Ranked by top parses
Ranked on each spec's top 100 logged Mythic+ runs per dungeon this season. Parses lean toward specs that get taken to the highest keys, and only damage counts, so defensives and utility don't show up here.

How this tier list is built
For every DPS spec we pull its top 100 logged Mythic+ parses from Warcraft Logs on each of the eight Season 2 dungeons, take the median DPS per dungeon (so one padded outlier can't swing a spec), and average across dungeons. Specs are ordered by that number.
Sim DPS compared across specs didn't line up with what specs actually do in keys, so this list uses logged parses instead. Sims are still the right tool for picking gear on your character, where the spec stays the same.
Updated weekly from the latest logged parses. Tier letters group specs by their share of the top spec's number, and the cut-offs are rough.
