What Melee DPS spec should you play in Shadowlands? Choosing a class or spec can be a really difficult question, especially for returning players, as so much has changed for some classes during the Shadowlands testing cycle. From the
Unpruning
to the
GCD changes
, most classes are receiving new gameplay tools in the expansion, not to mention those which have had their spells and talents overhauled entirely!
On this page, you will learn more about each Melee DPS spec's gameplay in Shadowlands, to help you decide if a certain spec is a perfect choice for you or not. Below each description, we provide links to read more about each specialization in our class guides, where we will delve into the strengths of each specialization, as well as describe the impact of changes like new abilities, AoE Caps, and GCD Changes.
Note that these guides are
not a Tier List
, as we won't be delving into comparisons between specs. While pre-patch is around the corner, there's still some time until Shadowlands launches, and Blizzard is still making adjustments to classes, covenants, and legendaries, all of which will influence any attempt to rank classes. We just hope to show, through speaking about each spec's strengths and gameplay, what makes that spec unique when compared to its peers.
Remember that, at the end of the day, the choice of what to play is yours and yours alone.
How Frost Death Knight Plays in Shadowlands
The Frost Death Knight is a proc-based spec with a core kit of three spells:
湮灭
,
凛风冲击
and
冰霜打击
.
湮灭
deals direct damages and spends our
Rune
resource. It also absorbs our procs of
杀戮机器
which guarantees a critical strike! We have a total of 6 Runes that regenerate over 10 seconds (decreasing with haste) once we spend them. We can regenerate 3 Runes at any given time so it's important to always keep 3 on Cooldown to maximise this recharge! The Runes we spend generate
Runic Power
which we spend on
冰霜打击
. Finally, when we gain procs of
白霜
from using our
湮灭
s, they are used on
凛风冲击
, which also applies our DoT,
冰霜疫病
.
Coming in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch is the ability to use both 1-handed and 2-handed weapons. We can go for the fast-hitting dual-wield option that allows us to utilise two of our special weapon enchants from the Runeforge. We can also choose a heavy-hitting 2-handed weapon that greatly boosts our
湮灭
damage through
冰冻废土之力
!
The Frost Death Knight is the master of death, magic, and frost. We can control Undead Minions through
控制亡灵
, raise fallen allies with
复活盟友
and summon the dead to do our bidding with
亡者复生
. We are masters of magical defense, both negating magical debuffs and absorbing magical damage through
反魔法护罩
and
反魔法领域
. The latter boosts our utility by providing great magical defense zones for our allies. Finally, we control the power of the undead frost dragons, expelling their frosty breath with
冰龙吐息
or calling them to rain havoc on the battlefield with
冰霜巨龙之怒
and
冰霜雏龙之怒
.
Playing a Frost Death Knight in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch presents a large number of different and flavourful builds. You can either go for the bursty cleavy build relying heavily on
冰龙吐息
, a consistent and fast-paced
冰盖
build or one focusing on big
湮灭
damage through
湮没
.

How Unholy Death Knight Plays in Shadowlands
The Unholy Death Knight is a master of undead pets and deadly diseases. We utilize a core rotation of
脓疮打击
,
天灾打击
,
凋零缠绕
and
爆发
.
脓疮打击
costs two
Runes
and applies 2-3
溃烂之伤
s.
Runes
are our primary resource. We have a total of 6 that regenerate over 10 seconds (decreasing with haste) once used. A maximum of three can regenerate at any given time.
溃烂之伤
is a secondary "resource" acting as a debuff on any target we fight and
天灾打击
spends these
溃烂之伤
s by popping them on our target, dealing damage. Spending Runes generates our third resource,
Runic Power
, which we spend on
凋零缠绕
. Finally,
爆发
is used to keep up our DoT,
恶性瘟疫
.
The Unholy Death Knight wields a great 2-handed weapon that we enchant with our powerful Runeforges. We excel in AoE scaling, reaching places other classes can only dream of. We have been nerfed in this regard in the Shadowlands Pre-Patch, but the potential is definitely still there. We also do well for short single target burst, given that we have our powerful
亡者大军
ready!
The Unholy Death Knight is the master of death, magic defense, and shadow. We can control Undead Minions through
控制亡灵
, raise fallen allies with
复活盟友
and summon hordes of the dead to do our bidding with
亡者复生
,
天启
,
召唤石像鬼
and
亡者大军
. We are masters of magical defense, both negating magical debuffs and absorbing magical damage through
反魔法护罩
and providing great magical defense zones for our allies with
反魔法领域
. Finally, we infect our enemies with the shadowy diseases,
恶性瘟疫
and
邪恶虫群
, and infect their open wounds with
溃烂之伤
s.

