A Historical Aberrus Result, Not Today’s Tier List
This is the Dragonflight Season 4 Week 2 snapshot published May 6, 2024, discussing the week of April 30. The complete order and population column come from Anshlun’s original report using Warcraft Logs. They apply to Mythic Awakened Aberrus, not current WoW or Mythic+.
Read the Filters on the Captured Chart
The preserved image selects all bosses, all item levels, overall damage, the 95th percentile and normalized scores. It also visibly selects a two-week range. Although the report discusses the April 30 week, the capture should not be described as a newly reproduced, precisely seven-day query.
The horizontal axis is a normalized score rather than raw damage per second. It gives a relative comparison across the included encounters, not a character’s damage output in a single run. The95thpercentile view is a high-performance comparison, rather than an average-player result.
The Full Published Order
The table lists all 26 specializations in this snapshot. The last column compares positions with the previous report’s Vault of the Incarnates results, not another week of Aberrus.

Keep the population column’s meaning modest: it is the source’s reported sample, not a census of unique players or a measure of how many people were online.
Why Cross-Raid Movement Is Not a Buff Measurement
A different encounter mix can change an aggregate order. Bosses with adds, target downtime, short burst windows or different movement demands ask different things from a specialization. That makes a Vault-to-Aberrus arrow insufficient evidence for a universal class buff or nerf.
The table also gives position changes, not damage gaps. Moving twelve places does not mean twelve percent more damage. To investigate an actual tuning change, compare the dated patch notes and the same encounter, difficulty, metric and gear context.
How to Use This Archive When Reviewing an Old Log
Start with the boss and date of the log you are investigating. Then match the difficulty, Awakened status and damage metric. Overall damage and damage to bosses answer different questions, so changing that filter can change the conclusion.
Use the ranking as background for a specific log review. Deaths, missed cooldown windows, assignments and gear need their own evidence; an aggregate position does not diagnose an individual player’s mistake.
