To help you stay in touch with the meta, our The War Within tier list will help you decide which DPS class to main in The War Within. We've compiled a tier list of all WoW's DPS classes in descending order of their power and performance. Refer to this tier list in the latest 11.0.5 Patch of season one to give yourself a big advantage over others in Raids and Mythic+ dungeons. Table of contentsWoW The War Within DPS tier list criteriaWoW The War Within DPS tier list in Patch 11.0.5S TierA TierB TierC TierD Tier WoW The War Within DPS tier list criteria As already mentioned, this DPS tier list is based on the latest The War Within 11.0.5 Patch and all classes are included from best to worst. Tiers range from S all the way to D, and the ranking is based on class performance in Nerub-ar Palace Raid and Mythic+ dungeons. Here's our The War Within tier list criteria explained: S Tier - This is the cream of the crop, the best of the best DPS classes that are currently the strongest in both Mythic+ dungeons and Raids. A Tier - This tier contains powerful DPS classes that are performing well in both Mythic+ dungeons and Raids, but just fall short to the S Tier classes. B Tier - This is a tier that has solid, but not overpowered DPS classes. If you\u2019re looking for a golden middle, classes of this tier are for you then. C Tier - Contains viable classes but are in need of some buffs to really get them going since they struggle in the hardest PvE content. D Tier - Contains classes that are in dire need of major buffs to make them viable. These classes are far from best choices in Patch. 11.0.5 as they are heavily underperforming in both Mythic+ dungeons and Nerub-ar Palace Raid. WoW The War Within DPS tier list in Patch 11.0.5 S Tier Tier DPS class S Frost Death Knight S Arcane Mage S Enhancement Shaman Frost Death Knight Even with the last-minute nerfs to his Hero Talents in Patch 11.0.5, Frost Death Knight is still the king of this hill as it continues to dominate the hardest PvE content. Frost Death Knight is still the best DPS class you can play in The War Within as it can dish out a ton of burst damage in both AoE and single-target scenarios.\u00a0 While the Arctic Assault has been slightly nerfed to fire Glacial Advance at 80 percent, Frost Death Knight is still the ultimate DPS class that obliterates everything in both Mythic+ dungeons and Nerub-ar Palace Raid. Arcane Mage Arcane Mage has been overpowered since the start of this expansion. Valuable because of the Intellect buff the class brings to a raid, Arcane Mage also deals massive single-target and AoE arcane damage, even outperforming Frost Death Knights sometimes. Both Sunfury and Spellslinger Hero talents are incredibly strong, as their damage got buffed in Patch 11.0.5 by a whopping 30 percent. If you\u2019re looking for a powerful ranged DPS class, then be ready to destroy everything with that Arcane Barrage. Enhancement Shaman Although Enhancement Shaman doesn\u2019t have the Windfury Totem anymore, it\u2019s still one of the top three DPS classes in The War Within. Enhancement Shaman is a powerful class in both Mythic+ dungeons and raiding because of its quick damage and melee cleave.\u00a0 It\u2019s a tanky class that deals gigantic melee damage and brings a ton of utility to the party group in terms of Bloodlust Effect and Skyfury. Enhancement Shaman has access to Stormbringer and Totemic Hero talents, and while they are both extremely powerful, Stormbringer has a simpler rotation. A Tier Tier DPS class A Augmentation Evoker A Fury Warrior A Elemental Shaman A Assassination Rogue A Frost \/ Fire Mage A Retribution Paladin Augmentation Evoker While Augmentation Evoker is not as dominant and broken as it was back in Dragonflight, it\u2019s definitely still going strong and keeping up with other strong DPS classes. Augmentation Evoker didn\u2019t receive any changes in Patch 11.0.5, and it\u2019s still a powerful DPS class, just barely missing that S-tier spot. In terms of damage, Augmentation Evoker has everything covered in both single-target and AoE, but their true value also lies in the utility they bring to the group.If you\u2019re a fan of the Mage class but looking for something a bit different with a little less damage, then Augmentation