Meta tier lists

Which class levels fastest, who wins in PvP, and which specs are best in dungeons and raids, averaged across the guide sites so one opinion does not decide it.

• Opinions, not data yet. The game is not out. Every list here comes from the beta (which stopped at level 30) or from level-60 forecasts and simulations. Raids open on 9 Dec; until then nobody has real raid logs.
• An average of 17 rating sets from 19 websites (26 checked, the rest dropped as copies or with no grades). Only one, Wowhead, is an established guide site. The others are guide and boosting sites, so read every average as "what the guide sites think".
• Last checked 30 October 2026. Next recompute: after launch week, then after the first raid week (9 Dec).

Each source grades S, A, B, C or D. We count those as 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 point, average them, and give the row the letter nearest its average.
