Mechanics is a Scrap-fueled ranged/pet hybrid built around the Mechsuit: it generates Scrap with its shots and bombs, a permanent pet — Scrapmaw — and a turret fight alongside it continuously, and it periodically transforms into the Mechsuit to unlock a whole new ranged ability bar (Combustion, Laser Beam, Activate Jets).
The closest Retail analogue is Demonology Warlock. Both share a permanent pet fought alongside for passive damage (Scrapmaw is roughly a Felguard-line demon), a secondary resource fueling a big self-transformation (Scrap into Mechsuit, roughly Soul Shards into a Metamorphosis/Tyrant window), a whole new ability bar unlocked only during that transformation (Mechsuit: Combustion/Laser Beam/Activate Jets, roughly demonic-form abilities), stacking self-mitigation and regen while transformed (Blazewrought Titan plus Nano-Repair Tech, roughly demonic-form durability), and a self-heal folded into the form instead of dedicated healing tools. Clockwork Guardians and the Sentry Turret add a Gul'dan-style board of extra summoned pressure.
How is this number calculated?
Measured scope: Zul'Gurub, Molten Core, Onyxia's Lair, all difficulties — High Priest Venoxis, High Priestess Jeklik, High Priestess Mar'li, Bloodlord Mandokir, High Priest Thekal, High Priestess Arlokk, Jin'do the Hexxer, Hakkar, Gri'lek, Gahz'ranka, Lucifron, Magmadar, Gehennas, Baron Geddon, Garr, Shazzrah, Golemagg the Incinerator, Sulfuron Harbinger, Majordomo Executus, Ragnaros, Basalthane, Onyxia.
These numbers come from Ascension Logs’ public combat logs, not an in-house guess.
The index compares each spec to the median player — the one sitting exactly in the middle of the ranking — on the same boss and the same group format: 1.00 matches that median player, 1.40 means 40% more damage than them. Only each player’s best fight counts, never their average — otherwise a player posting fifty fights would count as much as fifty different players, and averaging would mostly reward beginners still learning the spec rather than those who’ve mastered it. The comparison always happens on the same boss and the same format: a two-minute fight and a seven-minute one aren’t comparable, and a flex raid doesn’t give the same support as a 25-man.
Tiers (S, A, B…) aren’t picked by hand: the cutoffs are calculated from the real spread of every measured spec. A spec under 15 distinct players or 30 fights isn't ranked at all, rather than given a made-up grade.

Mythic dungeons only — Ascension CoA has no Mythic+ tier yet (220 tracked encounters).
These numbers come from Ascension Logs’ public combat logs, not an in-house guess.
The index compares each spec to the median player — the one sitting exactly in the middle of the ranking — on the same boss: 1.00 matches that median player, 1.40 means 40% more damage than them. Only each player’s best fight counts, never their average — otherwise a player posting fifty fights would count as much as fifty different players, and averaging would mostly reward beginners still learning the spec rather than those who’ve mastered it. The comparison always happens on the same boss: 92.4% of dungeon fights are played in 5-player groups, and splitting by group size as well would discard more usable damage rows (4.5% lost against 1.4% when comparing by boss alone) for zero additional publishable spec — group size is therefore not part of the comparison.
Tiers (S, A, B…) aren’t picked by hand: the cutoffs are calculated from the real spread of every measured Dungeon spec — this column has its own distribution, it doesn’t reuse Raid’s cutoffs. A spec under 15 distinct players or 30 fights isn't ranked at all, rather than given a made-up grade.
Each performance above links to its own real combat report. Ascension Logs, however, doesn’t offer a rankings page covering every Mythic dungeon — unlike Raid, there’s no « View the source rankings » button here.
Ranking updated on August 29, 2026
The tree the best players actually run. Read from the top 10 Mechanics Tinkers in our player rankings for raids, of whom 2 were last recorded in a dungeon, leaving 8. 35 of its 51 talents are identical across all 8, so they agree on the bulk of it and part ways on the rest. This exact tree is run by the 4th ranked player. Recorded on 19 August 2026.
The 56 points are a fixed budget, so no tree can take everything. The most common picks left out of this one: Arclight Core 75 %, Haywired State! 63 %, Macro-Gravity Zone 63 %.
These talents are a PvE configuration. The Arena and Battleground grades shown above rate the specialisation’s PvP potential, not this tree.
Output is flat-Physical and melee-weapon damage delivered alongside a commanded pet whose own scaling piggybacks on the Tinker's stats, so Hit/Expertise to keep both attacker and pet landing come first, then Agility/Attack Power for the shared melee base, with Crit/Haste feeding extra-attack procs like Improved Spanner Smash.
