Gnomeregan Week 7 DPS Rankings Overview
Season of Discovery Phase 2 launched February 8, 2024 with a level 40 cap, and by week 7 (approximately March 19th) the Gnomeregan raid meta had stabilized around a clear set of dominant damage dealers. This post breaks down where classes land on Warcraft Logs for that week, covering both 95th-percentile parses and overall averages. Players looking to run Gnomeregan with an experienced group can boost their SoD raid clears on any spec.
Top 3 DPS Classes in Gnomeregan
Mage, Rogue, and Warrior hold the top three spots in Gnomeregan for week 7, consistent with the rune kits available in Phase 2:
- Mage benefits from Arcane and Fire rune synergies, pushing burst damage well above most other casters at this gear tier.
- Rogue capitalizes on Slaughter from the Shadows and Cutthroat runes, both of which are confirmed Season of Discovery additions that significantly increase single-target output.
- Warrior DPS builds remain strong throughout Phase 2, with rune-driven rotations that close the gap with the more rune-favored caster specs.
Here is how the top three look across both Warcraft Logs ranking cuts for the week of March 19th.
Warcraft Logs Data: 95th Percentile vs. Overall
Warcraft Logs splits its rankings into two useful lenses: 95th-percentile parses show what a class's best players produce, while overall averages reflect how the class performs across the broader playerbase. For Gnomeregan week 7, the two views tell a consistent story — Mage, Rogue, and Warrior lead both cuts. The data is sourced from the Gnomeregan Statistics page on Warcraft Logs for the week of March 19th.
| Spec | Overall Damage Rank | Damage to Bosses Rank |
|---|---|---|
| Mage | 1 | 1 |
| Rogue | 2 | 2 |
| Warrior | 3 | 3 |
Keep in mind that 95th-percentile rankings can be influenced by parse-optimization techniques including targeted gear funneling, so treat these numbers as a ceiling estimate rather than a flat class comparison. Specs with smaller player pools also score lower than their actual ceiling because performance-oriented players cluster on the highest-ranking classes.
What the Rankings Mean for Your Roster
A few practical takeaways from week 7 data:
- Mage, Rogue, and Warrior are in a strong position to compete for top parses without needing perfect Phase 2 gear.
- Classes outside the top three are not unplayable — Gnomeregan is a 10-player raid and composition flexibility matters more than raw damage ceiling at this gear level.
- Rankings shift as gear improves over the phase; a class sitting lower in week 7 can climb once players acquire the full Phase 2 set bonuses.
With those rankings in view, class rankings continued to shift as players acquired full Phase 2 gear and rune combinations matured.
