The tuning is slow to kick in, or the nerfs weren’t quite enough to dislodge the top specs. We do see some movement in the top percentiles, but the rankings remain mostly the same, with Beast Mastery even rising in the all percentiles bracket, despite the nerfs. With many players over on Legion Remix, it makes sense that the changes are a bit smaller than expected.
Raid DPS Logs, Week 9
DPS Logs, by Warcraft Logs Points
The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing. This means that 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. It is a much, much smaller factor, however. It grants only a few points for significantly faster completions compared to just any in-time finish. We’re also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity. This means that the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
95th percentile DPS
The tuning is only starting to show at the top, as Frost DK retains its dominance in the high percentiles. We do see Arcane drop below Havoc post-nerf, however, as well as Beast Mastery lose a spot. Elemental is the big climber, same as in the raid, grabbing two spots, as both Fury and Subtlety drop. Feral and Outlaw remain stable near the end of the top 10, with Unholy moving past Balance to grab the final spot. The bottom 3 remain the same, as the tuning only brought nerfs for the top classes, but Arms did manage to push to the top of the bottom, past Augmentation.
All Percentiles
The generalist bracket moves slower as usual, so much so that Bm is still gaining ground despite the nerf! The Hunter moves up a spot and pushes Subtlety down, while the rest of the top 10 remains identical, ending with Balance. Just outside it, we see Outlaw and Windwalker surge, as the two non-Affliction Warlocks drop down pretty hard. Speaking of Affliction, it’s still clinging on for dear life just outside the bottom 3.
Specific Keys
Enhancement and Survival are taking over the lower keys, while Frost DK drops out of the top spot in 10s. The Mages are dominating 12s, as Fire rises dramatically, and Havoc takes over 15s.

Very High Key Raw DPS Numbers
Note: We’re also taking a look at the raw damage numbers from Mythicstats. They take the top runs for extremely high keys (+14-21) from WarcraftLogs and list the overall DPS for the dungeon, which includes non-combat time as well. They’re ranked by the average DPS numbers, with the very top of the top shown next to it.
There’s absolutely no movement in the top 5 in the raw DPS chart, followed by a giant burst from Outlaw as it gains a huge 6 spots. The next significant move is at the end of the top 10, as Unholy reclaims some ground and moves 5 spots up.
