Mythic+ Best Classes

Here’s our thoroughly compiled WoW Midnight Mythic+ Best Classes tier list:

It features all specs that are currently available based on the tests and overall performance. S+ and S-tier specs show the best results in DPS, HPS, survivability, and group utility. With this tier list, you can prepare for WoW Midnight and choose the main for Mythic+ dungeons.

M+ Class Ranking Criteria

The WoW Mythic+ tier lists may change, but the factors that make this or that class stand out remain. We are going to use a combination of Damage, Utility, and Survivability to push high keys as criteria to rank specs.

• Damage. It is as important as it always has been. It allows you to complete the key faster. In addition, big damage output helps your tank to take less damage. Considering mass AoE, burst AoE, sustain AoE, single-target, 2-target, 3-target, and spread-cleave damage will allow us to make a balanced decision.
• Utility. In Mythic+, utility is something that allows dungeons to be completed more smoothly and easily. For example, Druid’s Mark of the Wild is an example of a class with unique party-wide buffs that are always rewarded.
• Survivability. Specs with high survivability, self-sustain, or immunities will contribute additional value towards the rankings. New bosses and trash deal high amounts of damage, and this tier list is about a combination of damage and survivability.

But before going further into Tier Lists, make sure to bookmark our detailed Midnight WoW Apex Talents Guide, as this new feature will show its impact on Mythic+ and Raids. Keep updated with us.

Mythic+ DPS Tier List

Below we have Midnight Patch 12.1 Mythic+ DPS rankings for M+ dungeons. We consider different factors, such as current patch changes and 4-piece tier-set activation, and also use Mythic+ Score from the official Blizzard leaderboard as a metric for evaluating specs.

S+-Tier

In the S+-tier, we have the dominant meta specs for WoW Midnight. Groups with these specs can easily bypass troubles and do better in every situation.

Arms Warrior

Arms Warrior was given a few rotation tweaks going into Patch 12.1, including a change to Colossus so that spamming Execute is no longer required to attain Colossal Might stacks, as well as a change to Slayer. They’re as useful as ever, and quality-of-life improvements throughout the tree make them tougher, which gives them a slight survivability increase.

Arcane Mage

Arcane Mage playstyle revolves around emphasis on Arcane Blast and a stronger Touch of the Magi, addressing one of its previous weaknesses — consistent damage output. These improvements enhance its overall reliability.

The spec retains its burst-oriented playstyle while excelling at priority-target damage during bursts. Arcane’s performance may vary depending on key levels, but it shines in higher keys, where mobs’ increased health allows them to endure the full extent of the spec’s powerful bursts.

It’s worth noting that this spec excels in mid-high level keys, where mobs can handle its full burst. However, it is also important to mention that it is considered one of the more challenging specs to play, as Arcane Mage is very cooldown-reliant. Many Midnight dungeons require movement, which is a huge problem for Arcane Mages. You don’t have to suffer if you’re trying to conquer dungeons just to get Mythic+ gear; you can just ask our team for Mythic+ Bundle with high chances to obtain some good items for you!

Elemental Shaman

Elemental Shaman has reached S+ Tier with explosive burst damage, priority-target output, and sustained damage outside major cooldowns. They also provide some of the best group-wide utilities like Skyfury. Coupled with serious damage, this is one of the best specs to play now.

If you want to improve your M+ performance on Elemental Shama without a boring grind and enjoy the passive damage increase of your minions, doing all the hard jobs, use our WoW Tier Sets service.

S-Tier

S-tier specs remain among the strongest options for WoW Midnight Mythic+ and sit just below the S+ leaders.

Outlaw Rogue

Nothing significant has changed for Outlaw Rogue going into Patch 12.1. The spec remains decent, putting out great, damage, though the target cap is often a hindrance in larger AoE situations. Single-target and priority-target damage is still very competitive, even while doing AoE.

