Today, we are looking at the DPS balance on Amirdrassil during the week of April 16th. For this analysis, we will use data provided by Warcraft Logs Raid statistics for Dragonflight Season 3.
The data for this article was taken from the Raid Statistics Page on Warcraft Logs for Mythic difficulty during the week of April 16th. We will look at data for the 95th percentile and show the overall results to paint a better picture.
Disclaimers and Source
The idea of this article is to give a perspective of the current state of class balance for Dragonflight Season 3, meaning this is an incomplete picture of balance. We say perspective, as there are inherent biases in looking at the data this way. Specs considered underpowered are generally played less and tend to appear weaker than they are. This happens as many performance-oriented players tend to play the strongest spec or class, increasing the gap between top and bottom specs even further. Position of specs for the 95th percentile might be skewed by alternative strategies and parse funneling. We're including the chart showing all percentiles' results to paint a better picture for all specs.
