Mythic+ DPS Rankings: A Tier List for The War Within (Patch 11.0.5 / Season 1) (2024)

1.

About the Tier List

This tier list is NOT FINAL; it will change and will be updatedas often as necessary prior and during The War Within Mythic+ Season 1. There areoften moments of tier set and class tuning, as well as talent changes andsecondary stat scaling that will impact the placement of the specs.

I am Petko, a competitive Mythic+ player, known to be pushingthe boundaries of High Mythic+ with several World first andEurope first rankings among past seasons on multiple classes. I have workedhard on preparing for Season 1 of The War Within, spending numerous hours per dayexamining each and every spec in a dungeon environment on Beta. This Tier listwill continue to be updated as much as it requires over the course ofThe War Within and it will also focus on what the "meta" will look likeas it stabilizes. Along the way, this Tier list will also be supported byvarious professional Mythic+ players with high credibility in the community,theorycrafters across all specializations, and my own empirical evidence.

To begin with, this Tier list will exclusively focus on the firstSeason of Mythic+ in The War Within. There will be noWarcraft Logs rankings addednor simulation data for the majority of the classes and specs. As a result, thisTier list will be solely based on empirical evidence of the current state of theclasses' performance in Mythic+ from my own point of view and the point ofview of the group of players testing those classes who are among the bestrepresentatives of the specs in the community. Moreover, this Tier list willtake into consideration every impactful class change and tier set tuning beforeand after the start of the season.

It is important to note that opinions might vary and that is completely okay,but remember to be respectful when providing feedback as the sole purpose ofthis tier list is to help the WoW community with their choice of main or alteach season.

1.1.

Criteria of the Tier List

This tier list was created based on the strength of each DPS specializationthroughout the entirety of our Beta testing. The rankingsare determined by the toolkit and raw damage each class provides to Mythic+ groups.To fully understand the rankings, it's important to understand thedifference between each damage profile and the significance/sync of each class's toolkitwith other party members. Lastly, different dungeons require different sets of damage patterns;some require more single-target, while others require you to have much morefocused AoE damage; all of this can bump some classes higher than others:

  • Damage is the most important major factor to rank the DPS classes: mass AoE,burst AoE, sustain AoE, single-target, 2-target, 3-target, and spread-cleavedamage are among the types of damage profiles we examine.
  • Classes with unique party-wide buffs will always be rewarded. an exampleof such is Druid's Mythic+ DPS Rankings: A Tier List for The War Within (Patch 11.0.5 / Season 1) (1) Mark of the Wild.
  • Classes with high survivability, self-sustain, or immunities will addan additional value to the rankings.
  • Another feature worth mentioning is the importance of priority-target damage andfunnel damage, often undervalued in Mythic+, which speeds up the whole dungeon ifexecuted correctly. Specs can earn extra "points" by having such a damage profile.

1.2.

A Final Warning

  • It is incredibly important to emphasize that just because a DPSspecialization is low in the tier list; it does not mean that you should ignoreit completely. Any class can perform well if you put the time to learn it,some just do it with less effort.
  • For the vast majority of cases, you should choose to bring the better player,not the better specialization. That does not mean you never need to think aboutyour Mythic+ group composition or disregard the meta, just that most of thetime, player skill will be more important than the difference between classes
  • Remember that this tier list is based on casual/intermediate key levels as the average;some specializations gain significantly more value on the higher-end bracket compared to thelower-end bracket because of their damage profile.
  • This tier list, unlike many others, is constant; someclass's placements will go up or down depending on key level, group composition,affix combinations or dungeon differences. We will continue toupdate this tier list every time there is a change;

Frost Death Knight

Patch 11.0.5 update: Frost Death Knightreceived healthy buffs to their Deathbringer Hero Talents, which will ultimatelyput them in a much better state following the patch release. Not only do they have one ofthe strongest bursts, but their sustained damage also appearsto be in better shape. In addition, their single-target will rapidly improve, as well as,their already best priority-target damage. Overall,we are quite happy with the performance of Frost Death Knight, and we considerthem to be the current best DPS choice.

