This list will be updated as new tuning and class changes come outover the course of leading up to the season's start and beyond.

About the PTR Tier List
Our analysis provides an estimate of the current Mythic+ meta with weekly updates every Sundayon the website, immediately after Sunday live on stream,until Season 2 arrives. However, it is important to remember that there will be many more changes, andwhat you see is not the final product. Instead, it is a progression of how each specialization performsfrom the start of the beta to the actual season release.

Please note that anything I say is purely subjective and represents my opinion. However, it is an educated guessbased on numerous hours of PTR testing and extensive discussions with some of the best theorycrafters from each oftheir specs. If you have a different opinion, that is perfectly fine. I will be happy to answer any questions in thecomment section. After the Beta testing is completed, we will compile all the data and create the official Tier Listof Season 2. Thank you for reading, and enjoy!
