Last time we ranked the melee specs based on fun, and a LOT has changed since then. Between buffs, nerfs, hero talent updates, bug fixes and tuning passes, several ranged DPS specs feel completely different from how they did during the Midnight beta and even at the start of the expansion.
So today we're tackling the other half of the roster: the ranged DPS!

In this Most FUN Ranged DPS Tier List, we rank every ranged spec in World of Warcraft Midnight based on what actually makes a spec enjoyable to play. This isn't a DPS ranking and it isn't a meta tier list. Instead, we're looking at rotation design, class fantasy, talent diversity, hero talents, gameplay depth, spec identity, quality-of-life and that hard-to-explain feeling that makes you want to log in and play a spec again tomorrow.
00:00 Intro
00:36 Affliction Warlock
01:29 Augmentation Evoker
02:50 Balance Druid
04:04 Arcane Mage
05:48 BM Hunter
07:11 Demonology Warlock
08:43 Destruction Warlock
10:36 Fire Mage
12:32 Frost Mage
13:51 MM Hunter
15:05 Devastation Evoker
16:22 Devourer Demon Hunter
18:13 Elemental Shaman
19:03 Shadow Priest
From Frost Mage, Fire Mage and Arcane Mage to Demonology, Destruction and Affliction Warlock, from Shadow Priest and Balance Druid to Elemental Shaman, Augmentation Evoker, Devastation Evoker, Beast Mastery Hunter and Marksmanship Hunter, we're ranking them all based on one simple question: How much FUN are they actually in 12.0.5?
In this video:
โ Most Fun Ranged DPS Tier List
โ Most Fun Caster DPS in WoW Midnight
โ Best ranged class in Midnight for gameplay
โ Hero talent and rotation discussions
โ Spec fantasy and class identity rankings
โ What changed since the Midnight beta
โ Which specs gained fun and which lost it
โ Our updated Midnight ranged DPS rankings
Some specs surprised us in a very good way. Others... not so much. A few ranged classes climbed dramatically since our earlier rankings thanks to talent changes and better hero talent design, while others still feel like they're missing that one thing that would make them truly great.
Whether you're looking for the most fun ranged DPS, the most enjoyable caster in WoW Midnight, a new main for Mythic+, raids or open-world content, or you're simply curious where your favorite spec lands in our rankings, this tier list should give you plenty to argue about. ๐
๐ฎ We recently covered the most fun melee DPS as well, but with the current Midnight meta feeling more ranged-focused than ever, it felt like the perfect time to revisit the casters and ranged specs.
๐ฌ What do YOU think is the most fun ranged DPS in WoW Midnight right now?
And which spec do you think got the biggest glow-up since the start of 12.0.5?
