A Stable Week: Survival and Outlaw Drop in Week 19 of Raid Logs

Starym's Avatar by Starym

We have a pretty stable week, which sees Survival, Outlaw and Assassination lose some ground. Heroic is an entirely different story, as Affliction takes over, and Survival actually rises!

Note: We are using normalized scores instead of raw DPS for the Warcraft Logs rankings. 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.

It’s been a very stable week this time around, as we need to head down to No.7 for our first change. Survival is on another of its many bounces, dropping a spot to Havoc. The story of the week is Arcane, as it bursts up 6 spots into 8th, pushing Shadow down one. Outlaw closes out the top 10, also pulling off a huge leap, gaining 9 spots and pushing Beast Mastery down. The spec is often going up and down, similarly to Survival, just with much larger margins.

Overall Damage All Percentiles

We see changes a lot faster here, as Survival was higher up and dropped as well. The Hunter drops a lot more, from 3rd to 6th, letting the two Warlocks and Paladin through. Assassination is on a similar trajectory, dropping three spots and letting Havoc and the two Warriors through. Arcane only gains four spots here, parking right outside the top 10. Down at the end of the list we see Augmentation return to its long-standing home, joining Frost Mage and Balance in the bottom 3.

Boss Only Damage All Percentiles

We see changes even higher here, as Survival’s drop is from No.1! The Hunter only loses one spot, however, dropping to 2nd in favor of Marksmanship. Arcane gets a one-spot bump as well, while Feral drops two.

Mythic Bosses

Balance climbs back to the top on Stix, while we see Survival’s fall from grace on Sprocket, dropping from first to third. Despite its stumble, the top 3 is still all Hunters on Mug’Zee, while Fury and Havoc rise on Gallywix.

Affliction takes over Heroic, moving past both Marksmanship and Devastation. Assassination drops here as well, with Arms and Ret moving past it. Survival actually moves up here, gaining two spots as the lower difficult didn’t quite get the message of the week!
