Blizzard treats World of Warcraft players to a new set of spicy Mythic+ affixes every week, forcing them to improvise and find together new strategies and routes. While new routes and other strategies will predominantly be the tank’s worry, every WoW player should know which classes and specs work the best with this week’s affixes if they want to have a good time doing their key.
Ideal classes and specs for specific affixes will vary from week to week and there will be times when this won’t be in accordance with DPS and healer tier lists. In high-end Mythic+ keys, however, you should still stick to meta picks to optimize your damage and healing output and maximize your chances for success.
If you love putting together your own Mythic+ group, here are tanks, healers, and DPS classes you should have on your side this week.
The best team compositions for Mythic+ dungeons in World of Warcraft Dragonflight
Best tanks for Mythic+ dungeons this week: Guardian Druid and Vengeance Demon Hunter
When looking at your tank options in Dragonflight, you’ll notice you don’t have much of a choice. Your go-to tanks every week should be Guardian Druids and Vengeance Demon Hunters. Not only do they have strong tools to survive the initial burst of packs once pulled, but they can also dish out solid damage and help out in the damage department. Besides that, they are great punching bags, and surviving the Tyrannical bosses paired with the Entangling affix shouldn’t pose a problem for them at all.
Guardian Druids will be especially good this week because of the Raging affix and their Soothe ability. Besides that, if you’re planning on building your Mythic+ teamcomp around Augmentation Evokers, Guardian Druids are the best option you have this week because of the Soothe and battle resurrection ability.
Best healers for Mythic+ dungeons this week: Holy Paladin and Restoration Druid
This week, healers should keep their eyes glued on the tanks because of the Ragining affix and “tank buster” spells that might delete their entire health bar. Bosses this week will be more durable and deal additional damage as well. So, make sure to save your big cooldowns for the bosses.

Holy Paladins are easily the best choice of a healer this week since they have strong healing and damage output. Although this week did introduce nerfs to their overall damage and healing, I’d say they are still a top-tier healer because they don’t really struggle, like some other healers, with topping off the party and then dealing damage.
Your second-best option this week is Restoration Druids. Restoration Druids aren’t currently top-tier healers, but you’ll really want to side with them this week because of their Soothe and battle resurrection abilities, especially if you can’t find Guardian Druid to be your tank.
Best DPS for Mythic+ dungeons this week: Augmentation Evoker, Mage, and Shadow Priest
The week of July 11 was marked by one thing and one thing only—Augmentation Evokers breaking the meta and becoming obligatory for basically all high-end Mythic+ dungeons. The spec, although it doesn’t dish out much raw damage, is actually incredible when paired with two carry specs. On top of that, it still brings the regular Evoker utility spells and AoE ability that de-enrages mobs.
Ideally this week, you also want to have at least one Shadow Priest to help your healer with dispelling and top the DPS charts with their incredible single-target damage. Besides that, Shadow Priests have strong utility but lack in the CC department, but when paired with an Augmentation Evoker, you won’t need to worry much about that because you’ll burn through the enemies’ health bars like it’s nothing.
Fire Mages will be yet another great DPS spec to bring to Mythic+ dungeons, especially if you pair them with Shadow Priests and Power Infusion and Augmentation Evokers, and their endless list of buffs. Normally, they should melt through the bosses’ health pool and before you know it your key will be timed.
