We’re getting out of Normal this week, as we’re looking towards the Mythic switch soon. However, we still only have 9 guilds with Queen Ansurek down and 30 with the Silken Court defeated so it might take a while yet. We’ll be doing a separate big look into Mythic later this week, going boss by boss for some more accurate stats.
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
Enhance pulls out a little bit more ahead of Arcane as it sits very secure at the top. Assassination is making even more moves, gaining two spots in 3rd! The victims of Assassination are fighting it out for 4th, with Devastation still coming out on top. And then another Rogue jumps into the fray as Subtlety takes down Arms for 5th. Shadow is moving on up as well, two spots into 7th, moving ahead of the rock of the top 10, Retribution. Havoc drops below the rock, with Beast Mastery seeing the biggest drop, down 4 into the final top 10 spot, just ahead of Feral. Meanwhile we have two Mages at the bottom, as Fire suffers a giant fall, plummeting 14 spots right down to dead last!
Overall Damage All Percentiles
It’s been a very hectic week with a whole lot of movement all over the place here, as the tuning really shook things up. Enhancement makes it to the top in the generalist bracket as well, but it has a brand new opponent down in 2nd, as Assassination takes Subtlety’s place! Arcane takes 3rd as Arms falls down below Subtlety, which itself dropped 2 spots. Devastation is down one as all the specs had to make room for Assa, and Retribution is very much the unmovable object here as well, but this time in 7th. Shadow is doing much better, gaining a big 4 spots in 8th, and Outlaw makes it three Rogues in the top 10! Destruction brings in some Warlock representation, as it closes out the top 10. Fire dropped like a stone here too, but at least it managed to stay above both Frost and Augmentation.
Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
Arcane takes over in the direct damage chart, as both it and Enhance move on up to the top. Subtlety settles for 3rd after its short reign, as both it and Arms find themselves making room for the newcomers. Assassination is up here as well with Beast Mastery down one, Shadow is up, and we see Feral arrive in the top 10!
A Peek Into Mythic
We’re close to moving to Mythic as our primary focus, but with no direct Queen Ansurek nerfs on the horizon, it may take a while for more guilds to finish the raid, even with the overall raid damage buff coming soon. Enhancement has taken over, as it has everywhere else, but it’s way ahead here, especially in the very top percentiles. Retribution is doing a lot better compared to Heroic, as the DKs are also very much in focus.
U.gg Raw Heroic DPS Rankings by Hero Talent Tree
The top 4 remain the same here in the raw DPS/Hero talent charts, as Retribution’s Templar makes a big move up and pushes Scalecommander down one. Fire has dropped way down here as well, leaving Arcane as the only Sunfury representative. Marksmanship and Beast Mastery hang out together down at the end of the top 10.
