The top 3 is concluded! Method have now finished Amirdrassil Mythic as well, and in fairly unusual and daring fashion!
After 458 pulls Method brought the dragon down, but not before making an interesting choice to not re-clear the raid after the EU reset, instead opting to extend their previous lockout. This meant they would not be getting gear upgrades from the raid, and only be improving their item levels from other weekly reset sources like the Vault etc. It seems that worked out well for them, as they only spent 4 hours on the boss today after the reset, after a previous 8% best from the week before.
Here's the full phase 3:
Congratulations to Method for the kill, as the boss is really impressive as we'll see just how many guilds even manage to down it at all before nerfs.

Ensemble: Spring Reveler's Collection is a new Love is in the Air armor set added in Patch 10.2.5.
Blizzard's updating Love is in the Air in Patch 10.2.5. This week's PTR builds adds the Ensemble: Spring Reveler's Collection armor set that keyboardturn has reconstructed and you can see there are three tints of the set. I assume the blue one will be a good fit especially for Frost Mages.

Season 3 week 2 is behind us and we have some very solid data to work with! Augmentation is the king of the hill as Arcane drops a fair bit, and Fury is on the rise as well. Also don't forget, we just had some class tuning this week which may impact the below rankings this week.
Warcraft Logs Points
The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning 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, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
All Keys
95th percentile DPS
It seems Arcane's rise was fairly short-lived, as last week's No.1 finds itself down in 6th, with Augmentation taking over the 5-man scene. The Evoker leads Outlaw and Fire in the top 3, with Havoc and Demonology looking in just behind, also having moved past Arcane. Balance is the most stable spec in these first few weeks, both here and in raids, as it holds on to No.7. Fury is very much on the rise, up 5 spots and pushing Assassination down to 9th, with Beast Mastery closing out the top 10. The other two Warlock specs find themselves at the very bottom, joined by Marksmanship.
Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
All Percentiles
Arcane only drops 4 spots in the generalist bracket, as Aug still sees its way to the top. Havoc is also doing slightly better, as it rises 3 spots to the tail end of the top 3, while the Mages stick together beneath it. Balance is still stoic in 7th, as Fury moves to 9th and Assassination closes out the top 10. Things are very similar to the top percentiles here, more so than usual, as we see the bottom 3 is the same as well.
Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
U.GG 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.
The top 2 remains the same in the pure DPS rankings, but Outlaw gets replaced by Demonology in third. Arcane actually moves up a spot here, as Arms drops two, with Enhancement pushing up as well. At the bottom we're seeing the same issues with Augmentation we've seen in raids, as their raw DPS is not being measured correctly on Warcraft Logs, with other specs getting the benefit of what is supposed to be the Evoker's damage. You can watch this video for the details.
Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs and u.gg. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides, as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

Get Tender Every Month
At the first of each month, players with an active account in good standing will receive 500 Trader’s Tender automatically every month from a chest called the Collector’s Cache. If you don’t have active game time on your account or aren’t a subscriber at the start of a new month, don’t worry. Your Tender will be awarded on the first day of the month when you do have game time or an active subscription. This will be the same amount for everyone, regardless of how you pay for your game time.
The Traveler's Log
Complete monthly activities listed in the new Traveler’s Log. Each month features a rotating, themed set of activities. These activities provide the opportunity to earn up to 500 additional Trader’s Tender. There’s only a set amount of Tender you can earn each month through completing activities, so you won’t need to complete all the ones in the log each month. You’ll be able to pick and choose from a variety of fun in-game activities to easily earn Tender. Players can choose to earn by continuing to play the game as they already do, such as completing quests, competing in battlegrounds, participating in holiday activities, and even running Mythic+ dungeons. But you can also choose to take part in activities uniquely designed for the month.
Freeze an Item
Before the month comes to an end, if you haven’t purchased that one “must-have” item yet, don’t worry. You can “freeze” an item so you can purchase it later. When you freeze an item, it will stay available month over month until it is purchased or replaced.
If this month’s offerings didn’t have the items you wanted, you can hang on to your Trader’s Tender to spend later. It won’t go anywhere, and unspent Tender will continue to accumulate each month.
What a Tender Moment
As a way of saying “Thank you” to the community for continuing to play World of Warcraft with us, we are awarding a bonus 500 Trader’s Tender to players who purchase Dragonflight and add it to their account†. This bonus Trader’s Tender will also be rewarded retroactively to players who have already purchased Dragonflight. Players can collect this bonus Trader’s Tender from their Collector’s Cache.
Learn more about the Trading Post in our previously published news post on the official site.
*The Trading Post feature is not available in WoW Classic titles.
**Requires World of Warcraft Subscription or Game Time
***Requires Level 10 to access the Adventure Guide.
†Bonus Trader’s Tender is granted only once per Battle.net account.
