How does the list come about?
Each specialisation is assigned to a tier from S to F for a particular type of content and role. The ranking is an editorial assessment of class tools for the stated patch, not an analysis of real combat. Specs within a tier are ordered alphabetically, not ranked more finely. New rankings are published only with a new version and date.
