Fury Led 95th-Percentile Overall Damage; Fire Led Boss Damage
Fury Warrior, Feral Druid and Fire Mage formed the leading trio in the week-of-January-16, 2024 ICC snapshot. Fury occupied the first overall-damage position at the 95th percentile, while Fire occupied first for damage to bosses. Feral led both all-percentile views.
These Week 15 results came from Anshlun’s January 24, 2024 report, using Warcraft Logs charts. The measured week and the later publication date describe different parts of the snapshot.
Visible filters: Heroic Icecrown Citadel, 25-player, all bosses, DPS, all item levels, a one-week range, normalized-score aggregation and the Phase 4 (Buff) partition. All four captures use that scope, with the percentile and damage selection changing between views.

Retribution, Arcane and Arms Show Why the View Matters
Retribution’s third place appeared in one particular view
Retribution Paladin was third in the all-percentile overall ordering, ahead of Fire Mage. It was fourth in both 95th-percentile charts and the all-percentile boss chart. A claim that it was simply “third this week” would omit the selection that produced that position.
Arcane changed with the percentile selection
Arcane Mage occupied tenth place in both 95th-percentile views, and fifteenth in both all-percentile views. The difference described those displayed populations; it did not show a five-position damage loss for one character.
Arms and Beast Mastery changed with the damage question
Arms Warrior was sixteenth for 95th-percentile overall damage and nineteenth for bosses. Its all-percentile positions were eighteenth overall and twenty-first for bosses. Beast Mastery Hunter moved from twenty-first overall to twentieth for bosses at the 95th percentile, and from twentieth to eighteenth across all percentiles.
These comparisons give a more useful reference than selecting one ordering for every purpose. They preserve what changed without inventing a cause, exact percentage gap or raid-spot recommendation.
Normalized Scores Were Not a Shared Raw DPS Scale
The chart axes are scores, and the all-percentile images show distributions. Their positions do not provide one raw damage-per-second figure for every category. A place in the table cannot be converted directly into a damage percentage.
For reviewing a character, begin with the relevant encounter and question. Overall damage and damage to bosses can include different target sets. Then inspect an appropriate individual report for actions, survival and time on target; the aggregate ordering cannot supply those details by itself.
The Phase 4 (Buff) label is visible, but these captures do not show a separate numerical buff setting. Keep the displayed partition and January date attached to the results rather than adding a percentage the image does not establish.
