This week, Tettles gives his predictions for Season 3 of Mythic+ and the Encrypted Affix, detailing what he thinks the best specs will be based on the current PTR!
The Meta
With the new seasonal affix,
Зашифрованный
, being available on the PTR in conjunction with Double Legendaries and Tier Sets being around for testing, there seems to be a lot of interesting stuff going on in M+. With that being the case, there seems like there may be a shake-up in the class meta for dungeons currently (but probably not). Let's take a look at some of the classes and how they may be utilized.
Bugs and Potential Changes
As with anything on the PTR, things are subject to tuning passes, bug fixes, and other potential changes. Right now there seems to be an incredibly unintended bug with the
Расшифрованный код Урт
where players are getting 9x Cooldown Reduction on their Covenant ability instead of the intended 3x. This will likely be resolved and I will not be making any speculation based off this Covenant Cooldown Reduction bug.
Tanks
The tank meta is quite an interesting one. A lot of the tanks are very close for M+ and ultimately it is player skill that differentiates a lot of tanks from one another. While most tanks this season seem to be very durable and there are reports that all tanks "feel tankier", there are still a few that are above the rest.
Prot Pally
Protection Paladin is a spec that saw an increase in popularity come Season 2 of Shadowlands. With Season 3 this will likely continue as the Prot Pally 4 set
Славная цель
is one of the strongest in the game. Protection Paladin also has this perception that they are only high DPS and not tanky, this is not true. Prot Pally is one of the tankiest tanks for M+ while also doing some of the most damage, and if it is played properly it can do world first level keys.
Brewmaster Monk
Brewmaster Monk is a spec that was already decent to middle of the pack in Season 2 of Shadowlands, but the 4 Set
Бочонок Небес
they are getting in 9.2 makes them turbo broken. The amount of self sustain and AOE damage that the 4 set provides makes Brewmaster absolutely unstoppable. The ability to be able to kite, the utility that monk provides to groups, and now top tier damage puts them in a position where they are very well suited for 9.2 dungeons.
Healers
The healer meta is the one that has been the most stagnant for a long time. The TLDR for the differences between 9.1 and 9.2 is Hpally looks to be struggling a lot while almost all the other healers can be pretty solid. Typically the things that differentiate healers from one another in keys is their ability to do the most amount of damage while keeping the group alive.
Resto Druid
Somebody call JB because Resto Druid seems like they will be one of the best healers coming into 9.2. Resto Druid has been doing top tier healing most of the expansion while the utility has never been anything to be scoffed at, but they have been largely overlooked due to their damage. With the nerf of Holy Paladin and the addition of double legendaries, Kyrian Resto Druid is very strong. This is largely due to the fact that they can run double damage legendaries. There isn't a Druid specific legendary that is particularly good for them, but it is better than nothing. However, the link when paired with
Связь близких душ
is a stupid amount of damage to any of your DPS that you are linked to due to the raw amount of stats it will grant you.
Resto Shaman
Resto Shaman unsurprisingly benefits the most from the nerfs to Holy Paladin and the addition of double legendaries to their kit. This allows Resto Shaman to run Kyrian for
Тотем вечернего колокола
Яростный перезвон
&
Камень глубинного землетрясения
in almost all situations and lose little to no throughput healing wise in dungeons. Double Damage legendaries is for obvious reasons very very powerful. This, similar to Resto Druid, makes their ability to do damage cost very little while still maintaining top tier throughput. The utility of interrupts, stuns,
Элементаль земли
, and much more has made Resto Shaman good all of Shadowlands, and I suspect they will remain one of the best healers in 9.2.
DPS
DPS is obviously the most flexible position since there are 3 of them. A lot of what comes into making a DPS composition is filling out what you really want utility, damage, and player-wise for your group. There are a lot of DPS comps that can do incredibly high keys, so it is just about how you want to pull a dungeon and the things you value. I do seriously think this season could be a Frost Mage, Destro Warlock, + 3rd season, but if I speculated against rogue I would be dumb.
Frost Mage
Main Character. Turbo broken. Does the most damage. You also need
Жажда крови
.
More analytically, the strength of Frost Mage a lot of the time comes from the fact that they are unkillable, do absolutely absurd damage on AOE while having not that bad single target, and their utility, while not the best, is still important because you do really want
Жажда крови
in some capacity to avoid having to use drums. Also right now, if you are going to kill
Расшифрованный код Урт
and give them the CDR they are able to abuse it heavily with
Переходящая сила
. Frost seems to be one of the highest DPS specs in the game by a decent margin and unsurprisingly will probably be brought to many of the top end groups.
Subtlety Rogue
I'd be a foolish man to bet on a season that Rogue would not be present. Subtlety proportionally is not getting a lot stronger compared to some of it's DPS counterparts with Double Legendary + Tier. They did get a bit of a bump to their sustained AOE, but I am of the opinion it will be on the lower end damage wise. It could potentially fall out of favor, but I believe it is still an incredibly important piece of M+. The amount of priority damage and CC utility that a rogue provides to a key is instrumental and if you ever elect to kill
Расшифрованный код Урт
then your Rogue is quite happy. While you can proc a shroud with the seasonal affixes
Расшифрованный код Во
, nothing is better than the original and the amount of utility a rogue provides is unmatched.
3rd DPS slot
2 Potential DPS are on my radar right now for a 3rd DPS slot.
Destro Warlock - This spec is probably one of the few specs that does more damage than Frost Mage currently. They are also running some Venthyr build that works with their mastery. The downside of Destro is that they need many many targets to do good damage, but they have permanent
Призыв инфернала
even without the
Расшифрованный код Урт
CDR from
Аватара разрушения
.
Survival Hunter - Incredibly bugged 4 set
Сумасшедший бомбардир
right now, and their tier set is giving them an unholy amount of damage. They are finishing keys at around 35k DPS overall in some spots compared to most other DPSes balmy 16k. If the tier set does not get bug-fixed then the spec will be the best in the game by far.
