Overall Performance: The most important thing when placing a class in a вЂњTier ListвЂќ is the overall performance of the class, taking into account the overall damage output of the class, its utility for the raid, and how well it performs in the current meta.The damage output speaks for itself and certain classes output more while others output less, depending on the current buffs they have and the current meta they are being played in.Utility refers to the effects they might bring for other members of the dungeon or raid, whether those might be powerful debuffs, combat revive mechanics, powerful damage enhancing abilities, or straight out mitigation tools.
