We skipped a week but now we’re back to the palace! There’s still only four guilds that managed to take the queen down, so Mythic is very much peek only and we’re focusing on Heroic and Normal. We’re just ahead of another giant tuning pass, so let’s take a look at the status quo for now before everything changes once again!
Note: We are using normalized scores instead of raw DPS for the Warcraft Logs rankings. Normalized scores take into account the outlier boss fights where certain specs could stack massive DPS (due to the nature of the fight, whether it’s AoE spam or something else), which would then affect their overall score for the whole raid.
Heroic
Heroic Overall Damage 95th Percentile
Enhancement rules over all, but we do see Arcane catch up a little. Arms gets taken down by Devastation, but the two specs and Subtlety are very much on the same level. Beast Mastery makes a break for it ahead of its tuning this week, as it gains 3 spots in 6th. Havoc comes along for the ride as it also rises 3, while Retribution stays steady as a rock in 8th. Shadow makes a grand appearance after its buffs, skyrocketing 13 spots into 9th! Destruction drops a few and closes out the top 10.
Down at the bottom we see Fire has managed to dig out of its hole with the buffs, moving to the upper middle of the pack, but its fellow buffed Mage did not manage to capitalize on the buffs, still sitting in 2nd to last. Demonology drops to dead-last after managing to avoid the bottom 3 in the past weeks.
Overall Damage All Percentiles
We see a different picture at the top in the generalist bracket, as Subtlety takes over everything! Coming up 6 spots, it dethrones Enhancement and Arms. Arcane and Devastation are very close together after that, with Beast Mastery doing well here too. Fire actually manages to break into the top 10, just ahead of Assassination’s 10th spot.
Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
We see Subtlety on top here as well, with Arms gaining a spot as both take down Arcane. Enhancement is moving up a little as well, with Beast Mastery dropping a few spots. Assassination is still hanging in there, improving a bit, and Fire bursts in after its buffs.
Normal Overall Damage All Percentiles
We see the opposite in the Normal rankings, as Subtlety gets taken down by Arms, and Arcane and Devastation get the better of Enhancement. Survival is the Hunter to beat here, with Windwalker also hanging out in the top 10.
A Peek Into Mythic
Mythic is still very much peek-only, and if you want some relevant data for it, you’ll have to check every individual boss, as the aggregated data isn’t very reliable unless you don’t care about the last 3-4 bosses at all.
U.gg Raw Heroic DPS Rankings by Hero Talent Tree
Hellcaller, Slayer and Trickster are still at the very top, each spec dramatically increasing its max DPS, by around 150K since 2 weeks ago! Enhancement’s Stormbringer is moving up, however, and Scalecommander is on a tear, gaining 14 spots!
