Week two of the pre-patch is almost behind us, and we have some clean logs to look at! The item level shenanigans from the first week have cleared out, and the class tuning has taken effect. Unholy is down to where it probably should be, and Devourer is moving on up, with Devastation and Survival duking it out for the top spot.
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
The logs have cleared up and the picture is pretty clear. Unholy dropped a lot after its big nerfs, but managed to remain in the top 10, settling in 9th. We then have the four specs that followed it simply moving up one spot, with the Evoker now claiming the top spot. The other big tuning change of the past week also bore fruit, as Devourers jumped nine spots up right into 5th. Elemental is the other rising spec in the top 10, gaining three spots. Shadow drops down to the bottom of the top, getting pushed out by the Shaman and the fallen No.1 Death Knight. Fire and Destruction remain at the very bottom, this time joined by Augmentation, as Demonology makes its way out.
Overall Damage All Percentiles
In the generalist bracket, we see the Hunter come out on top after Unholy’s departure, with the spec performing better than Devastation in most percentiles. The DK only dropped five spots here, landing in 6th. Shadow is also doing a lot better here, actually gaining a spot as Havoc drops two, with Arcane also moving past the DH in 8th. Enhancement closes out the top 10, just ahead of the rising Devourer.
Boss Only Damage All Percentiles
Things are pretty much the same in the direct damage chart, as they tend to be when kill times are as fast as they are now. The top 10 is actually identical to the regular all percentiles chart, with the first difference coming at No.11 with Arms remaining ahead of Devourer.
Individual Bosses
Fractillus
Nexus-King Salhadaar
Dimensius, the All-Devouring
Heroic Overall Damage All Percentiles
Survival grabs the top honors in the lower difficulty as well. The biggest differences here is Affliction coming out ahead of Devastation, and Unholy dropping even less, only three spots down in 4th.
