[0:00] okay with the war within coming out in
[0:01] less than a couple weeks classes and all
[0:03] their designs are pretty much in their
[0:04] final stage of adjustments before launch
[0:07] day so what we see is what we get so
[0:09] today we're going to be bringing you the
[0:11] top five best classes heading into World
[0:13] of Warcraft the war within based on the
[0:15] class's performance and how their damage
[0:17] tanking and healing capability is right
[0:19] now their hero talent tree design if
[0:21] they're fun and impactful the rotation
[0:23] and if the class feel good to play as
[0:25] well as the skill curve of the class if
[0:27] it's relatively straightforward by the
[0:29] way if you interested we recently just
[0:30] launched our comeback kids live talk
[0:33] show that we stream here on YouTube as
[0:35] well as twitch so if you want to just
[0:36] hang out with some friends meet new
[0:38] people in the community talk about World
[0:39] of Warcraft and enjoy each other's
[0:41] company come on down I promise you won't
[0:43] be disappointed starting off with our
[0:45] first class we have an absolute Banger
[0:47] with the death knight I think everybody
[0:49] saw this one coming because the death
[0:51] knight and all three of specs have been
[0:52] absolutely filthy so far throughout the
[0:55] war within beta whether it be spreading
[0:56] all your diseases and chunking enemies
[0:58] down with your AOE vamper strikes with
[1:00] Unholy death knight dealing massive
[1:02] obliterates and frost strikes to deal
[1:03] explosive Frost damage with frost DK or
[1:06] crucial crowd control and defensive
[1:08] capabilities gripping enemies in
[1:09] constantly with blood death knight when
[1:11] it comes to a performance level all
[1:13] three death knight specs are doing
[1:15] amazing you have your battle res to
[1:16] revive allies in combat your anti-magic
[1:19] Zone to keep allies alive and raid your
[1:21] fantastic crowd control abilities I am
[1:23] loving death knight as a melee class
[1:24] heading to the war within super fun high
[1:27] damage capabilities as well as very
[1:29] solid defensive in my opinion one of the
[1:30] biggest things about what makes death
[1:32] knight so great is the fact that they
[1:34] have three hero talent trees that are
[1:35] all super fun engaging impactful and
[1:38] greatly train your build variety which
[1:40] is so rare in a class heading into the
[1:42] war within you have the writers of the
[1:44] Apocalypse talent tree that summons the
[1:46] army of the Dead to help you in combat
[1:48] where each of your Riders individually
[1:50] cast separate abilities to deal damage
[1:52] or bring more utility you have the sand
[1:53] Lane hero talent tree where you tap into
[1:55] your inner vampire and use vampiric
[1:57] strikes to greatly enhance yourself in
[1:59] combat with improve proved haste as well
[2:00] as dealing nice AOE damage to targets
[2:02] during your cool down Windows then
[2:04] finally you have the deathbringer hero
[2:05] talentry which I will admit did get
[2:07] nerfed multiple times but that doesn't
[2:09] change the fact that it isn't good in
[2:10] the right hands if you use it properly
[2:12] you can end up taking out your giant
[2:14] Scythe to slash enemies multiple times
[2:16] in a row back to back to back and just
[2:18] deal massive damage which is probably
[2:20] the primary reason why it keeps getting
[2:21] nerfed over and over I'm going to be
[2:23] honest I think at this point all three
[2:25] specs for DK are so close in power and
[2:27] neck and neck that they're all just
[2:29] about equal I I think Frost DK whether
[2:31] it be you know your AOE obliterate and
[2:33] frost strike build or the typical you
[2:34] know breath of synr Goa is dealing nice
[2:37] consistent damage you have the Unholy DK
[2:39] that deals of course very high damage
[2:41] with both Riders the apocalypse and the
[2:43] sand Lane hero talent tree and then you
[2:44] have the blood death knight that is very
[2:46] strong you know with their self- sustain
[2:47] their death strike you have all your
[2:49] crowd control abilities like gorin's
[2:51] grasp Abomination limb so you know you
[2:53] can just group up a bunch of mobs
