WoW Midnight Season 2 DPS Rankings: Best Mythic+ Specs and Dungeon Tier List
Midnight Season 2 Mythic+ already has a clear DPS meta, and the current ranking data shows a tight race at the top. Based on 4,232,609 parses from all keys +7 and above over the last 14 days, Arms Warrior, Assassination Rogue, Arcane Mage, Elemental Shaman, and Feral Druid are leading the Mythic+ DPS field.
The difference between S-tier and A-tier is not huge, but the top specs combine strong damage, high key representation, useful utility, and enough survivability to stay reliable in difficult dungeon pulls. For players pushing score, weekly vault keys, or Season 2 achievements, the current rankings are a useful way to understand what groups are trusting in higher keys.
DPS Tier List for +7 to +19 Mythic+
The S-tier is not just one class stacking the board. Warriors, Rogues, Mages, Shamans, Druids, and Demon Hunters all have at least one spec near the top. That is good for group variety, but it also means players should pay attention to the exact specialization and hero talent build, not only the class name.
Top DPS Specs by Mythic+ Score
| Rank | Specialization | Max Key | DPS | M+ Score | Popularity |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Arms Warrior | +19 | 234K | 3062 | 11.6% |
| 2 | Assassination Rogue | +19 | 249K | 3060 | 2.2% |
| 3 | Arcane Mage | +19 | 246K | 3043 | 16.2% |
| 4 | Feral Druid | +18 | 231K | 3041 | 1.1% |
| 5 | Elemental Shaman | +18 | 241K | 3041 | 8.5% |
| 6 | Outlaw Rogue | +18 | 238K | 3034 | 1.5% |
| 7 | Devourer Demon Hunter | +18 | 231K | 3028 | 4.7% |
Arms Warrior is barely ahead by M+ Score, but Arcane Mage is the most represented spec among the top entries, with the largest popularity and parse count in the table. That makes Arcane one of the safest meta picks for players who want a strong ranged DPS with proven group demand.
Assassination Rogue is also very impressive because it sits only two score points behind Arms Warrior while having much lower popularity. When a lower-popularity spec ranks this high, it usually means the players using it are getting serious value from its damage profile and utility.

| 15 | Shadow Priest | +18 | 219K | 2967 | 130,385 |
Hero Talent Rankings: Biggest Standouts
The hero talent table shows an even higher ceiling for some builds. Deathstalker Assassination Rogue leads the hero specialization list with 3141 M+ Score, followed by Annihilator Devourer Demon Hunter and Druid of the Claw Feral Druid.
| Rank | Hero Specialization | Max Key | DPS | M+ Score | Tree % |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Deathstalker Assassination Rogue | +19 | 267K | 3141 | 92.2% |
| 2 | Annihilator Devourer Demon Hunter | +18 | 246K | 3126 | 44.9% |
| 3 | Druid of the Claw Feral Druid | +18 | 247K | 3123 | 87.2% |
| 4 | Slayer Arms Warrior | +19 | 247K | 3119 | 99.7% |
| 5 | San'layn Unholy Death Knight | +17 | 262K | 3100 | 30.5% |
| 6 | Herald of the Sun Retribution Paladin | +18 | 254K | 3098 | 38.2% |
| 7 | Farseer Elemental Shaman | +18 | 257K | 3097 | 98.9% |
| 8 | Trickster Outlaw Rogue | +18 | 255K | 3094 | 99.6% |
Hero talent data is important because it shows what top players are actually choosing inside each spec. Some builds have extremely high tree share, such as Slayer Arms Warrior, Trickster Outlaw Rogue, Sunfury Arcane Mage, and Farseer Elemental Shaman. When a build has both high score and high tree percentage, it usually becomes the safest default choice for players copying the meta.
Dungeon Ease Tier List
The dungeon data shows Murder Row as the easiest current dungeon by score, sitting alone in S-tier. Ruby Life Pools, Temple of Sethraliss, and Kings' Rest follow in A-tier, making them strong choices for players trying to push score or complete reliable weekly keys.
Dungeon Ease Rankings
| Rank | Dungeon | Max Key | M+ Score | Popularity | Parses |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Murder Row | +19 | 2592 | 14.6% | 367,983 |
| 2 | Ruby Life Pools | +18 | 2580 | 9.0% | 228,335 |
| 3 | Temple of Sethraliss | +18 | 2578 | 12.6% | 318,564 |
| 4 | Kings' Rest | +19 | 2577 | 12.4% | 313,387 |
| 5 | Voidscar Arena | +19 | 2558 | 12.7% | 320,932 |
| 6 | The Blinding Vale | +18 | 2553 | 12.3% | 310,206 |
| 7 | Den of Nalorakk | +19 | 2548 | 12.1% | 306,423 |
| 8 | Altar of Fangs | +18 | 2538 | 14.3% | 362,026 |
The dungeon spread is fairly close, but Murder Row is clearly the easiest score target in this data set. Altar of Fangs has high popularity but the lowest ease score, which suggests many groups are running it, but it is less forgiving than the top-ranked dungeons.
