How to Increase Your Mythic+ Rating in Dragonflight

Increasing your Mythic+ Rating in World of Warcraft: Dragonflight is all about mastering the dungeon system and consistently pushing your limits. In short, to raise your rating, you need to complete Mythic Plus dungeons within the Dragonflight dungeon pool, focusing on higher keys and efficient completion times. You earn a score based on your best performance for each dungeon on both Fortified and Tyrannical affixes. This means maximizing your rating requires running every dungeon on each affix at your highest possible level. The higher the keystone level you complete, and the faster you do it, the more rating you’ll gain. Let’s dive deeper into the specifics of how to achieve this.

Understanding Mythic+ Rating in Dragonflight

The Mythic+ rating system is designed to reward players who demonstrate skill, efficiency, and consistency in running high-level dungeons. Unlike the previous Raider.io system, which used an exponential model, the Dragonflight Mythic+ rating uses a linear scoring system. This means that the amount of rating you gain increases steadily with each key level you complete. Additionally, your speed and ability to complete the dungeon within the timer also affect your score.

Key Factors Influencing Your Mythic+ Rating

Several factors come into play when determining how much rating you gain:

• Keystone Level: The higher the keystone level, the more rating you’ll get for completing it. Successfully completing a +16 key will award more rating than a +15.
• Affixes: Completing a dungeon on both Fortified and Tyrannical affixes is essential, as each affix has its own separate rating calculation for each dungeon. You need to get a good score on both to maximize your overall rating.
• Completion Time: Finishing a dungeon within the allotted time gives a significant rating boost. Completing a key in the timer will net you more rating than completing it slightly over time. Failing to complete a dungeon in time still grants some rating, but significantly less.
• Best Runs Per Dungeon: Your rating is based on your best run for each dungeon on each affix. So, if you complete a +15 on Fortified for Ruby Life Pools, and then later complete a +16, your rating will be updated by the +16 run. However, this does not affect the +15 Tyrannical score that you might also have done.
• Linear Progression: The rating system is linear. This means that every level of difficulty adds a similar amount to your overall score. This allows players to have a more predictable and easily trackable progression in their rating.

Strategies for Maximizing Your Mythic+ Rating

Here are a few strategies that can help you push your Mythic+ rating to the max:

1. Run Every Dungeon: Make sure to complete all the Dragonflight dungeons on both Fortified and Tyrannical affixes. This ensures you’re getting credit for all possible runs.
2. Push for Higher Keys: Aim to complete the highest keystone levels that you can manage within the time limit. The higher you go, the more points you’ll receive, making this the most effective strategy.
3. Focus on Speed: Completing a dungeon quickly and efficiently is vital. Work on optimizing your routes, coordinating with your team, and maximizing your DPS/HPS to ensure you can clear the content within the timer.
4. Form a Consistent Team: Running Mythic+ dungeons with a consistent group of players will lead to better coordination and faster completion times. This synergy is critical for consistently performing well and pushing higher keys.
5. Gear Up Effectively: Make sure your gear is up to par and you’re utilizing optimal stats for your class. Higher item level gear significantly helps with both survivability and damage, aiding you in pushing those higher keys.

Example Scenario

Let’s say you complete a +15 Ruby Life Pools on Fortified and a +14 on Tyrannical. Your Mythic+ score would be a combination of points based on these best runs for this dungeon. If later you complete a +16 Ruby Life Pools on Tyrannical, your Tyrannical score would get updated, while the Fortified score remains with the +15 run. This emphasizes that each affix and dungeon must be optimized for peak rating gain.

Why Is My Mythic Rating Not Increasing?

If your Mythic+ rating isn’t going up, it’s likely because you’re not improving your best runs for each dungeon on each affix. Here are a few things you can check:

• Did you complete the dungeon on time? If you barely made it, or missed it, your score may not have improved.
• Are you completing higher key levels? Try pushing a key higher than what you have previously completed.
• Have you completed every dungeon on both affixes? Make sure you haven’t missed a dungeon, on either affix.
• Are your runs on the dungeon you’re trying to improve are the best ones for you? Check that you are not running the same key level over and over again and assuming your score will increase. It’s based on the highest runs only.

By focusing on these key strategies, you will be well on your way to increasing your Mythic+ rating in Dragonflight.
