Important Notes
- •Rankings are based on skill floor — how difficult a spec is to pick up and perform reasonably well in PvP.
- •A low skill floor means simple rotations, forgiving gameplay, and less punishment for mistakes.
- •A high skill floor requires understanding complex mechanics like diminishing returns, cooldown trading, and precise positioning.
- •These rankings are universal across all PvP brackets (Solo Shuffle, 2v2, 3v3).
This tier list ranks specs by skill floor – the minimum effort needed to be effective as a new player. Every spec has room to grow in MoP, but these rankings help you pick a starting point!
