PvP Healer Tier List

• The Meta is a tier list of specializations based on real in-game statistics. The page shows which specs are currently stronger in Mythic+ dungeons, raids and PvP, to help you pick a class and spec to play.
• Tiers are built from real player data: DPS/HPS, PvP rating, spec popularity and results over the selected period. The system analyses the statistics and sorts specs into the S/A/B/C/D tiers.
• S-tier — within 3% of the best spec; A-tier — within 8%; B-tier — within 15%; C-tier — within 25%; D-tier — more than 25% behind. A tier shows how close a spec is to the best result, not its overall ranking position among all classes.
• The system uses clustering: specs with similar numbers are grouped into one tier. This avoids artificial boundaries between specs that are nearly equal.

• Mythic+ — keystone dungeons; Raid — raid bosses and raid logs; PvP — arenas, Solo Shuffle, Rated Battlegrounds and other PvP modes.
• Separate tier lists are available for DPS, Healers and Tanks. Mythic+ also has a separate category, Dungeon Ease — a rating of how hard the dungeons themselves are, rather than spec strength.
• It's an assessment of how hard dungeons are to complete in Mythic+. It shows which dungeons players clear more easily and which take more effort. Useful, for example, when you want to find a dungeon to farm currency with as little hassle as possible.

• The filter switches the game content: Midnight, Mists of Pandaria Classic, Fresh Classic, Fresh TBC. Each option uses its own statistics and a separate meta.
• The filter shows the meta for different Mythic+ ranges: All keys, 16+, 13–16, 2–12. The meta can differ noticeably between difficulty levels.
• It lets you view statistics separately for Mythic, Heroic and Normal raids. In Classic, Normal and Heroic formats are available for 10 and 25 players.
• Every week, after the in-game reset, a separate snapshot of the meta is captured. The filter lets you open statistics from past weeks and see how things changed across the season.

The arrows show a spec's position change compared with the previous week: a green up arrow means the spec moved up, a red down arrow means it moved down. This helps you track trends and balance changes.

• It's the averaged result of players. The metric shows a spec's stable effectiveness and its real strength in regular play — how well it performs for the majority of players. This is the main and recommended view.
• It's a spec's best recorded result — the top log entry for that specialization. The metric shows a spec's ceiling, its strength under ideal conditions, and its potential for records and high-end content.
• It depends on your goal: for a fair overall picture, choose Average DPS/HPS; if you're interested in a spec's potential at the top level, switch to Max DPS/HPS. For steady play and progression, the average values are best.
• The tier list is recalculated for the selected metric. A spec can be average in stability but very strong in peak potential — or the other way around.

• Bracket: 2v2, 3v3, Rated Battlegrounds, Solo Shuffle, Battleground Blitz. Metric: Popularity, Average rating, Maximum rating.
• How often players pick this spec in the selected PvP mode. Popularity doesn't always mean strength, but it helps you understand current trends and how in-demand a spec is.

The main weekly snapshot is captured after the in-game reset on Wednesday. Within the week, the data is updated every 8 hours.

The recommended way: keep the current week, choose Average DPS/HPS, and read the tier as a measure of closeness to the top, not as a ranking position. Note: S-tier doesn't mean a spec is mandatory, and D-tier doesn't mean it's unplayable — the gap between specs can be small and depends on player skill, the group and the specific content.
