Tarisland class tier list – Best and worst classes, ranked

Tarisland just launched globally, and, like with any MMORPG launch, everyone wants to know which class is the best. Although each class has strengths and weaknesses, a few perform better than others. 

Here are all Tarisland classes ranked.

All Tarisland classes, ranked

Tarisland is an MMORPG with many activities in which each class performs better than the other. For this list, we ranked all classes based on their performance in all available activities. As with all live-service games, things will change as the game is updated.

S-Tier Classes in Tarisland

• Bard – Tarisland may be one of the very few fantasy games where the Bard class is so powerful. The damage a Bard can do is ridiculous. Not only that, but they can also heal the entire party and provide Buffs. Surprisingly, they are also great for solo-leveling. We suggest you play this class before it gets nerfed because the amount of damage it deals is that great 
• Barbarian – Barbarians are often wild cards in MMORPGs. They are treated as mindless brutes who do great damage and not much else. In Tarisland, they can do incredible damage and also be fantastic tanks. They are extremely hard to kill and can provide the entire party with a melee buff. The Barbarian is the perfect class for beginners

A-Tier Classes in Tarisland

• Paladin – The Paladins in Tarisland remind me of Paladins in WoW Classic. They are jacks of all trades but masters of none. They can tank, do decent damage, and have great buffs, but they aren’t amazing at anything specific. It’s not that they aren’t fun to play, it’s that they don’t rank particularly well in any particular activity, except maybe PvP (because of all the crowd-control abilities.)
• Priest – Priests are great healers and decent damage dealers. Even though their healing could be considered S-Tier, their damage isn’t amazing, which is fine. They can also perform some really solid buffs. If you want to be a useful player that any party will welcome, the Priest might be the perfect class for you
• Ranger – The Ranger does amazing damage and not much else. If you play as a Ranger, you’re expected to be the top damage dealer in your party. It’s a very chill class to play because you can mostly stand still and fire.
• Shadow Swordsman – A bit more mobile than the Ranger but just as deadly. Shadow Swordsmen have to hop around a bit to get the most out of their abilities. We would have placed this stealthy class lower, but playing this class is so fun and unique that we just couldn’t.
• Mage – The Mage should probably be lower because it can’t handle a lot of damage, but that doesn’t matter when its damage output is so huge. Out of all the classes on this list, the Mage probably does the most damage, and if that’s what matters most to you, it’s the perfect class.

B-Tier Classes in Tarisland

• Phantom Necro – Phantom Necro does some decent AoE damage, but there aren’t many situations where this is needed. When it comes to healing, the Phantom Necro fares a bit better but isn’t as good as other healers like the Bard or the Priest. We have a strong feeling this class is going to get buffed relatively soon.
• Warrior – Warriors are good tanks and damage dealers, but almost everything they do fails compared to what Barbarians and Paladins can do. They provide buffs for the party, too, but again, nothing amazing like other classes. Warriors will likely be buffed soon, so don’t be discouraged from playing them if you want to.
