We finally have a full rotation of Awakened raids behind us! Amirdrassil is back and with it, very appropriately, the Fyr'alath wielders take over entirely. As usual there's plenty of movement all over the place with a new raid, as things look relatively similar to where we left them in Season 3.
Note: We are using Normalized scores instead of raw DPS for the Warcraft Logs rankings. The u.gg rankings at the bottom are raw DPS. 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
Amirdrassil is very thematically on-point, as its own legendary axe, Fyr'alath, is very much dominating the standings. Unholy and Arms rule the very top, and only Arcane manages to pierce the axe boys to gran 3rd, with Retribitution breathing down its neck. This brings Unholy up to be best spec across all three raids, as former lead Frost Mage is way down around the middle of the pack here. Speaking of Frost, the DK version is on the move up as well, just below Assassination, with Shadow right behind it, as the Priest remains pretty stable throughout all three raids. Windwalker is back in the top 10 as well, joined by previous No.1 Devastation and its Vault partner Marksmanship. Subtlety and Survival make their way down to the bottom 3 to join Augmentation.

Things are even more on-theme in the generalist bracket, as all three top spots are taken by legendary axe wielders! Assassination is doing even better here, pulling in front of Arcane, with the tag-team of Marksmanship and Windwalker also doing some really good work. Affliction makes an uncommon appearance in the top 10, beating out Shadow for 7th, as two previous raid top dogs find themselves at the end of the top 10.

Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
The top 3 is Fyr'alath dominated here as well, with Assassination and Shadow sticking to the top. Feral pops up pretty high, and we see Fire after quite a while, with Subtlety and Demonology finding their way to the bottom.

Heroic
Overall Damage All Percentiles
Even the usually raid-agnostic Heroic is impacted by Amirdrassils love of Fyr'alath, as we see Arms move up 1 spot into 2nd and Retribution climb 3 in 3rd. Nothing can stop Arcane here, of course, with the short fights just being too perfect for the bursty spec.

U.GG Raw Mythic DPS Rankings
U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks. This chart is for Mythic only.
Its not the axe at the very top in the raw DPS chart, as Affliction returns to the No.1 spot, as it was in regular Amirdrassil. We do see two Fyr'alath enjoyers right after that, however, and the third one isn't too far away down in 6th. Demonology is the other big difference between the raw DPS and normalized, sitting in 5th as opposed to being in the bottom half above.

Due to a strange bug, only class trials can complete the Void Elf Heritage Armor questline on live servers.
Reddit user tchnl discovered that you can create a Void Elf Class Trial character to complete the Heritage of the Void questline on live servers.
The player couldn't begin the questline with their Void Elf character after reaching Level 50, and suspects it's a bug from Patch 10.2.7. However, when they created a Class Trial character, they found Alleria in the right place and were able to complete the quest.
