WoW The War Within Season 3 Raid Class Ranks: Which Are Best For The Team?

Posted: Aug 08, 2025 Views: 102

World of Warcraft: The War Within Season 3 will begin, and the biggest challenge in Patch 11.2 is Manaforge Omega raid. This raid offers five difficulties: Story Mode, Raid Finder, Normal, Heroic, and Mythic. To get the best gear in Phase 3, you'll need to tackle the highest difficulty.

However, as a large-scale multiplayer raid, even on Normal difficulty, defeating eight bosses in a row is quite challenging. Not only must you have the best gear, but the other raid members must also be able to deal enough damage or withstand enough damage.

DPS, Tank, and Healer: Any issue can ruin your entire team in Manaforge Omega raid, so the safest approach is to use the currently strong classes.

WoW The War Within Season 3 Raid Class Ranks: Which Are Best For The Team?

DPS Ranks

  • Shadow Priest (S Tier)

Although it offers a lot of DPS classes, Shadow Priest is the only class in S Tier with the highest DPS. This class is ranked S because it balances both AoE and single-target damage, offers decent defense, and can buff the team, making it a versatile class. While its damage output isn't the highest, its valuable role on the team is crucial.

  • Elemental Shaman (A Tier)
  • Demonology Warlock (A Tier)
  • Devastation Evoker (A Tier)
  • Frost Mage (A Tier)
  • Windwalker Monk (A Tier)
  • Unholy Death Knight (A Tier)
  • Frost Death Knight (A Tier)

Tier A classes are the workhorses of the raid, dealing significant single-target damage. Their specialization also provides them with a degree of damage absorption or self-healing, helping to alleviate the pressure on tanks and healers.

  • Beast Mastery Hunter (B Tier)
  • Arcane Mage (B Tier)
  • Affliction Warlock (B Tier)
  • Havoc Demon Hunter (B Tier)
  • Fire Mage (B Tier)
  • Augmentation Evoker (B Tier)
  • Retribution Paladin (B Tier)
  • Destruction Warlock (B Tier)
  • Fury Warrior (B Tier)
  • Enhancement Shaman (B Tier)
  • Survival Hunter (B Tier)
  • Marksmanship Hunter (B Tier)
  • Assassination Rogue (B Tier)
  • Subtlety Rogue (B Tier)
  • Outlaw Rogue (B Tier)
  • Feral Druid (B Tier)

B Tier classes are numerous and, while they can complete most raids, they fall short of Tier A and Tier S classes in terms of damage cap and utility. If you have enough WoW The War Within gold, you can craft potions and obtain rare items, which may help make up some of the difference.

  • Arms Warrior (C Tier)
  • Balance Druid (C Tier)

Both Arms Warrior and Balance Druid are classic classes, but their damage cap and utility generally lag behind other classes.

Healer Ranks

  • Mistweaver Monk (S Tier)

Similar to the DPS classes, the top-ranked healer is Mistweaver Monk. After the patch, Mistweaver Monk can now use Crash of Fallen Storms to grant a large amount of skill haste, allowing it to heal more quickly. In most standard dungeons and raids, Mistweaver Monk's healing is excessive.

Another reason why Mistweaver Monk is a good healer in the S Tier is its good mobility, allowing it to avoid boss AoE spells and avoid being killed easily in combat.

Also, if the player is experienced and the raid's healing pressure is low, Mistweaver Monk can serve as a DPS and deal decent damage.

  • Holy Priest (A Tier)

Holy Priest is the only healer in A Tier. As a classic healer, its placement in this position is unsurprising. Besides providing healing for the team, Holy Priest also offers some damage reduction and shielding, making it highly versatile.

However, Holy Priest has significant drawbacks: its lack of mobility requires timely dodging of boss abilities. Furthermore, Holy Priest's primary use is in raids; other areas, such as farming WoW The War Within gold and PvP, are relatively limited.

  • Discipline Priest (B Tier)
  • Restoration Druid (B Tier)
  • Preservation Evoker (B Tier)
  • Restoration Shaman (B Tier)

B Tier can handle team healing and damage reduction duties, but the specific healing range and shield strength are somewhat different from the two previous healing classes.

  • Holy Paladin (C Tier)

In previous patches, Holy Paladin was a must-have in every raid due to its practicality. However, in Patch 11.2, Holy Paladin has fallen significantly behind in both healing and damage. (Yes, healers do need to shoulder some DPS responsibilities.)

However, Holy Paladin remains highly useful, and if you've traded items like potions and toys with your WoW The War Within gold, Holy Paladin can still play an important role in raids.

Tank Ranks

  • Protection Paladin (A Tier)
  • Blood Death Knight (A Tier)
  • Protection Warrior (A Tier)
  • Brewmaster Monk (A Tier)

For tank players, this is undoubtedly a very balanced patch, with most tank classes able to play their roles. Protection Paladin provides irreplaceable raid buffs, while Blood Death Knight can withstand a lot of damage and rarely dies in a raid. Protection Warrior's damage output is outstanding, and Brewmaster Monk also provides top-tier raid buffs.

  • Vengeance Demon Hunter (B Tier)
  • Guardian Druid (B Tier)

Despite being ranked in B Tier, both tanks offer decent playability. Vengeance Demon Hunter offers both DPS and defense, but it struggles to balance both in raids. Guardian Druid, on the other hand, is less practical, but its single-target damage is quite good, and its Mark of the Wild ability can be quite useful.

This is a general overview of the various classes in WoW: The War Within Season 3. Each class is generally well-balanced, without major flaws.
