Battle of Dazar'alor M Race Day 2: Jaina Lives!

Recommended Posts

Day 2 has come and gone and we have one boss remaining, as Limit cleaned up Stormwall Blockade some hours after they woke up, claiming their 5th World First in the raid. The EU servers were already up at that point, but they hadn't caught up yet and they still haven't, trailing 1 boss behind the US No.1. We also have some Wildcard Gaming kill videos for bosses 3, 5 and 6.


Opulence Mythic World 2nd kill by Wildcard Gaming

The EU guilds started strong today, as Method, Exorsus and Pieces tore through the first 6 bosses in around 6 hours. Method were especially quick, beating even Limit's time by about an hour. Perhaps spurred on by Method's quick catch-up, Limit popped up with their huge 8/9 World First on Stormwall Blockade and moved 2 bosses ahead of everyone else.

After their quick defeat of King Rastakhan, the sixth boss, something changed for Method, as it seems High Tinker Mekkatorque really didn't suit them. They took a really long time to down him, getting overtaken by Pieces for that World 2nd, EU 1st kill, lagging around 2 and a half hours beind them and a whopping 5 hours behind Limit's time on that same boss. Eventually they did get him down and secured the World 3rd, but it was getting pretty late at that point, so they got some progress in on Stormwall Blockade before heading off to sleep. A bunch of EU guilds also ended their day on 6/9 after defeating Rastakhan, with Memento, Exorsus, Aversion and Future claiming the World 6-9th spots, and Vision rounding out the top 10 with their US 4th.

And here's Method's long in the making High Tinker Mekkatorque kill, directly from their stream:

I've also made a table for the kill times for the top 3 guilds on the last 3 killed bosses over on the Method progress site, so I'll share it here as well (measuring the time spent since the first boss kill of the raid and the one previous to the one mentioned):

  Rastakhan-30-01-19-04-46-27-6.png Mekkatorque-30-01-19-01-47-34-5.png Blockade-banner-21-01-19-03-41-12-1-31-0
     From 1st                 From previous From 1st                 From previous From 1st                 From previous
Limit 6H 46Min                 2H 34Min    10H 30Min                3H 44Min      28H 33Min                 18H 03Min    
Pieces 7H 42Min                 2H 14Min     14H                       6H 18Min  /
Method 5H 34Min                 1H 56Min    14H 23Min                8H 49Min     /


And so Limit are still quite a bit ahead, with Pieces and Method chasing, and both guilds have lost a fair bit of time with their slower progress on High Tinker, showing just how well Limit did on that particular fight. Whether Stormwall Blockade was also an amazingly fast kill by Limit or not remains to be seen, as the EU guilds will see how fast they can get it down today (if at all). Jaina still remains alive and we don't know much of anything about her difficulty at the moment, so here's hoping she not only stays alive (or, better to say undefeated, as she doesn't actually die at the end of the encounter) but also isn't bugged or impossible, which would almost nullify Limit's lead if she gets fixed later on.

We'll see what happens tomorrow (and hopefully get some videos for Tinker and possibly Stormwall) and if anyone has a chance at beating, or even catching up with Limit.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG 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.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
