Best Mythic+ Classes in WoW Season 2 2025 (Complete Tier List)

How the M+ Meta Is Determined

Mythic+ performance is measured by two factors: raw throughput (damage or healing output) and utility (interrupts, stops, bloodlust, battle rez). A class that deals 20% less damage but brings multiple stops and a raid cooldown often outperforms a pure-damage spec in the context of timed keys.

Meta analysis comes from the top 500 runs on Raider.IO's leaderboards, WoW Analyzer parses, and feedback from world-first guilds who publish their setups. We update this guide with each major tuning pass.

S-Tier DPS for Mythic+ Season 2

Augmentation Evoker continues to dominate as a support DPS that amplifies the entire group's output. Arcane Mage hits extremely hard on single-target boss pull phases. Outlaw Rogue brings consistent AOE, two interrupts, and Shroud of Concealment for routing flexibility.

Feral Druid and Balance Druid are close behind — the class brings four battle rezzes, Stampeding Roar, and solid throughput in both AOE and single-target.

S-Tier Tanks

Blood Death Knight remains the safest tank in the game — nearly unkillable at high keys due to massive self-healing and Death Strike absorbs. Vengeance Demon Hunter provides top mobility and consistent AOE threat.

Protection Warrior is the meta pick for keys where you need mass interrupt (Spell Reflect, Shield Bash) and external cooldowns for the healer. Brewmaster Monk is the riskiest but highest-ceiling tank in expert hands.

S-Tier Healers

Mistweaver Monk's rework has put it at the top of M+ healing — strong throughput, Vivify healing on cooldown, and Ring of Peace for interrupt scenarios. Restoration Druid brings Innervate, a battle rez, and Regrowth-spam for reactive healing.

Preservation Evoker is the meta choice for keys where sustained healing and single-target externals (Blessing, Temporal Anomaly) prevent wipes.

B and C Tier: What's Playable vs. What's Griefing

Almost every spec is viable at sub-+15 keys — player skill matters more than spec at those levels. Above +18, bring a weak spec and you'll notice key timer pressure. Below +12, play what you enjoy.

Specs that struggle in high keys are typically those with low AOE damage (Survival Hunter, Fury Warrior after recent nerfs) or low utility relative to alternatives. GG Market sellers can advise on whether your current spec is meta for your target key level.

Class Recommendations for Different Goals

If you want to boost with strangers: play a healer or tank. Instant queues, always needed, and the key owner will take you regardless of IO. If you want to push your own IO: Outlaw Rogue, Arcane Mage, or Aug Evoker. If you want to buy a boost efficiently: any class is fine — the carry team brings the carry, not you.
