The meta is well and truly formed here at the end of patch 11.1.5. We have a very stable top 10 in both major charts, with some minor movement around the bottom as Arms gains some traction this week.
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
It’s a very stable situation in the top percentiles as we have the exact same top 9 as last week! While there haven’t been any changes or fixes, it’s still a little unusual to have things be this set in stone, even this late in a patch cycle. In either case, down in No.9 we see Arms finally getting past both Shamans, as Elemental drops to 10th. Augmentation drops a spot down in 13th as Affliction rises. The bottom 3 also remains the same, with Survival moving out of the last spot and leaving its fellow Hunter there.
All Percentiles
Retribution remains in a very solid 4th as we also have to move down to 9th to see a change. This time it’s the fall of Demonology that’s shaking things up, as the Warlock drops 5 spots into 14th. Enhancement remains the top Shaman here and grabs 9th, with Elemental still keeping Arms at bay in 10th.
Specific Keys
Feral moves to the very top of +7s as Survival drops a few spots and Windwalker drops in 10s but rises in 15s, and Outlaw has some big gains in the very high keys.

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 (+13-19) 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.
We do see some action at the top here, and while Ret holds on to its surprising top 3 spot, Outlaw comes in hot on its heels, taking Arcane down one. Devastation comes in at the end of the top 10 gaining two spots, as Elemental switches spots with the Evoker. Shadow’s buffs didn’t do it much good here, as it falls to the very bottom, with Augmentation moving past it and Fire.
