Azeroth Survivors Tier List (v0.110)

The best Azeroth Survivors class depends on the question. Paladin is the beginner clear. Warlock has the highest published clear score and the low survivability that makes it a poor first hero. This page keeps those boards apart. Nothing here moved on a confirmed 0.110.0 patch.

How the ranks are made

Four readings, not one blended vibe. Survival is the published survivability index. Clear is the published clear score. Boss value is whether the capstone still hits a single target after the pack tools fall off, plus the shared enrage under 30% health. Ease is the published difficulty band.

There is no private run count behind this board. We did not play forty games and then hide the log. The numbers are a community clear-score table describing 0.110.0. The 0.112.5 client read on 23 October 2026 did not contain that score table, so the scores are unchanged. Class portraits are cropped from that client. Where a starter spell disagrees, the class page says so. Source: community scores, client portraits.

Band snapshot

S is Warlock and Warrior. A is Mage, Druid, and Hunter. B is Paladin, Shaman, Priest, and Rogue. Paladin in B is not an insult. It is what happens when the score board and the beginner board are not allowed to pretend they are the same list.
