The new Manaforge: Omega raid and Season 3 are live on North American servers, bringing fresh challenges and opportunities for damage dealers in World of Warcraft. After some last-minute adjustments, the final rankings for the best DPS specs have been revealed. Fans of Death Knights will be happy to know that both Unholy and Frost specs are holding firm in the top tier.
Class tuning and the new raid have shifted the balance quite a bit compared to Season 2 and the Liberation of Undermine patch. Elemental Shamans have emerged as the top DPS spec, which is a bit of good news since Enhancement Shamans still aren’t quite hitting the mark despite recent buffs. Demonology Warlocks have secured a solid spot in the top three, while Unholy Death Knights narrowly edge out Frost for the highest DK ranking.
Fury Warriors are leading the A+ tier, with Destruction Warlocks close behind. Affliction Warlocks have slipped down to A tier, though all three Warlock specs remain competitive. Mages mostly cluster in A+, except for Fire, which is trailing behind. Devastation Evokers and Marksmanship Hunters continue to perform well, maintaining their positions from Season 2.
Here’s a detailed look at the top tiers curated by guide writer Petko.
