Belt Tuning Changes a Lot, Most Popular Spec Soars! LoU Raid DPS Log Rankings

It’s a very pink week as the Delve belt changes have created a lot more changes than expected! The massive nerf to the top-performing belt abilities seems to have pushed the most popular class and spec in WoW massively upwards, as we see Retribution tear it up with its new electric power. There’s plenty more movement as well, so let’s get right into it.

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

Overall Damage 95th Percentile

We see changes in the top 5 already, which, this late in the season, is quite noteworthy. The belt tuning definitely affected things, as the first change is a big one. We see Retribution skyrocket 6 spots into 5th place, as the swap to Electric Current iconElectric Current in the belt seems to have gone over really well! The next two spots remain stable with Havoc and Shadow, and we then find Survival, three spots down in 8th. Frost DK also benefited from the belt changes, rising a giant 8 spots in 9th with its move to Critical Chain iconCritical Chain in the belt. Arcane finds itself two down and closing out the top 10, just ahead of Windwalker, which actually gains 4 spots and is aiming at that top 10. Frost Mage is back in the dumps after a brief respite, as Demonology breaks out of the bottom 3.

We need to go down one more spot for the first change in the slower-updating general rankings. In 6th we find Arms rising two spots and moving past Havoc. And it’s not the only one, as while Retribution didn’t rise quite as high as in the top percentiles, it did gain a LOT more spots here, moving from 18th all the way to 7th! We then have Havoc with its two spot drop, Assassination staying firm in 9th, and Fury dropping a big three spots to the bottom of the top 10 after all the belt changes.

Boss Only Damage All Percentiles

Survival is dropping in the direct damage charts as well, but is holding on a lot better, as only Marksmanship passes it by. Feral climbs a few spots and even Retribution shows up in the top 10, as it’s a great week for the Paladins.

Mythic Bosses

The earlier bosses remain mostly the same, but we do see Outlaw pop up on Bandit, and Retribution make a name for itself on Gallywix!

Affliction is on the rise in Heroic, as Subtlety drops with the belt changes. We do see Retribution tear it up here as well, moving into 6th from the bottom middle of the pack.
