Damage specialisation · Tier C in Mythic+, 2.0% of the sample
The order abilities first landed across 4 top-parsing pulls, with the median time into the fight. The percentage is how many of those parses used the ability at all — a step at 100% is the opener, one at 60% is a choice some players make.

Fights in between are left out of both columns.
Updated 31/08/2026. These are observed casts, not a recommended priority — the order reflects how often an ability came up, which is not the same as when to press it.
Secondary stat split across the 100 best-geared synced characters. Averaged per player, so one heavily geared character cannot define the answer for everyone.
Talent choices across 230 synced characters playing this specialisation. These are observed picks, not recommendations — they say what the ladder is doing, not what you should do.
