The raids are almost here! The season starts today for NA realms and tomorrow for EU. With the latest enormous batch of tuning changes, the tier lists have dramatically changed. So let’s dive in and see what’s happened to the DPS specs!
An important note: there were some last-minute changes yesterday, and they haven’t been added to the tier lists quite yet. Shadow Priests and Augmentation Evokers got the most significant changes, with Unholy DKs getting some fixes. You can read the changes here, and the tier list will be updated soon with these changes as well. You can also read the full list of class tuning adjustments here.
