War Within Patch 11.0.7 Nerub-ar Palace Raid DPS Log Rankings, Week 5: The Fall of Marksmanship

Staff's Avatar by Staff

The reign of MM has come to an end. As expected, the hotfix that reverted the unintended buff to Black Arrow iconBlack Arrow has pushed the Hunter down, and it’s very likely it will go down further still in next week’s rankings. There’s plenty of other movement as well, with the Shamans gaining on all fronts, and Survival making its way up to replace its fellow Hunter.

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.

Overall Damage 95th Percentile

Marksmanship has begun its fall after the recent hotfix to Black Arrow, but it’s still holding on pretty well. The Shamans are in charge now and Elemental remains ahead of its melee counterpart, while the three Rogues are waiting for the Hunter to drop down further. We have a bit of movement at the very end of the top 10 as well, with Havoc taking down Arms. Retribution has also pushed up a little setting itself up for a potential breakthrough into the top 10, gaining 2 spots and sitting right behind Arms in 12th.

Overall Damage All Percentiles

The Shamans have consolidated their positions here as well and the Hunter has fallen even further! Enhancement finally got past Assassination and is now in 2nd as Marksmanship drops 4 spots into 5th. Survival makes it up into 6th as it gains a huge seven spots! Destruction remains stable in 8th as Arms falls down behind it, and Retribution does manage to make the top 10 here, as Frost Mage drops out. Demonology joins the bottom 3 as it and Balance keep swapping spots down in the dumps.

Boss Only Damage All Percentiles

MM only loses one spot in the single-target rankings despite the nerf, as Assassination takes the throne. Elemental and Enhancement are also on the rise, each moving up a spot.

Individual Bosses

We see Survival moving on up as Marksmanship moves down in the individual boss charts. The Princess sees a Hunter swap at the top, with Survival taking the throne and MM dropping 3 spots, with all three Hunters in the top 4! Shadow and the Shamans are rising in the Court but the Warlocks still reign supreme. Enhancement takes down Frost Mage at the Queen, and Elemental is also doing better than last week.

Heroic Damage All Percentiles

Enhancement makes it all the way to the top in Heroic, as it and Arms rise up and dethrone Assassination. Marksmanship falls but Survival rises to take its place.

The Shamans make their way to the top of the raw DPS charts as both Stormbringers are in spots 1 and 2! The Hellcaller Warlocks both drop out of the top 10 and make room for both Unholy DKs and a Frost!
