War Within Season 2 Mythic+ DPS Log Rankings, Week 5: Settling Down Around Balance

Staff's Avatar by Staff

While last week was one of chaos and reshuffling of basically everything after the tuning, this past week sees a settling down and fairly stable chart. The very top seems to have been decided for now, but there’s plenty of movement right below. While Unholy and Fire battle it out between the high and average percentiles, Balance sits stable in 2nd and is doing well across the board. This is pretty different than the raid charts, which are still very much in flux, especially with Mythic boss kills still rising considerably week to week.

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

We see a very stable top 3 with Unholy on top and all three specs almost dead-even! Elemental rises up a spot as Assassination drops two, bumping Feral into 5th. Marksmanship gains the most in the top 10, up three in 6th, causing Enhancement to drop one down. Arms makes it into the top 10, pushing four spots up into 9th, bringing Retribution up with it as well! In the almost opposite of the raid, we see Survival down in the bottom 3 once again, this time joined by Destruction, and the ever-last Augmentation, which in Season 2 once again proves that old saying by a famous philosopher: “if you’re not first, you’re last“.

All Percentiles

We have the same three faces at the top here, but they’re rearranged around Balance, as Fire takes the top spot and Unholy takes 3rd. Elemental gains even more ground here, four spots up, and Marksmanship finds itself as high as 5th. Assassination only drops one spot, same as Enhancement, while Demonology moves up one. Feral drops down quite a bit after its strong No.4 showing last week, five down in 9th, just ahead of Retribution, which remains stable at the end of the top 10.

Specific Keys

We’re also taking a look at the +15s, as the strangely beautiful points/completion rates drop all the way to 70 up there. Balance is still the most prevalent in the top in these high keys, with Fire dropping off the most from the overall standings, except in the really high keys.
