PvP tier list
PvP rankings must separate duels, small-scale fights and large battles. A class can dominate one format and feel average in another.

How to judge a tier list
- Does it show patch date and region?
- Does it separate PvP, PvE, solo and group play?
- Does it explain gear assumptions?
- Does it include party composition?
- Does it update after balance changes?
