WoW Dragonflight <\/em>season one is coming to a close, and as the game transitions to its next season, now is the perfect time to reflect on how its meta has developed through the first six months of Dragonflight<\/em>.\u00a0<\/p>
Particularly, the Healer meta in Mythic+ dungeons remained largely stagnant throughout Dragonflight <\/em>season one (at least in terms of the classes played most prominently at the highest level). In fact, the most-played specialization across all of WoW <\/em>in Dragonflight <\/em>season one was a Healer: Restoration Druid.<\/p>
With 4.7 percent of the game\u2019s population playing Restoration Druids in Mythic+ runs, the spec was the most popular out of all options in the game this season, according to WoW <\/em>stats site Raider.io<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

Over 25 percent of all runs completed with a Healer were done with a Restoration Druid, as the spec drubbed all others at its role. The next-closest Healer spec in popularity this season was Preservation Evoker, featured in just over 18 percent of runs this season, according to Raider.io<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>

In season one, many healing specs struggled to get off the ground, such as low-tier options like Mistweaver Monk and Discipline Priest. For a brief period of time<\/a>, Healers were thrust out of the Mythic+ meta altogether, with high-level players opting to run their dungeons with four DPS characters<\/a> and one tank.\u00a0<\/p>
