The class tuning is in place, and the specs are adjusting! So it’s time to check out how that affects their rankings in our tier list!
S and A+ Tier Changes
This week’s class tuning pass arrives today on NA servers and tomorrow on EU. Our tier lists are already updated, and it’s had quite an effect on the classes. The very top spot in the S-tier remains unchanged, with Unholy holding down the fort. We then immediately see Balance creep up into 2nd. The biggest changes in the top top tier is Demonology bursting into 3rd from a high A+ spot, and Enhancement coming into 4th from a low A+ position! We now have seven specs in the S-tier, which is a pretty massive amount.
In the A+ tier, we see fewer specs, as they’ve migrated upwards. Retribution has taken over and Devastation moved up with it. Destruction made good use of its buffs and came up to third from outside the A+ tier. Frost DK also moved up, just ahead of Feral, which had to go quite a bit down to make room for the newcomers, while Assassination and Shadow have fallen out of the A+ tier entirely.