Assassination Rogue

Patch 11.0.5:Assassination Rogue currently has one of the strongest damage profilesacross all DPS specs. Their priority-target and AoE damagewill continue to be one of the strongest going into the second half of Season 1. Theirutility remains excellent, and they will have an even stronger defensive profile.Overall, we believe Assassination Rogue will perform better in higher-level keys,where mobs live longer, but still not to be underestimated in lower-level keys,where they will do better than before. To conclude, one of the highest damage profilesin the game, combined with great utility and durability.

"Best" Candidates

Arcane Mage

Patch 11.0.5 update: Arcane Mageburst and sustained single target will remain one of the best, as well as retaining theirunique damage on demand AoE profile. Just like any Mage spec, they have some of the bestparty-wide utility and mob control, and on top of this, they are one of the mostdurable specs in the game. The rankings of Arcane can fluctuate depending onthe key level, as well as being one of the key features of creating the "god-comp"together with Augmentation Evoker.

This spec goes to the Top-Tier once you play with a "God-Comp."

Balance Druid

Patch 11.0.5 update:Balance Druid is one of the specs that has seen the most changesthroughout Patch 11.0.5 PTR patch, leading to the second half of Season 1.Although this spec may not appear impressive in lower-end keys, it becomes increasinglyformidable as the key level increases. If you use your cooldowns effectively in Mythic+,you can achieve exceptional damage, primarily in AoE scenarios. In addition,you will have better survivability in the The War Within expansion while retainingyour valuable utility. Overall, after the most recent changes to the specialization, webelieve they will still be one of the best Ranged options in Mythic+.

3.10.1.

Cons

It takes some time for the spec to ramp up before it can cause significant damage.This means that the performance of the Balance Druid will improve asthe mobs live longer.

Unholy Death Knight

Patch 11.0.5 update: Unholy Death Knightwill continue to be in a great shape, with amazing single-target damage, whileretaining its signature strong AoE burst and a good sustained damage profile.Overall, we are happy with the performance of Unholy Death Knight and wewill monitor for further changes.

3.11.1.

Cons

The biggest drawback of this specialization is that you can only fully unleashits maximum potential by perfectly managing your big cooldowns, which is onlypossible when playing with a pre-made group. The ramp-up for the exceptionallystrong AoE profile must be planned to get the most out of the specialization.

Previously one of the weakest specs, they are now in a much better shape, withmuch more flexibility in builds — a strong single-target build, amazing hybrid options,and heavy AoE if needed.

Fire Mage

Patch 11.0.5 update: Fire Magewill remain a decent choice throughout the second half of Season 1. Their single targetwill be decent, while being significantly better in AoE damage. Although just like everyMage spec so far, they have one of the best group-wideMythic+ utilities but still require some time to ramp up (especially if you are playingMythic+ DPS Rankings: A Tier List for The War Within (Patch 11.0.5 / Season 1) (199) Mastery: Ignite) before they achieve their full damage. Hence why we alwaysrecommend considering this spec highly for higher-level keys.

Shadow Priest

Patch 11.0.5 update: Shadow Priestreceived close to no relevant changes in the upcoming patch, but rather quality oflife updates. They will still retain their greatdamage profile, which excels in both AoE and single-target/priority-target damage.This will continue to be the case, although not to the same extreme performancethey had in the last few seasons. Their utility and defensiveness remain strong,which is positive for the spec as both factors are considered valuable. Overall, weexpect their performance to only improve the higher the key goes, as the"ramp-up" playstyle of voidform requires the non-boss enemies to live longerthan a few short seconds.

3.16.1.

Cons

Not as competitive of a DPS on the lower level keys due to a "ramp-up"playstyle, but if the key is high enough and gives the right group composition,this spec will rise to one of the best Ranged candidates this season.

Sadly, the rotation has not changedmuch as the newly introduced Hero Talents are quite disappointing. After the most recentbuffs, Subtlety Rogue damage performance has increased. Overall, we believe its siblingspec - Assassination Rogue is much stronger, which severely reduces the chancesof you being picked up.

