October 24, 2023 3 minutes

Hey there, fellow gamers! Today, we'll dive into the exciting world of DPS rankings in Phase 4 of Wrath of the Lich King Classic, specifically focusing on Icecrown Citadel during the week of October 17th. Join me as we explore the latest data provided by Warcraft Logs' Icecrown Citadel Statistics.

Understanding the Data

Disclaimer: The data used for this analysis was sourced from the Icecrown Citadel Statistics Page on Warcraft Logs. To give you a comprehensive overview, we'll be looking at the 95th percentile statistics, but don't worry, we'll also touch on the overall results.

It's important to keep in mind that while this data provides valuable insights, it doesn't present a complete picture of Phase 4 balance in Wrath Classic. There are inherent biases when looking at the data in this way. Let's explore a few of them:

  • 1. Popular Specs vs. Underpowered Specs

Specs that are considered underpowered often see less playtime and may appear weaker than they actually are. This is because many performance-oriented players tend to gravitate towards the strongest spec or class, creating a larger gap between the top and bottom performers.

  • 2. Skewing of Percentiles

It's also important to note that the position of specs for the 95th percentile may be skewed by alternative strategies and parse funneling. To address this, we'll include a chart showcasing results across all percentiles, providing a more comprehensive outlook for all specs.
