S Tier PvP Specs for Solo Shuffle Dragonflight 2023

- Unholy Death Knights: Unholy staggeringly 300 rating higher towards the top end of the ladder, but within the domain of top 100 is actually 2400 rating, that is almost 1000 rating higher. So your likelihood of succeeding in solo queue on Unholy Death Knight versus Frost versus Blood insanely going to be a significant difference in your ability to climb the ladder with this specialization, definitely makes a lot of sense with its utility as well just to throw in a little bit of opinion.

- Havoc Demon Hunter: This class will be top tier for Solo Shuffle 2023 Dragonflight. 2900 close to 3000 rating and scrolling into the top 100, we're not even dropping below 2500 rating. So Demon Hunter is even easier than the Unholy Death Knights at climbing in the solo queue ladder.

- Windwalker Monk: Cutting in at almost a staggering 3000 rating, similar to the Demon Hunters. But it's not dropping off too fast for Windwalker Monk, you're holding a strong 2400 for the entire round, so it's 100 rating lower on the top 100. But it's top end players are around the same rating as Demon Hunters. Windwalker is as easy as Demon Hunter because the data says it is, so it's definitely coming in a little bit lower, but this is saying that Windwalker Monks are an S-tier spec just off direct cross comparison with the other specializations currently on the ladder.

- Shadow Priest: Coming in at 2950 and the top 100 is 2500. So a 2500 Shadow Priest is a 1500 Fire Mage, Shadow priest coming in as the easiest caster directly tied up with Havoc Demon Hunter.

- Elemental Shaman: It will all be seen 2900 on the top end and this does not fall off very fast, he could be a monster as the top 100 at 2300. So put into the S tier for climbing as an elemental.

- Demonology Warlock: 2952, not falling off too fast in the top 100 to 2400. D We got a contender for Shadow Priest similar to Windwalker Monk with Demon Hunter for casters and for melee, so Demonology is a lot easier to climb at the moment but there are nerfs coming, so this may change dramatically. Put him in the S tier is a great determination. 

A Tier Solo Shuffle Specs PvP in Dragonflight 2023

- Feral Druid: The next spec for Solo Shuffle PvP Dragonflight is Feral Druid, topping off at 2900 rating and within the top 100, it's currently at 2200 rating, 200 rating above the Frost Death Knights and Balanced Druids which is going to be an A-tier spec for climbing the solo queue ladder. 

- Resto Druid: It's the easiest healer, 2800 is the top end for this one and within the realm of the top 100 is 2350+, so definitely an A tier spec, probably bordering S, it is going to be a great spec for you to pick up in Solo Shuffle Dragonflight regardless of skill breakdown, because we it represented within the top 100 as well as the top end as well.

- Preservation Evoker: This one's topping off at 2861, similar to the Resto Druid, and as we get towards the bottom of the ladder about 2250, so a little bit lower than that of the Resto Druid which is surprising, so coming in about where Feral Druid is at the moment overall in terms of viability to climb, but Resto Druid being slightly easier.

- Assassination Rogue: Coming in at almost 2900 in the top position and towards the top 100 is starting to fall off quite a bit down to 2250. Assassination Rogue and Feral Druid very closely matched in terms of ease to climb up the ladder.

- Resto Shaman: Another healing spec, it's going to be the easier than the other ones. 2799 similar top end, definitely a bit weaker than Preservation Evoker, so definitely on the bottom end of the A tier.

- Destruction: Similar to the demonology Warlock and not falling off too far with 2200, and this might just be popularity down to 2100, definitely an A tier spec performing better than Affliction and getting pretty be close to Demonology after the nerfs that come in. Destro Warlock definitely one of the easier ones to climb as.

- Arms Warrior: Doing 2900 top end, not really falling off too fast, definitely a solid A-tier spec.

B Tier Classes for Solo Shuffle Dragonflight

- Frost Death Knight: Mesx is on top, but at a staggering 2672 rating and with Frost Death Knights within the realm of the top 100, are going to be aiming in at about 1944 or 1950 close to about 2000 rating. So probably about middle of the pack for Solo Shuffle or for your expectations.

