Best Leveling Combos
Class combinations for duo and group leveling, ranked by the guides players published for them and the votes those guides received. Until the votes come in, the order follows how many guides cover each combo.
No votes yet, so combos are ordered by how many published guides cover them. Votes decide the order as soon as readers start rating the guides.

How combos are ranked
- Every published group leveling guide counts as a recommendation for its group: the author's class plus the partners listed in the guide.
- Combos are ordered by a confidence score over all helpful and not-helpful votes on those guides, so many positive votes beat one lucky vote.
- While the guides have no votes yet, that score is zero for every combo, so the order falls back to how many published guides cover each one.
- The specs shown come from the top guide for that combo. Other guides for the same classes may use different specs.
What to look for in a leveling group
- A group with a tank and a healer can take on elite quests and dungeons that stop most solo players.
- Two damage dealers kill faster, but usually spend more time resting between pulls.
- These are general Classic-style rules of thumb. WoW Forever talents and abilities may differ, so check each guide against the current talent calculator.
