WotLK Classic Phase 4 DPS Rankings - Icecrown Citadel - Week 13 Update

January 10, 2024 4 minutes

Hey there, World of Warcraft enthusiasts! Today, we're going to dive into the exciting world of DPS rankings for Phase 4 of Wrath of the Lich King Classic in Icecrown Citadel. If you're looking for some insights into which classes are slaying the damage meters, you've come to the right place. In this analysis, we'll be using data provided by Warcraft Logs to get a comprehensive look at the top performers. So, let's get started!

The Data Source: Warcraft Logs Icecrown Citadel Statistics

Before we delve into the DPS rankings, it's important to give credit where credit is due. The data used for this article was sourced from the Icecrown Citadel Statistics Page on Warcraft Logs. This invaluable resource provides a wealth of information and allows us to paint a clearer picture of the class balance in Wrath Classic.

Now, it's crucial to note that the data we're about to explore represents the 95th percentile. This means we're looking at the top performers, which may not reflect the overall performance of each class. However, we'll also be providing statistics for overall damage in order to have a more complete understanding.

  • Understanding the Limitations of the Data

While the data from Warcraft Logs is incredibly useful, it's important to acknowledge the inherent biases and limitations present when looking at class balance. For instance:

  1. Specs that are considered underpowered are often played less, which gives the impression that they are weaker than they actually are.
  2. Performance-oriented players tend to flock towards the strongest specs or classes, widening the gap between the top and bottom performers even further.
  3. The position of specs in the 95th percentile may be skewed by alternative strategies and parse funneling.

Given these biases, it's essential to take all rankings with a grain of salt and consider the bigger picture. That's why we'll also be including a chart showing results for all percentiles, providing a more representative view for all specs.
