What changed this week and why it matters for your key level.

Arcane Mage Ascendant

Midnight rework pushed Arcane to S-tier. Arcane Surge buffed 18% in 12.0.1 hotfix. Expect nerfs within 2 weeks.

Tank Meta Stable

Vengeance DH still dominates high keys (18+). Blood DK surging in raids due to March on Quel'Danas enrage timers.

BM Hunter Softcapped

Beast Mastery dropped from A to C following pack AI changes in Maisara Caverns. Marks performs better this week.

Preservation Evoker

Empowered Spiritbloom redesign made Preservation the go-to for progression healing. Carry potential significantly higher.