- Balanced Druid: You can make it work, you can do something with it, 2700 rating top end, but as we scroll towards the bottom end of the ladder, so this is like new player experience towards the specialization. It's going to get a little bit tougher with 1800 similar to the Frost Death Knight which means we're going to be putting it in at about the same spot as the Frost Death Knight. And the viability to climb the ladder, there are outliers, but if you're new to the specialization it may be difficult otherwise your top 100 would be a little bit higher than this.

- Devastation Evoker: 2750 top end, moving down towards the top 100 is cusping around 2000 rating, a little bit higher than the Balance Druid, a little bit higher than the Frost Death Knight, wouldn't justify going into the A tier, it's not in that 2200 range, it's not in the 2900 top end range, but definitely is performing better than Frost and Balance so far. 

- Beast Mastery Hunter: This one is a real tough one, it is going to be performing in the middle, the top of the bottom. 2864 is the highest rated hunter in North America, moving towards the bottom of the ladder 2100 rating, so a little bit lower on the B tier at the moment but still actually better than Balance Druid or Frost Death Knight with them at 1800. So about 400 rating higher than that, it's close to putting it into as an A-tier spec hovering between high B to A with a very minor difference between them, maybe the cost cut off here will be around 2200 in the top 100 to get into the A tier. But BM Hunter doing surprisingly well considering Hunters to be taken as one of the weaker specs.

- Marksmanship Hunter: He is a performing better Marksman or Beast Mastery, we've got a Marksmanship Hunter at 2790 at the top of the ladder and moving towards the top 100 is around 2134. So similar but slightly worse, 2134 for the Marksmanship Hunter and the Beast Mastery Hunter was 2200, Beast Mastery is 100 rating higher on the top end and a little bit lower on the bottom end. So if you're more of a new coming player, MM Hunter is likely going to be a bit better of a selection action for you than BM Hunter. But on the top end, it seems like Beast Mastery is performing slightly better.

- Survival Hunter: 2868, pretty similar top end but the bottom end cuts off staggeringly fast as we move towards the top 100 only just barely cusping the 2000 rating. So survival Hunter definitely the most difficult spec for Hunter to climb, it's going to be the same as Devastation but lower than Marksman and Beast Mastery.

- Arcane Mage: This is going to be the easiest to climb spec in Solo Shuffle overall, top end 2900, very impressive and as we move towards the bottom 100, it starts to fall off pretty hard, so this is not a spec that easy for people to pick up, it's bottoming out, just a little bit below 2000 rating which is going to hover you around where Devastation Evoker was. This is easiest to climb for any level of skill.

- Frost Mage: It is somewhere close in between Arcane and Devastation.

- Mistweaver Monk Healer: It's already been proven by data that it is more difficult to climb as a Healer than any other role. He’s cutting up about 2721, so lower than the Druids and the Evokers in the top end. But on the bottom end, you're cutting out at about 2100 which is also about 100 rating lower. If you're at the average rating, it only becomes a more of a gap as you get to the absolute top of the ladder, so this is probably fitting somewhere in between the B tier.

- Holy Paladin: 2850 coming in higher than the Mistweaver Monk on the top end and move towards the bottom end around 2100, so towards the lower end Holy Paladin is not too bad of a pickup, very close and similar to where Mistweaver is.

Retribution Paladin: This is terrible in solo queue, very similar to the other specializations that we have seen like BM Hunter, probably a little bit lower, BM Hunter was 2100. Retribution Paladin comes in at 2150, so right around where Mastery Hunter is in the middle of the ladder with very similar numbers of cross comparison.

- Discipline Priest Healer: This is going to be the easiest to climb spec Solo Shuffle in Dragonflight 2023, which one isn't 100% data backed tier list. He’s coming in at 2800 as the highest and moving into the top 100, it's actually 2200. You're actually a higher rating on average than Mistweaver and Holy Paladin, which is pretty impressive top end is very similar if not actually performing better. So definitely one of the better healers at the moment in solo queue.

