. On the Priest side, I enjoy healing as a Holy Priest, which is the most fun and versatile for me for that role. But if I want to deal damage, I would go with the Unholy Death Knight. I am a sucker for having undead minions in games so this type of crowd control is right up my alley when I want to play DPS. — Cody
