VERY EASYBeginner Friendly

Specs that are perfect for players new to PvP. Simple rotations, forgiving gameplay, and straightforward win conditions make these ideal starting points.

EASYLow Complexity

Specs that are relatively simple to learn with minimal complexity. Good fundamentals will take you far without needing advanced techniques.

MODERATEAverage Difficulty

Specs with average complexity that require some game knowledge and practice. Not overly demanding but reward time investment.

HARDChallenging

Specs that require good understanding of game mechanics, positioning, and cooldown management. Mistakes are more punishing.

VERY HARDExpert Only

The most demanding specs in PvP. Require mastery of complex mechanics, precise timing, and extensive game knowledge to perform well.

Important Notes

  • Rankings are based on skill floor — how difficult a spec is to pick up and perform reasonably well in PvP.
  • A low skill floor means simple rotations, forgiving gameplay, and less punishment for mistakes.
  • A high skill floor requires understanding complex mechanics like diminishing returns, cooldown trading, and precise positioning.
  • These rankings are universal across all PvP brackets (Solo Shuffle, 2v2, 3v3).
Personal Preference Matters

Difficulty is subjective. A spec you enjoy will feel easier to learn than one you don't. Don't let tier placement stop you from playing what you love!
