My take so far is all of the lower specs also have really good performing other specs for the same class which adds a level of selection bias (better players tend to play the strongest spec, which leads to better parses, etc.)
The 3 classes with a single dps spec (WW, Ret, shadow) all right in the middle.
This data set has like 2 parses or less on half the the bosses.
Demo probably will get touched, but using 95% mythic raid all bosses when only 16 guilds in the world are past boss 7 and only 5 past boss 8 (most don’t even log) isn’t a very critical statistical analysis.
Feel free to select the drop down to change it from mythic, heroic, normal. Demo is at the top of all 3
That’s the full overall data available for dps on Warcraft logs atm. During race to world first mythic players won’t upload them right away to keep their strategy secret from other guilds.
Everything you want for heroic / normal is likely there already
It’s still top, but not by as big a margin. there must always be 1 spec that does the best in the raid. The top end for Demo is also skewed because of how good that spec is for PI, and with holy priest being good again, They are often getting PI for every other tyrant.
Again: I’m not saying that demo isn’t currently very strong, I just don’t think its too far out of line that it needs a mid-tier nerf.
I expect demo to be touched slightly, that’s probably about it for dps.
The gaps just aren’t really that big, and a lot of the lower performing specs just got buffed. And there is some hefty selection bias that makes the gap appear larger than it is.
My guess is prot paladins also get nerfed and that may be it for PvE.
The reason data sets are important is trying to use percentiles and statistics with barely any data tends itself to very large standard deviations.
Totally fine. I don’t want it nerfed in PvE, look at the Twitter video I just linked above.
That setup takes all of 12 seconds to do in PvP. There’s zero counter play with Echoing Resolve trinket existing. Basically you sit at a pillar and run in circles until incredibly high dampening and hope you one shot the warlock first.
