However, the class suffers from a lack of short cooldowns and a reliance on their cooldowns. Arms WarriorĪrms Warriors are excellent at single to two-target encounters, due to their Sweeping Strikes, and bring multiple cooldowns that aid the group. The ability Summon Demonic Tyrant is a great boon for lengthening summon survival, but it's just a weaker spec than others. It's worth re-speccing as Affliction just for Castle Nathria. This spec has high survivability in the use of Soul Link, but overall average damage across the board. Liberal use of the Havoc ability throughout a raid can help to mitigate this, and the ability Rain of Chaos makes for amazing encounters. This spec offers great AOE damage, but that rarely comes into play in Castle Nathria - and this class spec's single-target output is lacking. They're good for self-defense and self-sustain, but unless played well, their pets just tend to get in the way of tanks maintaining aggro. Beast Master Hunterīeast Masters might have been supreme in Mythic Ny'alotha, but now are mainly single-target damage dealers. It uses a number of trap-type abilities which bosses tend to avoid, and brings little utility to the raid group.

It's fun for leveling, but not great for the end-game. This spec has always been low on the damage charts, and Shadowlands did little to change this. If being the top DPS Shadowlands allows is important to the player, steer clear of these specs. These are specs that are useful in some situations, but not necessarily in Mythic raiding. These class specializations have few useful group utilities, and provide meager damage compared to other specs. In general, it's best to play whichever class and spec calls to players the most – but be sure to optimize the rotation or, one's spot in the raid party might be passed to somebody else.

With the new update comes some changes to the Castle Nathria DPS Rankings. Classes like the Unholy Death Knight become more common, and classes like Arms Warriors fall sharply in the rankings.

Plenty of guilds will still be running Nathria, though, to catch up or pick up loot that hasn't been acquired quite yet. Updated Augby Erik Petrovich: The 9.1 update brought a brand new raid to World of Warcraft: Shadowlands, being the Sanctum of Domination. As a DPS, it's important to consider re-speccing if your chosen class specialization is at the bottom of Castle Nathria rankings. If you're a Raid leader, don't waste time recruiting specs that will only slow down the group's progression – instead, look back to Castle Nathria to easily determine which classes will be most useful. Going into the next patch, knowing WoW dps rankings will be key in clearing the Sanctum of Domination efficiently. RELATED: Shadowlands: All Tanking Specs, Ranked While many guilds had trouble with Sire Denathrius at first, he has now been downed many times at Mythic difficulty. Castle Nathria is the only raid available in World of Warcraft Shadowlands before update 9.1, when the raid The Sanctum of Domination will be added.