How Havoc Demon Hunter Plays in Shadowlands
Havoc is a rather simple spec to pickup. Our talents offer a variety of playstyles for all types of players, ranging from a standard melee spec of building and spending resources to a talent build utilizing our extreme mobility to buff our damage.
Our core toolkit involves abilities like
眼棱
,
献祭光环
,
混乱打击
,
邪能冲撞
and
刃舞
. Using the talent build suggested later in this guide will have you pressing these core spells mostly on cooldown and even make use of
邪能冲撞
as an important damaging ability.
Our
武器技能
allows us to wield two fast melee weapons which fits our fast-paced nature perfectly. Havoc excels at burst AoE, melee cleave and our single target damage is also decent.

How Feral Druid Plays in Shadowlands
Feral is a mobile DPS spec with a damage profile oriented around finishers and maintaining bleeds. The spec is oriented around shapeshifting and there's a multitude of collectible forms for the spec accessible from the barbershop.
Anyone who's played Feral Druid over the last decade will remain broadly familiar with how to play the spec going into Shadowlands. The spec continues to play similarly to Battle for Azeroth, maintaining Bleeds (
割裂
and
斜掠
) and filling other finishers with
凶猛撕咬
.
There have been more changes to how the spec plays for Shadowlands which will be detailed in the relevant sections but returning Feral players should be pretty confident out of the box when Shadowlands Pre-Patch drops. New players to the spec shouldn't be afraid of picking it up though. Feral might have a reputation of being intimidating and hard to pick up, but that is largely history.

How Survival Hunter Plays in Shadowlands
The Survival Hunter is a brutal melee combatant, abandoning its range weapons for close combat ones, preparing to face their enemies eye-to-eye. Survival revolves around the core rotation of
毒蛇钉刺
,
杀戮命令
,
猛禽一击
and
野火炸弹
. The core gameplay is to generate
Focus
with
杀戮命令
to make sure you maintain
毒蛇钉刺
and spend excess on
猛禽一击
, which can get a bit more complex when using some of the talent combinations, but generally doesn't add extra buttons to your rotation.
Survival has unique mastery in that not only does it increase your damage, but also increases your survival with constant passive healing. However, it is important to remember that while Survival also heavily depends on pets like Beast Mastery, it is still unable to tame exotics pets. Furthermore, you can use your
灵龟守护
to immune dangerous abilities, or
假死
to make enemies lose interest in you.
Furthermore like other hunters, you will be able to put down
焦油陷阱
to slow down enemies in an area, dispel enraged with
宁神射击
, or use your pet via
野兽之眼
to creatively pull some mobs.

How Windwalker Monk Plays in Shadowlands
Windwalker Monks are masters of zen. Their attacks are as fast as lightning and as swift as the wind. Windwalker Monks are a melee DPS spec that uses two forms of resources, Chi and Energy. Energy builds up over time and you spend it to use abilities such as
猛虎掌
which will also grant you Chi which in turn you can use other abilities such as
怒雷破
. The spec generally functions around balancing these resources in order to get the most possible uses out of the several abilities with cooldowns like
怒雷破
and
旭日东升踢
.
Windwalker Monks have fantastic mobility with spells like
滚地翻
,
翔龙在天
, and
迅如猛虎
. One of the most favorable melee AoE specs; Windwalkers combo
风火雷电
,
怒雷破
and
神鹤引项踢
to be generally one of the stronger specs in AOE and Mythic Plus. It also has many tools to be a very powerful spec in PvP like
平心之环
.
Although Windwalker lacks an immunity, it does have several defensive abilities in
业报之触
and
壮胆酒
. Windwalker generally struggles with single target damage, such as what is prevalent in most Raid encounters.