[2:54] together for your DPS just one shot them
[2:56] all listen top to bottom death knight is
[2:59] performing very well and I am loving
[3:01] this class the class thematically is
[3:03] very fun the DPS is there for Unholy and
[3:05] frost all three hero talent trees are
[3:07] impactful they change up your gameplay
[3:09] your rotations a little bit also being
[3:10] very visually appealing I mean what is
[3:13] there not to like about death Knights so
[3:15] far heading into the new expansion
[3:18] moving on next we do have the king of
[3:20] Arcane the Mage now of course right now
[3:22] Mage is another sure hit heading into
[3:25] the new expansion whether it be you know
[3:27] bringing nuclear explosive damage with
[3:29] living bomb and combustion with fire
[3:31] dealing oppressive arcanic impactful
[3:33] damage non-stop with Arcane or chilling
[3:35] enemies to their core with nuclear Comet
[3:37] storms and glacial spikes with frost
[3:39] Mage all three of these specs are very
[3:41] high tier when it comes to DPS they
[3:43] bring extra utility control grouping
[3:45] potential heading into a new expansion
[3:47] you got your time warp you got food for
[3:49] your party you got portals wide variety
[3:51] of gameplay and builds I mean we haven't
[3:53] even gotten to my favorite part and that
[3:55] actually is the hero Talent you're going
[3:56] to notice that on this list in this
[3:58] video almost every class has three sets
[4:00] of Banger hero talents and it continues
[4:03] that way with the Mage you have your
[4:05] sunfury talent tree that numbers wise is
[4:07] the weakest of the three technically but
[4:08] it's awesome when it comes to visuals
[4:10] you summon your Arcane Phoenix to assist
[4:12] you in battle to shoot out non-stop pyro
[4:14] blasts and Arcane magic as well as shoot
[4:16] down meteors to deal explosive damage in
[4:18] combat as well which is so much fun you
[4:20] have the frostfire hero talent tree that
[4:21] is all about combining you know the best
[4:23] of both worlds of frost and fire to deal
[4:26] explosive damage with Comet storms
[4:27] meteors living bombs and occasionally
[4:29] you get a proc to shoot out your instant
[4:31] frostfire bolt which just does a ton of
[4:33] AOE damage to targets and it's so so
[4:36] satisfying not only that you have your
[4:37] Spell slinger hero talentry which is
[4:39] almost entirely passive but throughout
[4:41] your rotation you're constantly shooting
[4:42] out Arcane splinters that deals damage
[4:44] to enemies while looking visually
[4:45] appealing and not impeding on your
[4:47] rotation when it comes to all three
[4:49] specs from Mage all of them are really
[4:51] really good in their own ways but
[4:52] typically they're all very strong I
[4:54] personally love fire Mage and Mythic
[4:56] plus dealing those you know explosive
[4:58] Frost fire bolts and all those living
[5:00] bomb explosions going off it's just so
[5:02] much fun you have Arcane Mage pretty
[5:04] much known as the best overall range DPS
[5:06] spec in the game right now tossing out
[5:08] those Arcane barrages and Arcane orbs
[5:10] like every other gcd with the speck and
[5:12] talentry overhaul making the class feel
[5:14] just so good and and just like butter
[5:16] nowadays compared to what it used to be
[5:18] and then you have Frost Mage which is
[5:19] tossing out you know those really really
[5:21] chunky glacial spikes that are AOE uh
[5:24] you know the heavy-hitting combat storms
[5:25] non-stop ice lances and just dealing so
[5:27] much AOE split damage very very well
[5:30] performing I honestly can't believe how
[5:32] much blizzard loves this class over like
[5:34] every other class that desperately needs
[5:36] help like Druid um nearly every patch
[5:39] there are just some major Buffs or
[5:40] updates to the Mage class overall you
[5:42] know all three specs are you know vary
[5:44] in gameplay drastically they all three
[5:46] have their themes and visuals that are
[5:48] vastly different you have three very
[5:50] well performing hero talent trees that
[5:52] are all impactful and look great I mean
[5:54] there is no reason that if you prefer
[5:56] range DPS and a Caster at that that Mage
[5:59] should shouldn't be number one or at
