    this Vengeance DH thing needs to be acknowledged by Blizzard, is getting out of hand this season. Is forcing us to play a boring tank if we want to push high keys, and in the other hand we have Protection warrior and Brewmaster being meme tanks. Idk if they plan on bringing all the tanks to the same level of efficiency and power, or we just have to move to another role.

    Second highest dps, fourth highest hps, but brings a ton of utility that the others don't have or have as regularly. As much as I personally loath vengeance, it does have a lot of attractive qualities for M+. That being said, I'm sure if brewmaster didn't have such ridiculous button bloat that more people would be playing that given how much damage it does or if blood had access to abomination limb more often or if they brought back gorefiend's grasp to keep up with how often vengeance can simply use sigil of chains to group mobs together we'd see a lot more of them. Personally, I like guardian because of how simple it is and the number of vengeance DHs isn't going to stop me from playing it.

    I know what you mean, Im a BDK since forever, and i wont stop playing it, but the problem is that unless you have a group for pushing is really hard for us, puggers, to get invited, even at the range of +8, +10, they dont want another tank but VDH, i remember how op was Prot Warr during BFA and then they nerf the hell out of it.

    True, they were very quick to shut down warrior then and in dragonflight as well. I know I had been looking for a group of people to play with regularly but I gave up shortly before season 4 launched since it was clear no guilds needed what I play, pugging is an awful experience in all honesty.

    I just rolled a Brewmaster monk in MoP:Remix and was looking at the data about M+, wondering why Brewmaster is so low... It has CD and top DPS and HPS, what's wrong then in high keys? Or is it just that people is too "afraid" to test it?

    The problem with other tanks like Brewmaster, Prot warr or Bear druid, is not the damage or the mitigation, is all about the utility, VDH brings tons of utility being capable of controlling big groups of minions by himself, and the only solution is reworking his utility so all the tanks have the same power. BTW Brewmaster is the top dps tank, and BDK has the highest HPS.

    Thank you for explanation, makes sense. Regarding your last comment, when I said 'top' I didn't mean the highest but BDK HPS is indeed significantly higher, my bad.

        Solozerro has defeated Mythic Garrosh alone in MoP Remix! Congrats to the amazing feat that took months of dedication to accomplish!
        In an emotional tribute to a friend who passed away during the transition between World of Warcraft's Wrath of the Lich King and Cataclysm expansions, one dedicated player has fulfilled a long-standing promise to leave their mark in the game's history.
        "I promised her I would make a name for myself in WoW history, and today, I can finally say I've done this in her honor," Solozerro said.
        This accomplishment was the result of several evenings of dedicated attempts, each preceded by a week of rigorous farming. The process spanned multiple weeks, with each attempt lasting about 15 minutes.
        The player faced significant challenges, particularly with the Y’Shaarj adds during Garrosh Hellscream’s Empowered Whirlwind phase. "You need a high DPS check just for those adds," Solozerro explained.
        Back when the fight was nearly impossible to solo as a DPS, Solo had to do it in tank specialization to avoid fight resets due to mind control, which significantly impacted their damage output.
        Despite these obstacles, the player remained steadfast. "In total, I collected over 1.5 million threads on my cloak," they said, underscoring the extent of their efforts.

        Even the recent nerfs to Garrosh Hellscream posed a unique challenge. "I overslept and when I woke up and heard about the nerfs, I was sure someone would have tried it. During the fight, I still had adds up, but luckily, I managed to meet the DPS check to avoid the Empowered Whirlwind."
        This achievement not only honors a friend's memory but also serves as an inspiration to the WoW community. "These changes will affect a lot and might actually push more people to try it," the player reflected.
        Here’s the solo video! We want to congratulate Solozerro once again and express how thrilled we are to have been part of this incredible journey!
        Solozerro's journey has come to an end today with 24 days of MoP Remix remaining! The player has soloed Mythic Garrosh after the recent raid nerfs, nearly 1 months after soloing the Paragons of Klaxxi.

        As of the War Within pre-patch, Alysrazor in the Firelands raid is bugged, preventing players from getting the Flametalon of Alysrazor mount.
        Blizzard made various updates to flying in the War Within pre-patch, and a possible side-effect could be tied to Alysrazor not leaving her spawn location when you engage her in the raid.
        Hopefully, Blizzard will soon release a fix for the issue. Until then, don't bother soloing the Firelands!

        It's time for some more preliminary stats, as the pre-patch has been here a whole 3 days (well, not exactly "whole", especially considering the game time gifts)! We're taking a look at how the class changes shifted the dungeon meta, but keep in mind these are really early numbers and fewer players do Mythic+ in post-season.
        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
        While the very top spot remains unchallenged, as Augmentation is set to rule M+ forever, the rest is pretty different! We have some Fyr'alath action right after the Evoker, as Fury and Ret fight it out over the silver, while Shadow falls down to 4th, but is still very much in the game. Unholy makes a solid leap up and passes Elemental, with Fire dropping down some. Devastation and Demonology are newcomers to the bottom 3, where Enhancement welcomes them as a pretty much permanent resident.

        Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
        All Percentiles
        Things are looking similar in the generalist bracket, but Retribution takes down Fury here and Fire is significantly higher. Survival is also doing a lot better than in the top percentiles, and Beast Mastery makes the top 10 as well.

        Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
        All Percentiles Tank (Points)
        The tanks show basically no change whatsoever, as is customary, with only Protection Warrior managing to climb one up and leave Brewmaster at the bottom.
        Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
        Healer (Points)
        Holy is pushing up and then some, claiming 2nd right below the long-time emperor, Resto Druid. Shaman climbs up from much lower to grab 3rd, while Discipline falls down to the bottom.

        Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
         
        For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.
