WoW Dragonflight Season 4 Best Raid Class & Spec - Dragonflight Season 4 Raid Ranking

Choosing the best class for the raid is very important in Dragonflight. In the current season, our spec ranking system carefully considers the trio of damage, utility, and survivability, each playing a pivotal role in determining a spec's effectiveness. Damage remains paramount for swift encounter resolution and alleviating pressure on tanks. Utility, too, holds significance, offering invaluable tools to navigate encounters smoothly, with staples like Bloodlust standing out. However, survivability has gained heightened importance this season, given the heightened threat levels posed by both bosses and trash mobs. Next, let's dive into Dragonflight Season 4 best raid classes and specs!

Dragonflight Season 4 Heroic Raid DPS Tier List

Initially, Marksmanship Hunter was leading the pack, but suddenly Arcane Mage, Enhancement Shaman, and Retribution Paladin emerged in the top best raid DPS in Dragonflight Season 4, despite their previous positions in the bottom half. Classes like Shadow Priest, Balance Druid, Survival Hunter, Elemental Shaman, Destruction Warlock, and Affliction Warlock consistently struggle to make an impact, remaining towards the bottom of the DPS rankings in both Heroic and Mythic modes. Surprisingly, some specs that performed poorly in Heroic mode managed to excel in Mythic difficulty. Windwalker Monk and Shadow Priest, for example, showcased unexpected strength in Mythic encounters, while previously dominant specs like Arcane Mage struggled to maintain their position.

Dragonflight Season 4 Mythic Raid DPS Tier List

In the Mythic, there have been some intriguing developments in class performance. While Marksmanship took a hit in Heroic mode, it has maintained its effectiveness in Mythic encounters. Surprisingly, Windwalker, not traditionally known for top-tier damage in raids, has secured a place in the top five. Shadow Priests, previously struggling in Heroic, have risen to prominence in Mythic rankings. Similarly, Elemental, once lagging behind in Heroic, has emerged as a formidable contender in Mythic settings. On the other hand, Arcane, which thrived in Heroic, has plummeted to the bottom tier in Mythic.

Amidst these fluctuations, some specs have exhibited consistent performance across both Heroic and Mythic content. Survival, Affliction, Demonology, both Druid specializations and Assassination Rogues have maintained their positions at the lower end of the spectrum. However, with the imminent transition to a new raid, Barus, the scope for observing these trends further will be limited, as we'll be confronting a fresh set of challenges and encounters. While the healer class hasn't been extensively scrutinized, it's worth noting that Preservation, Inv Walker, Resto Shaman, and Holy Priests have demonstrated superior performance in the early days of Season 4.

Dragonflight Season 4 Mythi+ Raid Healer Tier List

Preservation Evoker and Restoration Shaman continue to dominate at the top, showcasing consistent performance. Holy Priest, Restoration Druid, Mistweaver Monk, and Holy Paladin closely follow suit, demonstrating comparable results in healing output. Discipline Priest lags slightly behind the curve in raid healing effectiveness. It's worth noting that recent balance adjustments, including minor nerfs to Restoration Shaman, Mistweaver Monk, and Discipline Priest, have aimed to maintain a fair playing field among healers.
