WOW Dragonflight DPS Ranking - TOP 3 DPS Specs
With the addition of talent trees in Dragonflight, we are seeing complete reworks to some classes. Therefore we wanted to share our WoW Dragonflight DPS Rankings, to help you choose a new main, or decide on the best class to play at the start of Dragonflight.
Of course you should always play what you enjoy and the not just blindly follow the meta, but this should if you are on the fence and looking for the best DPS to play, or want to make sure you bring as much value to your group as possible. So here are our WoW Dragonflight DPS rankings for Raids and Mythic Plus and our explanation of the top 3. And if you’re more interested in healing, check out our WoW Dragonflight healing Tier List
WoW Dragonflight DPS Tier List
The below dps rankings are based on raw damage in PVE, from both raids and DPS including survivability and the utility they bring to their groups. The top ranking dps will be explained in more details below
Havoc Demon Hunter:
Demon hunters have had an incredible revamp with the new talent trees, bringing up both their single target and cleave damage. Demon hunters can now take multiple talents to buff up their “Throw Glaive” for insane single target damage. And also take talents to buff out their “eye beam” making them potentially the best DPS spec of this tier
Their Maldraxxus ability “fodder to the flame” has also been kept in the havoc talent tree. Allowing demon hunters to randomly summon a demon they can explode and destroy packs in Mythic plus.
Windwalker Monk:
Monk is coming out punching in Dragonflight, with its new talent tree. Heading down the middle of the Windwalker tree leads to a handful of devastating abilities.
Using “Teachings of the Monastery” allows monks to stack blackout kick and proc additional rising sun kicks. Which sounds great for single target, but combine this with the “Shadowboxing Treads“ talent, turns this into an incredible cleave ability.
On top of this huge AoE cleave damage, monks retain their top tier mobility for mythic plus affixes and bring great buffs to the group such as “Close to the Heart” and “Generous Pour”.

Outlaw Rogue:
It wouldn’t be a new WoW expansion if rogues didn’t have an overpowered spec, and this time its Outlaw. We’ve seen from BFA that rogue survivability always makes them heroes of mythic plus, but they also bring great utility in the form of “Shroud of Concealment” and multiple stuns.
Rogues also put out of some of the best single target damage. We highly recommend going down the right side of the talent tree to grab “Dreadblades“, giving rogues both a high damage attack and follow up buff window. On top of this grabbing “Adrenaline Rush” will give you huge combo point refills to really pump in those damage windows.
