The last seven days, October 25 to October 31, 2026: the news, how the specs moved in the rankings, what the site's researcher updated, and the dates ahead.
Spec movement shows here once raids open on December 9, 2026 and the rankings have a week of logs. Until then, the tier list shows the sourced performance signal.

MythicSim's latest snapshot (Oct 23) puts Survival Hunter first at 1,215 DPS on a two-minute single-target fight with a weave build. Demonology Warlock is second at 977 DPS and Fury Warrior third at 955 DPS. These are simulations using reference builds; real raid performance remains unconfirmed.

SixtySim's matrix also ranks Survival Hunter first at 1,280 DPS, followed by Fury Warrior at 1,073 DPS. Both simulators agree on the top spec despite different reference builds and gear assumptions.
betaclassesBeta
The October 15 beta build introduced significant changes to racial abilities (Tauren, Dwarf, Human, Orc, Undead, Gnome, Night Elf, Troll) and the new Skyborne race. Class adjustments include a redesigned Arcane Blast for Mages, a new Frost Blast spell, Hunter auto-shot standing requirements, and Druid talent fixes. Several pet abilities were also rebalanced.
