If I had to start Patch 12.1 all over again... which DPS would I actually main?
With WoW Midnight Season 2 almost here and PTR changes still shaking up the classes, it's time for my very first Mains & Alts Tier List for 12.1. This isn't a traditional DPS tier list based on damage numbers—it's about which specs I genuinely want to invest hundreds of hours into this season, which ones make fantastic alts, and which ones I simply can't get excited about anymore.

✅ Mains & Alts Tier List for Patch 12.1
✅ Best Classes to Main in WoW Midnight
✅ Best Alt Classes for Season 2
✅ My Personal DPS Rankings
✅ PTR Gameplay Impressions
✅ Tier Set & Talent Design Discussion
✅ Which Specs Feel Worth Maining?
✅ Midnight Season 2 Class Impressions
Choosing a main isn't just about picking the strongest spec on a DPS tier list. It's about finding a class that stays fun after hundreds of Mythic+ keys, raid nights and weekly vaults. That's exactly what this video is about.
We go through every DPS specialization and rank them based on how exciting they feel to play in WoW 12.1, looking at their current tier sets, talent design, gameplay depth and how much player choice they actually offer. Some specs have become far more engaging on the PTR, while others feel like they've lost a lot of what made them special.
Whether you're trying to decide what to main in WoW 12.1, looking for the best class to main in Midnight, or simply searching for a fun alt for Season 2, hopefully this helps you narrow down your choices before launch.
Some of the biggest winners for me include Shadow Priest, Outlaw Rogue, Arcane Mage, Frost Death Knight, Enhancement Shaman, and Feral Druid, while several other specs still need a bit more love before I'd consider maining them.
💬 Now it's your turn!
What are YOU planning to main in Patch 12.1?
Did your favorite class make your own "main" list... or is it becoming an alt this season?
