[0:00] Welcome to where the game is on. It's
[0:02] me, Game of Azeroth. If you're trying to
[0:04] solo delves in Warcraft, your class
[0:06] choice matters more than anything, and
[0:08] some classes are basically unkillable,
[0:11] while others will struggle no matter
[0:12] what you do.
[0:14] I've tested multiple setups, builds, and
[0:16] curio [music] combinations, and in this
[0:18] video, I'm ranking every class based on
[0:20] survivability, speed, and how easy it is
[0:23] to play solo.
[0:25] This ranking is based on three things:
[0:27] survivability, if you can stay alive
[0:30] under pressure, damage output to see how
[0:32] fast you can clear, and ease of play,
[0:35] because the fastest class isn't the one
[0:37] that does the most damage, it's the one
[0:39] that never dies. But, before I get
[0:41] started with the rankings, keep in mind
[0:44] I won't be going over setups such as
[0:46] curio combos or Valera rows.
[0:48] If you are interested in seeing if your
[0:50] class is ranked here and would like to
[0:52] know your best curio setup for delves,
[0:54] go ahead and click the link at the top
[0:56] of the video. And now, starting with our
[0:58] C-tier class, who are known to struggle
[1:00] solo, first goes to our arms warrior. A
[1:04] strong choice here, but they have weak
[1:07] self-healing. They do have victory rush,
[1:09] which is situational, and they have
[1:11] second wind, but it's slow and passive.
[1:14] If you're taking constant damage, you
[1:17] can't recover fast enough, and you'll
[1:18] struggle with big pulls.
[1:21] Our next C-tier class goes to our frost
[1:23] [music] mage. I know this may surprise
[1:25] you, but although frost does great in
[1:28] other content, delves does isn't their
[1:30] strongest suit. They have no real
[1:32] sustain. They have ice barrier and an
[1:36] ice block defensive, which prevents
[1:38] damage, but when it runs out, you don't
[1:40] recover from it. Frost isn't weak,
[1:43] they're just built around slowing,
[1:45] kiting, and controlling space. And the
[1:47] problem with this is delves often force
[1:51] tight areas, multiple enemies, and
[1:54] [music] constant pressure. And once cool
[1:56] downs are down, you're exposed.
[1:59] And on to our next C-tier class, goes to
[2:02] our marksmanship hunter. They have great
[2:05] damage and a pet. However, marksmanship
[2:08] pets aren't built to tank long-term.
[2:11] Redirection gives you a tank for a few
[2:13] seconds, but it doesn't solve the core
[2:15] problem of surviving the entire fight.
[2:17] Once it ends, the enemies go back to
[2:20] you. So, while redirection makes
[2:22] marksmanship feel better, it's still
[2:25] C-tier for efficiency, and maybe B-tier
[2:28] if played very carefully. And now, for
[2:30] the B-tier classes, these are viable,
[2:33] but less forgiving. So, first, we got
[2:36] our fury warrior.
[2:39] They have good sustainability, but they
[2:41] require constant uptime. It falls off if
[2:45] you lose pressure. So, this one, you
[2:47] have to be careful.
[2:49] Our next B-tier class goes to our shadow
[2:51] priest. Like discipline, shadow has
[2:54] strong healing, but a slower ramp-up in
[2:56] damage. They're safe, but not fast. Your
[3:00] bubble is not as effective as
[3:01] discipline, either, but you can switch
[3:04] out some curios, like using mantle of
[3:05] stars for an emergency bubble for extra
[3:08] survivability. And our final B-tier
[3:11] class goes to our restoration druid.
[3:14] Now, they are very hard to kill,
[3:16] however, you find yourself clearing
[3:19] delves a bit slower. But, in this case,
[3:21] like shadow priest, just using the right
[3:24] curios could change this outcome. Now,
[3:27] before I continue, be sure to stay with
[3:29] me for a very hot delve tip at the end
[3:31] of the rankings. And now, our A-tier
[3:34] classes. These are strong, but do
[3:36] require some skill. This one goes to our
[3:39] retribution paladin. For strong healing
[3:42] and great [music] burst damage. So, for
[3:45] the first time, they do feel like a tank
[3:48] with damage. Retribution has been very
[3:51] fun to play in Midnight so far, and
[3:53] their delve runs feel very bursty and
[3:55] lucrative, especially with the right
[3:57] curios. [music]
[3:58] And our next A-tier class, this one goes
[4:00] to our warlock. This one is off-spec.
[4:03] Similar to hunters, your pet tanks, but
[4:06] better. Additionally, you sustain with
[4:09] healing by drain life or using soul burn
[4:12] with a healthstone in emergency
[4:14] situations, which makes them a safe
[4:16] option in delves. However, the wrong
[4:19] pull, and you could become overwhelmed.
