WoW Midnight Season 1 — Mythic+ DPS Tier List (+7 to +23) — Weeks 13 Update

The ceiling keeps climbing. Three specs hit +24 this week — the highest keys of Season 1 so far — and the DPS numbers at the top are pulling away from the rest of the bracket in a way that makes the S-tier gap more visible than at any previous point this season. The dungeon ease picture also shifted: Magisters' Terrace joined Pit of Saron in S-tier, and the overall difficulty spread between the top and bottom of the pool narrowed as groups continue to optimize routes.

How This Tier List Works

Archon ranks specs by Mythic+ Score — pulled directly from the official Blizzard leaderboard, covering every run including those not logged to Warcraft Logs. The Score shown is the 95th percentile value at the maximum key attempted. It captures damage, utility, survivability, and comp contribution in one number. The higher the key ceiling, the harder the spec is tested and the more these numbers mean.

Hero Spec Rankings — Top Builds +7 to +23

Rider of the Apocalypse at 99.9% tree rate is the single most adopted Hero Spec build in Season 1 history. Every Unholy DK at high keys runs this build. 200K DPS is the highest in the Hero Spec table.

Dungeon Ease Tier List — +7 to +23

The dungeon picture shifted this week. Magisters' Terrace joined Pit of Saron in S-tier — a major change from Week 11 when it sat in A-tier. The overall Score spread between top and bottom narrowed as the Season 1 player base continues to optimize every dungeon in the pool.

Magisters' Terrace's rise to S-tier is the headline. The dungeon was consistently A-tier through the middle of the season. Better route documentation and group familiarity at high keys has pushed it to near-parity with Pit of Saron — the two dungeons are separated by just 2 Score points. Maisara Caverns holds a +24 max key alongside Pit of Saron and Windrunner Spire — confirming it's where the strongest groups push hardest despite its B-tier placement in earlier weeks.

Season 1's Weeks 13 Picture

Season 2 lands August 11th. That means roughly ten weeks remain before the ladder resets and a fresh dungeon pool resets the meta entirely.

The four S-tier specs are locked in. Aug Evoker, Devourer DH, Unholy DK, and Arms Warrior have defined Season 1's highest keys and nothing in the remaining data suggests that changes. The gap below them is substantial — A-tier is genuinely competitive through +20, but above that the S-tier specs show a consistency margin that other specs can't replicate.

Two specs worth highlighting in the final weeks: Outlaw Rogue at Score 3,694 with 1.5% popularity is the most underplayed spec relative to performance in the entire dataset. If you're comfortable with the kit and want a genuinely efficient path to higher keys outside the crowded S-tier specs, Outlaw is the answer. Shadow Priest at 3,644 is the other — it just had its best week of the season, the build is solved, and the comp value makes it more attractive than the raw Score suggests.

Two specs not worth touching heading into Season 2 prep: Devastation Evoker and Destruction Warlock. Both sit 500+ Score points below their better counterparts on the same class. Playing either in the final weeks of Season 1 is leaving progress on the table.
