The gearing process continues as everything is still very much up in the air! As tier sets come in and players climb that item level ladder everything changes, and an all-time great is back in the lead. There’s a whole lot more movement as barely anything (except Arms) remained stable, so let’s dive in.
Warcraft Logs Points
The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing. This means that 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. It is a much, much smaller factor, however. It grants only a few points for significantly faster completions compared to just any in-time finish. We’re also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity. This means that the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
95th percentile DPS
Fire reigns supreme once more! The long-term king of the format is back on top as Subtletly falls down to 4th and the top 3 separates itself from the rest of the (very balanced) pack. Speaking of balance, boomkins remain stable in 2nd, while Unholy rises two into 3rd place. The Shamans have gathered together, as Enhancement falls two spots and Elemental rises four! Feral moves on up a lot, gaining six spots, just ahead of Arms’ stable 8th spot. Havoc drops one and Shadow drops four to the bottom of the top 10. While a Mage may be on top, the other two are on the bottom, joining Augmentation down in the dumps.
All Percentiles
Fire takes over here as well, with Unholy rising even higher into 2nd, while Subtlety drops one spot less in 3rd. The Shamans actually both rise here, the melee flavor by one spot and the ranged by three in 7th place. Shadow rises one into a blue sandwich, and Arms is the cornerstone of the charts, once again remaining stable in 8th. Feral makes it into the top 10 here as well, as Devastation closes out the top 10 with its six-spot drop.
Specific Keys
We’re ramping things up here as we peek into the higher keys, from 7 to 12!

U.gg Raw DPS Rankings by Hero Talent Tree
The top two remain the same while Marksmanship comes out of nowhere in third! Assassination and Demonology rise while Enhancement falls, with Elemental catching up with its melee counterpart.
We’ll be taking a better look at everything when the week is fully done. Until then, for even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. If you’re interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides and tier lists.
