1v1 tier list

[Thatoneguy]

My first draft of a duel tier list would look like this:

S: Rogue & Warlock
A: Mage & Priest
B: Shaman & Paladin
C: Druid & Hunter
D: Warrior

Hold on, I know what you're thinking 'but paladin reckoning lol!' and 'durid fit 4 fite n flag flight!'. Take a breather and understand the boundaries of the list:

The list assumes that classes are geared but without resistance sets, and do not use tools outside of their natural abilities such as engineering trinkets or alchemy potions. This list also assumes that each character starts the duel 'clean', meaning that warriors for example aren't already enraged or Paladins with full reckoning stacks. This list also doesn't include factors like lag, bugs or exploits that simply 'shouldn't be present' in a clean duel. Lastly, the list assumes that each class is played well. This is quite important because it takes a decent rogue to 100-0 a warrior through bleed kiting for example.

I'm the most confident in the placement of: rogue, warlock, mage, priest, shaman and warrior. The least in paladin, druid and hunter as I rarely see them duel. I think that these 3 belong in either the B or C category but thoughts are welcome.

how can you possibly place warlock above mage)

[Maggotfiend]

stopped reading after no engineering trinkets

Honestly, wow is very rock paper scissors-esque when its 1v1, so even some of the top dueling classes get bodied by the less powerful (rdruid vs mage, rogue vs holy/reckadin).
But if i had to make a general list...

S- Rogue/Mage
A- EleResto sham followed by Warlock
B- Shadow priest followed by Feral druid
C- Hunter followed by Paladin
D- Rdruid followed by Warrior

[Maggotfiend]

spriest bis tho

[Niko]

dwarf shadowpriest.
youre done.

[Killstick]

enraged or Paladins with full reckoning stacks.

Why are warlocks allowed to have pet up before the duel. WTF

[Halcyon702]

Survival Hunter should actually be at the top with mage rogue

[Arts]

dwarf shadowpriest.
youre done.

I thought disc priest > shadow priest but correct me if im wrong.

Also shockadin should be considered.

[Sham]

Pretty accurate list. Although I would put SL lock on top and lower rogue to second tier along with mage and priest. Geared elemental shaman is very strong dueling class too. He shits on mages and can easily win vs rogue
