After looking at the damage profiles from Castle Nathria bosses, we can now attempt to rank the DPS based on their strengths going into these encounters. Now we’re looking at the top 7 Melee DPS specs!
0:00 Enhancement Shaman
5:26 Assassination Rogue
9:52 Retribution Paladin
14:04 Unholy Death Knight
17:28 Havoc Demon Hunter
21:33 Frost Death Knight
25:22 Subtlety Rogue
29:05 Outro
Video from October 22nd, reuploaded from my alt-account after finally getting acces back here!

3 out, 14 more to go!
I dont get it, how havoc is S tier and not like B or C. For raids its one of worst melee, and for mythic+ now its just fine.
i like how there is 0 warrior speccs lol
Good video 👍
Man, you should have way more subs. These are some of the best class and spec breakdowns I have seen. Thanks for the info and work.
Shaman as a totem bot. Somethings never change.
I like the starting music alot 😀
Did Izen left a link somewhere where to download the weakauras?
Would absolutely love the DK ones
Where is feral?
Thank you for this detailed breakdown; this was most helpful.
You say you are an assassination main? With the changes coming to sub rouge do you think you will switch specs? Or stay assassination? @Izen Hart
Subtlety is very fun. But if assassination with exsanguination was the go-to build all of the time it would be my main spec for sure
Dude, you're blasting today! GG
Jesus dude finally…..
Which is retribution best covenant for pve? And dont say Nightfey
Anyone know what scrolling combat text he is using for the rogue part of the vid? Looks super clean
No clue how you got the idea that enhance is a "top" melee DPS, especially considering hailstorm got nerfed today and WF received even more nerfs. Ive mained the spec since the TBC days and I can tell you that enhance is certainly not one of the "top" PvE melee dps, if that were true I wouldnt be sitting here worried about if Ill even be able to get a raid spot on my enhance in Mythic raids or if anyone would even consider it for pushing higher M+ Keys. It was AT BEST middle of the pack DPS wise(probably more towards the bottom half though) among all DPS and todays nerfs to Hailstorm+Forceful Winds FAR outweigh the "buffs"(if you even want to call them that since theyre so irrelevant and insignificant) and will certainly put enhance's damage in the bottom half of DPS specs now if it wasnt already. Unless WF totem is extremely good, I have no doubts enhance will struggle to find its way into Mythic Progression/high M+ keys simply because there are plenty of specs that can at minimum do as much damage as it (and in many cases do a lot better than it)without the liability of having such a god awful toolkit and survivability, and lack of an immunity like enhance is still plagued with. And considering how many mechanics in SL look to challenge melee DPS specifically right now, spots for melee are going to be very hard to come by and being that enhance is BY FAR the squishiest melee with the worst toolkit, WF totem is its only hope for getting a raid spot and even then im not sure if it will get one unless its damage and/or survivability is buffed fairly significantly(which doesnt seem likely since its receiving far more nerfs to its damage than buffs).
Best tier list for shadowlands so far on YOutube. Because it explains exerything very clearly, positives and negatives for each class.
Great stuff as always, but you clearly made this before the DH Unbound Chaos nerfs
i dont think you should be ranking havoc in S tier just because of their passive, the actual spec is horrible atm and will be limited to 1 in raids while every other S tier wont have a similar situation where you will be told " sry already have a DH"
which one is better on single target breath or obliteration ?
You should have waited for tuning to release these videos, they're 2 weeks (2 builds) out of date.
Is this info still good on frost dks? The forums are acting like frost dk got stabbed to death in an alley! Did I miss something that gutted the spec? This video makes them sound like they are in an amazing place so Im not sure where all the hate from dk mains is coming from
Good work! More ”DPS” videos should be like this.
What is Ur battletext addon? Nice Video 🙂
Subbed, you legit.
What are all the comments about tuning and numbers? Unless I am mising something this video is not about actual numbers but what the spec could be if tuned properly based on the DMG PROFILE and important abilities/buffs/auras they provide as mentioned in the earlier video
DH S tier dps forever 😎🤘
basically just don't play warrior
I realy like your honost comments on the classes. BUT i must disagree on the mobility on DK's everyone says the are slow but they are not tbh. There a few races that pimp the mobility. Take Worgen or the Dark iron ( indoor ) for example they have movement boosts
"Enhancement could be required in a raid"
Blizzard about to delete windfury
Enhancement can never have a real role, it's why I have a rogue. They're always S tier.
Keep it the same way , you will get very popular. Good Job!
Can Blizzard stop fucking Warriors in the Ass? No one whants Hybrid classes like Shaman or Pala over a Warrior. Fuck this.
monk should stay in temple more XD
I'm subbed for good. These are definitely the best spec and class breakdowns with a bit of humor seasoned in. Pure gold.
Omg, Frost DK at S tier?….If he´s the weakest dps with ridicolous dmg!!
Avalanche scales of mainhand not dualwield
Look, warrior are shit again…
Unholy bis covenant is Venthyr disregard the unholy section.
too bad unbound chaos got reworked…
Enhancement is terrible. It felt better before spamming SS and fillers.
Now it seems like nothing means anything really. So random, and moments of down time.
No burst.
I'll just stick with Sub rogue this exp, and ele.
Are you actually sure Enhancement is worth anything? all i have heard and seen is that they are literally trash tier.
is this info old? is frost dk looking good or no?
first time i come by your videos and i do hope you take this as positive feedback but this title man :D.. i mean i legit entered to have a quick laugh about what bs rankings u might have, but the actual breakdown of dmg profiles and pros/cons is good content.
At least for me, I woud've been more interested in just knowing its good breakdown video of each spec, rather than 'rankings system'. Nevertheless, it did get me here so I will be keeping an eye on the content :).
Hi Izen hart, can i please have your ret pala interface
what addons are you using for that paladin or in general?
