Dragonflight Season 2 DPS Log Rankings for Aberrus, Day 1

Recommended Posts

Clipboard02.jpg
 

Here we are as both US and EU guilds had a day to head into Aberrus and we can get some (very preliminary) data from their logs - Heroic logs that is, as only the first three bosses have seen any action in Mythic (which you can read about in our daily summary here).

Heroic

Overall Damage 95th Percentile

Comparing things to the previous logs we had is going to be pretty pointless, as those were for the Vault and for Mythic, so let's just take a very general look at what's up and what's down. We won't be peering into Mythic for a while yet, so here goes Heroic! Also to note, we can't be sure what percentage of players have tier set bonuses active, but it's safe to assume there's more of them here in the 95th percentile than in the overall brackets.

Destruction is back on top, which is definitely the biggest change here, as Unholy did not go away, even after their favorite trinket got nerfed, only dropping to 2nd after dominating the last few weeks of the Vault. Arcane sticks around and is doing well in Aberrus just as it did in the Vault after the 10.1 tuning, as Subtletly also jumps up a lot and straight into 4th. Devastation is still hanging around the top, although it's dropped from its Vault heyday, while Marksmanship has been pretty stable around the top 5 mark throughout the expansion so far. The Shamans are both doing well, sandwiching Shadow and closing out the top 10 with the aid of Outlaw. Frost DKs suffer the biggest switcheroo in the high percentiles, as they drop from the top 3 to the literal last spot. Beast Mastery still can't catch a break and together with the DK and Fury forms the bottom 3.

Overall Damage All Percentiles

Destruction is not a top-player-only beast it seems, as it sits on top in the generalist bracket as well. Unholy, on the other hand, is a few spots down compared to the top percentiles, as both Subtletly and Arcane get past it. Assassination is preferred over Outlaw here, as Retribution also finds itself high up in the rankings, beating out Devastation and Arms. Survival is doing well too, closing out the top 10 and giving non-Marksmanship Hunters hope! The bottom is still filled by Frost DK and Beast Mastery, but it's Demonology that joins them here in the generalist bracket.

Boss Only Damage All Percentiles

Unholy remains at the top in the boss damage department, and is joined by Arcane, as both specs seem to shine in both AoE and single target. Assassination has always been high up in these charts and Destruction also looks like one of the cross-over specs, doing well all-round. In fact, the entire top 10 looks fairly similar to the overall damage profile, so perhaps Aberrus isn't much of an AoE-heavy raid, at least when it comes to Heroic.

Normal

We're also taking a look at Normal, since even Heroic doesn't have the log numbers it used to, with only a (relatively) few guilds even downing the final boss. Arcane is on top here, just ahead of Destruction, and the rest of the specs pretty much align with the Heroic rankings, although they're fairly shuffled around. Shamans only seem to be doing well in high percentiles, however, as they are down both here and in the Heroic all damage percentile charts.

That's our first look at Aberrus and we'll have more once more data comes in. Meanwhile, if you're looking for more information you can check out our Dragonflight class guides, as well as more data from Warcraft Logs here.

To be fair, BM is the only class in the game that has the benefits of both range and melee without the downsides of either.

how is that any kind of advantage without the DPS to back it up? Who the hell cares if a hunter can move while casting if their dps sucks?

They're able to avoid situations that would prevent them from hitting the boss. Melee can't deal damage when they're forced away from the boss while ranged typically deal less damage when they have to move, bm doesn't have either of those drawbacks and can deal their damage unimpeded. The fact of the matter is, good players learn to mitigate these weaknesses while bm doesn't have any weaknesses aside from lower damage and pet AI but the AI can be mitigated by good bm players.

wow, that is the biggest pile of horse dung I have seen in awhile. apparently you do not know how to read a chart. I don't care if Dale Earnhardt is behind the wheel, if your car has a governor set to 50 mph his big swinging dong won't make it go faster.

      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.

      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.
