What about Shadow Priest and Lock?

[@stevenpitera8978]

One thing on curse of tongues, Hpal gets around a 18-21% chance to resist warlock curses when you calculate the average resistance of a binary spell using 3/3 pure of heart and 70 shadow resist aura. Assuming the warlock isn't stacking spell pen on everything gem slot. This is like having the vanilla orc stun resist, which is kinda OP. And you can still hit 1300+healing in resil gear with 170 shadow resist turning that 18-21% into 40%. You also have 3/3 Blessed life which adds 10% more dmg reduction rolls to the 50% reduction portion of a non binary magic damage resistance roll (like dot damage ticks). It just shifts the rolls around so it doesnt violate 100% roll, and against binary spells it doesnt reduce damage (why some people thought it doesnt work on caster damage.)

[@pottyputter05]

Only skimmed but 70 pen is the average lock gearing direction and will be higher for some so that eats away at the buff

Very very nice meta dudes Rpal Tier A - very good bro. TY I am a paladin who took 2.1k in 2s Top Paladin 1 - 2300. There are 3 paladins on europe who took more than 2k+. Druid's standing AFC under the LIFEBLOOM. Shaman doesn't healing. LD WD - contra. Lock Priest - very hard. 0 sustained damage. No luck on the super damage for a minute - shaman without mana. Thank you. I realized that I'm a noob. I'm gonna keep learning how to play. There are no paladins anywhere, because probably just no one knows how to play. I'm sorry. B Tyer - Rog Feral - Top 1 team now. Shaman+War 2.4-2.5k Shaman - Mage - 2.5k/ Shaman Rogue - 2.5k (But these are not sets. It's not setup) - okay. Thanks for the top very objective!

[@bos7522]

That S+ tier is exactly why I rolled a Hunter. I don't know why Disc Hunt isn't on that list when it definitely should be, and will probably be better than HD in S1, but yeah... Mages, Priests, yummy yummy rating for a Hunter.

Isn't rogue druid one of the best comps later on? Multiple people breaking 2400 back in the day with that comp

[@Apparentt]

Surprised feral rogue was rated so lowly It’s actually got good matchups into every comp in the S+ tier, I’d just say it’s definitely very hard to play well and it will be quite rare to meet - that doesn’t mean it’s not a premium comp tho

[@ummerkasana]

I like 3s the most. It's the perfect balance between the cluster of 5s and the slow pace of 2s. Class imbalance shines more in 2s, that's why they removed the ability to get gladiator from it later on in the expansions. That being said... class imbalance shines the most in duels. All the major tournaments happen in 3s too. I also hate the 45 min healer/dps 2s games.

[@princesyx]

It’s a lot easier to play but people nowadays can play rmp to perfection

[@vantao9408]

I really hate that RMP and in 2s RM has been S+ since arena has been released. CC should share universal DR.

[@Helikaeon]

Nah, honestly they just need to bring the CC synergy between those classes closer to other comps. A universal nerf would be over the top and not needed. The trouble is that RM comps and RMPs have SO many different DR CCs they can effectively keep a target locked out almost all game. Also, because they have so many MORE outs when in trouble than most comps do, it means making mistakes is way less punishing for mediocre teams, who do way better as a result sometimes than more skilled less CC heavy comps. They literally just need to balance their CC synergy to be more in line with other comps, wouldn't take much, just identify one area of CC that could take a hit without completely breaking the comps competitiveness and it's fixed.

[@Helikaeon]

It's like how warrior has almost exclusively been THE top tier tank throughout WoWs entirety. Sure, other tanks have been balanced to be MORE competitive, but Warriors have always been top MT choice. Why? Because their tanking toolkit has always been more well rounded, and their survival CDs better balanced to be rotatable as a result too. It took prot paladins at least 2 expansions was it? To get an actually usable mid length cool down Wall/Oh Shit button, something warriors had innately from day 1 with 11 points in prot. Druids similar. Mainly this was caused by early Dev favouritism and not liking hybrids (no, genuinely this was a petulant thing in the gaming industry lol). As a result, they've never really fully addressed the imbalances left from the early days, instead they've just applied the minimum bandaids to keep people playing. Exactly the same thing with RM/P.

"leave your pally unable to play the game" Lol!

[@leonidasvagelatos3904]

I can comment on my TBC experience. I've been leveling 4 hours a day more or less, since I work and I'm married. I've done my best to grind as efficiently as possible and reached level 66 so far, but it's very difficult to reach 70, begin bg's, get good gear and play arena. You can't expect people to do so many and so complicated things at the same time, that's too much time invested. For people who reminisce the game, want to play pvp in general but have family's, retail is as foreign as speaking Chinese. It's strange, it's too meticulous and it has too many defensive cooldowns for each class. Instead of perfecting it as time goes by, they made it boring.

[@atbmts6]

Same goes for me man, I’m level 66 as well still. I feel my love for this game slowly dying which is kind of sad considering I’ve played it damn near 14 years now lol

I've gone over 2k with hunter / warrior and priest, mage requires just as much skill to do well.. theres big difference between " a mage " and a " real mage".

