Best Solo Classes for Delves (Ranked C-Tier to S-Tier)

[00:00] Welcome to where the game is on. It's

[00:02] me, Game of Azeroth. If you're trying to

[00:04] solo delves in Warcraft, your class

[00:06] choice matters more than anything, and

[00:08] some classes are basically unkillable,

[00:11] while others will struggle no matter

[00:12] what you do.

[00:14] I've tested multiple setups, builds, and

[00:16] curio [music] combinations, and in this

[00:18] video, I'm ranking every class based on

[00:20] survivability, speed, and how easy it is

[00:23] to play solo.

[00:25] This ranking is based on three things:

[00:27] survivability, if you can stay alive

[00:30] under pressure, damage output to see how

[00:32] fast you can clear, and ease of play,

[00:35] because the fastest class isn't the one

[00:37] that does the most damage, it's the one

[00:39] that never dies. But, before I get

[00:41] started with the rankings, keep in mind

[00:44] I won't be going over setups such as

[00:46] curio combos or Valera rows.

[00:48] If you are interested in seeing if your

[00:50] class is ranked here and would like to

[00:52] know your best curio setup for delves,

[00:54] go ahead and click the link at the top

[00:56] of the video. And now, starting with our

[00:58] C-tier class, who are known to struggle

[01:00] solo, first goes to our arms warrior. A

[01:04] strong choice here, but they have weak

[01:07] self-healing. They do have victory rush,

[01:09] which is situational, and they have

[01:11] second wind, but it's slow and passive.

[01:14] If you're taking constant damage, you

[01:17] can't recover fast enough, and you'll

[01:18] struggle with big pulls.

[01:21] Our next C-tier class goes to our frost

[01:23] [music] mage. I know this may surprise

[01:25] you, but although frost does great in

[01:28] other content, delves does isn't their

[01:30] strongest suit. They have no real

[01:32] sustain. They have ice barrier and an

[01:36] ice block defensive, which prevents

[01:38] damage, but when it runs out, you don't

[01:40] recover from it. Frost isn't weak,

[01:43] they're just built around slowing,

[01:45] kiting, and controlling space. And the

[01:47] problem with this is delves often force

[01:51] tight areas, multiple enemies, and

[01:54] [music] constant pressure. And once cool

[01:56] downs are down, you're exposed.

[01:59] And on to our next C-tier class, goes to

[02:02] our marksmanship hunter. They have great

[02:05] damage and a pet. However, marksmanship

[02:08] pets aren't built to tank long-term.

[02:11] Redirection gives you a tank for a few

[02:13] seconds, but it doesn't solve the core

[02:15] problem of surviving the entire fight.

[02:17] Once it ends, the enemies go back to

[02:20] you. So, while redirection makes

[02:22] marksmanship feel better, it's still

[02:25] C-tier for efficiency, and maybe B-tier

[02:28] if played very carefully. And now, for

[02:30] the B-tier classes, these are viable,

[02:33] but less forgiving. So, first, we got

[02:36] our fury warrior.

[02:39] They have good sustainability, but they

[02:41] require constant uptime. It falls off if

[02:45] you lose pressure. So, this one, you

[02:47] have to be careful.

[02:49] Our next B-tier class goes to our shadow

[02:51] priest. Like discipline, shadow has

[02:54] strong healing, but a slower ramp-up in

[02:56] damage. They're safe, but not fast. Your

[03:00] bubble is not as effective as

[03:01] discipline, either, but you can switch

[03:04] out some curios, like using mantle of

[03:05] stars for an emergency bubble for extra

[03:08] survivability. And our final B-tier

[03:11] class goes to our restoration druid.

[03:14] Now, they are very hard to kill,

[03:16] however, you find yourself clearing

[03:19] delves a bit slower. But, in this case,

[03:21] like shadow priest, just using the right

[03:24] curios could change this outcome. Now,

[03:27] before I continue, be sure to stay with

[03:29] me for a very hot delve tip at the end

[03:31] of the rankings. And now, our A-tier

[03:34] classes. These are strong, but do

[03:36] require some skill. This one goes to our

[03:39] retribution paladin. For strong healing

[03:42] and great [music] burst damage. So, for

[03:45] the first time, they do feel like a tank

[03:48] with damage. Retribution has been very

[03:51] fun to play in Midnight so far, and

[03:53] their delve runs feel very bursty and

[03:55] lucrative, especially with the right

[03:57] curios. [music]

[03:58] And our next A-tier class, this one goes

[04:00] to our warlock. This one is off-spec.

[04:03] Similar to hunters, your pet tanks, but

[04:06] better. Additionally, you sustain with

[04:09] healing by drain life or using soul burn

[04:12] with a healthstone in emergency

[04:14] situations, which makes them a safe

[04:16] option in delves. However, the wrong

[04:19] pull, and you could become overwhelmed.

