WoW classes and specs — quick answers
How many classes and specs are in WoW Midnight?
13 classes and 40 specs: Druid has four, every other class three. Midnight's new spec is Devourer, a Demon Hunter that deals magic damage with Intellect.
Which specs are most played in high Mythic+ keys right now?
In timed +16 and higher keys in Season 2 week 7 (2026-09-29) (US and EU, every connected realm): Blood Death Knight (33.7% of tank seats), Holy Paladin (41.6% of healer seats), Arcane Mage (16.8% of DPS seats). Counted from Blizzard's Mythic Keystone leaderboards — popularity at the top end, not damage.
Which classes have Bloodlust?
Evoker, Hunter, Mage and Shaman: Evoker — Fury of the Aspects; Hunter — Primal Rage (Ferocity pet) · Harrier’s Cry (Marksmanship); Mage — Time Warp; Shaman — Bloodlust / Heroism.
Which classes have a battle res?
Death Knight, Druid, Paladin and Warlock: Death Knight — Raise Ally; Druid — Rebirth; Paladin — Intercession; Warlock — Soulstone.
Is there a raid or Delve tier list for Midnight here?
Not yet. Per-spec raid numbers come from combat logs, and the one licensed source, Warcraft Logs, needs written approval before an ad-funded site may use it. Nobody measures Delves or open-world play by spec, so those columns say “not established” instead of guessing.
What is the easiest class to learn in WoW?
No source rates difficulty for all 40 specs in PvE, so the page does not guess. What it can say: 14 specs are seen at least at an even share at every key level, from +2 to +16 and up — Blood Death Knight, Havoc Demon Hunter, Guardian Druid, Beast Mastery Hunter, Arcane Mage, Holy Paladin and more.
Classes, specs, roles, stats and descriptions were read from Blizzard’s Game Data API on 2026-10-09. The Mythic+ column counts every run on 1,400 Mythic Keystone leaderboards (175 realm groups, US + EU) for the week of 2026-09-29 → 2026-10-06: 402,962 runs, each counted once, 50,725 untimed runs left out. S ≥ 2.5× · A ≥ 1.5× · B ≥ 0.8× · C ≥ 0.4× · D below. Armour, Bloodlust and battle res come from Warcraft Wiki. Nothing is estimated; what no source states is marked “not established”.
Class and spec data, and every Mythic+ number: Blizzard Entertainment (Game Data API), read 2026-10-09. Armour, Bloodlust and battle res: Warcraft Wiki. Raid, Delves and open world are not rated — no licensed source measures them by spec. No player names, guilds or account data; your shortlist and choices stay in this browser.
