Forever race tier list

Racials are partly modelled
Some racials are only partly modelled, and one the simulator leaves out can matter more than the gaps below. Treat this as a snapshot of the current model, not advice on which race to play.

Balance Druid
4 races · 38 / 0 / 13 build · 0.47% between the best and the last race
Level 60 against one level 63 dragonkin with 3,731 armor · 5 minutes · single target · projected level-65 gear with Tier 1 set bonuses.
Bands use the gap behind the best race. A race marked tied overlaps another race’s 95% interval, so the simulation cannot put the two in order, and its rank counts only the races that beat it beyond that range. A tie covers simulation randomness only, not mechanics the simulator may model wrong.
