InMists of Pandaria Remix,the latest limited-time eventforWorld of Warcraft, players are encouraged to return to the lands of Pandaria to level up new characters and earn a huge variety of collectibles and cosmetics. This isn’tMoP Classic, though – allDragonflightclasses, specs, and abilities are available.
Despite all the differences in actual retail, there aren’t many strong distinctions for each of theMoP Remixclasses ranked below – with all the new powers and upgrades available, the difference between the best and worst classes is pretty negligible. But there is one clear winner, and one that doesn’t quite match up to other options mostlythanks to its slow leveling speed.
5S-Tier: Pandaren Monk
Of all the thirteen classes available in retailWoW, there is one clear winner for which class you should play inMoP Remix:Pandaren Monk. Obviously, Pandaria itself is the homeplace of the Pandaren, and both the playable race and the Monk class were added with the original launch ofMists of Pandaria.
Pandaren Monks arefew and far between in retailWoW, and they are far from the most popular race/class combo so many expansions down the line. But inMoP Remix, the class/race combo feels right at home in the game’s far-eastern-inspired setting – and with all the new power ups and upgrades to the normal gameplay, the sometimes lackluster class is about strong with every other, too.
If you’ve never had a Monk before, or have been put off by the playerbase’s relatively lukewarm reception to it in recent years, give it a go duringMoP Remixto see what it’s all about.
4A-Tier: Evoker, Druid, Priest
Aside from the Pandaren Monk, which suits theMoP Remixaesthetic just a bit too perfectly, the differences between the rankings in thisMoP Remixclass tier list are very minor.
At A-Tier sits the Evoker, the Druid, and the Priest classes.
3B-Tier: Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Mage, Hunter
The B-Tier and, to a lesser extent, the C-Tier classes are mostly options that don’t fall under the category of Pandaren Monk or have particular reasons that make them stand out inMoP Remix. Evokers start at 10 for the first time, Druids break out of the Jack-of-all-trades box, and Priests are still capable of dealing the most damage, but that doesn’t make B or C tier classes not worth picking.
In B-Tier, we have Death Knight, Demon Hunter, Mage, and Hunter.
2C-Tier: Shaman, Warlock, Warrior, Paladin
The Shaman, Warlock, Warrior, and Paladin classes are ranked in C-Tier, which might make some think that they are not worth picking forMoP Remix. But the thing is, these classes just don’tparticularly stand out in revamped contentthat is meant to encourage players to try new things and play the game differently.
1Worst MoP Remix Classes: Rogue
Generally, you’re able to’t go wrong with your class choice inMoP Remix, but there is one exception:Rogue. Rogues are perfectly viable inMoP Remixthanks to the new Gem abilities, Cloak upgrades,and other systems meant to empowerplayers.
But leveling Rogues can take longer than normal because of the inability to deal lots of AoE damage – they are amazing single-target damage dealers, but you have to put in a lot of effort to level efficiently with a Rogue.
Additionally, with the lack of World PvP and PvP not being a major focus ofMoP Remix, Rogues' Subtlety spec is not put to full use. Assassination and especially Outlaw can be amazing in group content and Raids, but in the PvE world, Rogues have a harder time than anyone else.
Pick Rogue for the class fantasy, or if you want to try it out inThe War Within. But be prepared for the experience to be a bit arduous at first, as you figure out the complicated rotations and learn how to effectively take on more than a few enemies at once.
