| - Choosing what class to play is often easier than choosing your character's race. Please read class proficiencies to see what weapons each class may use.
* File:Ui-charactercreate-classes druid.png Druid
* Druids are probably the best flag carriers in the game. Bear Form is the second shapeshifting ability druids get (level 8) and proves to be essential in getting your flag back across the field with the current rise in over powered hunter popularity. The armor boost you receive while in Bear Form likens itself to that of a Warrior. Even better shapeshifting itself will break snare, root, and Polymorph effects. Not only do you have all of those great abilities, being a hybrid class you can also provide very good healing. While playing in PuGs you'll often find yourself capturing all flags due to your extremely high health pool. As of Patch 3.2, Travel Form is now available at level 16, making you even more valuable as the flag carrier.
* File:Ui-charactercreate-classes hunter.png Hunter
* Currently the most popular class in the level 19 bracket due to overpowered spell and talent changes from the last few patches. Hunters have the highest survivability rate due to their pets and ranged attacks. The ability to kite multiple targets for crowd control is also quite useful. Wing Clip and Concussive Shot will help keep your prey at a distance. Traveling with a group of hunters with a pocket healer more than likely will ensure a successful victory. Patch notes from 3.2 mention that hunter's will receive Aspect of the Cheetah at level 16, which means a 30% increase in speed (still slower than Sprint, Ghost Wolf, and Travel Form).
* File:Ui-charactercreate-classes mage.png Mage
* One of the squishy classes that can CC very well as long as you either have quick heals or great maneuverability. Frost Nova and Polymorph are two very useful spells to keep your enemies in check and in place. Please note though that [Minor Recombobulator], an easily obtainable trinket from Engineering, is frequently equipped by twinks without an AGM that will dispel polymorph effects from a friendly target and heal them.
* File:Ui-charactercreate-classes paladin.png Paladin
* Good dps and decent flag runner.
* File:Ui-charactercreate-classes priest.png Priest
* A priest is the best healer at this level. Your survivability is rather good for a clothie if you can crowd control with Psychic Scream and never let Power Word: Shield break. You'll want to do most healing through Renew which heals for 100 HP over 15 seconds (which can be enhanced with [Glyph of Renew]).
* File:Ui-charactercreate-classes rogue.png Rogue
* One of the best class in the level 19 bracket. As a rogue you are able to give large amounts of burst damage essentially making you very deadly. You lack many defensive abilities at this level, like Vanish, however still have Stealth and Sprint to get away.
* File:Ui-charactercreate-classes shaman.png Shaman
* New changes in Patch 3.2 have made Shamans even more powerful, especially considering Ghost Wolf form will now be available at level 16. Previously utilized for totem dropping, crap heals and minimal DPS, now Shamans have become more like glass cannons. They're able to dish out a lot of burst damage, snare you, and then repeat till your dead. Upcoming patch changes will make this class incredibly skilled flag carriers.
* File:Ui-charactercreate-classes warlock.png Warlock
* Warlocks have become quiet this DPS class recently. The combination of Fear and Drain Life makes you rather resilient against single targets. And all the DOTs that this class is famous for paired with the skill to keep your distance from your opponents will have you topping the damage charts.
* File:Ui-charactercreate-classes warrior.png Warrior
* This is what's stopping overpowered hunters at the moment with Disarm. This class is becoming more viable due to its many snares and high armor.
