WoW DragonFlight Raiding Guide: Which Role is the Hardest? (Tank, Healer, Ranged or Melee DPS)

When it comes to raiding, what is the hardest role to play? Tanking? Healing? Ranged DPS? or Melee DPS? Well the difficulty of the role changes depending on what kind of group composition you have! I will be analyzing two groups a 20 person PUG and a 20 person Guild Raid. Spoiler, the roles difficulty list changes depending on the Raid Group!!

What do you think? Try to remove part of your own bias!

As a healer main the difficulty is all about group. The same fight can be cake or impossible depending on group skill. For other roles the difficulty is largely constant.

Speaking from perspective of M+ and PvP (3v3)

Healer > Melee DPS > Tank = Ranged DPS

PvP
Healer > Melee DPS = Ranged DPS

Totally agree with pugs, healing pug smolderon and fyrakk is doom 💀💀, specially if it's a 25+ player group

I mean, only bad/incredibly short sighted players judge anyone on pure output, dps or healing wise. In a mythic raiding environment healing is the hardest role. I play every role also and it just is what it is. Healers are coordinating healing cd's with other healers, tracking player defensives, has to know essentially every mechanic of a fight - even ones that don't directly effect them - and do it all while having a lot of their attention focused on their raid frames in comparison to other roles that don't have to pay as much attention to minute details. Same for mythic plus.

I main holy pally, raid on heroic. It's totally true. It's totally the group. If everyone is doing their job and playing really well, if you play with them all the time, you know exactly what's coming: who takes more damage and when, even where they are in your raid frames. I'll even have time to /dance in the middle of a fight and still top the heal chart. And have a lot of fun - if it's a random group... It literally feels like it's you vs the world, it's almost a relief when certain people die so you don't have to ultra heal them anymore 😂. I agree with your ranking 😊 thanks for the video!

In my opinion those categories are not comparable at all. f.e. hunter and mage are both ranged, but a mage is so much harder to play well, since you have to stand still to cast most of your spells. So playing the mechanics well but still keeping up your dps can be really difficult. Healers have the same issues but at the same time their focus is a lot on raidframes instead of mechanic visuals. Those are just two examples. But still enjoyed wachting your thoughts on that topic :)

Ty for the video. Now i'm expected for the same video for MM+. Cause i mostly play MM+ 🤣

[PitHund]

Even considering ranged dps as possibly the most difficult is laughable.

[dylanzachary]

for me personally melee dps has always been the hardest in raid

[johnMa]

Melee heal, nothing comes close to that in raid and m+

[incrediLance]

I call BS you fpr saying DPS is the hardest xD

[SigurdFlaatten]

Melee DPS is 100% the easiest role to have in WoW and always have been. 2nd easiest is Tank, then it's a toss-up between Ranged DPS and Healing which is the hardest role, depending on the fight.