Evoker is a perfect class pick. Fury Warrior Fury Warrior is a really strong class in its own might and in the right hands it can also easily be in the S tier. Unfortunately, the only thing that\u2019s holding it back is the lackluster four-piece set bonus from the Nerub-ar Palace Raid. However, this shouldn\u2019t discourage you from playing this class, because Fury Warrior is anything but weak. Fury Warriors have Battle Shout and Rallying Cry, which are very valuable assets to the Raid group, and on top of everything, Fury Warriors have amazing AoE cleave in Mythic+ dungeons. Elemental Shaman While it\u2019s not as powerful as the Enhancement form, Elemental Shaman is still a force to be reckoned with. It\u2019s a strong ranged DPS class with a high skill, high reward type of gameplay as it requires you to have good knowledge of the class itself. Both Farseer and Stormbringer Hero talents are equally good for the Elemental Shaman, with Farseer being slightly better in single-target and Stormbringer excelling in AoE situations. The only reason Elemental Shaman isn\u2019t S tier is because Enhancement is there and it\u2019s more defensive and tankier. Assassination Rogue Assassination Rogue is in a pretty decent spot in Patch 11.0.5. While Assassination Rogue is almost equal to its other two specs in single-target damage, Assassination Rogue completely blows them out of the competition in AoE scenarios.This makes Assassination Rogue a real menace in Mythic+ dungeons and thanks to a Hero talent tree like Deathstalker, it\u2019s one of the best DPS classes of A tier. And if that\u2019s not enough, then it\u2019s also worth knowing that Assassination Rogues also deal damage over time because of Atrophic Poison, making them even better. Frost \/ Fire Mage In terms of AoE damage, both Fire and Frost are outperformed by Arcane. But that only speaks about Arcane Mage being completely busted rather than how good both Fire and Frost are. Both Fire and Frost Mage specs are viable classes who can dish out a ton of AoE and single-target damage. While Fire Mage received a lot of buffs and adjustments to finally earn a respectable place in A tier, Frost has always been pretty consistent. Both classes are great damage dealers and the only thing that makes them different is the rotation where Frost punishes you more for failing, especially if you\u2019re running the Spellslinger Hero talent tree. Retribution Paladin While Retribution Paladins are not the best damage dealers, they are certainly stronger than ever in all scenarios. Retribution Paladin is a great melee DPS class who\u2019s pretty competitive with classes like Assassination Rogue and Frost Mage in both AoE and single-target. Combined with a bunch of useful utility in the form of Cleanse and Blessing of Protection, Retribution Paladin is a DPS juggernaut class and it without a doubt deserves a spot in the A tier. B Tier Tier DPS class B Havoc Demon Hunter B Affliction \/ Destruction \/ Demonology Warlock B Windwalker Monk B Unholy Death Knight B Arms Warrior B Subtlety \/ Outlaw Rogue Havoc Demon Hunter Havoc Demon Hunter is always a great option for Mythic+ dungeons, and as far as raiding goes, Havoc Demon Hunter is quite solid there as well. It\u2019s a decent DPS class with a rotation that mostly never changes.\u00a0 Havoc Demon Hunter didn\u2019t receive any changes in Patch 11.0.5, but it\u2019s still a solid pick for most of the content, but certainly not the best. If you\u2019re looking for an okay-ish damage dealer with a fun playstyle and useful Chaos Bran utility, then you\u2019ll be happy with the current state of Havoc Demon Hunter. Affliction \/ Destruction \/ Demonology Warlock As of Patch 11.0.5, all three specs of the Warlock class are equally good, and they are all equally average compared to other DPS classes. While Warlock class is certainly amazing for Delves, the damage is just okay for Mythic+ dungeons and raiding. Affliction Warlock deals a decent amount of damage over time, but the hardest rotation. Destruction on the other hand is easier to understand, as it mostly focuses on burst damage, but falls off in longer fights. Lastly, Demonology Warlock is okay in both single-target and AoE but requires good preparation. Windwalker Monk