Trying to decide what to main in Patch 12.1?
After spending a lot of time testing specs on the PTR and looking at where WoW Midnight Season 2 is heading, these are my personal picks for the Top 5 Melee DPS I would seriously consider maining.
This isn't another 12.1 Melee DPS Tier List based purely on damage meters. Performance always changes, but great gameplay lasts an entire season. That's why this list focuses on specs that are engaging, rewarding to master and simply fun to play in both Mythic+ and raids.

Choosing a main isn't just about playing whatever happens to be at the top of the 12.1 DPS Tier List. It's about finding a spec that keeps you excited after hundreds of dungeon runs, raid nights and weekly resets. In this video we talk about the melee specs that stand out because of their gameplay, class fantasy and overall design going into Season 2.
From the complexity of 12.1 Outlaw Rogue, to the satisfying gameplay of 12.1 Frost DK, the incredible visuals and flow of 12.1 Enhancement Shaman, the unique identity of 12.1 Havoc Demon Hunter, and the return of 12.1 Arms Warrior as a genuinely exciting option, these are the melee specs that caught my attention the most while testing the PTR.
Whether you're looking for the best class to main in 12.1, searching for the best melee DPS for Midnight Season 2, or simply trying to find a spec that feels rewarding every time you log in, I hope this video helps you narrow down your choices before launch.