All the same, the lack of burst really hurts, especially in lower keys where bursting low-health mobs is essential to complete the key in good time. Despite those issues, Outlaw Rogue retains its very strong defensive toolkit, great group-wide utility, and tier-one mob control that make it a good choice for most compositions.

Retribution Paladin

Retribution Paladin has climbed into S-Tier thanks to strong AoE burst, short cooldown cycles, and reliable priority-target damage. Its group utility also gives the spec plenty of value in demanding Mythic+ runs.

Retribution remains straightforward to pick up while bringing strong defensive tools. Devotion Aura, Lay on Hands, and Blessing of Sacrifice can all help a group survive difficult pulls.

A+-Tier

A+-tier provides great specs with huge damage and a fair combination of utility and self-sustain. They follow the S-Tier but slightly fall behind due to a minor decrease in performance.

Assassination Rogue

Assassination Rogue is entering Midnight Patch 12.1 with major changes in their tier position. Both their rotation and spec-specific talents are a decent fit for the current meta. Their DPS results in Mythic+ keys are more than good, and they can become a good addition to any group comp.

Demonology Warlock

Demonology Warlock now sits in A+ Tier, backed by strong damage and extra Demonic Core generation that improves mobility. They still retain their signature and useful Mythic+ toolkit utility-wise, and are still a very solid and competitive choice to pick up as one of the tankiest ranged DPS specs.

Subtlety Rogue

Subtlety Rogue currently sits in A+ Tier for Midnight Season 2 Mythic+. Its burst profile and Rogue utility make it a strong option in the current Patch 12.1 ranking.

Balance Druid

Balance Druid has nice single-target damage; their AoE output has dropped. The spec has one downside — its relative squishiness. With only one major defensive cooldown, surviving heavy damage can sometimes be challenging. However, if you play it safe, it can still be one of the best specs for M+.

Destruction Warlock

Destruction Warlock is an optimal pick in Patch 12.1. It is often associated with strong AoE, impressive single-target damage, and strong sustained output.

The playstyle has seen some adjustments, with slight rotation changes, particularly for builds featuring Mayhem or Demonfire Infusion. Like all Warlock specs, Destruction offers overall good durability and valuable group-wide utility, making it a nice choice fit for Mythic+.

Unholy Death Knight

Unholy Death Knight maintains its strong performance in Patch 12.1, excelling with outstanding single-target damage while keeping its signature powerful AoE burst and solid sustained output.

This season, the spec gains improved sustained damage outside of major cooldowns, making it even more versatile. Unholy Death Knights boast incredible durability, making them reliable in any environment. Overall, they are a strong melee choice, adaptable to any group composition.

A-Tier

A-tier specs remain strong Mythic+ choices with good damage, utility, and survivability.

Feral Druid

Feral Druid is a physical damage machine that performs relatively well in Mythic+. Their utility remains exceptional, with Mark of the Wild standing out as one of the strongest group-wide buffs. The main drawback, though, is the fact that they are easily replaceable by any other spec that provides more damage.

Beast Mastery Hunter

Beast Mastery Hunter has climbed into A-Tier in the current Midnight Season 2 Mythic+ ranking. Its mobile ranged playstyle remains a major advantage in dungeons where mechanics force constant movement.

The spec can keep dealing damage while repositioning and now performs well enough across common Mythic+ situations to compete with the other A-Tier options.

Enhancement Shaman

Enhancement Shaman now sits in A-Tier in the Midnight Patch 12.1 Mythic+ rankings.

The spec brings strong melee pressure, useful control, and solid AoE for larger pulls. Bloodlust also keeps Enhancement useful in many group compositions.

Affliction Warlock

Affliction Warlock has climbed into A-Tier in the current Patch 12.1 Mythic+ ranking. Malefic Rapture supports strong multi-target pressure, while Warlock defensives keep the spec comfortable in dangerous pulls.

Its survivability comes from tools such as Unending Resolve, Demon Skin, and Dark Pact. You can also ask for Myhic +10 Dungeons, and our players will complete them for you.

