Revised Title: Update 10.2 DPS Rankings
Hey there, gamers! Today, we're going to dive into the world of Aberrus the Shadowed Crucible and take a closer look at the DPS balance during the exciting week of November 7th, which marked the release of Patch 10.2. So, grab your favorite gaming snack and let's get started!
The Data Analysis
For this analysis, we will be using the invaluable data provided by Warcraft Logs Raid Statistics for Dragonflight Season 2. Please note that this information is specific to Mythic difficulty and reflects the statistics of the 95th percentile. We will also provide an overview of the overall results to give you a better understanding of the class balance in the game.
Before we continue, it's important to remember that this data provides us with a perspective on the current state of class balance during Dragonflight Season 2. However, it's not the complete picture, as there are inherent biases when analyzing data in this manner. Let's explore those biases to better understand the context of our findings.
Inherent Biases
One bias that we encounter is the tendency for players to opt for the stronger class or spec when it comes to performance-oriented gameplay. This naturally widens the gap between the top and bottom specs and may make underpowered specs appear weaker than they actually are. So, keep in mind that a spec being considered underpowered doesn't necessarily mean it's incapable of delivering impressive results.
Another factor that may skew the position of certain specs at the 95th percentile is the implementation of alternative strategies and parse funneling. These techniques can heavily influence the rankings and distort the true potential of different specs. To provide a clearer picture for all specs, we will include a chart showcasing the results across all percentiles.
