That noxxic thing is so bad , if you want to know how the dps rankings are in the current raid or 7.1.5 check this https://www.warcraftlogs.com/statistics/11 .

You can check logs from each individual class you want to play and see how they do compared to others .

Cheers !

Thanks, buddy. I dont rely on noxxic tht much either. Idk what kind of sims they do����

Keep in mind this isn't the final patch and DPS rankings will change alot. I personally believe that non-hybrid classes will rock the meters as always.

The simulations aren't accurate. They only show what a perfect rotation on a stationary target would look like. They show the potential DPS a class can do, but they aren't able to take into account the situation of the fight, which is just as important as your character's stats. In a real fight, you will never have 100% uptime.

For the most part, any melee is fairly good. Early-game, frost DKs rule pretty hard. Further end-game, the top 3 is probably Havoc DH, Fury Warr and Affli locks.

I think you should explore all classes, and play what you find is most fun. You might hear this a lot, but what do you think is better? A good feral druid, or a really bad arcane mage? The answer should be obvious. You will always be better at whatever you find fun.
When it comes to Legion, classes are actually fairly balanced. In the simulation logs that myraje linked only shows that during a perfect encounter, the difference in score between the best and worst class/spec is only about 10. And that's only 1/10th of the max score.
Now if you add in the situation, where in most encounters, you have to move, do mechanics, use defensives, change targets, etc... That 1/10th will be easily made up for in actual skill.
To give you a real example: You will have higher dps as a feral druid- as long as you're good- than an affli lock, in most boss fights. This is simply because an affli lock can never cast while moving.

This is why you should choose what you find fun. Literally anything. There are a few clear choices, like a fury warr, or a havoc dh, because of their mobility, and consistent dmg increased by nice burst windows. But there are many classes like this, and you can truly do well, as long as you can play well, no matter your class/spec.

TL;DR: Play whatever you want. Every class is good in it's own way.

(reason I'm bumping a month-old post is because this is really important information and I'm sure many people will click on this topic, because of the name, to find out for themselves.)

as far as I have seen on retail shadow priests were off the charts by far because of stm ... BUT the further you go through the patches the more he recieved nerves (but Im not shure how big hits they were)

PS: stm priests needs very low ping, specific gear and a on the point perfect rotation to climb trough the fight from the bottom to the top on damage meters

I can say for myself balance druids and warriors are really solid but you should consider one thing: some classes do really need specific legendarys to shine
