MoP DPS Tier List

Parsing kinda cringe in firelands cuz most of the fights have requirements to parse.

Like going up on every fight that allows you to go up.

Spamming just AOE on the feet boss.

Going up on spider and bird boss.

Not moving on Baleroc

Also being horde is the key to it all.

Thankfully bird doesn’t count for all stars but yeah. Idk how to parse on spider, I go up every week but I’m still too braindead to orange it.

Rhyo is just popping bladestorm like 3 seconds after the adds spawn so they’re stacked.
Bale is just patchwerk with extra steps (IhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrotaIhatethearmsrota) Genuinely from the bottom of my heart, I hope whichever designer thought making an ability that is on the gcd, into an offensive cooldown, is now a janitor at mcdonalds or something.
Domo is also patchwerk with extra steps, and I hate him too.

It won’t. And the raids themselves will be getting harder and harder. Everyone feels like they need to clear everything in Classic but that will be increasingly more difficult the further on we get.

I mean, I hate vengeance as a dps player. It doesn’t feel good to be destroyed in dps by a tank.

Classes and players that can master snapshotting are going to be king for the most part. Its more than midly out of control in MOP.

Do more dps then. The only time you should actually lose to your tank in a raid is in a purpose built group where the GOAL is to 1 tank 2/1/0 heal (in 25 man) and stack classes with defensives they can throw on the tank so the tank can stand in every single mechanic intentionally for vengeance. While wearing crit/haste gear.

If your tank is outdpsing you in any other raid situation, it’s useless pad, or you’re really really bad.

Did you… play MoP? Tanks can do absurd numbers with vengeance.

If you’re losing to a tank in a standard 2 tank raid setup where you’ll be dealing with tank swaps by actually tank swapping instead of just rolling dr’s through it, you 100% should be beating tanks as a dps. I promise I’ve played more MoP than you.

Ok, MoP expert, why is every top parse on this boss a tank? There’s not a dps until rank 96.

Paragons is even worse, there’s not a dps until rank 172.

Oh look, no dps in the top 100 dps rankings on Siegecrafter.

That’s a full year into siege of orgrimmar being open btw. Mayyyybbbeee do some research on what happens when people have a year of gearing in one raid.

Maybe just accept that you’re not all-knowing. Tank dps is insane in MoP and you don’t have to go way out of your way to make it so. Feels bad as a dps. This is my opinion. Take it or leave it.

I know more than you. Like that that’s a full year into the tier, for one. And two, those top parses are doing EXACTLY what I said btw. One tank, standing in mechanics intentionally for vengeance.

Huge congrats, do you want a cookie?

It’s literally hundreds of parses, page after page of barely any dps players atop the dps ranks.

And…? It will be like that again. Tanks will be doing top dps. lol

Yeah, when you build for it. The #1 parse Viklund has 40% crit.

He’s literally a dps intentionally gaining thousands of AP per the mechanics of the game. It’s fury/prot but now your tanks don’t have to steal your dps gear to do it. (unless you’re really trying to parse, which these guys aren’t.

Idk homie, 90% of tanks are going to be beat by dps. The top overall ranks will be filled with dps players playing tanks. But your per class rankings won’t be affected. Which is what you should be looking at anyway.

He’s a tank in tank spec, and yes, that is literally my point, it feels bad as a dps player when the game is set up for tanks to do more dps than dps.

Actually even better. Go look at mythic siege logs. 0 tanks in the top 50.

Why’d you link heroic you dummy.

After a year of gearing, I would expect most of the raid to be fully equipped with best-in-slot items. With that in mind, they should be performing optimally, not being out-dpsed by tanks due to a broken buff.

You contradict yourself. Do you understand how this is broken and needs to be nerfed? You are acknowledging that it is broken while simultaneously arguing that it is acceptable, all within the same post.

Look at mythic not heroic. It’s all dps. Heroic became a meme of people just doing stuff for WCL. It’s like normal parses right now.

Also, you’re the last person to be talking mr “High end raider”

you get beat on dps by healers

Mythic difficulty was released much later than Heroic. Comparing logs from different release times can lead to misleading conclusions. Additionally, the context of the discussion was about the performance of tanks in general, and Heroic logs provide valuable insights into that.

Because Mythic didn’t exist until WoD pre-patch? You sure you’re an MoP expert?

I actually forgot it was part of wod prepatch. My bad. Wod release is around when I quit originally.