@@ntastan Lol I get you, but seems you misread or misunderstood my comment I'm a main warrior/hunter and priest. I find it much easier to do well as a warrior or hunter for instance and there's a lot less to actually do, but yes mage is strong, it's just not as easy as ppl like to make out. Hunter is easier and in many ways so is warrior, but it doesn't make them "better", mage is still better Those all sound nice but a rogue still wins everytime and good luck killing a resto druid in 1v1, an felhunter locks and also bm hunter completely counters everything mage has too.

[@Helikaeon]

I'm sorry but as someone who played TBC arena quite heavily back in OG, guys don't take this tier list as gospel. Let me elaborate; the top tier comps they've listed they aren't wrong about but they vastly undervalue the ability to compete of non-priest/Mage/rogue comps. Feels like a very biased list, which isn't what you want in a tier list.

[@chocrikir655]

You are kind of right for the wrong reasons. Your heavy arena experience from back in the day does not mean jack anymore, as the playerbase is not even remotely comprable to old days or even Pservers. Truth is: You will mainly see these comps listed here because everyone is minmaxing these days. You won't see many other comps in the absolute top % of the ladder, because if you are good enough to get there, 99% will get a team mate for their best comp possible instead of just playing whatever.

[@Helikaeon]

@@chocrikir655 the experience difference in general isn't as big a difference as you believe it to be, the game mechanics are no different now to what they were then, player experience won't change that. Funny enough people theory crafted and min/maxed back then too... But feel free to carry on with the passive aggressive tones bro, being angsty over someone's opinion just makes me chuckle

[@RedHmong]

this list is totally wrong wrong. I've never fought most of those S tier team over 1800 rating it was just WAR/DURID 90% of the time and 10% of the time sl/sl+pally at 2200+ its 99% war/druid.

[@bos7522]

Yeah sPR should be doing pretty well but it will all revolve around how popular Warr and Hunt teams are. sPR gets farmed by the S+ tier which is pretty accurate in this video, which is the main reason why it can't be higher up. If there's enough Warriors in arena, sPR will get free glad every season. @Midnight Blue Also, the Mutilate thing is probably referring to the old Tuska and Boozt comp. Subtlety is much, much better. Assa rogue has almost no sticking power and can't get nearly as many resets, nor peel for his sP as much as a Sub rogue. Remember that Muti means they have no Shadowstep, which means they automatically lose to any Mage or Druid team. Plus, not being able to reset just denies the big advantage sP has over Mage, which is dispelling his Rogue for restealths.

[@midnightblue1874]

@@bos7522 According to Boozt himself for Muti/Spriest combo Mage and Paladin teams were their hard counters, which were rarity on +2300 rating back then. I believe they were highest ranked ones 2700+ but there was also surprising factor in their success, no one expected it. I use to love playing Muti back in OG TBC, it was probably my most fun and favorite spec ever and also tried it again on private server and even though definitely has a lot of cons, man it is literally RDruid and Disco destroyer, it goes through them like hot knife through butter...very addictive😏

[@bos7522]

@@midnightblue1874 I can see an Undead sin Rogue absolutely deleting a dP in 1 Silence, but I don't think they're good into Druids at all unless it's against a HD team. At least not after all those years people have been playing TBC for. Mage counters both sP and sin Rogue pretty much all alone and it's not even close. Paladins will not be very common in arena whatsoever, sadly to say. Not until IQD opens and they get Vial of the Sunwell because they desperately need that to compete. I love that video, I remember watching it way back then and thinking how damn cool it was. I'm still to this day itching to make an sP alt. But the game has changed a lot since. There were so few sPR teams to begin with on AT realms, the most notable sP I can remember was Mystogan who got glad there pretty consistently but it was always alongside a sub Rogue or a frost Mage. sPR used to hard farm all the Warrior and Hunter teams on there pretty effectively no matter who their partners were, but often lost to Lock, Mage, and other Rogue teams. I mean it's entirely possible that sin Rogue with sP can clap all the Lock teams with such low resilience numbers, I don't have much experience with S1 at all so I don't really know how hard it'll be.

I admit rogue is hella good in pvp but they absolutely do not have the highest sustain damage. They are easily locked down and energy starved half the time. They have good decent damage while stunning.

[@comfi9722]

Sub rogues have by far the best uptime and consistent damage for the melee specs for the reasons the video stated. Gap closers, stuns, interrupts make rogues unkiteable unlike wars, ferals and enhance who do have some tools, but not the entire picture. You can't really properly lock down a sub rogue until you've eaten through his cooldowns, in which case it becomes an economy game where you hopefully have enough mana and stuff left to get you over the line. Like with life, one is none and two is one, meaning you don't have to stun or land a key ability on a rogue once because they'll always have the cloak/trinket you need to burn through it all and THEN be able to setup.

[@trentoningram6136]

@@comfi9722 cloak works? I haven't been resisted by a single fear while using cloak. I've watched streamers and they get hit all the time through cloak.
