Most Popular Specializations with Top DPS

Specs like Retribution Paladin, Fury Warrior, and Arcane Mage are very popular, and for a good reason. They offer consistently strong DPS in Heroic Nerub-ar Palace, sitting at the top of the chart.

Popular But Underperforming

Frost Death Knight doesn’t perform as well as some of the other specs, despite its popularity. Similarly, Havoc Demon Hunter struggles to deliver top-tier DPS despite its large following.

Low Popularity, High Performance

Not every top-performing spec gets the attention it deserves. Fire Mage, for example, delivers great DPS but remains under-appreciated in terms of player count. Other specs, including Subtlety Rogue, Arms Warrior, and Devastation Evoker also see excellent performance in Heroic Nerub-ar Palace, but aren’t seeing the player numbers that their damage potential could justify.

Specs Struggling on Both Fronts

Some specs not only have lower DPS but also low popularity. Outlaw Rogue and Survival Hunter sit near the bottom of both categories, which may be a sign they need a tuning pass in a future patch. The same can be said about Feral Druids.