How Retribution Paladin Plays in Shadowlands
Retribution Paladins are holy crusaders, who use a two-handed weapon to turn the power of the light into powerful damaging abilities to bring justice and vengeance to their enemies. It's the damage specialization of Paladin and is a melee spec, although it has a few abilities that can be cast from range as well.
The core of our rotation is centered around using abilities like
公正之剑
and
审判
to generate Holy Power, which is consumed to deal devastating damage with abilities like
圣殿骑士的裁决
or
神圣风暴
. Although Paladin's mobility options are somewhat limited, they have access to a large array of buffs for yourself and your party to help them throughout a fight, as well as strong healing capabilities for its role.
If playing a melee with strong group support and healing options and also some very powerful burst damage cooldowns sound appealing, then Retribution might be for you.

How Assassination Rogue Plays in Shadowlands
Want to play a Rogue that assassinates targets using deadly dagger strikes that makes them bleed and injects poison into their wounds, preventing them from escaping their fate? Want to play a master of poisons who does not need to rely on strong or quick strikes but who knows how to hurt and disable a target more efficiently. In that case, you may want to give Assassination a try!
Like any Rogue spec, Assassination uses
Energy
to attack targets. These attacks can usually be classified as either a
Builder
, that generates Combo Points, or a
Finisher
, that consumes these Combo Points for a more powerful strike.
Assassination Rogue is a more
bleed and poison centric
spec that relies on doing a noticeable amount of damage over time. It is also the easiest Rogue spec to get into as a new player since the mechanics are the easiest to understand and the pacing is slower than that of the other specs. Assassination is also always a good progression spec since the slower pacing can allow for more brain capacity to focus on bosses and the damage over time effects help to counteract downtimes when you have to move and cannot attack for a short time.

How Outlaw Rogue Plays in Shadowlands
Want to play a Rogue who fears none and jumps bravely into the fray? A combatant who uses one-handed weapons to stand their ground in open combat and unleash a whirlwind of attack against one or multiple enemies? A master of arms who can also rely on a concealed pistol to support them in combat and surprise the enemy? In that case, you may want to give Outlaw a try!
Like any Rogue spec, Outlaw uses
Energy
to attack targets. These attacks can usually be classified as either a
Builder
, that generates Combo Points, or a
Finisher
, that consumes these Combo Points for a powerful strike.
Outlaw is a very fast-paced spec where you can hit a lot of buttons for direct damage. It has the iconic
剑刃乱舞
mechanic, allowing you to do AoE damage by continuing with your standard rotation, instead of relying on AoE-specific abilities and rotations.
Often seen as a somewhat deterring aspect of the spec is
命运骨骰
, which is not very transparent to newcomers and adds some variance to how it performs. However, you should not let that interfere with your enjoyment of this specialization.

How Subtlety Rogue Plays in Shadowlands
Want to play a Rogue that doubles down on the fantasy of quick and powerful strikes from stealth? A ninja that can spray shurikens at multiple targets,
暗影步
from enemy to enemy quickly, and
疾跑
on water? A rogue who combines skilled use of daggers with the power of
the dark side
shadow magic? In that case, you may want to give Subtlety a try!
Like any Rogue spec, Subtlety uses
Energy
to attack targets. These attacks can usually be classified as either a
Builder
, that generates Combo Points, or a
Finisher
, that consumes these Combo Points for a powerful strike. Subtlety Rogues in particular love doing damage with Finishers. They excel at doing focus damage to their main target and are able to use Finishers more often in multiple target situations.
A specialty of Subtlety gameplay is that it revolves around short cooldown windows with
死亡符记
and
暗影之舞
. You will often find yourself in these windows that give access to abilities that require Stealth. While this does not have to mean Sub is a heavy burst damage spec, it certainly has a well-paced bursty gameplay feeling to it.
Even though the short cooldown gameplay can seem intimidating to newcomers, it offers an interesting flow, a compromise between fast-paced button mashing and more thoughtful execution.

