Rankings & Tier Lists
Which specs look strong before launch? We combine the known tier lists and simulations – with reasoning, range and sources.
Beta/PTR stateAs of 1 November 2026How the tiers are made
Note: Beta/PTR state before the 4 November 2026 launch. The sources rely on the level-30 beta, talent analysis and simulations – there are no raid logs yet. Ratings will change after launch.
How we consolidate: We take the median of the source tiers (S = 5 … D = 1). With an even count the two middle values are averaged; an exact half goes towards the newest level-60 model, otherwise down. If the newest level-60 model (simulation or level-60 theorycraft) is two or more tiers away, we move one tier towards it. The range shows the lowest and highest source tier.
