WoW SoD Phase 3 Tier List: Best DPS Classes for PvE

This spec has been awful for quite some time in PvE, so you'd best avoid playing it. 

Frost Mages have been very underwhelming so far in Phase 3, Fire Mages are simply much better at dealing damage. 

Arcane Mages have fallen to new lows in Phase 3, as it seems Blizzard has intended players to focus on being a semi-decent healer than damage-dealer.

Although Combat Rogues can be placed a bit higher, overall, their damage is not as great as other specs.

Although you can deal some sufficient damage and bring a lot of utility, most raids would prefer to take an Enhancement Shaman.

Destro Warlocks might see a shift in power as more and more players start acquiring gear, and although the sims are currently not amazing, perhaps Blizzard will lend them a hand damage-wise.

Not great, not terrible, you would be better off playing Destro of Affliction. 

Fire Mages are late bloomers as we might see their position changing later in the phase.

Although you can still pump out a lot of damage, most players prefer going for Beast Mastery.

Although the damage is not as great as other classes, the amount of utility you bring to a raid is not to be underestimated.

Affliction Warlock is difficult to pinpoint due to the low amount of players playing the spec, however, they can still bring a lot of damage with the new rune that allows their DoTs to crit.

Feral is also pumping hard this time around, as the utility you add to your group as well as the increased bleed damage is amazing.

Ranged Hunters are feeling very weak in comparison to their melee counterpart. Although you might get a lot more damage from the encounters in Sunken Temple, melee is still proving superior. 

Although there is more left to be desired damage-wise, Boomkins can be great off-healers and provide some amazing buffs to other casters in the raid. 

Shadow Priest can do massive amounts of damage, and coupled with the utility they bring, you can not go wrong with taking an SP in your group.

Currently one of the best DPS classes as Warriors are finally reaching their rightful spot as the kings of damage. 

Although lacking behind Fury, Arms can see some play here and there. Hopefully, Blizzard decides to give Arms some extra power to make them on the same level as Fury.

The better halve of the Elemental Shaman, Enhancement is one of the specs currently in the game.

Melee Hunters are once again very powerful as the damage you deal with your pet can easily outpace the ranged build.

Rogues have received a lot of love in Phase 3 as the poison damage and utility are one of the key staples to bringing this class to S-Tier.
