[hide]Patch 4.2[/hide] is winding to a close, [hide]patch 4.3[/hide] is on the PTR, and we’ve recently seen Ghostcrawler (lead systems developer) making some public comments about [hide]DPS balance[/hide] in the Developer Watercooler — in particular, discussing the increase of the AP buff for melee classes. All of this makes it a great time to take a look at the state of DPS among all of the specs.
Of course, we don’t have nearly as much data as Blizzard has access to; however, we do have better data than ever before. In particular, the best data source we have comes from raiders who upload raid parses to [hide]World of Logs[/hide], which then makes these tens of thousands of parses available to all of us. Next, we have [hide]Raidbots[/hide], a site that automatically parses this data for us, letting us very easily sort through those massive numbers of raid parses.
One of the things that I think too many players get caught up on with this data is looking at the rankings — and I’ve certainly been guilty of this myself. It’s just so easy to look and say «Hey, my class is ranked 10 of the 22 specs.» But of course, that’s not terribly helpful — after all, I don’t care if I’m ranked 21 if I’m only 50 DPS behind number one.
Join me after the cut as we take a look at a different way of examining the data to see how all the DPS specs are performing in Firelands.
