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

World of Warcraft: The War Within releases worldwide for PC on August 26, 2024. The early access phase is already available.
