It’s been a crazy first week in the raid, with the Mythic kills taking much longer than usual due to no Heroic week and the insane difficulty of the fourth boss. We’re still mostly focusing on Heroic, but we’re also looking into the first two Mythic bosses, as well as the tanks and healers, so there’s a lot to go over!
We also took a look at the Mythic+ log rankings earlier today, so you can check those out here.
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.
Heroic
Overall Damage 95th Percentile
We see quite a few changes from our day 1 check-in. While Havoc is still at the very top, we see Windwalker burst up into 2nd and threatening 1st as well! Enhancement has bounced back and then some, with Subtlety dropping a little to accommodate the Monk and Shaman. Fury is pretty stable ahead of a falling Devastation, while Affliction also moves up fast. We then have a Rogue-Priest sandwich to round out the top 10, as Shadow sits between Outlaw and Assassination, and we once again have three Rogues at the top. Arms just misses out on the top 10, followed by Destro and Marksmanship. Augmentation is comically low, even for its customary last spot, and we still see Survival down in the dumps as well. Arcane joins them in the bottom 3 this time around, but was already pretty low to start with.
Overall Damage All Percentiles
Havoc takes over the generalist bracket as well, pushing Fury down to 2nd. Subtlety moves past Devastation, and Enhancement moves slightly up. Windwalker is on an upward trajectory here as well, and we have a triple Rogue top 10 here as well.
Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
Assassination pushes past Havoc, but we otherwise have a pretty stable top 7. Affliction is rising and Shadow comes up from the lower middle of the pack to close out the top 10.
Mythic Bosses
We’ll be taking a look at Mythic, but only the first two bosses, as the third only has 17 kills, and the fourth, well, that’s only for the very top, Liquid, Echo, and Method.
Vexie and the Geargrinders
Cauldron of Carnage
Tanks
We’ve had no changes here since day 1 as Prot is still on top (and was the literal No.1 DPS on the Mythic Stix Bunkjunker World First) and Brewmaster on the bottom. Keep in mind these are just the DPS numbers for the tanks, so they’re not quite that important.
Healers
We may have mistakenly checked in on the Mythic stats on day 1 for the healers, so things are looking very different! Preservation is on top by a pretty wide margin, with Shaman, Monk, and Disc pretty even behind it, and Paladin on the bottom.
Normal Damage All Percentiles
Normal remained incredibly stable, with the top 6 not moving at all. We then have Enhancement surge up just as it did in the higher difficulties, with Marksmanship rising a little as well. Havoc actually drops a spot and Windwalker closes out the top 10.
As always, you can check out our tier lists, our class guides, and our Liberation of Undermine guide! And for even more stats, head on over to Warcraft Logs.
