The best class right now

I made a recopilation of general data about every spec of the game on every game mode that wow have to offer.

This recopilation is about how is the game actually so can change due to updates.

This is only for study purpouse and i dont want to take any merit of other recopilation that helped mine. And I do not want to affirm anything related to what is op, have best burst, best heals, peels etc.

Source: Mostly of murlok io and icy veins.

How was the source have been recopilated? quoted by murlok “Murlok io’s rankings system from a calculated average of rating and character count within the top 50 of each class specialization.”

How numbers works here? Like golf, less amount its better because its close to “number 1”

They are separated by game mode and class, every class have their spec, red for dps, green for heal and grey for tanks, blue are numbers 1 on that bracket, yellow for class and the sum.

I share with yall this table because my main target was search the most reliably class in wow atm (speaking in all terms of gamemodes). But i realize that you cant have a “general view” with this because there are classes like DH that only have 2 specs and have advantage in a calculated form against DRUIDS with 4 specs.

I think it can be very interesting to trying to understand the buffs and nerfs that devs are making (understanding that wow is not only a pvp or pve game) and what should they have to do based on numbers and not only opinion.

With a fast view we have these specs…

Tank: Vengeance DH
Healer: Holy Paladin
Dps: Unholy DK but WW is very close.

Its interesting what happens with resto druid, they are last in almost every bracket but in 2v2 are numbers 1.

Frost DK is killing it. It has a power level of over 24 in every PvP bracket wow who would have thought.

Didn’t OP say lower numbers were better? Or am I being whooshed right now

I’m just being sarcastic and passive-aggressively complaining about FDK.

Fair enough.

However, if this is taking the top 50 of each spec it means there’s no accounting for spec popularity versus its power. Some things just dont have a lot of people playing it but are actually really strong right now. Arcane mage comes to mind.

Oh yeah statistics are never the end all be all. Tbh I only skimmed the explanation of what he was even doing.

It would be ideal if he could, instead, take the top X%ile. Would be more representative, at least.

if statistics also showed winrates of specs at certain mmr and showed the winrates of comps as well it would be a diff story

Maybe we need more time, because i think the same.

Specs like outlaw or arcane will continue scaling, they are in the process of “realizing that are strong” and maybe in a couple of weeks the lader will reflect it.

arms warrior is now best class in the game bladestorm gona hit like 55k

You could in theory take all the classes at 1800 as a baseline and compare that to all classes at 2400 and define which class requires the most skill increase from 1800-2400. Which would again like every time I do it probably pick feral as the highest.

2v2 because they don’t have to spread hots to as many targets and there isn’t as much swapping or purges or cc for hots to fall off. And less time managing hots means more time doing other things