[6:00] least two on your list when it comes to
[6:03] a main heading into the new expansion
[6:05] moving on to our next brute of a class
[6:07] shockingly we have the warrior it's so
[6:10] great for those players that are looking
[6:11] for straightforward melee DPS or tank
[6:13] this class is simple it has very little
[6:16] responsibilities but my God whatever
[6:18] this class actually is responsible for
[6:21] it does very well protection Warrior
[6:23] right now is easily one of the beefiest
[6:25] classes in the game constantly taking in
[6:27] damage at a consistent level and not
[6:28] being like very spiky when it comes to
[6:30] taking damage which is really really
[6:32] easy for your healers arms Warrior
[6:33] having one of the most simple rotations
[6:35] in the game while dealing very massive
[6:37] AOE damage and then Fury Warrior being
[6:39] super fast-paced with one of the highest
[6:41] burst Windows of damage I've seen
[6:42] throughout the war within beta hitting
[6:44] like 2 3 4 million DPS I am loving
[6:47] Warrior right now you have what feels
[6:48] like an army of offensive cooldowns at
[6:50] your disposal to like macro together
[6:52] into one window insane burst damage
[6:54] fantastic tanking capabilities and so so
[6:57] much more when it comes to their hero
[6:58] talents I really love the Colossus hero
[7:00] talentry for arms as It just fits the
[7:02] class so well adding a nuclear button
[7:04] like demolish to pair into your
[7:06] offensive cooldowns and chunky Cleaves
[7:07] Amplified your buer you know overpowered
[7:09] it's such a nice one-two punch you have
[7:12] the Slayer hero talentry for Fury Weare
[7:14] which I'm not going to lie is almost
[7:15] entirely passive but good God does it
[7:18] amplify your damage by like double it
[7:20] improves your bloodthirst ability your
[7:22] blad storm your execute and it just
[7:23] makes you hit so hard when you combine
[7:25] all of your cool Downs together and it's
[7:27] just so satisfying man then when it
[7:28] comes to the mountain F hero talent tree
[7:30] for protection it brings you you know
[7:32] some consistent AOE damage with your new
[7:34] and improved Thunderclap ability and
[7:36] crucial Avatar cooldown reduction making
[7:38] you constantly in the Avatar state which
[7:40] is important for survivability and extra
[7:42] damage also listen all three hero talent
[7:44] trees are perfect for each spec
[7:45] individually and are super fun and
[7:47] engaging so when it comes to the warrior
[7:49] I got to tell you I think all three
[7:51] specs are about neck and neck in terms
[7:53] of iability protection after the recent
[7:55] tank changes stayed relatively the same
[7:57] as their self-healing was never really
[7:59] the in the game and it was really all
[8:01] about you know high damage mitigation
[8:03] consistently and overall the protection
[8:05] Warriors doing really really good right
[8:06] now compared to some of the other
[8:07] classes like prop p and brew master monk
[8:09] arms Warrior and fury Warrior are about
[8:11] neck and neck in terms of damage when it
[8:13] comes to Mythic plus and rating you know
[8:15] they have two sets of hero talent trees
[8:16] that are very fun my favorite part about
[8:18] the warrior once again has to be the
[8:19] fact that you pop all of your offensive
[8:21] coold Downs at once you have like three
[8:22] or four of them and you just see your
[8:24] damage numbers Skyrocket to the top of
[8:26] the meters and it is easily one of the
[8:28] most satisfying things in the war within
[8:30] so far the one draw back of warrior I
[8:33] will say is that it doesn't have much
[8:35] build Variety in the game I mean it
[8:38] actually has one of the lowest right now
[8:39] Fury you have your Slayer hero Talent
[8:41] Tre that just feels way better than
[8:43] Mountain thing and there's really only
[8:45] one or two specs total for Fury as well
[8:47] as arms so when it comes to Warrior you
[8:49] don't really have many options when it
[8:50] comes to flexibility what you see is
[8:52] kind of what you get and that's not
[8:54] really a bad thing it just depends on
[8:55] who you ask I've never maned a warrior
[8:58] or even have it as one of my alts but I
