Back in the WoW Midnight pre-patch we ranked the most fun melee DPS specs in the game… and let’s just say, a LOT has changed since then. Between 12.0.5 buffs and nerfs, hero talent tuning, bug fixes and complete shifts in how some specs are played, the melee landscape in World of Warcraft Midnight feels VERY different now.

In this Most Fun Melee DPS Tier List for WoW Midnight, we rank every melee spec based on what ACTUALLY makes a spec enjoyable to play in 12.0.5. This isn’t just about raw damage or the Midnight melee DPS tier list meta. We’re looking at rotations, spec fantasy, talent build diversity, hero talents, gameplay flow, mechanics, visuals, sound design, overall vibe and just how satisfying these specs feel after all the recent tuning changes.
00:00 Intro
00:26 Arms Warrior
01:36 Assassination Rogue
03:49 Outlaw Rogue
04:25 Survival Hunter
05:23 Enhancement Shaman
06:31 Feral Druid
07:26 Frost DK
08:35 Fury Warrior
10:00 Havoc DH
10:58 Ret Paladin
12:53 Sub Rogue
14:00 Unholy DK
15:33 Windwalker Monk
Some melee specs became way more fun after recent buffs and bug fixes, while others lost a bit of their identity or ended up feeling too repetitive despite being strong in the Midnight melee meta. A lot of specs also shifted hero talents or talent builds entirely since the pre-patch, changing the pace and rhythm of their gameplay in ways we honestly didn’t expect.
In this video:
