wow What's the Best Spec for Mythic+ This Week?

[Stan 5,240]

We are looking at the best specs for Mythic+ based on this week's affixes.

Introduction

Welcome to our new format, where we explore the best specs for Mythic+ each week based on the current affixes. The data is taken from bestkeystone.com, and the amount of runs to base data on is 5,000 runs. The site gathers data from all regions and ranks each spec based on its "Average Score," depending on how well it performs in Mythic+ 10 runs that week.

Even though servers are up only for a few hours, players in the US region have already completed a few hundreds of Mythic+ runs, which means we now have the numbers to help you determine how each spec ranks this week based on the current affix rotation.

Gott feel sorry for the poor Feral. They need a rework. This is what 3rd expansion in a row where they are a joke?

It's not even that feral is bad, it's just not balance...

Feral's in a great spot.  Their AOE definitely needs help, but their single target is really good.  Take a look at warcraft logs for the strictly single target bosses like Hungering Destroyer or Sludgefist - they're always top 5, sometimes #1.  It's a harder spec to play with a history of being much harder, so it has really negative community perception.  Between the community's perception, and the fact that moonkins have trees and innervate - that's really the only thing wrong with feral.

All the top feral druid players are playing balance, so the only remaining ferals are die hards (psybearslat) - or people who care more about playing their favorite spec than they do about performance.

Feral is also really good in arena, and has been for a long time.

To summarize: Give them trees & innervate & a little aoe buff and they'd be crushing it.

Exactly. People don't like to play with them on m+ cause of lack of utilities. People always want meta team w to play with.

I feel really stupid now for never using trees as boomy, nor have I ever been asked to use them, or asked why I haven't used them. I guess up until +15 no one cares.
