It's hard to gauge hulk as virtually every version of hulk has a hugely variable powerlevel and even the weakest version hss achieved feats the strongest versions would be proud of. However by the most consistent portrayals of each character,:
Grey hulk- low herald, has fewest that far surpass this classification but those are outliers and this is the level he is most commonly portrayed at.
Professor hulk- mid herald. largely gets here dupe to his unbelievable damage soak, and is also stronger than grey hulk
Savage hulk: mid to high herald. Has probably the most variable strength out or the bunch, does have some insane feats but is consistently portrayed around this level.
WWH- high herald, has everything savage hulk has but starts off much stronger and is smarter and more focused. Healing factor also is insanely fast.
Mindless hulk that fought onslaught- low trans, this one is pretty clear cut id say. Did what at that point the combined effort of a multitude of heroes failed to do in physically overwhelming onslaught a trans- sky father level being.
Current WBH - Although many would like to believe otherwise due to their nonsensical prejudices against a fictional character, Current hulk is firmly within the Transcendent category. With hulk on this board, it is often two extremes, with either those who overestimate his ability greatly and propose the truly ridiculous or those who criminally underestimate him, and attempt to downgrade his feats on every turn using flimsy reasoning while simultaneously supporting characters that have the same basic power set and formative concept as him. In the case of current WBH, To put him anywhere lower than trans would be nonsensical. And yet he doesn't have the necessary powers and abilities to justify a placement with the likes of Odin,Zeus who could easily tuning him into a grape on a whim. Still, any character that is consistently portrayed and emphasized being able to accidentally destroy planets and the like without even making contact with them is above high herald. Strengthwise, current hulk is pretty much unparalleled in the sense that while other characters including his previous versions may have some WTF feats that could be said to be greater than what he did, those feats are certainly outliers that go far far far beyond the level they are consistenly portrayed at. Infact, those feats are so ridiculous ( and many times unquantifiable) that most people save the most ferocious fanboys don't argue with them because the repercussions of arguing with their full implications are, fights between guys with infinite strength who should simply be able to flick their opponents into oblivion. Hence the potential glaring inconsistency with comics precludes all but the most daring fanboy from attempting to use such solitary occurrences.
Current Wbh however was consistently shown as being a class above. His world breaker schtick was emphasised frrom day one when he began threatening earth with his footsteps and only grew from their. His final feat of annihilating a planet and everyone on it ( including class 100s and a high herald level being) as well as affecting its nearby moons, without even touching it in conjunction with betty is quite frankly physically far far beyond even the highest of high heralds at their most consistent portrayal levels. The fact is, that as they are regularly portrayed, many herald levellers would have died by just being within the vicinity of that hulk-Betty collision. A character who can kill heralds without even touching them isn't herald level. He is above that for sure.

Didnt have a problem up until this point
1. His footsteps werent what was doing the damage it was the gamma energy he was pumping off
2. You cant use the wishing well as a measure of consistent power since it was a 1 time blatant buff

1. IT was not the Gamma energy at all. This has been mentioned and re-emphasized numerous times throughout the series. Unless we are to ignore, authorial intent, and project our own prejudcie sonto that comic, there is no way that it was the gamma energy and not the footstep.
2. Im not using the wishing well incident as a consistent portrayal of hulk general bur rather of WBH specifically. I the few apperances he made, he was always shown as having that wordlbreaking capability. Heck it was the whole point of his name and that version of the character in the first place.
One of the Times it was mentioned on panel that it was the footstep that did it.

In the skaar fight Hulk did literally the exact same thing without moving at all.
Without. Moving.
Hulk is clearly moving during his fight with Skaar.

Thoom, Thoom, Thoom...an indication of stomping sounds.

err when was this? Im looking at the comic now ad not seeing this supposed radiation earthquake your are talking about. Anywhere. HEck in issue 610 the issue before the bulk of the fight, Hulk already takes a footstep ad we have a big closeup of his foot indicating once again that the emphasis is on the footstep.
