The Most Popular Specializations for Mythic+ (Patch 10.1.7 Week 6)

This week’s affixes are Tyrannical, Incorporeal, Spiteful.

Augmentation Evoker stands out as the most popular specialization by a significant margin, with 26.9% of the player base choosing this specialization.

Shadow Priest is the second most popular, but it has just under half the popularity of the Augmentation Evoker. This suggests that while Shadow Priests are favored, there’s a clear preference for the Augmentation Evoker in the current meta / player preference.

The remaining three in the top five — Fire Mage, Retribution Paladin, and Beast Mastery Hunter — show more balanced popularity figures. It indicates that players find these specs viable and enjoyable, but none dominate Mythic+ like the Augmentation Evoker specialization.
