Find out how popular your DPS spec is for Mythic+ in the ongoing Season!

DATA RELIABILITY: The data used in this article comes from benched.me. Reddit user OtherwiseUniversity7 plotted all keys available from the Blizzard API (excluding the CN region) on a single ridge plot to gather the data.

This Week's Affixes (Week of March 30)

The following affixes are active this week:

Player Activity

The following figure shows the number of Mythic+ runs recorded each week since Shadowlands Season 1 started. This week, players have completed 560K runs so far.

Total Runs Recorded

Here are all the runs recorded from the beginning of Mythic Season 1 until now. We use the data further to determine the most popular ranged and melee DPS specializations.

Most Popular Melee DPS for Mythic+

The most popular melee DPS for Mythic+ is Unholy Death Knight, followed by Havoc Demon Hunter (2nd) and Outlaw Rogue (3rd)Feral Druid lost one rank to Frost Death Knight this week. The least popular specializations are Survival Hunter (13th) with just 159K runs completed this Season, Assassination Rogue (12th), and Feral Druid (11th).

  • 1st: Unholy Death Knight - 2,763,609 runs
  • 2nd: Havoc Demon Hunter - 2,444,932 runs
  • 3rd: Outlaw Rogue - 2,343,519 runs
  • 4th: Retribution Paladin - 2,080,283 runs
  • 5th: Windwalker Monk - 2,016,236 runs
  • 6th: Fury Warrior - 1,938,570 runs
  • 7th: Arms Warrior - 1,565,303 runs
  • 8th: Enhancement Shaman - 1,151,340 runs
  • 9th: Subtlety Rogue - 1,057,801 runs
  • 10th: Frost Death Knight - 513,415 runs
  • 11th: Feral Druid - 500,617 runs
  • 12th: Assassination Rogue - 235,121 runs
  • 13th: Survival Hunter - 159,498 runs

Detailed Look at Spec Performance

The meta starts to kick in at around +16, where most specs start losing their share of representation to the metaclasses. Some non-meta specs stay stable in mid-range keys and only begin disappearing at higher levels.

Share of Melee DPS Specs at Each Key Level (Weekly Top 500 Runs)

To see how the meta changes during the season, we sample the top 50 runs for each dungeon (a total of 6,000 keys) for each week. Next, we count the number of times each spec appears in the weekly top 500 sample.

The data has a zig-zag quality to it. Spec numbers go up and down each week, which is the Tyrannical/Fortified split effect. On Tyrannical weeks, pushers are likely to bench their meta-class mains and play non-meta alts.

      War Within Alpha should be just around the corner! When do we expect the latest expansion testing to start?
      If you've been keeping an eye on the World of Warcraft 2024 roadmap, you're likely excited about what's coming up! According to the roadmap, the War Within Alpha is expected to kick off sometime after Patch 10.2.6, which was released two weeks ago, and before the beginning of Season 4.

      Typically, a season lasts 22 weeks. Right now, we're in the 20th week of Season 3, with just about two weeks left. Let's break down the hypothetical timeline:
      Season 3 Week 20: Week of March 26 Season 3 Week 21: Week of April 2 Season 3 Week 22: Week of April 9 Season 4 Week 1: Week of April 15 This schedule suggests that the War Within Alpha could potentially launch as early as next week or during the week of April 9.
      The most recent news from the War Within camp came on March 27, when Blizzard rolled out a fresh encrypted internal build on the WoW Dev CDN. The internal builds are becoming more and more frequent which indicates Blizzard's ramping up to start testing in the very near future.
      Placeholder for tweet 1772901807448052151 In the meantime, we encourage you to check out everything coming in the War Within pre-patch that will release 1 month before the actual expansion.

      Executive Producer Holly Longdale teased some upcoming experimental PvE-focused content that Blizzard will soon reveal to the community.
      It appears that Plunderstorm isn't the only new mode Blizzard plans to add to WoW this year.
      Holly Longdale today teased an upcoming PvE-oriented event that will soon be revealed to us. Holly might be talking about the "Timerunning Pandamonium," expected in Patch 10.2.7.

      Greetings Citizens of Azeroth,
      It’s been great seeing so many players taking the plunge into Plunderstorm and we’ve loved seeing all of the stories and feedback as this experimental event evolves. It will be exciting to see some of the community content creators going head-to-head as duos during the Plunderstorm Creator Royale on March 30!  This isn’t the end of the things we want to try in World of Warcraft, however, and we have more in store we can’t wait to show you.
      Dragonflight Season 4 is in route as testing begins on the PTR and we’ll have more news to share soon™ on the next experiment we have up our sleeves. We hope those of you who are looking for PvE focused content will enjoy what we’re planning, all while we continue to press forward on development of our next expansion for World of Warcraft— The War Within.
      We can’t wait to share with you all the many things the team has been hard at work on.
      With gratitude and excitement for what we’ll do together next,
      Holly Longdale
