SBest
The dominant specs that define the TBC arena meta. These form the core of nearly every top-rated composition and have proven dominance across multiple brackets.
AGreat
Highly competitive specs with strong comp options. While not as universally dominant as S-tier, they excel in specific compositions and can reach Gladiator with skilled play.
BViable
Solid specs that can compete at high ratings but have notable limitations. Fewer comp options and less forgiving gameplay make climbing more challenging.
CWeak
Specs that struggle against the established meta. Limited viable compositions and significant weaknesses make high-level arena difficult without exceptional skill.
DOff-Meta
Specs rarely seen in competitive arena. While playable for fun, these specs lack the tools to compete consistently at high ratings in TBC.
Important Notes
- •Rankings are based on 15+ years of TBC arena knowledge, including original TBC, private servers, and TBC Classic.
- •TBC has a well-established meta. While individual skill matters, some specs are inherently disadvantaged.
- •Comp synergy is crucial in TBC. A B-tier spec in the right composition can outperform an A-tier spec in a bad one.
