Accurate Tier List of Classes that matter at 39

[Chops]

Bis prot war in 2s was doing triple my damage as aff lock. Correct me if im wrong but devastate is doing 1.2k crits and is spammable + costs no rage/no cd. And prots dots are easier to spread/maintain than arms. And the dots are only slightly weaker than arms rend -minus last tick.

Deep wounds is almost 50% weaker and is cancelled if your opponent hits 100% health. It's a considerably weaker dot than rend in every way.

That said, I have no idea how hard prots abilities are hitting as I havent played a prot warrior in years. But Im not shocked that, in arena, they're able to out damage an affliction lock. They have pretty solid burst. I imagine they could be incredibly annoying in arena. But I saw a prot warrior in WSG last weekend and it was pretty laughable. But hey, maybe they were just worse than I am.

If you miss those days, just go build a true F2P twink. No linked Bnet accounts, no click and equip BoAs. Grind that shit out. I did it and truly enjoyed the "project" aspect of it. I mean, you gotta grind exalted with your entire faction just to get full BiS bags.

But there's no denying it's tedious as hell when you're just trying to get a toon built for PvP.

As for the tier list, I'd say its fairly accurate for the pug games we're currently playing but I'm not sure when we start talking premade.

And why prot warriors so high? I mean, they're annoying as all hell but then, so are fire mages. They dont hit like enhance, they dont have the spread damage of Arms or even really the single target pressure of fury. And they're so unbelievably boring.

Have like 10 of them, I am one of the original AP F2P twinks. And you're right, that's what drew me to it in the first place. unfortunately in pug BG's they are vastly underpowered. Also prot is very much underestimated.

That is a damned shame. I consider, quite often, just scrapping everything and starting over with nothing but a starter account. I like how much the restriction forces creativity. And its really weird but theres a good sense of accomplishment there too.

Anyway, yea. I was doing some maths and it looks like prot would be a helluva contender in an arena setting. I still dont think it's got the midfield presence of arms but single target, I imagine it could be... (wait for it)... (wait for it)... (wait for iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit)... devastating.

Got my bonus armor set ready. Guardian does higher single target DPS than feral druids. Throw them onto god tier as well

 

[Zpoon]

Considering disc has more burst than shadow i wouldn't consider shadow god-tier

 

[Eclipsis]

True shadows MB DP damage did fall off a lot between 29-39 but it made up for it in dot damage scaling. Swp and VT hit really hard at 39 giving sp pretty close to if not the most aoe and sustained damage of all casters. Yes I think they can top afflocks on aids damage.

Keep it that way so I'm the only one who knows how op mw is <3

VODs or GTFO

In a balanced game with heavy teamfight action, a Shadow Priest should easily top damage.

Tonight will be my first foray into 39s and I just finished gearing my MW. I hope you're right.

hard to beat f2p in summer 2011, but you can't go back. looks like there's some familiar f2p faces here though. i'm pretty excited, it was a great community.