[4:22] And our last A-tier [music] class goes
[4:24] to our havoc demon hunter. This one is
[4:27] always fun to play for their high
[4:29] mobility and leech sustainability, and
[4:32] they provide one of the best rotations
[4:34] for fast clears. They're fast, [music]
[4:37] but requires awareness. And finally, our
[4:40] S-tier classes. This is practically easy
[4:44] mode. So, this one goes to our blood
[4:47] death knights. Granted, they are tanks,
[4:50] but they have massive self-healing, and
[4:53] it scales with damage taken, and they
[4:55] thrive in big pulls. If you die on this
[4:57] class, it's not the class. This is the
[5:00] best solo class in the game, no
[5:02] question. And our next S-tier class goes
[5:05] to our guardian druid. Yes, another
[5:08] tank, but they are currently the easiest
[5:10] class to play for solo content. They
[5:13] have a simple rotation, they're
[5:14] extremely tanky, and have consistent
[5:17] [music] healing. You can make mistakes
[5:19] and still survive. And not to waste any
[5:21] more time, onto our next S-tier class,
[5:24] this goes to our beast mastery [music]
[5:26] hunter. This is the safest range class
[5:29] for delves. Your pet tanks everything.
[5:32] You stay at range, and it's low-risk
[5:34] gameplay. Unlike marksmanship, your pet
[5:37] is built for tanking. You're basically
[5:39] never in danger. Valera is also very
[5:43] diverse with this [music] class and
[5:44] spec. You can have her heal, and you'll
[5:47] never die, or you can have her DPS, and
[5:50] as long as you keep your pet up with
[5:52] mend, you're just doubling damage
[5:54] output.
[5:55] And for our next S-tier class, this one
[5:58] goes to our discipline priest. One of
[6:00] the most underrated solo specs. The more
[6:03] you damage, the more healing you
[6:05] receive. So, stay bubbled, and you're
[6:08] basically untouchable. They're also
[6:10] extremely stable and hard to kill if
[6:13] played right.
[6:14] And now, our final S-tier class. This
[6:17] one goes to our rogue. This one is a bit
[6:20] tricky, because if played correctly, it
[6:23] definitely belongs in this tier. The
[6:25] power comes from control plus damage
[6:28] redirection, not raw tankiness. Tricks
[6:31] of the trade is your key ability. You
[6:34] redirect threat away from you and let
[6:36] Valera take pressure, enabling
[6:38] aggressive burst without [music] dying.
[6:41] Saps, stuns, blind, kick. Rogues doesn't
[6:44] survive by healing, it survives by never
[6:47] taking damage [music] in the first
[6:48] place.
[6:49] Rogue is one of the strongest delve
[6:51] classes in the game right now, but only
[6:54] if you know how to play it properly.
[6:56] If you want an easy, unkillable class,
[6:59] play blood death knight or guardian
[7:01] druid. If you want a high-skill,
[7:03] high-reward play style that can
[7:05] completely [music] dominate delves,
[7:07] rogue is one of the best in the game.
[7:09] Now, here's the part most people ignore.
[7:12] Your setup matters just as much as your
[7:14] class. Valera reduces pressure and
[7:17] controls fights. So, your best curio
[7:19] rule is to choose a defensive curio
[7:22] accompanied by a curio with sustainable
[7:25] damage. If your build feels weak, this
[7:28] is usually why.
[7:30] And now, if you're still with me, here
[7:32] is your hot delve tip that many players
[7:34] know, but there is also a lot that may
[7:37] not. So, you can streamline your delve
[7:40] runs so much faster by guiding Valera
[7:43] around the delve yourself. By simply
[7:46] using the ping system, you can command
[7:48] her to gather, stand by in specific
[7:51] areas, or attack a target if you don't
[7:53] want to pull aggro first.
[7:56] This makes your delve runs a lot faster.
[7:59] All right, so here is a final ranking
[8:01] summary for you. Understand that this
[8:04] video is not a guide on how to play
[8:07] these classes, but a simple ranking of
[8:09] the best classes to play in delves,
[8:11] which is why I went through these fairly
[8:13] quickly. Not all classes or specs were
[8:16] mentioned, because this was purely
[8:18] focused on most efficient delve runs,
[8:20] and the classes [music] and specs I
[8:22] ranked here were just worth mentioning
[8:24] more than others. Not to worry, though.
[8:27] Just drop your class and spec in the
[8:30] comments [music]
[8:30] and share your thoughts on your
[8:32] experience and what you rank your class
[8:35] and spec. So, give me a thumbs up, and
[8:37] subscribe for more wild content. Keep on
[8:40] grinding, and I will see you in Azeroth.
