We have some major changes post-patch in the raid logs! Hunters are breaking through to the top, as the class tuning really hit the mark…smanship. Ok, so apologies for that, but we do have plenty of other changes to take a look at as well. The tuning may not be quite settled in yet, but we can see some signs of where it’s going. And those signs are pretty damn yellow!
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
Elemental managed to retain its No.1 spot, but just barely, as the upstart and newly buffed Marksmanship is right on its tail. Somewhat behind the front two, Enhancement is still doing pretty well considering the nerfs. The Rogues seem to have made a pact and are traveling in a pack, as we see all three specs in spots 3 to 6. Assassination leads them and gains a spot, as former frontrunner Subtlety moves down to the bottom of the yellows, losing 3.
Frost Mage drops three spots in 7th, as Devastation rises, coming up a massive 11 spots from the bottom half. Survival hangs in there in 9th, only dropping 1 spot, while Destruction is the only one aside from Elemental to keep its spot from before the patch. We see some new faces in the bottom 3 as well, but they didn’t travel too far, as Frost DK and Balance join Augmentation down in the dumps, with Affliction managing to rise out of the gutter!
Overall Damage All Percentiles
Marksmanship is doing even better here as it climbs all the way to the top, toppling Elemental! Assassination and Subtlety join the rest in taking down Enhancement, which loses 4 spots down in 5th. Fire drops a spot and we see Devastation soar once again, up 12 spots here. While Outlaw isn’t doing as well here as in the top percentiles, it still moves up in the world, a pretty big 3 spots. Destruction finds itself down one while Arms is up three, closing out the top 10.
Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
The Hunter of the hour is pushing in here as well, claiming 2nd from down below the middle of the pack! Elemental is also up a few spots, moving past Arms, and we see where Affliction got its boost from in the overall charts, as it finds itself in 6th place here.
Heroic Damage All Percentiles
Heroic is, as usual, much, much slower to move. The top 3 are exactly the same as before the patch and tuning, but we do see Marksmanship make its move here as well, albeit down in 4th, pushing its fellow Hunter out of the way. Devastation was always doing a lot better in Heroic, and so it only gained 1 spot after the buffs, moving past Subtlety.
