Rating goals and rewards

Season 2 Mythic+ rating achievements (Blizzard)
Achievement Reward Rating
Midnight Keystone Conqueror “the Venomous” title 1500
Midnight Keystone Master Breath of Blight mount 2000
Midnight Keystone Legend Breath of Ruin mount 3000
Midnight Keystone Myth 12.1.5 “the Venomous Contender” title and Timelost Saddle 3600

Keystone Myth returns with the 12.1.5 update on October 13 and now requires a 3600 rating. The “Venomous Champion” and “Venomous Hero” titles go to players who finish the season in the top 1% and top 0.1% of their region.

How to read the ranking

  • The number is the rating Murlok shows for each spec based on top players. It shows where each spec is being pushed furthest, not how “good” it is for everyone.
  • Small gaps don’t decide anything: only 22 points separate 1st and 4th place among DPS specs.

Tanks

2 Blood Death Knight 4000
3 Protection Paladin 3891
4 Brewmaster Monk 3887
5 Vengeance Demon Hunter 3855
6 Protection Warrior 3809

Guardian Druid is on top, with Blood Death Knight right behind. All six tanks sit within 234 points of each other, which is a tight spread: any of them can do high keys in the right hands.

Should you switch characters because of the ranking?

  • If you push high keys: top specs make it easier to find a group, because group leaders look at this ranking too.
  • If you play with friends or in keys your group is comfortable with: any spec on the list works. Knowing your class matters more than a few points.
  • Before switching: wait for at least a week of data, because the ranking moves with every 8-hour refresh and after every class tuning pass.

Common mistakes

  • Treating the position as a quality score for the class.
  • Switching characters over a gap of a few points.
  • Reading an old ranking: always check the update date.

The 12.1.5 update also brought class changes (for example, to Devourer Demon Hunter), so the ranking may shift over the next few weeks.
