This is a dps ranking list by classes for only WoW Warmane private server. "August 2021"
If you want to be on top 5 on damage meter for all dungeons or raids my personal choice is rogue. If you want to be indispensable raider whatever class you play do your job well. You being on top 3 in damage meter won't kill boss, only If everyone does their job proper and not fail on tactic boss dies. So don't get offende when you see a "dps ranking". This is only for help to new players.
You may have different experience, I just shared mine. I have been playing wow since 2007 in official, private servers since 2015. I completed every single raids normal, most of hardmode and heroics. I wanted to help people who always asking which class is good in naxx, ulduar, toc, icc. You too can help them by writing your thoughts comments below.

Don't forget:
- Good computer and connection > Brain > Experience > Skill > Equipment(Gear Score)
- Each class is useful at some point.
- This list only related to damage per second that class does.
- This does not mean some classes are bad. Success will come only when raid setup is proper and also people are experienced.
- Some people takes the game serious. So don't steal their time by joining raids unprepared!
- Learn game mechanics. Learn your class. Learn raid boss tactics. Set your gear and get ready; hit-expertise-arp...cap, enchants, gems, flask, potions, food etc.
- Have fun!
