Delves are one of the core solo/duo progression systems in The War Within. With Brann Bronzebeard as your only companion in Season 3, your class choice can greatly affect how smooth your Tier 8+ runs feel. Below we’ve prepared a Tier List for Tanks, DPS, and Healers, with reasoning behind each placement.
Classes that excel in self-sustain, utility, and consistent damage/healing – making them perfect for high-level Delves.
Vengeance Demon Hunter (Tank) – Insane mobility, AoE control, self-healing with Soul Fragments. Safest tank choice.
Blood Death Knight (Tank) – Nearly unkillable with Death Strike. Scales extremely well in long fights.
Beast Mastery Hunter (DPS) – Pets do the tanking, allowing you to deal damage safely from range. Minimal downtime.
Shadow Priest (DPS) – Strong DoT damage, self-heals through Vampiric Touch, excellent synergy with Brann’s healer curios.
Restoration Druid (Healer) – Mobile, HoTs keep you topped while you DPS. Can turn runs into speed clears.
Great picks that shine in most content but might struggle with certain affixes or bosses.
Protection Paladin (Tank) – Strong defensives, off-heals, and interrupts. Needs careful cooldown usage.
Demonology Warlock (DPS) – Durable, steady DPS with pet utility. Can get punished on heavy-movement fights.
Retribution Paladin (DPS) – Hybrid toolkit with healing and strong burst. Lacks ranged options.
Holy Paladin (Healer) – Very strong in burst healing, great hybrid damage, but mana management can be tricky.
Mistweaver Monk (Healer) – Smooth sustained healing with mobility. Slightly weaker on high burst damage fights.
Still viable for farming Delves and Vault progress, but require more effort compared to S/A-Tier.
Guardian Druid (Tank) – Big health pool but lacks utility compared to DH or DK.
Elemental Shaman (DPS) – Good AoE and burst, but survivability is weaker.
Fury Warrior (DPS) – Fun and fast, but lacks sustain unless geared well.
Discipline Priest (Healer) – Can work, but requires high player skill and gear to balance damage and healing.
Every class can complete Delves, but S-Tier classes make farming mounts, cosmetics, and Great Vault loot much easier. If you’re aiming to push the highest Tier 11+ Delves in Patch 11.2, focus on self-sustain and synergy with Brann.
