If you want to get into PvP in Ashes of Creation, choosing the right Archetype and knowing how each performs can make all the difference. Of course, it all depends on the type of playstyle you want to focus on. Do you want to dish out big damage, control the battlefield with CC, or keep your team alive with strong support? Our new PvP Tier List breaks down which classes excel in large-scale battles and why.
Before we get into the details, keep in mind that Ashes of Creation is a skill-based game, and player skill will always matter more than tier rankings. But if you are wondering which Archetypes are the best in the current meta, this is the place you want to look!
What You Will Find in Our Tier List:
Our tier list ranks DPS, crowd control, and support roles based on PvP tournament results, group synergy, and overall impact in fights. Some highlights:
Bard is the go-to support thanks to its insane buffs, CC, and team utility.
Mage is an AoE powerhouse, capable of melting groups in seconds (if it stays alive).
Fighter rewards aggressive play, chaining abilities together for insane burst damage.
Other classes like 
Ranger, 
Cleric, and 
Tank all have their own strengths, but the tier list will give you a full breakdown of how they perform.
This is just the beginning, too. As Ashes of Creation continues its alpha testing, class balance will shift, and we will be updating our rankings to keep up with the latest changes. And yes, the Rogue and Summoner Archetypes are missing for now, but we will add them once they are available for testing!