[8:59] think that's going to change this time
[9:01] around because I am loving the fury
[9:02] Warrior build right now it is so much
[9:04] fun so much nuclear damage tons of
[9:06] offensive coold Downs three hero talent
[9:08] trees that are fun for each spec
[9:10] individually and you know with three
[9:11] specs that are both performing well in
[9:13] their own right super fun to play right
[9:15] now I love Warrior as a chunky Bruiser
[9:17] melee DPS or tank moving on next up we
[9:20] have the master of Darkness the Warlock
[9:23] and boy oh boy has this class seen some
[9:26] major improvements heading into the new
[9:27] expansion we're talking about a DPS
[9:29] class that has three very fun DPS specs
[9:32] that all vary drastically in build
[9:34] variety visual themes hero talentry
[9:37] Theory crafting I mean you have loads of
[9:39] utility with your soul Stones your hell
[9:41] Stones demonic gway summoning Stones I
[9:43] mean the Warlock from a design and DPS
[9:45] standpoint is doing great right now and
[9:47] by God is this a safe class to play
[9:49] heading into the new expansion you got
[9:51] chunky burst damage with Destruction
[9:53] Warlock with their chaos bolts and fell
[9:55] portals non-stop skin melting damage
[9:57] overtime effects with Affliction Warlock
[9:59] and the minion Master demonology warlock
[10:01] that summons an army of demons to do
[10:02] your binning you know players are raving
[10:04] about how much they love the changes to
[10:06] Warlock and how well they're doing so
[10:08] far heading the new expansion with all
[10:09] their new hero talent trees also you
[10:11] know you have the diabolist where you
[10:13] summon minions from the legion based on
[10:15] how many Soul shards you spend and not
[10:17] only that each of those Minions that
[10:19] come out change the effect of some of
[10:21] your abilities giving you a very nice
[10:23] variety of gameplay and mixup of your
[10:25] rotation it's very very unique you have
[10:28] the soul harvester hero Tre that
[10:29] sometimes affects your soul shards to
[10:31] where when you spend them you summon a
[10:33] soul harvesting demon to assist you in
[10:35] battle and to deal additional damage
[10:36] while also vastly increasing your key
[10:38] abilities and then lastly you have the
[10:40] hell caller hero talent tree which
[10:42] transforms your imilate or corruption
[10:44] ability into a new improved damage
[10:46] overtime Effect called wither that deals
[10:48] significantly more damage and not only
[10:50] that you get a brand new one minute
[10:51] offensive cooldown that vastly increased
[10:54] your haste so everything feels so much
[10:55] better listen I'm going to be honest
[10:57] with all three warlock specs they aren't
[11:00] too far apart right now I mean it's like
[11:02] five or 10% between each but I think
[11:04] though if one has to be the technical
[11:06] best it has to be a fliction warlock
[11:08] they have two hero talent trees that are
[11:09] very close in terms of numbers but both
[11:11] are impactful and doing wonders I think
[11:13] demonology requires a lot of skill but
[11:15] it's performing well enough to be able
[11:16] to be played and picked up if you have
[11:18] patience and time to learn it and then
[11:20] lastly you have Destruction Warlock I
[11:21] will say technically is the you know the
[11:24] one spec lagging behind a little bit but
[11:26] that doesn't mean it isn't great in
[11:27] itself and it will continue to perform
[11:29] well throughout the expansion listen
[11:31] when it comes to warlock as a Caster DPS
[11:33] all three specs have fantastic design
[11:35] with impactful hero talent trees super
[11:37] fun to use and offer a very wide variety
[11:40] of builds it's very very rare for a
[11:42] class to have three vastly different
[11:44] hero to trees that are all strong not
[11:47] only that all three specs are performing
[11:49] very well so not only all of that you
[11:52] also have fantastic utility with all
[11:54] their demonic gateways Soul Stones hell
[11:55] Stones I mean you're in a fantastic spot
[11:58] and easily one of the best best classes
[12:00] heading into the new expansion now when
[12:02] talking about the best classes in the