Devourer Demon Hunter

The position of the Devourer Demon Hunter is excellent for M+. With all the advantages of the Demon Hunter class, the Devourer spec also offers utility, control, and adaptability, much needed in M+ dungeons. Also, their spells are prepared for the fast pace of Mythic+ runs with large pulls.

Fury Warrior

Fury Warrior is set to maintain its burst-oriented playstyle and familiar rotation, with only minor adjustments made. On the bright side, the Warrior tree has been revamped, providing increased durability (+10% Stamina) and improved mobility, enhancing their survivability and ease of movement.

However, their raw damage output still struggles to compete with many other DPS specs. Additionally, their Mythic+ toolkit remains largely unchanged and continues to offer the lowest utility options among all DPS specs, limiting their overall value in group compositions.

Marksmanship Hunter

Marksmanship Hunter now sits in A-Tier and still offers flexible builds for AoE, single-target, or 2-target cleave.

The spec retains its signature burst-oriented playstyle, a long-standing strength of MM, making it highly effective across all key levels. Keep in mind that Marksmanship Hunter performs better in lower-mid level keys, where burst can give you an advantage.

Havoc Demon Hunter

Havoc Demon Hunter is entering Patch 12.1 with nice performance, gaining back its popularity. Their party-wide utility remains solid, and substantial buffs to their damage output allow them to climb higher in the rankings. We are glad to have Havoc spec back and highly advise you to play it in Patch 12.1.

B-Tier

These specs are simply good but lack either damage, survivability, or utility. Still, these specs work well if they are paired with other top-tier classes.

Devastation Evoker

Devastation Evoker now sits in B-Tier and can still play both Flameshaper and Scalecommander builds, offering more flexibility in gameplay. The spec retains its unique Evoker utility and burst-oriented damage profile, which now includes improved sustained damage, making it effective across different key levels. However, its primary drawback remains — having only a 25-yard ability range as a caster can be punishing in many scenarios.

Shadow Priest

Shadow Priest now sits in B-Tier for Midnight Season 2 Mythic+. It relies a lot on ramp-up mechanics for damage. Because of this, it scales significantly better when targets live longer with the added duration of Voidform. It does good AoE, single-target, and priority-target damage at higher keys.

On the bright side, their utility and defense are still quite good, so they’re a useful part of any group. In general, some change to one or both of their power and gameplay appears probable, since the spec has thus far had extremely few tuning changes.

Survival Hunter

Survival Hunter has seen quite a few changes going into Mythic+ Patch 12.1, changes that kept the underlying rotation mostly intact. The spec enjoys good, consistent damage due to the rather low cooldowns, which is definitely a big plus.

At the moment, Survival has an average overall performance; this pretty much seals its standing. If further developments take place, reassessment of position and ranking adjustment will be done correspondingly.

Frost Mage

Currently, Frost Mage sits in B-tier, offering good burst and sustained AoE damage alongside solid priority-target cleave. As one of the most durable DPS specializations, paired with some of the best Mythic+ utility among DPS classes, Frost Mage remains a reliable and versatile choice for any group.

Frost Mages also provide a huge amount of utility to the group, have strong defensive abilities, high mobility, and spells that include a permanent slow effect, and they allow tanks to kite easily. Keep in mind that Arcane Intellect is always welcome in any raid or dungeon group.

Fire Mage

Fire Mage now sits in B-Tier for Mythic+ in Patch 12.1. Its single-target and AoE damage can still work well, but current results place it behind the stronger Mage and ranged DPS options. Fire also keeps the strong defensive and group utility package shared by all Mage specializations.

C-Tier

The C-tier specs have multiple downsides in either survivability, utility, or damage, but you can still enjoy the game while playing it. Make sure to pair up with some higher-tier allies, and Mythic+ will be no problem, just like any other type of content.