- Outlaw Rogue: Coming in 2600 ouch, a big cutoff on the top end, kind of similar to what the Balanced Druid was and towards the bottom end falling off pretty fast to 1700. So Outlaw is maybe one of the more do damage specs of Rogue, it seems much harder to climb. So this is coming in about middle of the B tier.

- Subtlety Rogue: This has been deemed like the most hard spec to play. 2750 top end Which is higher than Outlaw but lower than Assassination and it falls off just about as fast as Outlaw, with the top 100 cusping in just under 2000 rating which is a little bit better than Balanced Druid, better than Outlaw Rogue and better than Frost Death Knight, so coming in about middle of the B tier in terms of ease and difficulty probably somewhere where Survival Hunter.

- Enhancement Shaman: 2821 clean at the top but falls off really hard, immediately down to 2100, so this seems like a spec that if you're good you're going to be able to make it work similar to the Balanced Druid, 1900 a little bit higher than Boomkins, top end's a little bit higher than Boomkins, so coming in to B tier.

- Affliction Warlock: Top end 2789 falls off real fast, down to 2000 rating, a little bit higher than the Balanced Druid in both top end and bottom end, it'll be much harder to climb, but a little bit easier than Frost Mage, higher than Devastation with the top end, so PUT it in B tier. 

- Fury Warrior: Fury is easier to play than Arms down to around 2100, definitely somewhere in the middle B is probably similar to Ret Paladin at the moment.

C Tier Updated Solo Shuffle PvP List

- Fire Mage: 2600 top end, 300 down from that and the top 100 is only 1599. So far this is the worst overall, it's top end, not really staggering above a lot of other classes, definitely better than the tanks but you're 1000 rating lower than the top 100 Demon Hunters. So it's going to make a lot of sense to be slotting in the C tier.

- Prot Paladin: 2469, this guy has queued up a lot because you only fight other prop paladins and this spec is very hard to cross analyze. But 2400 on the top end, 1800 on the bottom end, so significantly higher than the other tanks, similar to Fire Mage, if not, actually easier to climb as a Prot Paladin than Fire Mage.

- Holy Priest: He is coming in as the most difficult healer to climb based off of the data that we have so far for solo queue.

D Tier Easiest To Climb Specs for Solo Shuffle Dragonflight

- Blood Death Knight: The first specialization which we're going to be looking at on the 3v3 ladder is the Blood Death Knight. Put him in the D tier. The highest rated player is currently 1925 and within the top 100, the only thing you need to get to be top 100 as a blood death knight is 700 rating, that means that it is incredibly difficult to climb as a blood death knight. You might want to reconsider if you're going to be climbing as a Blood Death Knight, it is going to be stupendously difficult to climb the Solo Shuffle ladder. 

- Vengeance Demon Hunter Demon Hunter: This specialization topping off at a massive 1800 rating which is the lowest so far and within the top 100 is not even getting the 700 rating, so even harder than Blood Death Knight.

- Guardian Druid: It got nerfed heavily, probably wasn't going to be strong even without the nerfs. Topping off at 1900, so far the highest of the tanks, but towards the top 100 is clearing 1000 ratings, so significantly easier than the Blood Death Knight or the Tank Demon Hunter. So coming in a little bit better but still about that 1K bracket, it's probably not going to be getting you into the C tier anytime soon. This can just be based off 100% data.

- Brewmaster: 2141 is the highest rated tank and in the top 100, you're only cusping out at 600, so apparently if you know what you're doing on this, Brewmaster is going to be a really good one to go for, you don't know what you're doing, you're going to be lower than every other tank. So probably somewhere similar to Guardian Druid in this position.

- Protection Warrior: Is it going to be the hardest or easiest tank to climb on the Solo Shuffle ladder? 2100, one of the higher rated tanks at the moment similar to the Brewmaster, and on the bottom end maintaining above 1000 rating which is actually a bit easier than a lot of the other tanks. You're not towards the Prot Paladin level, so put him in the D tier. 

So that’s the easiest to climb spec Solo Shuffle tier list for Dragonflight 2023. If you want to be going after transmogs or mounts or just raiding or just have an easier ride, or maybe you want a more difficult ride and a more challenging one, which PvP Solo Shuffle specs are going to be able to give you the journey that you're looking for?