[12:04] war within you didn't seriously think
[12:06] we're going to continue without
[12:07] mentioning the evoker did you I mean
[12:09] this class not only has easily one of
[12:11] the best healers in the game with
[12:12] preservation but overall they have the
[12:14] best DPS support class in the game with
[12:17] augmentation which can easily find a
[12:19] group in any form of content simply
[12:20] because it's hands down the most
[12:22] impactful class in the game you buff
[12:24] your allies for more damage your tank
[12:26] with more survivability and healer with
[12:28] more Mana regeneration of course we know
[12:30] that these two classes are great but
[12:32] don't sleep on Devastation evoker either
[12:34] because this class easily has some of
[12:35] the highest burst damage in the game
[12:38] caring tip the scales with dragon rage
[12:40] fire breath eternity surge your deep
[12:42] breath combo I mean the damage is
[12:44] absolutely there for Devastation it just
[12:45] needs to be a little bit more consistent
[12:48] when it comes to their hero Talent Tre
[12:49] surprisingly when a class has probably
[12:51] you know the best healer with
[12:52] preservation as well as the best overall
[12:53] DPS in the game with augmentation they
[12:56] also have some of the best hero talentry
[12:58] designs in the game as well which is so
[13:00] shocking you have the scale Commander
[13:02] which greatly increases your AOE damage
[13:04] after you use an Empower spell you also
[13:06] trigger your bombardments on your uh
[13:08] enemies from allies to deal more damage
[13:10] to them as well as reducing the coold
[13:11] down on your deep breath ability so
[13:13] you're constantly dealing heavy AOE
[13:14] damage and buffing yourself in allies
[13:16] you have the flame shaper hero talent
[13:18] tree which focuses more on like red
[13:20] damage and fire damage based abilities
[13:21] honing in on way more AOE DPS and
[13:24] increasing your damage over time effects
[13:25] with your new hero Talent ability in
[13:27] Gulf which deals a nice amount of of AOE
[13:29] damage as well as your new passive
[13:31] enkindle then you have the Chrono Ward
[13:33] and talentry which is great for
[13:34] preservation which you know enhances
[13:36] your living flame and turns it into
[13:37] Chrono flame which is much stronger you
[13:40] gain a massive buff to your haste and
[13:41] cooldown recovery rate when you're used
[13:43] tip the scales you summon your threads a
[13:45] fate to buff your allies I mean all
[13:46] three of these hero talent trees are
[13:47] very solid and very welld designed
[13:49] giving you a nasty amount of build
[13:50] variety between all three of their specs
[13:52] which is very very rare uh now listen
[13:55] I'm not going to lie preservation and
[13:56] augmentation are definitely stealing the
[13:58] show when it comes to evoker but that
[14:00] doesn't mean Devastation is bad by any
[14:03] means I think the devastation evoker is
[14:05] you know a very straightforward range
[14:07] Caster DPS that's fun nice Bild variety
[14:10] you just got to know that preservation
[14:11] as a Healer is dominating with like
[14:13] three or four different bills that are
[14:15] just so solid for that class not only
[14:17] that augmentation is known as the best
[14:19] class in the game buffing your allies
[14:21] through the roof and it's just mandatory
[14:23] to have so of course Devastation is
[14:25] going to get overlooked and put on the
[14:27] back burner compared to the other two
[14:28] specs overall I love the evoker as a
[14:31] class you have three sets of hero talent
[14:33] trees that are fun engaging two out of
[14:35] three of their specs are amongst the
[14:37] best in the game if not the best in the
[14:39] game Devastation has its you know
[14:41] specific Niche dealing some of the
[14:42] highest burst damage in the game on
[14:43] select targets at a certain time I I
[14:46] love the design of that spec but you got
[14:47] to know how preservation and
[14:48] augmentation are the Highlight right now
[14:51] but overall I love the build variety
[14:53] utility through the roof evoker by far
[14:55] one of the best classes in the game and
[14:57] it's not even close and yes even though
