Frequently Asked Questions

🏆 What is the Best DPS class in WoW right now?

Top Dmg Wow Classic

You can judge for yourself by exploring our chart above. Generallyspeaking,if you are looking to maximize your damage output, the Top 5 specs would be a safechoice indeed. But please do not be discouraged if your class or spec of preferenceisranked lower at the moment - at the end of the day the most important thing iswhetheryou enjoy the playstyle or not.

🎯 How often does this Rating get updates?

We know perfectly well that outdated data is useless. That is why wecheck these numbers every single day to verify that it is up to date and then weupdateit the moment anything changes. You can see the dates of both events at the top ofthispage.

🤔 Are these DPS Rankings based on Simcraft orLogs?

They are based on both. And even more than that. Our processinvolvesrunning thousands of simulations with Simulationcraft (an open-source tool thatmodelsclass mechanics to estimate damage-per-second performance in different situations)andalso using tools like Bloodmallet and Raidbots to research various gearcombinations.Then we compare our results to the data retrieved from actual in-game logs of thebestplayers of each class (for this purpose we look up global leaderboards on sites likeRaider.io and WoWProgress). By combining both theoretical and statistical data weaim toprevent variance due to human factors (e.g. players underperforming) whilemaintaining aclose connection to realistic scenarios because many factors must be taken into theaccount. We also constantly monitor player communities like Icy Veins, Wowhead,Reddit,Method and official Blizzard World of Warcraft Forums to keep in touch with publicopinion so we can tell if our data is correct.

🙄 Are lower-ranked classes unviable?

Not at all. These rankings are meant to show the general trends butinactual in-game scenarios many other factors may chime in and the lowest-rankedclass/spec may end up being Top #1 DPS in raid/group and vice versa.
