Dragonflight Season 2 DPS Log Rankings for Aberrus, Week 2: Tuning Results, Arcane Out of Control

Recommended Posts

Clipboard05.jpg
 

Week 2 of Aberrus is behind us and last week's tuning has had a chance to take effect, but despite not having received any changes, Arcane is dominating everyone, pretty much everywhere. Before we get into the numbers, here's our Arcane guide writer explaining why this may be the case:

Arcane Mages shot up a a lot this week in the logs on Heroic and Normal difficulty. There are a couple of things that most likely caused this to happen.

First of all, last week, people clearing for the first time would not have any of the new set bonuses yet. Arcane has an extremely strong 2 set of the new tier (although 4-set is quite weak), which means that obtaining 2 set last week and then getting to used to it this week would be a significant DPS improvement. Additionally, the average kill time of bosses went down significantly, due to the massive influx of new gear from last week. Since Arcane is a very bursty spec, and benefits from double Bloodlust Bloodlust/Time Warp Time Warp, short kills boost their DPS significantly.

As mentioned above, there's still a lot of players waiting to complete their sets, so the rankings will still be shifting over the next weeks as that evens out, but Arcane is certainly the winner of the 2-set jackpot! Mythic is still not really a good place to look for stats, as not many have gotten most of the bosses down, but if you simply MUST know, we've added that chart to the bottom as well.

Heroic

Overall Damage 95th Percentile

While we had a close fight on our hands in the first week of Aberrus... oh boy is that not the case this time around. Arcane has skyrocketed in to an insane lead, with almost 10K DPS more than its closest competitor, and a lot more than that from everyone else. Demonology is the only one keeping up with the out of control Mage and also has a solid lead ahead of everyone else, but at least the rest of the pack are relatively close to each other. Demo has come out of nowhere, rising 9 spots into 2nd (and without the aid of any tuning), and Devastation followed suit to a lesser degree, gaining 2 spots in 3rd. Unholy and Subtletly are sporting almost identical numbers as the Evoker, with the Rogue having dropped 3 spots over the last week. While Shadow is a little higher this time around, Fury has also taken a rocket trip towards the top, winning the "most improved" trophy for the week, shoving past 10 other specs to land in 7th. Balance reclaims the Druid top spot, as Feral plummets to the bottom, while Destruction finds itself down in 9th, dropping 6 spots. Marksmanship is barely holding on to the top 10, 4 down at the end of it. Down at the bottom we see Frost DK finally moving out of the last 3 spots, as the aforementioned Feral joins Fire and Beast Mastery there.

Overall Damage All Percentiles

Arcane is rampaging through the generalist bracket as well, ahead in pretty much all the percentiles, and by a lot and surpassing previous No.1 Subtletly, but the Rogues does hold on a lot better here, only dropping to 2nd. Demo replaces Destro in 3rd, Unholy and Marksmanship hold on to their positions, and Fury is still bursting through to the top, gaining an even more impressive 11 spots here (which is to be expected, as the Warrior spec is notoriously gear-dependent)! Balance is also greatly improved, almost beating Fury out for "most improved", but it "only" gained 10 spots, so better luck next time.

Boss Only Damage All Percentiles

The direct boss damage chart isn't looking any better for specs that aren't Arcane, as its insane advantage remains here as well. The rest is looking similar to last week, aside from the two in-class switches, with Demonology replacing Destruction for Warlocks (and moving up a whole lot in the process) and Subtletly flipping with Assassination for Rogues. Affliction also moved up a lot, while Retribution dropped a few, and Havoc managed to dig itself up out of the bottom 3.

Normal

Arcane is even more out of control in Normal, as the short fights give the spec even more of an advantage. The Warlock struggle gets a face-to-face component here, as Destro and Demo are neck and neck.

Mythic

As before, the Mythic rankings are extremely incomplete, with only 10 guilds having actually finished the raid. We do see an entirely different set up here though, whether it's because of that or the longer and harder fights, as Elemental finds itself at the very top, and Arcane down in the middle of the pack!

      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.

      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.
