It’s time to check in with the carrying roles in the dungeons, as we haven’t looked at the tanks and healers for a long time now! The recent tuning pass changed a little, and we see some big movement since we last looked.

Tanks in Mythic+

The big change in recent weeks has been Protection Warrior just dominating everything in the tank space. We’ve seen them constantly gain ground in the popularity charts, and they’re now at the very top. Their fellow Prot is also doing a lot better than at the start of the season, as Paladins grab the only other S-tier slot. This pushes the once only S-tier Vengeance down to fourth, trailing Brewmaster.

Healers in Mythic+

Druids manage to remain on top, despite Shamans’ massive popularity, but both specs are very close in S-tier. Disc is now alone in the Best-Candidate bracket, and while the Holy Priest buffs did help, they only brought the spec up from dead-last to the penultimate spot, leaving Mistweaver at the bottom.