Windwalker Monk is in an interesting spot in The War Within. It\u2019s a class that\u2019s very situational, meaning it can completely pop off or be lackluster and average. Windwalker Monk is a DPS class with the most mobility, and shines in combat where you switch targets often. While this can be useful in some new The War Within Mythic+ dungeons, it\u2019s also a bit underwhelming for the Nerub-ar Palace raid because only the last three to four bosses require higher mobility DPS. Unholy Death Knight While yes, you can be immortal with this class anywhere, and it\u2019s even great in Mythic+ dungeons, the damage is simply not there to compete with other top tier DPS. Unholy Death Knight is an alright DPS class, but compared to its Frost counterpart, Unholy Death Knight didn\u2019t receive much love in this expansion. The class didn\u2019t get any changes in Patch 11.0.5, and in terms of single-target damage, it\u2019s very lackluster. Although it has a ton of survivability with Death Grip or Abomination Limb, the damage simply isn\u2019t there for this class to be higher than a B tier. Arms Warrior Arms Warrior is historically known to be a DPS class with unclear damage potential. The class deals decent single-target damage, but it\u2019s not comparable to the likes of Fury Warrior or Enhancement Shaman. While its AoE problems have been fixed with the Bladestorm and Cleave build, the damage is still nothing to write home about. However, if you really love the class, Arms Warrior can be decent in the right hands, but definitely needs some buffs to climb the tier list. Subtlety \/ Outlaw Rogue Both Subtlety and Outlaw Rogue are fun and decent classes to play, and while they most certainly have their uses in the Nerub-ar Palace Raid, they massively fall off in AoE situations. When it comes to single-target damage, both perform similarly and even outperform Assassination Rogue. However, in terms of Mythic+ dungeons, they are struggling to the point of needing some major buffs to be good. Both Subtlety and Outlaw Rogues are very fun to play, when it comes to damage, they are just average in best case scenarios.

To help you stay in touch with the meta, our The War Within tier list will help you decide which DPS class to main in The War Within. We've compiled a tier list of all WoW's DPS classes in descending order of their power and performance. Refer to this tier list in the latest 11.0.5 Patch of season one to give yourself a big advantage over others in Raids and Mythic+ dungeons. Table of contentsWoW The War Within DPS tier list criteriaWoW The War Within DPS tier list in Patch 11.0.5S TierA TierB TierC TierD Tier WoW The War Within DPS tier list criteria As already mentioned, this DPS tier list is based on the latest The War Within 11.0.5 Patch and all classes are included from best to worst. Tiers range from S all the way to D, and the ranking is based on class performance in Nerub-ar Palace Raid and Mythic+ dungeons. Here's our The War Within tier list criteria explained: S Tier - This is the cream of the crop, the best of the best DPS classes that are currently the strongest in both Mythic+ dungeons and Raids. A Tier - This tier contains powerful DPS classes that are performing well in both Mythic+ dungeons and Raids, but just fall short to the S Tier classes. B Tier - This is a tier that has solid, but not overpowered DPS classes. If you\u2019re looking for a golden middle, classes of this tier are for you then. C Tier - Contains viable classes but are in need of some buffs to really get them going since they struggle in the hardest PvE content. D Tier - Contains classes that are in dire need of major buffs to make them viable. These classes are far from best choices in Patch. 11.0.5 as they are heavily underperforming in both Mythic+ dungeons and Nerub-ar Palace Raid. WoW The War Within DPS tier list in Patch 11.0.5 S Tier Tier DPS class S Frost Death Knight S Arcane Mage S Enhancement Shaman Frost Death Knight Even with the last-minute nerfs to his Hero Talents in Patch 11.0.5, Frost Death Knight is still the king of this hill as it continues to dominate the hardest PvE content. Frost Death Knight is still the best DPS class you can play in The War Within as it can dish out a ton of burst damage in both AoE and single-target scenarios.