The start of a new expansion brings up an age-old question all World of Warcraft players are facing before Midnight. You log in, stare at your character list, and think: “Which one should I actually stick with?”
Our Choose Your Main in Midnight Guide helps you decide which WoW class actually fits you best. It looks at playstyle, survivability, utility, and overall fun so you pick a main you’ll enjoy long-term.
Choose Your Main in Midnight GuideMidnight Class Rankings
Petko’s guide gives numerical values, ranking each class based on the following:
- Single-target DPS
- AoE DPS
- Priority-target DPS
- Defense
- Playstyle
- Utility
Classes are then ranked based on damage score and total score:
- The damage-only filter allows you to exclude every other variable and focus on the raw power of the spec.
- The overall score looks at the value the spec brings to the table beyond its DPS output.
Whilst this guide is subjective, it provides a great reference point for anyone looking to concrete their decision for their Midnight main.
Here’s an overview of the best classes to main going into Midnight.

For the remaining spec rankings, check out Petko’s detailed guide. It will be updated regularly as we see more class tuning waves in the coming weeks.
