Some specs started Midnight Season 1 as complete memes.
Others entered the expansion looking like future meta kings only to slowly fall apart as players pushed higher keys, progressed deeper into Mythic raids and discovered what actually worked.
So today we're looking back at the entire season and ranking the biggest DPS winners and losers since launch.

Perfect for leveling, professions, Mythic+, raids and preparing for WoW Midnight!
This is NOT a traditional DPS tier list.
We're not simply looking at who is currently topping the DPS rankings in WoW 12.0.7. Instead, we're looking at the entire journey each specialization has taken throughout Midnight Season 1. Some specs climbed from the bottom of the barrel into top-tier performers, while others slowly lost their place in the meta despite huge expectations.

โ WoW Midnight Season 1 Retrospective
โ Mythic+ DPS Rankings Discussion
โ Raid DPS Performance Analysis
โ Frost DK, Unholy DK & Arms Warrior Success Stories
โ Frost Mage, Demonology Warlock & Feral Druid
โ Arcane Mage, Balance Druid & Devastation Evoker
โ DPS Meta Evolution Throughout 12.0.7
โ Which Specs Surprised Everyone
Some of these results genuinely surprised me.
Arms Warrior went from being one of the biggest jokes at launch to becoming one of the strongest and most respected DPS specs in Mythic+. Frost DK completed one of the biggest turnarounds we've seen all expansion, while Frost Mage finally escaped meme status and became a legitimate contender.
On the other hand, specs like Arcane Mage, Balance Druid, Marksmanship Hunter and Devastation Evoker struggled to live up to expectations despite entering Midnight with a lot of hype behind them.
Then there are specs that never truly won or lost. The ones that remained solid, competitive and perfectly viable without ever becoming the center of attention.
Whether you care about Mythic+, raids, DPS rankings, class balance, tier lists or simply enjoy seeing how the WoW Midnight meta evolved throughout the season, this video is all about looking at the bigger picture rather than today's snapshot.
๐ฎ Midnight Season 1 has easily been one of the most volatile seasons we've had in years, with constant tuning, reworks, buffs and nerfs completely reshaping the DPS landscape.
๐ฌ Which spec do YOU think had the biggest glow-up of the expansion?
And which one disappointed you the most?
