70 Tier List?

Flaxy

Legend
Haven't played in awhile but im curious as to what's good and what's bad at the moment.
Any info would be great <3
 
From rogue pov the most annoying to play against goes like dk, boomy, protwarr, hunter, mage, feral, ww etc

In terms of overall class balance I agree with [MENTION=23001]Fx[/MENTION] list
 
It kinda goes like this:

Feral >> DK > WW Monk = Rogue >> Hunter > Warrior > Mage = Shadow Priest > Ret > Balance Druid = Enhance > Elemental > Warlock

That is a very interesting order.. I'd definitely have to disagree with where you put Enhancement though, with the correct gear and Echo talent, they can land back to back 8-10k storm strikes on you, have insane durability and of course their Maelstrom Surges heal for at least half their HP from what I've seen most of the time. Not as hard to take down as an Unholy Death Knight but definitely more mobile and bursty.

Other than that I'd say it is really close to being spot on in terms of class balance, although with the recent buffs/nerfs some classes are really starting to outshine others right from the get go.

This isn't about duels or anything though. I just don't think Enhance has any good comps aside from maybe Enhance/Rogue. Enhance/healer just doesn't have any killing power, because aside from those stormstrikes, they got nothing.

I don't think you give lock / ele enough credit, ele can be quite strong with alot of haste and procs on top of all the purging and interrupting you can do, and lock has dots that hurt and haunt burst (im talking about queueing 2s with a healer though)

The rest of that list is pretty accurate though, balance druids seem kinda ******

Nobody is saying warlock or ele is bad. But the other mentioned specs are better.
 
Us boomkins are garbage now compared to MoP. At 70 at least.

You should get spellfire&whitemend gear and see how ''garbage'' moonkins are. Their main issue is that they don't have any comp to play besides moonkin/rogue, but that's always been the case for moonkins at lvl70. It's what happens when you don't have a reliable CC (read: cyclone).

It's a little different now. We dont have instant casts like we use to.. changes A LOT more than you'd believe. If we cant get away from say, a feral or rogue, we'll just die because we cant cast anything.

only reason why boomie doesn't work now is because treants cant solo anymore
 
not like it used to be in MoP lol boomies are pretty worthless atm dont even see them in arena anymore
Idk what you're talking about. Boomies have the sickest burst and utility of any casters atm. The only thing they are lacking compared to shadow priests (which are the second best casters) is the CC. But they still have spammable instant roots+snares and a silence.
I don't know how you can even call boomies worthless and say that you haven't seen them in arena in the same sentence.

Boomies suffer the same problem that a lot of other specs suffer in this bracket: nobody good is playing one. On EU we have two decent at best boomies, and that's it.

It's because you CANT play one good now. You truly dont have enough burst to kill a healer anymore and you can't get casts off vs DECENT players.

Boomies have the highest burst of any casters in the bracket. If you're not doing good burst I see two options: either you're playing wrong or gearing wrong. How is boomies having to cast to burst any different from shadow priests or warlocks?
I'll tell you how it's different: shadow priests and warlocks don't have near the same kiting potential. It's way easier getting casts off against melees as a boomkin than any other caster in the bracket. And in a bracket mainly dominated by melees (ferals,dks,rogues,ww,etc), that's not a bad thing.

I'd like to see your armory before you complain about boomie damage again.