\u00a0 While the Arctic Assault has been slightly nerfed to fire Glacial Advance at 80 percent, Frost Death Knight is still the ultimate DPS class that obliterates everything in both Mythic+ dungeons and Nerub-ar Palace Raid. Arcane Mage Arcane Mage has been overpowered since the start of this expansion. Valuable because of the Intellect buff the class brings to a raid, Arcane Mage also deals massive single-target and AoE arcane damage, even outperforming Frost Death Knights sometimes. Both Sunfury and Spellslinger Hero talents are incredibly strong, as their damage got buffed in Patch 11.0.5 by a whopping 30 percent. If you\u2019re looking for a powerful ranged DPS class, then be ready to destroy everything with that Arcane Barrage. Enhancement Shaman Although Enhancement Shaman doesn\u2019t have the Windfury Totem anymore, it\u2019s still one of the top three DPS classes in The War Within. Enhancement Shaman is a powerful class in both Mythic+ dungeons and raiding because of its quick damage and melee cleave.\u00a0 It\u2019s a tanky class that deals gigantic melee damage and brings a ton of utility to the party group in terms of Bloodlust Effect and Skyfury. Enhancement Shaman has access to Stormbringer and Totemic Hero talents, and while they are both extremely powerful, Stormbringer has a simpler rotation. A Tier Tier DPS class A Augmentation Evoker A Fury Warrior A Elemental Shaman A Assassination Rogue A Frost \/ Fire Mage A Retribution Paladin Augmentation Evoker While Augmentation Evoker is not as dominant and broken as it was back in Dragonflight, it\u2019s definitely still going strong and keeping up with other strong DPS classes. Augmentation Evoker didn\u2019t receive any changes in Patch 11.0.5, and it\u2019s still a powerful DPS class, just barely missing that S-tier spot. In terms of damage, Augmentation Evoker has everything covered in both single-target and AoE, but their true value also lies in the utility they bring to the group.If you\u2019re a fan of the Mage class but looking for something a bit different with a little less damage, then Augmentation Evoker is a perfect class pick. Fury Warrior Fury Warrior is a really strong class in its own might and in the right hands it can also easily be in the S tier. Unfortunately, the only thing that\u2019s holding it back is the lackluster four-piece set bonus from the Nerub-ar Palace Raid. However, this shouldn\u2019t discourage you from playing this class, because Fury Warrior is anything but weak. Fury Warriors have Battle Shout and Rallying Cry, which are very valuable assets to the Raid group, and on top of everything, Fury Warriors have amazing AoE cleave in Mythic+ dungeons. Elemental Shaman While it\u2019s not as powerful as the Enhancement form, Elemental Shaman is still a force to be reckoned with. It\u2019s a strong ranged DPS class with a high skill, high reward type of gameplay as it requires you to have good knowledge of the class itself. Both Farseer and Stormbringer Hero talents are equally good for the Elemental Shaman, with Farseer being slightly better in single-target and Stormbringer excelling in AoE situations. The only reason Elemental Shaman isn\u2019t S tier is because Enhancement is there and it\u2019s more defensive and tankier. Assassination Rogue Assassination Rogue is in a pretty decent spot in Patch 11.0.5. While Assassination Rogue is almost equal to its other two specs in single-target damage, Assassination Rogue completely blows them out of the competition in AoE scenarios.This makes Assassination Rogue a real menace in Mythic+ dungeons and thanks to a Hero talent tree like Deathstalker, it\u2019s one of the best DPS classes of A tier. And if that\u2019s not enough, then it\u2019s also worth knowing that Assassination Rogues also deal damage over time because of Atrophic Poison, making them even better. Frost \/ Fire Mage In terms of AoE damage, both Fire and Frost are outperformed by Arcane. But that only speaks about Arcane Mage being completely busted rather than how good both Fire and Frost are. Both Fire and Frost Mage specs are viable classes who can dish out a ton of AoE and single-target damage. While Fire Mage received a lot of buffs and adjustments to finally earn