Disclaimers and Source
Our analysis is based on data from Warcraft Logs for Mythic Nerub-ar Palace as of October 29th, focusing on the 95th percentile to show overall trends in DPS rankings. While we aim to give a solid view of the current class balance, it’s important to keep in mind that the picture remains incomplete due to biases such as underrepresented specs and skewed statistics from early boss kills. Furthermore, early-season gearing heavily influences the first weeks’ rankings, making the results prone to fluctuations.
