Arms rises to the very top in this week’s rankings, in all three raids. Well, in the overall numbers anyway, as Beast Mastery still barely clings to the top spot in the 95th percentile. Ret and Subtlety are also doing much better this week, so let’s dive in and check out the changes.
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.
Mythic Amirdrassil
Overall Damage 95th Percentile
The ride’s almost over for Beast Mastery, as Arms is having a hell of a week and has almost hunted the Hunter down! While the two top specs are neck and neck, Fury is pretty far down from them, but has a solid lead over Elemental. The axe seems to be rising for more than just Arms, as Retribution pushes past Frost DK into 5th, and Unholy takes down Windwalker in 10th! We have a Mage joining the Warlock duo in the bottom 3, with Fire dropping down and Outlaw clawing its way out of the pit.

Overall Damage All Percentiles
We have an even bigger breakthrough by Arms here, as it dethrones BM and takes that gold! It’s still only these two specs that far ahead, as Fury and Elemental don’t gain as much traction. Retribution is moving up here as well, and so is Subtlety, gaining a big 4 spots in 8th!

Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
Arms moves to the top here as well, with a very big shift from last week. Beast Mastery is very safe in 2nd, however, with the rest of the pack massively behind the top two. Feral and Assassination move up together, pushing Frost DK down, as Augmentation and Subtlety close out the top 10.

Heroic
Overall Damage All Percentiles
BM is holding on to that top spot in Heroic, but just barely, as Arms breathes down its neck. Elemental is surging here, moving 2 spots up into 3rd and leaving Ret and Assassination in its dust.

U.GG Raw Mythic DPS Rankings
U.gg’s rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks. This chart is for Mythic only.
The raw DPS numbers haven’t changed since last week, but Arms was pretty close to BM even then! The big patch tomorrow is going to shake things up massively, so we’ll see if Arms can stay on top, while BM is definitely going down with some serious nerfs. Augmentation is still very interesting down in 11th, as the pre-patch made their numbers much more accurate, as they were always hanging around the bottom before that.
Mythic Aberrus
Arms is on top in Aberrus as well with an amazing week for the spec. Retribution also manages to move past Elemental here, and Subtlety takes down both Augmentation and Windwalker for that final top 10 spot.

Mythic Vault of the Incarnates
Arms is triumphant here as well, mirroring the other raids. However, Frost DK manages to fend off Fury, Retribution and Elemental, remaining in 3rd. Marksmanship is still here, as is the norm in Vault, sitting in 8th, same as last week. We have a triple Warlock group in the bottom 3, which is pretty unusual, but luckily it’s only the pre-patch so it won’t take long for them to get back to the top.