Destruction Warlock

Patch 11.0.5 update:Destruction Warlock received barely any changes in the upcoming patch,leading to the second half of Season 1. Their AoE damage profile, especially during theirmajor cooldown - Mythic+ DPS Rankings: A Tier List for The War Within (Patch 11.0.5 / Season 1) (281) Summon Infernal, is still going to be their strongest asset.Single-target and sustained damage are both going to be decent and more in line with therest of the specializations. In addition, every Mythic+ DPS Rankings: A Tier List for The War Within (Patch 11.0.5 / Season 1) (282) Warlock spec is quite durableand has a great party-wide utility, which fits perfectly for Mythic+.

3.21.1.

Cons

The ramp up time until they do effective damage is long, hence why on the higher levelkeys, they will perform better than the low/mid level keys.

Patch 11.0.2 update: Devastation Evokerreceived a decent amount of changes leading to the The War Within expansion,followed by 2 brand-new Hero Talents - Mythic+ DPS Rankings: A Tier List for The War Within (Patch 11.0.5 / Season 1) (297) Flameshaper /Mythic+ DPS Rankings: A Tier List for The War Within (Patch 11.0.5 / Season 1) (298) Scalecommander and a new tier-set.

The performance of Devastation Evoker has been consistent throughoutthe entirety of Beta, leading to the first season of Mythic+ in The War Within,with quite a few rotational differences compared to how itwas in Dragonflight (depending on which Hero Talents you are going for+ during Mythic+ DPS Rankings: A Tier List for The War Within (Patch 11.0.5 / Season 1) (303) Dragonrage window). They have retained their unique Evokerutility, strengthening their defensiveness thanks to the brand-new Hero Talents.Their damage profile will retain its burst-orientated window, which will help your performanceacross different key levels. At the same time, also, unfortunately, keeping its maindisadvantage present - having 25 yards ability range as an offensive castercan be quite punishable. Overall, we believe that its sibling spec will take the majorityof the attention, and we will hardly see much playtime, but if anyone chooses to optfor them, they will still perform great as its damage can be competitive to the majorityof the DPS specs.

3.23.1.

Cons

Having 25 yards as an offensive DPS is quite punishable. Further damage buffsare needed to strengthen their sustained damage profile.

Fury Warrior

Patch 11.0.5 update:Unfortunately, Fury Warrior did not receive many changes in the upcomingpatch, outside of minor nerfs. They still retain their signature burst-orientated profile, butunfortunately their raw damage will struggle to compete with the majority of theDPS specs. With several sets of offensive cooldowns, they allow for amazing frontloadbursts across all key levels. Sadly, their Mythic+ toolkit remains mostly the same,with Mythic+ DPS Rankings: A Tier List for The War Within (Patch 11.0.5 / Season 1) (322) Shockwave now being easier to talent, which can help with further mob control.Overall, we expected more changes that would directly boost the performance of Fury Warrior,but they never came. Nonetheless, the specialization has short offensive cooldowns, amazing frontload burst,and at the same time is one of the easier specs to learn, which makes them a beginner-friendlypick.

3.24.1.

Cons

Outside of their strong Mythic+ DPS Rankings: A Tier List for The War Within (Patch 11.0.5 / Season 1) (323) Battle Shout buff, their Mythic+ toolkit is oneof the weakest compared to the rest of the DPS specializations.

Outlaw Rogue

Patch 11.0.5: Outlaw Roguereceived multiple changes leading up to the upcoming patch, which will result ina slight improvement in their performance. While they will retaintheir great consistent damage, unfortunately, they are still one of thefew specs that are target-capped. Their single-target will remain competitive,as well as their priority-target damage while doing AoE. The lack of burst is alsoanother issue the spec is suffering from, as that can be quite offsetting on thelower level keys where burst is important to capitalize on the lower health mobs.Their defensive profile will remain unchanged, and so will their amazing group-wideutility and mob control.

3.26.1.

Cons

Outlaw Rogue will still struggle in heavy AoE scenarios due toits damage target cap being present. In addition, the lack of a strongburst profile can hurt them on the low/to mid-level keys while beingmuch better on the high-end keys.

In addition, Haste scaling was added,which should dramatically help Windwalker Monk scale as gear improves,something the spec has always struggled with later in the season/expansion.

Patch 11.0.5 update:Havoc Demon Hunter received no changes in the upcoming patch, whichis a massive disappointment. Although their damage during cooldowns have neverbeen bad, their sustained damage is considered one of the lowest compared to allother DPS specs.
