Dragonflight Mythic+ Season 1 DPS, Tank and Healer Log Rangkings: Week 1.5

Recommended Posts

Clipboard02.jpg
 

We're taking a mid-week look at the Mythic+ logs, as some major tuning arrived this week and we wanted to give it a chance to take effect.

Note: The 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

We'll just take a quick look at the rankings this time around, as we'll be back next time with a full week's worth of tuning data. Outlaw pushes Arcane down, but the rest remains very much the same as in our first look last week, with Feral sneaking in past Shadow to the final top 10 spot. The bottom is also the same, with Warlocks having a pity party, as Fire gets joined by Beast Mastery near the end.

All Percentiles

Subtletly is the mover here, as it pushes Marksmanship down, with the Hunter spec also getting bullied out of the top 3 by Arcane. Windwalker and Demonology avoid all the chaos around them and stay put in 5th and 6th, as Havoc pushes through Balance into 7th. Enhancement also moves past Feral to claim the last top 10 spot. Meanwhile the bottom is looking just like in the high percentiles, except it a different Hunter there with Fire and the Warlocks.

Tanks

Protection Warrior made its way to the top, as both it and Blood DK pushed Vengeance down out of its pre-patch dominance, as Paladins and Druids commiserate at the bottom.

Healers

Preservation makes a name for itself here, as it almost manages to topple Balance out of first place, and the Priests bemoan their pre-patch performance.

These stats are just not reliable. Click into the Warcraft Logs site and look at how insanely lopsided all of the numbers are. In some charts, there might be 30 runs for a DK and only 5 for a Druid. Then consider what you are seeing above includes ALL item levels so, if those 30 DK runs have an average item level higher than the 5 Druid runs, well, obviously the DK runs have an advantage.

This is the only consistent thing you see in the real numbers over there, how uneven the information is. Unless the classes and races are evenly represented then all these charts do is show you which is getting the most play, not which is truly better.

i was thinking to roll back to prot pala but that is also last...

Play what you like dude^^ I'm destro and in any dungeon or raid I did I never felt like I'm the worst x) I'm closer to the best than the worse. Probably coz I have decent gear ;  but I still don't have 2/4 bonus sets or 2 best trinkets. Indeed If you play a "low" spec, you better not skip some stages and take your time to get gear coz your spec doesn't compensate your lack of stuff ; but that's it. Except If you're Mythic raider or expect to do MM+20 keys ; playing best specs isn't necessary and you should play what you like in my opinion. And that's even more the case with tanks and healers, the difference between them is almost non-existent here^^

Long story short, the game is 10 times better if your class is S tier.

When those tiers are based on bad information, you should play what you like.

I think the information for these rankings are very accurate.

The other problem is ppl whatching it and make groups based on this, so it doesnt matter if the information is good or bad, if your class is the last here you not gona be invited to good groups.

Except it is not accurate, or even close to being accurate. Anyone that understands distribution, averages, and sampling knows that these rankings are antithesis of accuracy.

What they are, however, are a prime representation of popularity. The Warcraft Logs website allows you to view the information regarding the number of runs per class, item level, etc. Not a single chart gives equal representation when it comes to these factors. That alone makes the "Show All" chart which we are presented with in these articles woefully inaccurate in terms of class ranking.

Relying on these charts for even a casual idea of which class stands out in terms of performance is a massive mistake, but especially for group comps.

As an example, look at the table at the bottom of this page https://www.warcraftlogs.com/zone/statistics/31#boss=2587&bracket=1 . Direct your eyes to the far right column labeled "Parses". Even on a set boss, Eranog, with a set difficulty of Mythic and a tighter item level range of 376-378, the parses are all over the place. Now, this is a much better representation of performance than the "Show All" which we are continuously presented on here, but it is still completely inaccurate since the parses are not equal.

For any of these charts to be accurate, you have to have equal parses, on the same fight, with those parses in the tightest item level range possible. Otherwise, it is merely a representation of which class is getting played the most. That, of course, leads to many playing those same higher played classes, which leads to a more heavily skewed and inaccurate log.

It's simple statistics and while Warcraft Logs is a solid utility for the game, in this instance, it is being used wrong.

So, yes, it does matter that this information is wrong, ESPECIALLY because it will be used to build groups.

Yes its shows what class played the most, but ppl play the best classes the most, and if you play ingame the dps between classes are bigger than represented here, as a 388 destro lock a 377 marksman hunter did the same dmg than me after the marksman nerfed and the destro buffed, in the same gear they do a lot more dmg in m+.

The intent of Warcraft logs is to demonstrate through the numbers which class is doing better. However, when those numbers are not properly distributed, the results are inaccurate. The fact that we are merely seeing a popularity contest when we are led to believe it is a representation of performance is the problem. It means these charts are 100% inaccurate in terms of performance. Your statement that

misses the whole point. Warcraft logs is meant to tell us which classes are truly best, by the numbers, but by virtue of how this data is being utilized, all we see are what is played the most and NOT what is best. Just because a lot of people play one class over another does not mean it is best, it just means it is what those people play. Specifically, the limited number of people bothering to take the steps needed to collect data and submit it to Warcraft logs.

