We get to have a look at the DPS meters on Liquid’s World First Dimensius kill! Liquid’s GM Max went over their performance on the fight, sharing all the logs. We get to see the overall damage, as well as the individual phases. Boy that Shooting Star player sure is fantastic!
The Numbers
First, let’s see a quick overview with a clip, provided by Raider.IO, and then we’ll go through each set of logs individually.
Full Fight Damage
Starting with the full overview, we need to firt separate Shooting Stars out. These are the dark orbs players pick up during the two Skyriding intermissions, and each of the 10 you can get does 7% of the Void Lord mini-boss HP. So that’s 70% total on the two Void Lords combined.
The rest is as you’d expect, with Rogues and Mages doing well on the add phases, and Elemental Shamans in Phase 1 with that cleave.
Phase 1
Those Shamans taking over the place, with Havoc’s mobility helping it compete with them on the gravity-producing adds. We even see Devastation pop up under the blue and purple!
Phase 2
The Void Lord Platforms are all about blasting down all those adds, and Arcane and Subtlety are dominating, with Frost DK getting a look in.
Phase 3
The single-target phase still has Subtlety right on top, as only Dimensius was relevant. The Shamans and Evoker return as well, with Mages falling off quite a bit.
These numbers won’t be too useful for non-Race-to-World-First guilds, as the boss will be very heavily nerfed very soon, changing things up. The specs that are good on him will still be good, but won’t necessarily be mandatory for kills. We’ll see just how hard he gets hit, most likely with the reset.