How Enhancement Shaman Plays in Shadowlands
With the dawn of another expansion on the horizon, Enhancement has once again gone through some sweeping design changes, and you may have to get used to a new style all over again. This is probably one of the largest spec reworks in Shadowlands, so expect a hard transition, but the rewards are worth it.
First and foremost, the most noticeable change when you login during the pre-patch will be the removal of
Maelstrom
as a resource. This has been replaced by
漩涡武器
- a returning mechanic from the Wrath of the Lich King to Warlords of Draenor expansions that orients Enhancement more around a "battlemage" style, by weaving melee strikes with spells. Shocks also return and form the core spell portion of the spec, paired alongside the old classic strikes,
风暴打击
and
熔岩猛击
. Instead of being defined by a resource, abilities are mostly limited by cooldowns.
Enhancement's biggest changes lie in the resource system change and gameplay style. It lands somewhere between a rework and a revert, mixing the old Warlords systems of cooldown management with the
风暴使者
/
漩涡武器
proc reactions and
毁灭闪电
AoE/funnel components. The way the rotation is navigated now largely revolves around a constant juggling of different cooldowns to try and offset them from each other and avoid clashes to reduce downtime as much as possible, all while using
漩涡武器
as a mix up to fill space when clashes inevitably do occur.

How Arms Warrior Plays in Shadowlands
Arms Warriors have a relatively slow playstyle which is punctuated by short periods of burst damage during
巨人打击
. This largely revolves around resource management, as care must be taken to ensure that Rage is spent at the right time and place, as becoming Rage starved by using too many fillers means that higher priority attacks cannot be used. While the base toolkit is not overly expansive, the Essences and Azerite bonuses available during the Shadowlands Pre-Patch make it much more engaging, adding additional resources with which to fill extra GCDs, and placing great emphasis on spending as many resources as possible during Colossus Smash in order to build powerful follow-on buffs. Because nearly every ability is a resource spender, Arms Warriors always think a few steps ahead, even if not filling every single global cooldown available.

How Fury Warrior Plays in Shadowlands
Fury Warriors have a fast-paced playstyle which focuses on sustained damage rather than spikes of big burst. With only one Rage spending ability, the goal of the rotation is simple: generate enough rage to cast
暴怒
and maintain
激怒
, although a multitude of different abilities will be used along the way. Because every other ability is a resource generator and has a short or no cooldown, Fury Warriors are always active, without any downtime spent waiting for something to do. This makes it highly engaging and proves that a specialization doesn't need to be complicated in order to be fun.

I'm not sure a lot of the community will agree with your overview with enhance. I've not played at max level so i'm looking forward to being proven wrong but I have my doubts

The second half of the section about Arms warriors in Shadowlands is concerning...
It's titled "How Arms Warrior Plays in Shadowlands," but has information regarding essences and azerite traits which will NOT be used in Shadowlands. Yes, they can be used in pre-patch, but this is also aimed at returning players who may think they'll be able to continue to use those systems for their character come Shadowlands launch.
I know there isn't a whole lot going for Arms at the moment, but filling half of their section with information on the systems we're leaving seems misleading.

The Survival Hunter is a brutal melee combatant, abandoning its range weapons for
Ranged weapons, not range weapons.
Survival revolves around the core rotation of Serpent Sting, Kill Command, Raptor Strike and Wildfire Bomb.
No, raptor strike is not part of the core rotation. Mongoose bite is.
The core gameplay is to generate Focus with Kill Command to make sure you maintain Serpent Sting and spend excess on Raptor Strike,
For most of BFA, serpent sting was a waste of a GCD. With enough haste, it will be in SL as well. With enough mastery it could come back.
However, it is important to remember that Survival is still unable to tame exotics pets.
No, it is not important to remember cosmetic perks of another spec.
use your pet via Eyes of the Beast to creatively...
... be removed from the group.