So, my point stands, these charts are completely inaccurate as a representation of actual performance of classes and stand only to show us which classes are being played the most. Because of this, the data should not be presented as a "this class is best" but more of a "this is the class being played the most".

As for your example, that is only one experience which can be affected by many variables. Anecdotal evidence is not representative of the overall picture, and is less reliable than utilizing results from a system such as Warcraft logs if it is used correctly.

The details are what matter. The reason your toons do not get invited is because these charts are being used incorrectly. That is a huge problem and is leading to those groups making decisions with bad information which likely leads to greater difficulty.

      Today's hotfixes are still very Plunderstorm-heavy, but we do get fixes for more achievement-related mount issues and PvP catch-up, in addition to the limited time event's adjustments.
      March 27 (Source)
      Achievements
      Fixed bugs causing mounts related to A World Awoken to be unavailable, including Bestowed Ottuk Vanguard, Bestowed Trawling Mammoth, Bestowed Thunderspine Packleader, Bestowed Sandskimmer, Bestowed Ohuna Spotter, Coralscale Salamanther, Stormtouched Bruffalon, and Taivan. Player versus Player
      Fixed an issue that prevented Splintered Sparks of Dreams from dropping from PvP sources while eligible for catch-up. Plunderstorm
      The Storm’s fury swells! Lightning strikes during the final stage of the Storm are faster and more dangerous than before. There is now a delay of 20 seconds after being revived where players no longer drop collected Plunder. Additional enemies now spawn at Witherbark Village, the wild area northeast of Go’Shek Farm, and the wild area between Witherbark Village and Boulderfist Hall. Fixed an issue where swapping back to default sword and gun appearances were not saving correctly. Fixed an issue so that now, picking up an additional rank 2 spell while the same rank 2 spell is equipped properly grants the rank 4 version of the spell. The Captain’s Orders quest “X Marks the Spot” now requires 1 item to be picked up (was 2 items).

      Well that didn't take long! We found out someone had broken the 700,000 Plunder milestone yesterday evening, and we're already done with the full amount now! Soularpower_ managed to grind it out a couple of hours ago in duos, and grabbed the Plunderkind achievement, so huge congratulations! It's been a week and a day since the event was released, and despite there being plenty of Plunder drop buffs since then it's still great to see someone get it all done already. 


      Unsurprisingly, the first thing Soularpower_ after reaching that goal was... play more Plunderstorm! He's actually still at it if now you want to check the stream out.

      Here's our first post-patch look at the Mythic+ log rankings. While the patch didn't really touch any of the DPS or tank specs, there's still some movement there, especially in the raw DPS chart. Healers got some solid changes in the patch, and the definitely had an effect.
      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
      The top percentiles are extremely stable, which makes sense since the patch didn't really bring any significant changes for DPS specs. We have to go down to number 7 to see the first bit of movement, as Destruction moves two up, leaving its fellow Warlock down in 9th, as Arms gets between them, gaining 3 spots. Havoc closes out the top 10 three down, and right behind it we find the newly buffed Elemental moving three up. While Augmentation is being properly calculated, we still find an Evoker in the bottom 3, as Devastation drops one down and takes Marksmanship's place.

      All Percentiles
      It took Shadow a little longer to get into the top in the generalist bracket, as we find it in 3rd now, pushing Outlaw down one. Balance also moves up, 2 spots into 6th, as it and Arms take advantage of Havoc's fall. The Demon Hunter finds itself 3 down in 9th, while Fury remains stable at the very end of the top 10.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS 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.
      While Outlaw remains at the top, pretty much everything's changing beneath it. Shadow and Retribution joined forces and moved two up together, breaking into the top 3. Fire is also on the rise, gaining 3 spots, and right behind it we find another big leaper, as Arms moves a whopping 5 spots up.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
      All Percentiles Tank (Points)
      There's actually some solid movement here, as we see Paladin take 2nd away from DK and Druid take Monk down, with Warrior remaining in last place and DH being far ahead of the pack.
      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Healer (Points)
      Healers had some significant changes with the patch, but it hasn't stopped Monk from remaining at the top. Druid moves into 2nd, taking Discipline Priest down a peg, and it seems the Holy Priest patch reworks helped it out, as it gains a spot in 4th.

      In Dragonflight Season 4, Awakened/Fated raids will be on a weekly rotation.
      Upon accessing the Adventure Guide and navigating to the Raids section, you'll notice a green gem icon beside the raid that's Awakened for the current week.

      When a raid is Awakened, bosses are more powerful and loot drops are upgraded to a higher item level. The upcoming season revisits the Fated system introduced in Shadowlands Season 4.

      We've already taken a look at all the items coming to the Trading Post next month, as the Season 4 PTR revealed them, but now let's see them in movement as well! MrGM has detailed everything coming in April, from the awesome Dreadwake mount to a pretty cool polearm, some new capes, and all the other pirate-themed items. Let's take a look. 

      If you'd rather just scroll through some images, you can head on to our original post here.