[14:59] I know I did say top five best classes
[15:02] we have an honorable mention because our
[15:03] next best class heading into the war
[15:05] within is the shaman the shaman came out
[15:08] of nowhere the last month receiving
[15:10] non-stop Buffs class reworks adjustments
[15:13] redesigns and tuning to make the class
[15:16] overall very very appealing to many
[15:17] people out there you have incredible
[15:19] utility with all your totems your brand
[15:21] new Sky Fury buff you have a wide
[15:23] variety of DPS options with you know
[15:25] their melee enhancement their range
[15:27] spellcaster with elemental and not only
[15:29] that the restoration Shaman one of the
[15:31] most fun and fluid healers in the game
[15:32] with all their redesigns right now so
[15:34] now listen truth be told Shaman is
[15:36] eating good and believe it or not for a
[15:38] class to have hero talent trees that are
[15:39] designed well and effective for such a
[15:41] wide variety of gameplay it's not common
[15:44] um you got to know totemic talent tree
[15:46] is performing very well for restoration
[15:48] as it ties your healing re to your brand
[15:50] new totem and enhances all of your other
[15:52] totemic abilities which for restoration
[15:55] is a very big deal you got your healing
[15:56] stream totem your spirit link it's all
[15:59] fantastic stuff for restoration Shaman
[16:00] not only that we saw major Buffs to the
[16:02] stormbringer hero talentry recently
[16:04] which has really elevated the gameplay
[16:05] for Elemental and enhancement overall
[16:08] and it really hones in on that Master of
[16:09] lightning for Shaman and then lastly you
[16:11] have the farer which has been dominant
[16:13] for elemental shaman recently with the
[16:15] lava burst builds constantly summoning
[16:17] out ancestors to assist you in battle to
[16:19] deal extra damage listen I love the
[16:22] designs for all three of hero talent
[16:23] trees they're very cool thematically but
[16:26] you got to know they may not be like the
[16:28] best ever in the game they may not be
[16:30] fantastic for every single spec for
[16:32] Shaman but they are at least usable and
[16:35] playable to where the builds that are
[16:37] there have options and they have some
[16:39] build variety and because of that it is
[16:40] a very nice choice in terms of hero
[16:43] talents when it comes to a class as a
[16:44] whole I really like all three of them
[16:46] when it comes to all three of their
[16:47] Shaman specs individually you got to
[16:49] know right now all of them are eating
[16:51] very good as a range DPS elements will
[16:53] shot up to pretty much near the top in
[16:55] terms of damage and you know you pair
[16:57] that with their massive utility the is
[16:59] performing very well while yes the
[17:00] Enhancement Shaman rotation is super blo
[17:02] in and full of like way too many buttons
[17:05] whether you like it or not the damage is
[17:06] working right now both their hero talent
[17:08] trees are performing nearly
[17:09] neck-and-neck with totemic and
[17:10] stormbringer and then lastly you have
[17:12] the restoration Shaman which I guess
[17:13] technically is slightly slightly lagging
[17:16] behind the other two specs but that's
[17:17] only because enhancement Elemental are
[17:19] doing so well right now and it just
[17:21] might be a slight number tuning issue
[17:23] for restoration listen nevertheless you
[17:25] got to knowe right now Shaman is easily
[17:28] one of the best classes in the game you
[17:29] have three specs that are full of
[17:31] variety you have a range spellcaster
[17:33] with elemental melee Bruiser with
[17:34] enhancement then you have your backline
[17:36] healer with restoration all of them have
[17:38] two viable hero talent trees
[17:39] individually a very wide variety of
[17:41] builds making Shaman just super
[17:43] versatile and fun in any aspect you'd
[17:45] like to play them in I am loving Shaman
[17:47] right now and then you pair that with
[17:48] their massive amount of utility combined
[17:50] with their performance versatility it
[17:52] just makes them one of the best classes
[17:54] in the game and I think they are a sure
[17:56] hit heading into the new expansion but
