In this tier list for Burning Crusade Classic, we suggest a ranking of the best specializations in version 2.5.1 of the game, as well as the best arena compositions in 2v2 and 3v3.
This tier list covers DPS and healing in arenas exclusively, as tanking is not very common in this game mode.
For a tier list dedicated to the best specializations in PvE, check out this link.
All this information comes from our memories, from our time spent on the Burning Crusade Classic Beta, and from multiple community sources that we consider reliable.
- Rank S: Excellent composition, surpassing most other existing compositions.
- Rank A: Good composition, efficient and appreciated.
- Rank B: A solid composition, but may have difficulty finding winning matches. Definite potential in the hands of excellent players.
- Rank C: Weak composition with little chance of reaching heights -- but anything is possible!
