wow Dragonflight Season 4 Raid DPS Log Rankings, Week 2: Aberrus

[Starym 3,787]

 

We're back to Aberrus in week 2 of Season 4, as the Awakened raids continue to rotate! As you'd expect, everything has changed, with only a few specs remaining close to where they were last week in Vault, so let's see the chaos unfold! One important thing to note is that not only are the rankings different because it's a different raid, gear is also piling up for players and so specs are getting better and better, so we should start seeing which specs are good in all three raids pretty soon.

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

The last time we looked at Aberrus, an Evoker was on top as well - but it wasn't the same one! Devastation takes advantage of the incorrect logging for Augmentation and grabs the top spot! Frost Mage is the overall leader in Season 4 so far, as it was in 3rd in Vault and now sits in 2nd. Unholy is very much up since last week, with Shadow actually sitting relatively stable behind it, up 3. Arms is also in the both-raids-top-10, gaining 4 spots in 5th, while Retribution rises up from the bottom half in Vault. Last week's/raid's No.1 finds itself down in 7th, but is still doing pretty well overall, while fellow Hunter Beast Mastery only drops 3. Arcane is another very stable spec, only moving 2 spots (up), while Subtlety closes out the top 10, coming in from the bottom half. Speaking of the bottom, Fury and Balance find themselves in the final 3, joining the permanent resident Augmentation.

95th percentile Mythic data by Warcraft Logs.

Overall Damage All Percentiles

Deva is at the very top here as well, but we do see Arms doing a lot better. However, the Warrior was up very high in Vault as well, only gaining 1 spot this week and definitely carrying that "overall best" title for the generalist bracket in Season 4 so far. Retribution makes an even bigger giant leap here, with Frost Mage up a few spots, Beast Mastery extremely stable in the same No.5 slot, same as Shadow in No.6.

Boss Only Damage All Percentiles

Arms is at the very top in the direct damage chart, as we see three Fyr'alath wielders in the top 4, only disturbed by that pesky Evoker.

Heroic

Overall Damage All Percentiles

Heroic players don't really seem to care about the raid switch or different boss dynamics, as the chart is pretty stable. Arms takes down Enhancement in 3rd, with Devastation being the biggest change in 4th.

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.

We see the same specs around the top here as well, but in a different configuration. Retribution actually takes the top spot from Devastation, but both Arms and Frost are very strong at the top. Arcane is doing a lot better, with Demonology being the biggest difference between these and the points-based rankings.
