Bloodmage-Accursed embraces its curse fully: it prowls in human form, then shifts to shred targets apart in Accursed Form, a heavily physical kit built around bleeds.
The loop is easy to state and brutal to master: build Rage with your human-form bolts, then spend it all once transformed — build human, spend wolf.
Your damaging Mortal Form spells can now be cast while moving.
Closest retail equivalent: a Feral/Guardian Druid dancing between forms, grafted onto a Blood DK's self-sustain layer. The whole kit re-labels itself by form: human caster mode at range (Shadow bolts — Bloodbolt, Veinburst, Hemoburst) versus Accursed Form in melee (Reave, Ravenous Strike, Puncturing Fangs) — and Ravenous Strike healing you off its own damage is a dead ringer for Death Strike.
How is this number calculated?
Measured scope: Zul'Gurub, 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.
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.
How is this number calculated?
Mythic dungeons only — Ascension CoA has no Mythic+ tier yet (217 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 12, 2026
A builder-spender kit — build Rage with your bolts, spend it in Accursed Form's free melee windows, bleed effects layered throughout. The form explicitly converts 50% of Agility into AP, so Agility plus reliable direct-hit connection (Hit/Expertise) outrank the crit chain it's built around.
