Over the years, The popular MMO has streamlined its leveling process to push players into its end game faster. Despite that, there are awkward gaps in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight, where you're leveling fast without the gear to fight the scaling enemies comfortably. This issue is also exacerbated when you're playing a class that isn't the best with solo content.
Even when you're at max level, there are still many times when you'll need to solo quest, such as grinding the new reputations or weekly activities. If you're a player who ignores the massively multiplayer aspect of the game and avoids end-game group-based activities, playing as a class that's great for solo content will make your life easier.
6 Druid
Druids can switch to four diverse specializations encompassing all roles, including a range and melee DPS. Balance Druids can clear fields of mobs by spreading their damage over time (DoT) spells like Moonfire and Sunfire before nuking them with Starfall. Druids are fortunate to have many utility abilities that can help them survive. For example, Entangling Roots can lock enemies in place, and Prowl lets you turn invisible.
However, Balance Druids require skill and preparation to reap the full effects. Meanwhile, Guardian Druids can roll their faces on the keyboard to get the same results. Guardian Druids are excellent at pulling multiple mobs due to Moonfire while increasing their movement speed with Stampeding Roar. Then you can easily deal with groups by using Thrash and Maul without worrying about dying because of Ironfur and Frenzied Regeneration.
5 Warrior
For those who want to constantly press buttons without having to think, there's no better class than Warrior. Masters of melee weapons, Warriors are mobile classes able to jump in battle with Charge and Heroic Leap. Once in, they build rage before spending it on powerful abilities like Rampage, then finishing off low-health targets with Execute.
Warriors are also adept at shrugging off hits to the face. Arms and Fury can cleave down multiple enemies while keeping themselves healthy, but a Protection Warrior could do that without a dent in his armor. A Protection Warrior is the best class if you want to tag and kill all the mobs you'll need for the quest. When dealing with elite mobs, your single target damage, but you'll eventually take them down through stubbornness and attrition.
4 Demon Hunter
A Demon Hunter has zero downtime because of their low cooldowns, reliable sustain, and innate mobility because of the ability to double jump and glide. You'll have to try your hardest to die as a Vengeance Demon Hunter, as most damage abilities also help you survive. Abilities like Fel Devastation and Soul Cleave lets you strike multiple enemies while simultaneously healing yourself.
Havoc Demon Hunters share the same mobility and survivability but can also melt down mobs with burst damage. Eye Beam is a huge damage cooldown with a guaranteed critical strike to multiple targets; even without it, Blade Dance is your primary source of cleave.
3 Monk
Who needs magic and weapons when you can beat up your enemies into submission? Questing through the Dragon Isles with a Monk is a breeze, as their abilities are efficient and comfortable. Windwalker Monks dish out great damage with Rising Sun Kick and Strike of the Windlord. Faeline Stomp and Fists of Fury lets you cleave through multiple enemies, while Expel Harm and Touch of Karma grant survivability to endure it.
Monks can delete rares and elites with Touch of Death, a finishing ability that deals massive single-target damage. If you feel underpowered, celestials like Xuen, the White Tiger, will assist on your quests. Finally, Monks are a mobile class due to Roll and Tiger Lust.
2 Warlock
Warlocks are spell-casters who harness the power of dark magic and demonic minions. You'll have an easier time playing as an Affliction Warlock or Demonology Warlock for the leveling phase. The former stacks multiple DoT spells on enemies that chip at their health. During quests, you can apply spread spells like Agony and Corruption before using Malefic Rupture to pop those afflictions and deal bonus damage. You can safely tag multiple mobs because your Voidwalker minion can take their aggro.
If you want to wander the Dragon Isles with an army of demons by your side, you can spec into Demonology Warlock. You can summon multiple demons at the same time with abilities like Summon Vilefiend and Call Dreadstalkers. Afterward, you'll boost your summons with abilities such as Soul Strike and Demonic Strength to do your dirty work.
1 Hunter
Surprising nobody, Hunters keep their title as the best solo class in the game. Whether playing alone in Classic or retail, Hunters don't need friends because they can tame pets to accompany them on their adventure. The Dragon Isles are filled with useful pets that can tank and fight for you; pair that with a Hunter's unmatched single-target damage, and they can effortlessly kill elite mobs.
A Beast Mastery Hunter takes full advantage of their pets, empowering them with abilities like Kill Command and Bloodshed. As their pets are more than capable of handling themselves, Beast Mastery Hunters can tag other multiple mobs with their innate mobility to shoot on the move. In a tight spot, Hunters can leap backward with Disengage, run with Aspect of the Cheetah, or immobile enemies with a Freezing Trap. When all else fails, Hunters can Feign Death to drop all threats against them.
