Pre-Launch Estimates — Subject to Change
Difficulty: 3/5. Rotation, resources, positioning and timing. 1 = very easy to learn and execute; 5 = highly demanding. Higher means harder.
Utility: 5/5. Buffs, debuffs, control, dispels, interrupts and defensive support beyond primary output. 1 = limited; 5 = exceptional.
Raid Spot: 4/5. Expected demand in a balanced raid, including utility and competition for positions. 1 = low; 5 = very high. This is not a DPS ranking or a guaranteed invitation.
Leveling estimate: 2/5. This particular build’s expected comfort from 1–60: pace, downtime, survival and suitable dungeon groups. 1 = difficult or inefficient; 5 = excellent. Full 1–60 performance is not verified by limited beta play.
