The main part of the season launches this coming reset, with M+ and Mythic raids opening up. As we wait for the updated tier lists for the DPS and healers, let’s check in on the tanks. They’ve received no tuning changes in the pre-Mythic/Mythic+ balance pass.
Tanks for Mythic+
We see the Monk make its way to the top in dungeons as the sole S-tier occupant, and with its 2nd spot in raids, it’s very much secured the best tank spec of the early season title! Prot Warrior is also riding high in both lists, while Vengeance is very much a Mythic+-only spec. Guardian is almost at the bottom here, but is at the top of the raid list.

| Tier | Tank Specialization |
