1. Solo Class Tier S - Mages
Mages are conveniently one of the best classes in arena as well. Some things never change and one of those is the strength of mages in PVP, their biggest strength overall is their well-rounded defensive toolkit - ice barrier and ice block allows mages to be really self-sustainable, especially when paired with their ability to kite melee DPS. With blink slows and novas at their disposal, they have a mobility advantage against almost every other class, this makes them exceptionally good in 1v1 situations where they don't have many losing matchups, especially since they can constantly reset fights with polymorphs and novas. In battlegrounds they are a force to be reckoned with having insane control over healers with polymorphs and counterspell giving their team a reliable way to establish control over nodes and midfield fights. And even if the mage isn't playing frost the threat of alternative builds must be respected, some may just play with a spec that puts talent points into presence of mind and pyroblast, giving them access to the infamous palm pyro combo. This build can easily catch players off guard in open world PVP and can be a super gimmicky way to win duels, just make sure you don't get spell reflected.
2. Solo Class Tier S - Rogues
Rogues might be the best class for PVP overall if we also include arenas. Their primary strength in any PVP format is obviously their stealth. With the ability to sneak up on players in world PVP they have the upper hand before the fight even starts. When the fight does start rogues have some of the best control and damage in the game. With plenty of cooldowns to fall back on they are able to dictate 1v1 situations incredibly well even being able to hard reset with cloak and vanish, these strengths carry over into battlegrounds where rogues play an important role in objective based gameplay, they are great at stopping flag carriers and one of the best classes for ninja bases allowing them to solo carry games when in the right hands.

Rogues might be the best class for PVP overall if we also include arenas. Their primary strength in any PVP format is obviously their stealth. With the ability to sneak up on players in world PVP they have the upper hand before the fight even starts. When the fight does start rogues have some of the best control and damage in the game.

4. Solo Class Tier S - Warlocks
One of the things that makes for a great solo PVP class is the ability to be a tank and although warlocks can't wear plate, they are some of the best tanks in the game. Although they can be a bit gear dependent and rely on high resilience values, warlocks have some of the best survivability in the game coming equipped with 20 damage mitigation with soul link and the ability to heal themselves with drain life. When you pair this with health stones and siphon life you have the makings for an incredibly durable solo class, this makes them great in 1v1 situations where they do well against almost anything that isn't a rogue, and in battlegrounds they absolutely pump doing some of the highest DPS possible by spreading AOE damage with dots. In battlegrounds you can even shift your spec to play a build with unstable affliction allowing you to deal even more AOE pressure while punishing healers for spam dispelling. In many cases though, healers simply do not have the Mana to spam to spell allowing you to gradually wear down the enemy team.
5. Solo Class Tier S - Druids
One of the key features of TBC class design is that almost all of your spells carry over between specs, for druids this means that they have life bloom no matter what build they're running, giving them one of the most efficient heals in the game. Even when specked Resto, they still have some really good damage with insect swarm and moonfire carrying in 1v1 situations. Their efficient self-heals and consistent damage is elevated by their unmatched mobility, which makes them formidable in 1v1 situations and unstoppable in battlegrounds. Their ability to quickly navigate the map makes them one of the most valuable objective based classes and allows them to solo carry games even without much support.
6. Solo Class Tier A - Priests
Priests shares a lot of the same strengths as Druids, though with 50 pound weights strapped to their ankles. With some of the best healing in the game, both disc and shadow priests are able to hold their ground in 1v1 situations. And even when things get sketchy, you can fall back on a reliable AOE fear to quickly escape your opponents. In battlegrounds, priests are easily one of the best healers with prayer of mending being able to efficiently heal in team fights, their healing is well matched by their damage with both disc and shadow being able to hold their own in that department. All in all, priests make a really great solo PVP class and if it wasn't for their limited mobility, they would likely be even higher on our list.
7. Solo Class Tier B+ - Hunters
Although they aren't well represented in arena, hunters do amazingly well in both duels and world PVP, this is especially true if they're playing beast mastery giving them access to the beast within talent. With partial CC immunity for 18 seconds, you and your pet turn into solo PVP killing machines doing some of the highest damage in the game for its duration. When combined with a ranged mortal strike effect and viper sting, you have more than enough tools to consistently beat mana users. In VG's the story is more or less the same, with every hunter spec being well equipped for different objective-based situations. Even when they are not defending bases or slowing flag carriers hunters can do really high damage in team fight, cleaving targets with multi-shot while draining healer mana. So if you're looking for a truly unique PVP experience as a pure dps class then hunter might be right for you, the only thing it truly lacks is a reliable self-heal, but who needs that when you can evaporate your opponents in a flurry of arrows and claws.
8. Solo Class Tier B - Paladins
Unless you're happy with hitting your opponents like a wet noodle, we highly recommend retribution for solo content. For starters, Paladins have some insane burst damage. Even without wind fury procs from their symbiotic shaman partners ret, paladins do some of the highest burst damage in the game being able to seal twist their enemies for nearly half of their HP. And with bubble to fall back on, they have one of the few true resets for 1v1 situations, you could of course try your hand at holy paladin for open world PVP but you might find your enemies confusing you for some sort of deranged NPC that looks like a power ranger but with no power and no range.
9. Solo Class Tier B - Shamans
And rounding out the BTR is our final hybrid representative, in any PVP situation, shamans are able to bloodlust their party this works well for solo content but is amplified in VG's where a bloodlusted group can quickly wipe out an enemy team. Their teamwide utility with totems and lust are unmatched by any other class. By themselves, shamans of all specs actually do some pretty wonky damage enhance obviously has its place in the damage department with its wind fury proc RNG, but even elemental is able to do some pretty crazy damage with elemental mastery burst. And if you're playing resto, the baseline damage of lightning bolt and your shocks is more than enough to fend for yourselves. The main thing that holds shamans back in open world PVP and duels is their mana bar which can deplete really quickly if you're forced to spam heal. But if you ignore this problem, shamans are quite formidable especially being able to fall back on ghost wolf to quickly escape fights and with shamanistic rage being one of the only true offensive and defensive cooldowns in the game.
If we put everything together, the best solo classes have some combination of high control self-survivability, good damage and different mobility options. If you're looking for the best class to main for solo PVP, we highly suggest Mages, Rogues, Warlocks or Druids, since they do well in pretty much every aspect of the game. Once again we know that a lot of you do more than just play arena so we wanted to keep you in the loop on how well your class will perform in other aspects of the game.