a respectable place in A tier, Frost has always been pretty consistent. Both classes are great damage dealers and the only thing that makes them different is the rotation where Frost punishes you more for failing, especially if you\u2019re running the Spellslinger Hero talent tree. Retribution Paladin While Retribution Paladins are not the best damage dealers, they are certainly stronger than ever in all scenarios. Retribution Paladin is a great melee DPS class who\u2019s pretty competitive with classes like Assassination Rogue and Frost Mage in both AoE and single-target. Combined with a bunch of useful utility in the form of Cleanse and Blessing of Protection, Retribution Paladin is a DPS juggernaut class and it without a doubt deserves a spot in the A tier. B Tier Tier DPS class B Havoc Demon Hunter B Affliction \/ Destruction \/ Demonology Warlock B Windwalker Monk B Unholy Death Knight B Arms Warrior B Subtlety \/ Outlaw Rogue Havoc Demon Hunter Havoc Demon Hunter is always a great option for Mythic+ dungeons, and as far as raiding goes, Havoc Demon Hunter is quite solid there as well. It\u2019s a decent DPS class with a rotation that mostly never changes.\u00a0 Havoc Demon Hunter didn\u2019t receive any changes in Patch 11.0.5, but it\u2019s still a solid pick for most of the content, but certainly not the best. If you\u2019re looking for an okay-ish damage dealer with a fun playstyle and useful Chaos Bran utility, then you\u2019ll be happy with the current state of Havoc Demon Hunter. Affliction \/ Destruction \/ Demonology Warlock As of Patch 11.0.5, all three specs of the Warlock class are equally good, and they are all equally average compared to other DPS classes. While Warlock class is certainly amazing for Delves, the damage is just okay for Mythic+ dungeons and raiding. Affliction Warlock deals a decent amount of damage over time, but the hardest rotation. Destruction on the other hand is easier to understand, as it mostly focuses on burst damage, but falls off in longer fights. Lastly, Demonology Warlock is okay in both single-target and AoE but requires good preparation. Windwalker Monk Windwalker Monk is in an interesting spot in The War Within. It\u2019s a class that\u2019s very situational, meaning it can completely pop off or be lackluster and average. Windwalker Monk is a DPS class with the most mobility, and shines in combat where you switch targets often. While this can be useful in some new The War Within Mythic+ dungeons, it\u2019s also a bit underwhelming for the Nerub-ar Palace raid because only the last three to four bosses require higher mobility DPS. Unholy Death Knight While yes, you can be immortal with this class anywhere, and it\u2019s even great in Mythic+ dungeons, the damage is simply not there to compete with other top tier DPS. Unholy Death Knight is an alright DPS class, but compared to its Frost counterpart, Unholy Death Knight didn\u2019t receive much love in this expansion. The class didn\u2019t get any changes in Patch 11.0.5, and in terms of single-target damage, it\u2019s very lackluster. Although it has a ton of survivability with Death Grip or Abomination Limb, the damage simply isn\u2019t there for this class to be higher than a B tier. Arms Warrior Arms Warrior is historically known to be a DPS class with unclear damage potential. The class deals decent single-target damage, but it\u2019s not comparable to the likes of Fury Warrior or Enhancement Shaman. While its AoE problems have been fixed with the Bladestorm and Cleave build, the damage is still nothing to write home about. However, if you really love the class, Arms Warrior can be decent in the right hands, but definitely needs some buffs to climb the tier list. Subtlety \/ Outlaw Rogue Both Subtlety and Outlaw Rogue are fun and decent classes to play, and while they most certainly have their uses in the Nerub-ar Palace Raid, they massively fall off in AoE situations. When it comes to single-target damage, both perform similarly and even outperform Assassination Rogue. However, in terms of Mythic+ dungeons, they are struggling to the point of needing some major buffs to be good. Both Subtlety and Outlaw Rogues are very fun to play, when it comes to damage, they are just average in best case scenarios.
