DPS tier list

Damage specs ranked for dungeons in the level 30 beta: single target, cleave and big packs together. Deep talents and raid gear aren't in the beta yet, so this will move at launch.

STop damage

Marksmanship

Hunter

Top of most beta damage lists, with strong single target and safe ranged uptime.

Beast Mastery

The pet adds a lot of damage, and it is easy to play well.

AStrong

Combat

Rogue

Steady melee damage and good cleave with the right talents.

Assassination

Rogue

Poisons and burst make it great on single targets.

Fury

Warrior

Hits very hard with good gear and a healer behind it.

Affliction

Warlock

Damage over time on several targets adds up on longer pulls.

Arcane

Mage

Big burst windows, at the cost of heavy mana use.

BGood

Fire

Mage

Good damage, still waiting on its deeper talents.

Frost

Mage

Safe and good on packs, lower single target.

Demonology

Warlock

Solid with its demon, better in PvP than in dungeons.

Elemental

Shaman

Strong burst, but mana runs out on long fights.

Arms

Warrior

Good burst, behind Fury for steady damage.

Retribution

Paladin

Brings buffs and decent damage, not a top damage dealer.

CBehind

Shadow

Priest

Fine damage, but most groups want the priest healing.

Feral (Cat)

Druid

Its level 30 kit is still thin on damage.

Balance

Druid

Behind other casters at this level.
