For the easiest PvP class besides Hunter , most players usually point to Warrior or Death Knight if you want something straightforward for earning a season mount, with Warrior often feeling the more direct “hit things and stay on target” option. Public forum discussion and recent tier-list content both frame easy PvP picks around low-complexity melee specs rather than high- setup casters.

Best low-effort picks

  • Warrior : Simple pressure, strong uptime, and a very direct game plan. It’s one of the most common recommendations when people ask for a class that’s easier to pilot in arena-style PvP.
  • Death Knight : Also commonly suggested as a beginner-friendly melee, especially if you like sticking to targets and forcing trades.
  • Ret Paladin : Often seen as approachable because the burst windows are easy to understand, though it can be a little more timing-dependent than Warrior.
  • Feral or Demon Hunter : Sometimes mentioned as manageable, but they usually ask a bit more from you than the simplest melee picks.

If you want the easiest path

If your goal is mainly the season mount , I’d narrow it to this order:

  1. Warrior
  2. Death Knight
  3. Retribution Paladin

That lines up best with the “easy to learn, still impactful” theme in recent player discussion about PvP class difficulty.

Practical pick

If you already know you do not want Hunter, Warrior is the safest recommendation for pure simplicity. It’s usually the least mentally overloaded choice for people trying to get wins without juggling a ton of spell interactions or setup windows.

Small caveat: “easiest” changes a bit by bracket and patch, but the community consensus in the sources I found still points to straightforward melee specs as the easiest route.

Mount-grind advice

For a season mount push, pick the class you can play consistently more than the class that is theoretically strongest. A slightly weaker class you can pilot well will usually earn mounts faster than a harder spec you misplay under pressure.

TL;DR: go Warrior if you want the simplest non-Hunter PvP class for the season mount, with DK as the next easiest fallback.
