A much more hectic week than expected this late in the season, mostly in the top percentiles charts. We see a lot of action there, with Marksmanship rising and the three specs that dominated the season still slowly falling, while the more recent Elemental domination continues.
Mythic+ Spec and Group Popularity, Retail + Remix, Week 12
Mythic+ DPS Logs, Week 11
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.
Mythic
Overall Damage 95th Percentile
We have a bit of a Hunter resurgence, but not the one that’s been the talk of the town recently. Marksmanship gained two spots this week, moving from 4th to 2nd, leaving Beast Mastery behind. It’s neck and neck with Elemental at the very top, with the two relatively recently nerfed specs still dropping, but hanging in there. Another season favorite also dropped quite a bit this week, as Frost DK finds itself down three spots in 8th. The fall of the three previously most powerful specs is also related to players trying out new specs late in the season, so we may be seeing more of that soon.
Destruction is up two, Fire one, and Assassination enters the top 5. Fury and Windwalker meet in the final two top 10 spots, the Warrior dropping one and the Monk gaining one spot. Survival drops into the bottom 3, as Demonology makes its way out, rising three spots.
Overall Damage All Percentiles
The generalist chart is a lot more stable as usual, as we see no movement in the top 6. Marksmanship does move up here as well, however, even more than in the top percentiles, with its three-spot leap into 7th. The only other change in the top 10 is in its final spot, with Subtlety moving past Unholy.
Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
We need to go even lower to find some changes in the direct boss damage chart, as Elemental moves two spots up into 8th. The much bigger change is right behind that, with Marksmanship’s overall gains coming from this chart, where it moved 5 spots up into 9th.
Individual Bosses
Elemental and Assassination are doing better at Fractillus, while we see Marksmanship’s gains mostly on the final two bosses, especially on Dimensius.
