World of Warcraft: Season 2 raid tier list released

With the launch of Season 2 for World of Warcraft: Midnight, a new 8-boss raid titled ‘Toxic Abyss’ is available across all difficulty levels. Following class balancing on the Patch 12.1 test realm, experts from WoWHead have released a raid tier list to evaluate the performance of various specializations.

In the damage dealer (DPS) category, Arms Warrior is the only specialization ranked in the S-Tier, noted for high damage output, cleave capabilities, and utility such as the ‘Battle Shout’ raid buff. Other high-performing A-Tier specs include Balance Druid, Marksmanship Hunter, Shadow Priest, Destruction Warlock, Havoc Demon Hunter, Frost Death Knight, Arcane Mage, Devastation Evoker, and Subtlety Rogue.

While some classes like Devastation Evoker and Shadow Priest perform exceptionally well in large-scale raids, they are noted to rank lower in Mythic+ dungeon content. Other specializations, including Demon Hunters, Rogues, Monks, and various Warlock and Shaman specs, fall into the B-Tier.
