WoW Forever leveling tier list
No class has leveled past 30 yet, because the beta stops there. Up to 20, creators put Paladin and Hunter first. Mobalytics' leveling tier list has them on top and Sodapoppin broadly agreed on stream, Bigbillygames calls Paladin the easiest class to pick up, and NOHITJEROME rates Hunter top tier at every stage. Warlock is the pick for not dying, and Warrior and Druid have the slowest start.
The tier is Mobalytics' for levels 1 to 20 (Sep 23), which Sodapoppin went through on stream and broadly agreed with. Under it, what other creators said about the class, what Forever changed for it by level 30, and the times creators showed to 20.
- Mobalytics, on Sodapoppin's stream Levels fast on Judgement, Holy Strike and auto attacks, rarely runs low on mana and gets hour-long Blessings at 20. Sep 25
- Bigbillygames Very strong on the beta and probably the easiest class to pick up, and the Undead Paladin gives the Horde one. Sep 24
- Zikorik Found a Paladin far faster than a Mage from 1 to 12. Oct 2

- Mobalytics Rage is normalized, so big two-hand crits no longer pay extra rage, and 1 to 20 is slow and Rend-based until Victory Rush at 20. Sep 23
- Bigbillygames Still the slowest and most gear-dependent leveler, even with Victory Rush. Sep 24
- Xaryu Took a Skyborne Protection Warrior to 20 in about 12 hours played through Zephras Isle and three dungeons, and found Protection the most fun spec. Sep 30

- What is the WoW Forever leveling tier list?
- Mobalytics' tier list for levels 1 to 20, which Sodapoppin went through on stream and broadly agreed with, puts Paladin and Hunter on top, Warlock, Mage and Shaman next, Rogue and Priest after them, and Druid and Warrior last. Nobody has ranked 30 to 60 yet, because the beta stops at 30.
- What is the fastest leveling class in WoW Forever?
- On the beta so far, Paladin and Hunter. Mobalytics' 1 to 20 tier list put them first and Sodapoppin broadly agreed, Bigbillygames calls Paladin the easiest class to pick up, and NOHITJEROME rates Hunter top tier at every stage. Nobody has leveled past 30 yet, so 30 to 60 is still open.
- What is the slowest leveling class in WoW Forever?
- Warrior and Druid sit at the bottom of Mobalytics' 1 to 20 list. Warrior rage no longer spikes on big crits, so the early levels are slow until Victory Rush at 20, and a Druid's Wrath and Moonfire hit weakly before Cat Form at 20. Bigbillygames still calls Warrior the slowest and most gear-dependent leveler.
- Which class is best for not dying?
- Warlock, by most accounts. The Voidwalker at 10 holds threat and Fear, Healthstones and Drain Life keep a Warlock alive, and Kargoz calls Affliction the fastest and safest Warlock spec. Bigbillygames names Warlock or Paladin for players who hate dying, and Mobalytics calls Priest slow but very safe.
- What is the best solo class in WoW Forever?
- Creators point to the pet classes. Hunter pets hold threat and rarely need feeding, and the Voidwalker makes a Warlock very hard to kill from level 10. Paladins rarely run out of mana and heal themselves.
- Which classes can each race be in WoW Forever?
- A Human can be a Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Mage and Warlock. An Orc can be a Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Shaman, Mage and Warlock. A Dwarf can be a Warrior, Paladin, Hunter, Rogue, Priest and Shaman. A Night Elf can be a Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest and Druid. An Undead can be a Warrior, Paladin, Rogue, Priest, Mage and Warlock. A Tauren can be a Warrior, Hunter, Shaman and Druid. A Gnome can be a Warrior, Rogue, Priest, Mage and Warlock. A Troll can be a Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Priest, Shaman, Mage and Warlock. A High Order Skyborne can be a Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Mage and Druid. A Windshaper Skyborne can be a Warrior, Hunter, Rogue, Shaman and Druid.
- Does the BoF Guide cover every class?
- Yes. Its free routes to 30 carry each class's quests and trainer visits, and every class has a leveling guide on this site with what it learns and its class quests on the way.