Augmentation Evoker

Augmentation Evoker remains a useful support-focused DPS option in the current tier ranking. In Patch 12.1, it sits in A-tier. With crowd control and the ability to enhance your allies’ DPS and defensive capabilities, it can still add value in team-focused fights.

TBD

These specs are still waiting for a final Season 2 Mythic+ placement. Their position may change once the ranking has enough settled performance data.

Windwalker Monk

Windwalker Monk is currently listed as TBD in the Midnight Season 2 Mythic+ DPS ranking. Its AoE, mobility, and group utility still give it clear dungeon value, but the spec does not have a final tier placement yet.

Frost Death Knight

Frost Death Knight is currently marked as TBD in the Midnight Season 2 Mythic+ DPS ranking. The spec still brings burst damage in AoE and single-target situations, plus strong priority-target pressure. Its final tier placement remains unsettled for now.

Mythic+ Healer Tier List

Now let’s dive into the Mythic+ Healer rankings for Midnight Patch 12.1. Quite a lot of changes were made, so let’s see what we’re going to deal with.

S-Tier

In S-Tier, we have dominant meta specs for WoW Midnight Mythic+. Groups with these specs can easily bypass troubles and do better in every situation.

Holy Paladin

Holy Paladin has gotten some significant changes heading into Patch 12.1, most notably the significant buffs to the healing and damage of Holy Shock. This combines with the new set bonuses, scaling this damage even further during Divine Toll windows. Divine Toll itself has its cooldown lowered, enabling more control over frequent hard-healing checks.

They are just a bit enhanced in healing and total damage compared to last season. The toolkit is still the same: Holy Paladin offers some of the highest party-wide utility, very good defensiveness through immunity, and excellent mob control. With these changes, Holy Paladin should still be a very stable and reliable choice for healers entering Patch 12.1.

Restoration Shaman

Moving into Patch 12.1, Restoration Shaman has seen a number of changes, including the removal of small cooldowns like Ancestral Guidance and Mana Tide Totem. These changes do not impact gameplay, only serving to minimally reduce the versatility of this spec.

Restoration Shaman continues to have great party-wide utility and very high healing output, but now also feels considerably more mana-intensive compared to other healing specializations. We can help you get Mythic Keys of any level you want.

A-Tier

A-tier provides great specs with huge HPS potential and a fair combination of utility and self-sustain.

Preservation Evoker

Preservation Evoker received several changes in Patch 12.1 that were intended to make Flameshaper builds viable in PvE. While these changes did improve their flexibility, Preservation is still hamstrung by an incredibly short offensive and defensive ability, the shortest of any healer. This can be a tremendous handicap, particularly when dealing with very mobile fights or playing in less organized groups.

All of these restrictions make Preservation Evoker perform a pretty good damage and healing job, as well as do a good job fitting into any raid team composition. Preservation Evoker requires good group coordination and awareness to make full use of its unique healing profile in order to shine.

Evoker’s main weakness is its short range of spells, which affects its healing. They may struggle in certain boss fights or when the group is spread around the boss bit and not stacked. We can offer you our helping hand and carry your Preservation Evoker or any other spec to the KSM achievement.

Mistweaver Monk

Mistweaver Monk is one of the most welcomed healers in Patch 12.1. Their best features are: Jade Empowerment causes Crackling Jade Lightning to be one of the most powerful single-target, priority-target, and AoE damage while healing others, essentially playing like a minor cooldown. Paired with the incredible talent of Jade Bond — particularly when paired with Invoke Chi-Ji, the Red Crane on cooldown — Mistweaver is shaping up to be extremely powerful.

Additionally, their tier set is also great, further increasing their healing output even more. Mistweaver’s HPS profile remains among the best, able to handle any Mythic+ encounter comfortably and does good damage (although a lot of it still needs to be in melee range).

B-Tier

B-Tier healers remain solid Mythic+ options but sit below the leading Season 2 specializations.

