In this video I go through the rankings of the best DPS specs in week 1 of Castle Nathria, plus talk about how Blizzard’s planned class tuning isn’t enough to save …
Makes no sense to me a " fat owl druid" outputs more dmg than a "warrior", dont think any class needs nerfed except rogue especially for pvp they all need buffed why drag a class down just make them all equally as powerful so its skill based
Sludgefist as a warrior is horrible. You are already doing poorly, but hey now you are also forced to run around like an idiot instead of charging/leaping back. Some melee at least got their dots ticking/pet smacking the boss, while Fury got zero dots and Arms has deepwounds…
Stop being dumb asses guys this is the top 1% dps not the average wow player this info is useless unless u are in that 1%…..if you play your spec well you can still top the meters in your average raid group.
honestly 99% is kinda a bad metric to use because most of those are often parses that are overly padded, most of them are also overly luck based as well. Pretty much even a top player isn't going to hit that without lucky procs. It is typically better to use 90 or 95% which is still the top players but not overly focused on luck or look at the all percentile and look at the actual bar graphs to get a more proper idea. The problem with the 99% is that classes that have procs tend to do better in those 99% parses because they can just get a string of good luck.
If you actually look at the parses in a proper way yes druids are still op but they are not as bad as the 1% parses makes them look. Now I still do think the top 5 need another 5% nerf and the bottom 5 need another 5% buff but you can't look at 1% parses to get an idea of how classes perform because so much of a 1% parse is based on luck.
Everyone getting salty when it’s probably the most balanced it’s ever been. Also half the players couldn’t get maximum dps out of their characters anyways due to bad rotation timing. Tier lists have ruined gaming. Just love your class for what it is. Instead of crying that it’s placed 6th in the rankings for a raid difficulty you’ll never even step foot in…..
Feral could literally be top dps and we would still be shunned by the entire community. Got a whisper earlier this week to a dungeon app saying "Boomkin?" "no" "Well feral is trash, bye bye". Feelsbadman
Lol, a few hours after this post Sub rogue and the Kyrian cov are nerfed to oblivion. Destro got a 22% buff to chaos hunters warriors rogues all screwed with Kyrian NERF
I would be interested to see Feral Druids boss damage on a fight like Sire Denathrious. I wouldn't be surprised if they have the best boss damage on that fight of any spec with Apex legendary because the adds that come out feed you soooo many free bites to funnel the boss. They very well might be one of the best melee specs for that fight because they also have uncapped AoE to handle the adds while funneling the boss
Covenants dug them into another balance hellhole. My Frost DK AoE damage is off the charts rn because im Night Fae but stuff like this will not show in statistics.
I cannot believe uhdk is finally on top of single target raids. It's actually a miracle. They got rid of our true god tier aoe status with festermight's removal and the target cap. But you can't chain a god!
Small correction, 99th percentile doesn't mean you're looking at the top 1% of parses. instead it means that when it's averaging out the dps for each spec, it's taking into account 99% of parses, excluding 1% of the parses that showed the highest and lowest dps numbers. This is a technique for studying statistical numbers that helps to see a more "realistic" representation of your averages, since edge cases of insane luck or bad luck in a rotation can throw off the averages. Similarly, if you look at the 97th and 95th percentile, you're looking at a even more "averaged" average, excluding the highest and lowest 3% and 5% of samples respectively, which might be helpful for getting a more "down to earth" look into DPS numbers for Heroic for example, as the top 2-3% of parses might be min-maxing mythic raiders, only playing specific classes/spects/leggys/trinkets, which then would not really represent the damage scaling the average raider would experience. Thanks for the video! I really needed a better look into how just plain average my ret paladin is 😛
I feel videos like this make WoW more of a chore rather than a game. The people doing world firsts play WoW on the ends of 15+ hours a day and do nothing else (obviously doesn't leave time to do anything else). Play the spec you like. We have both feral and balance druids – for example, and they both kick ass. If you seriously pick a spec for numbers and not how it plays, I genuinely pity you and laugh.
I switched to arms because I was doing at least 20% more damage compared to fury, however I really hate playing arms…

Well, Havoc is still shit. Meh, gonna continue playing it.

Turns out picking survival hunter main wasn't so bad!
The only nerf resto shamans need is to necrotic wave because it is the only choice if you want to do purple parses on heal.
Think you may have made this video a few hours early

My goal in life is to teach everyone to not go with the flavor of the month and why Frost DK can dominate UH with the right pilot
Sub rogue got gutted in pvp

1:50 I have not any issues with the help of, f u n d a i l y p a y . c o m
Well balance druid just got nerfed so lets see how that plays out
Havoc needs a rework.

Don't nerf, buff underperforming specs.
What is even the point of playing melee anymore. Your specs are low dps and you have to dodge more mechanics.
Balance druid got big nerfs though 🤔

whaaaaaaaaaaaaa my class isnt top dps NERF EVERYTHING BUT ME – comments
i have not faught against a sub rouge bc i could not even press a button before beeing completely deleted
lynyrd skynyrd
Why nerf the highest dps instead of buff the lowest dps?
Why not buff???
Covenants dug them into another balance hellhole. My Frost DK AoE damage is off the charts rn because im Night Fae but stuff like this will not show in statistics.
How do people get so good with demo lock? I'm always low tier dps while having good gear
Sad, my ret almost get out DPS by tank…
Blizz needs to not nerf a lot of shit, but instead buff all of those that need it.
Somehow tho assassination got a nerf? Like I haven’t seen a single assassin rogue in SL soooooo idk why they did that
As a Ret Pally, I'm basically a high school kid in the sack…12 seconds of furious action, and then nothing until my cds reset
I cannot believe uhdk is finally on top of single target raids. It's actually a miracle. They got rid of our true god tier aoe status with festermight's removal and the target cap. But you can't chain a god!
so feral and balance has a difference in score of "10" 10 what? what does the score represent. What do the numbers mean mason!
Sub rogue have been nerfed, and it's literally on that page you're reading…
Feral druide isnt bottom? What sorcerie is this?
Imagine thinking Blizz doesn't have a long history of nerfing everything fun into the dirt.
Drink your soy milk
What site is he looking at?
One of the most broken specs in the game is called… Balance
I totally expected every if not most specs to get some balance changes this week. Including some legendaries. Im surprised.
Destro burst needs a buff as our sustain is awful
All Session warri useless dont Indersstand blizzard
Can't wait for Maldy to see this!
There was 0 reason to nerf warriors. Blizzard is delusional.

MM no nerf? check again 🙂
"You know I've played DK since wrath, let's go fury warrior this expansion!"
Well fuck me
