How it works
Scores
Three AI judges with different lenses (the game's data, expert opinion, theory) and three AI class researchers scored every spec from 1 to 10 on 13 dimensions; we use the median, then reviewed corrections. Each kind of player weighs the dimensions differently.
Tiers
A tier is the distance from the average of the list: S is far above it, B is close to it, D is far below. So even a D spec is playable.
How sure
These are estimates from beta play, the client data and Blizzard's notes. Level 60 and the raids open on 9 Dec 2026, so expect changes after real logs.