[04:22] And our last A-tier [music] class goes

[04:24] to our havoc demon hunter. This one is

[04:27] always fun to play for their high

[04:29] mobility and leech sustainability, and

[04:32] they provide one of the best rotations

[04:34] for fast clears. They're fast, [music]

[04:37] but requires awareness. And finally, our

[04:40] S-tier classes. This is practically easy

[04:44] mode. So, this one goes to our blood

[04:47] death knights. Granted, they are tanks,

[04:50] but they have massive self-healing, and

[04:53] it scales with damage taken, and they

[04:55] thrive in big pulls. If you die on this

[04:57] class, it's not the class. This is the

[05:00] best solo class in the game, no

[05:02] question. And our next S-tier class goes

[05:05] to our guardian druid. Yes, another

[05:08] tank, but they are currently the easiest

[05:10] class to play for solo content. They

[05:13] have a simple rotation, they're

[05:14] extremely tanky, and have consistent

[05:17] [music] healing. You can make mistakes

[05:19] and still survive. And not to waste any

[05:21] more time, onto our next S-tier class,

[05:24] this goes to our beast mastery [music]

[05:26] hunter. This is the safest range class

[05:29] for delves. Your pet tanks everything.

[05:32] You stay at range, and it's low-risk

[05:34] gameplay. Unlike marksmanship, your pet

[05:37] is built for tanking. You're basically

[05:39] never in danger. Valera is also very

[05:43] diverse with this [music] class and

[05:44] spec. You can have her heal, and you'll

[05:47] never die, or you can have her DPS, and

[05:50] as long as you keep your pet up with

[05:52] mend, you're just doubling damage

[05:54] output.

[05:55] And for our next S-tier class, this one

[05:58] goes to our discipline priest. One of

[06:00] the most underrated solo specs. The more

[06:03] you damage, the more healing you

[06:05] receive. So, stay bubbled, and you're

[06:08] basically untouchable. They're also

[06:10] extremely stable and hard to kill if

[06:13] played right.

[06:14] And now, our final S-tier class. This

[06:17] one goes to our rogue. This one is a bit

[06:20] tricky, because if played correctly, it

[06:23] definitely belongs in this tier. The

[06:25] power comes from control plus damage

[06:28] redirection, not raw tankiness. Tricks

[06:31] of the trade is your key ability. You

[06:34] redirect threat away from you and let

[06:36] Valera take pressure, enabling

[06:38] aggressive burst without [music] dying.

[06:41] Saps, stuns, blind, kick. Rogues doesn't

[06:44] survive by healing, it survives by never

[06:47] taking damage [music] in the first

[06:48] place.

[06:49] Rogue is one of the strongest delve

[06:51] classes in the game right now, but only

[06:54] if you know how to play it properly.

[06:56] If you want an easy, unkillable class,

[06:59] play blood death knight or guardian

[07:01] druid. If you want a high-skill,

[07:03] high-reward play style that can

[07:05] completely [music] dominate delves,

[07:07] rogue is one of the best in the game.

[07:09] Now, here's the part most people ignore.

[07:12] Your setup matters just as much as your

[07:14] class. Valera reduces pressure and

[07:17] controls fights. So, your best curio

[07:19] rule is to choose a defensive curio

[07:22] accompanied by a curio with sustainable

[07:25] damage. If your build feels weak, this

[07:28] is usually why.

[07:30] And now, if you're still with me, here

[07:32] is your hot delve tip that many players

[07:34] know, but there is also a lot that may

[07:37] not. So, you can streamline your delve

[07:40] runs so much faster by guiding Valera

[07:43] around the delve yourself. By simply

[07:46] using the ping system, you can command

[07:48] her to gather, stand by in specific

[07:51] areas, or attack a target if you don't

[07:53] want to pull aggro first.

[07:56] This makes your delve runs a lot faster.

[07:59] All right, so here is a final ranking

[08:01] summary for you. Understand that this

[08:04] video is not a guide on how to play

[08:07] these classes, but a simple ranking of

[08:09] the best classes to play in delves,

[08:11] which is why I went through these fairly

[08:13] quickly. Not all classes or specs were

[08:16] mentioned, because this was purely

[08:18] focused on most efficient delve runs,

[08:20] and the classes [music] and specs I

[08:22] ranked here were just worth mentioning

[08:24] more than others. Not to worry, though.

[08:27] Just drop your class and spec in the

[08:30] comments [music]

[08:30] and share your thoughts on your

[08:32] experience and what you rank your class

[08:35] and spec. So, give me a thumbs up, and

[08:37] subscribe for more wild content. Keep on

[08:40] grinding, and I will see you in Azeroth.