Restoration Druid

Restoration Druid offers a strong healing and damage profile. In Patch 12.1, they sit in B-tier in the current Mythic+ healer rankings. They also provide good crowd control, which is perfect for mob clearings. Overall, in Season 2, Restoration Druid still has a generally well-rounded set of Mythic+ strengths.

Holy Priest

Holy Priest now sits in B-Tier for Midnight Season 2 Mythic+. The spec remains in its mediocre state of DPS and HPS profiles, neither of which is high enough to move it in the tier list with respect to the other healing specializations.

With that in mind, Holy Priest remains one of the easier healing classes due to its very reactive nature: phenomenal for countering incoming or sustained HPS concerns with constant spot healing capability and thereby a solid choice, highly beginner-friendly, with a very easy-to-implement yet effective style of encounter management.

C-Tier

C-Tier currently contains the healer that falls furthest behind the rest of the Season 2 field in overall Mythic+ performance.

Discipline Priest

Discipline Priest received some of the larger healer changes going into Patch 12.1. These include the removal of Rapture as a cooldown and a redesign of Void Summoner, shifting the spec toward proc-based gameplay with Mind Blast and Penance.

Discipline still brings strong external tools through double Pain Suppression and Power Word: Barrier. Its current overall Mythic+ performance sits behind the other healers, which places Discipline Priest in C-Tier for Season 2.

Mythic+ Tank Tier List

The M+ rankings for tank specializations in Midnight Season 2 of Mythic+ are based on their strength in tanking and the value they add to a team in terms of utility, survivability, mobility, damage, and self-sustain.

📌 Tier list updated for WoW Midnight Season 2.

If you want a fully repaired tank for your Mythic+ runs, you can ask our team to provide you with the optimal Gear. You’ll be able to equip your character with high ilvl items in each slot and enjoy the game.

S-Tier

S-Tier tanks are excellent for any type of situation in Mythic+ WoW Midnight. They can withstand massive damage, and they have a relatively good DPS.

Blood Death Knight

Blood Death Knight is the top-ranked Mythic+ tank in Patch 12.1. Its current performance puts the spec ahead of the other tank options in the Midnight Season 2 ranking.

A+-Tier

A+-Tier tanks sit just below the current leader and bring strong survivability, damage, and dungeon utility.

Guardian Druid

Guardian Druids are seeing a big overhaul to their talent tree in Patch 12.1, and it’s definitely a step in the right direction. Talents like Symbiotic Relationship and fixes to the issues with Raze (saying goodbye to Maul) bring some fresh options that improve the spec. Their damage output is fantastic for a tank as well. Guardian Druids bring amazing utility to Mythic+, especially with Mark of the Wild, too.

Brewmaster Monk

Brewmaster Monk has climbed into A+ Tier for Midnight Season 2 Mythic+. The spec still has a steep learning curve and many defensive tools to manage, but its survivability now supports a much stronger position in the tank ranking.

A-Tier

A-Tier tanks remain reliable Mythic+ choices with enough defensive strength and utility for high-key progression.

Vengeance Demon Hunter

Vengeance Demon Hunter now sits in A-Tier for Midnight Season 2 Mythic+. Its durability toolkit allows it to stay active in dangerous pulls without relying too heavily on kiting.

Vengeance still brings strong mob control, solid damage, and useful dungeon utility. Those strengths keep it competitive, even though Guardian Druid and Brewmaster Monk currently sit one tier higher.

Protection Warrior

Protection Warrior is a solid A-tier tank in WoW Midnight Patch 12.1. Its toolkit still relies heavily on Rage management for Ignore Pain and other defensive abilities. The spec remains competitive for Mythic+ runs, although it sits below the A+ group in the current Season 2 ranking.

Protection Paladin

Protection Paladin now sits in A-Tier for Midnight Season 2 Mythic+. It’s still one of the most useful tanks in the game due to its utility. With their amazing mob control, they’re an extremely attractive choice for any group.

Its utility and mob control still make Protection Paladin a useful choice for many dungeon groups.
