Phase 1 of Burning Crusade Classic has come to an end and raids have completed numerous clears of Karazhan, Gruul's Lair, and Magtheridon's Lair. Today, we will breakdown the DPS Rankings from Warcraft Logs for Tier 4 of Burning Crusade Classic.
We've seen some significant movement in the rankings compared to the first two weeks of the tier where the best DPS in TBC were undoubtedly Beast Mastery
猎人
s and Destruction
术士
s. Now we have Arcane
法师
s bringing some big damage, and Fury
战士
s showing us they are still a force to be reckoned with. For this analysis we have used data from
Warcraft Logs Statistics
pages for Karazhan, Gruul's Lair, and Magtheridon's Lair accessed on 9/14/2021.
Warcraft Logs Karazhan Statistics PageWarcraft Logs Magtheridon & Gruul Statistics Page
Disclaimers and Sources
The data in this article is taken from the
Warcraft Logs Karazhan Statistics Page
for the 95th percentile and
Warcraft Logs Gruul & Magtheridon Statistics Page
for the 95th percentile. There are a few things to take into consideration before we delve into the data:
Talent specializations that are believed to be weaker are generally played less, which causes them to appear slightly weaker than they actually are.
Performance-oriented players tend to choose the classes and talent specializations that are believed to be the best. This further increases the gap between the top and bottom talent specializations.
Considering only the 95th percentile means we are only looking at the top 5% of the representatives of each class and specialization - 19 out of 20 players will not perform at this level. This is done to filter out the people who enjoy the game without fully maximizing their character's effectiveness in raids. That is a totally okay thing to do, but not what we are interested in here.
We are looking at only boss damage. Classes with strong multi-target damage abilities will move up in the rankings when considering overall boss and trash damage throughout a raid.
Most of the absolute top parses involve a raid that rotates
萨满祭司
s into a particular group to give multiple casts of
英勇
or
嗜血
in the same fight to certain players. It is very difficult to compete with those parses if you are not in a similar situation. A weaker class with that treatment would very likely outperform a stronger class without that treatment.
Magtheridon's Lair and Gruul's Lair
Joining the
猎人
s and
术士
s at the top from the first few weeks we have Arcane
法师
s and Fury
战士
s. As everyone's equipment and familiarity with the fights improves, kill times are reduced. This means the main limiting factor of an Arcane
法师
- their mana pool - is less of a restriction and they are able to blast quite a bit of damage. As expected, Fury
战士
s scale extremely well with equipment and have moved up in the rankings as well. They have a very nice feedback loop where dealing more damage means generating more rage means dealing more damage, so of course they will scale up nicely with improved equipment.
We see most of the "support" DPS roles with fairly similar damage output. Elemental and Enhancement
萨满祭司
s, Affliction
术士
s, Combat
潜行者
s, Retribution
圣骑士
s, Shadow
牧师
s, and Feral and Balance
德鲁伊
s don't provide top tier individual damage output, but they all provide valuable buffs to a raid to increase everyone else's damage output.
Arms
战士
s and Survival
猎人
s are bridging the gap between the top individual DPS classes and the support DPS roles, not quite up there with the top pumpers but noticeably ahead of the other support DPS. Some Arms
战士
s have started using a dual-wielding hybrid Arms & Fury talent specialization known as the "kebab spec". The kebab warriors still provide the
血性狂乱
debuff while gaining valuable individual DPS talents in the Fury tree.
Karazhan
With even shorter duration boss fights in Karazhan compared to Magtheridon's Lair and Gruul's Lair, we see Arcane
法师
s completely eclipse the competition and it is not even close. There is no question that Arcane
法师
s are the dominant class for damage on short encounters. A good number of multi-target fights like
特雷斯坦·邪蹄
,
猎手阿图门
,
莫罗斯
, and a few more allow classes like
战士
, Fire
法师
s, and Elemental
萨满祭司
to push higher than they would in the other raids due to their strong multi-target abilities.
Highlights
Some guilds and players have achieved some incredible feats in this first phase of Burning Crusade raiding. In this section you can see some highlights from Gruul, Magtheridon, and Karazhan raids.
High King Maulgar
The Russian guild <Эксодус> (translated: "Exodus") on the server Пламегор (EU) achieved a record-setting fastest kill of
莫加尔大王
way back on July 31st. More recently their record has been tied but not beaten by six other guilds, <Next Week For Sure> from Fairbanks (US), <Ace> from 匕首岭 (CN), <PvE is Hard> from 火锤 (CN), <圣域> from 安娜丝塔丽 (CN), <Trinity> from 碧玉矿洞 (CN), and finally <听香水榭> from 布鲁 (CN) who put up the highest raid DPS while still remaining at a 9 second kill, with 86,134 total raid DPS.
Some of you might be scratching your head wondering, "
how that is even possible?
" In Blizzard's own code, the
莫加尔大王
encounter officially ends when
莫加尔大王
dies - the other ogres can be left alive and you can still progress to
屠龙者格鲁尔
. Эксодус chose to forget about regular group structure and brought a team of essentially all damage dealers. Эксодус stacked up 11 Arcane
法师
s supported by 4 Elemental
萨满祭司
s and a few others to create the bulk of their damage.
This Warcraft Logs report
shows their amazing achievement with a crazy 83,888 total raid DPS during the kill.
Gruul the Dragonkiller
The top ranking DPS parses for
屠龙者格鲁尔
are taken up almost entirely by Beast Mastery
猎人
s and a few Destruction
术士
s. The top 100 DPS values range from 2,257 DPS at the 100th ranked parse, all the way up to 2,577 for the top ranked parse. That very top ranking is not a Beast Mastery
猎人
or even a Destruction
术士
though, it is a Fury
战士
by the name of Ahlaundoh from the guild <bipolar> on Herod US server. It is pretty exceptional because not only is Ahlaundoh the top DPS on
屠龙者格鲁尔
, they are the only Fury
战士
in the entire top 100 rankings!

Magtheridon
Typically, the control cubes in the
玛瑟里顿
encounter are used to prevent the boss from casting
冲击新星
and wiping the raid. It did not take long for players to realize that use of the control cubes also
doubled
玛瑟里顿
's damage taken via the
暗影牢笼
debuff that is applied to him when all five cubes are activated at once. Many high performance guilds began using the cubes as a damage boost, with the hope that they would kill the boss before they would need them to prevent a
冲击新星
.
This Warcraft Logs report
shows the world-record speed kill of Magtheridon by the Chinese guild <听香水榭> (translated: "Listen to perfume pavilion") from the server 布鲁 (CN) in an astonishing 2 minutes 1 second. For this kill,
暗影牢笼
is applied 5 times in a row back to back while the other 20 players in the raid pump out as much damage as possible. They brought only 2 dedicated healers to this boss that many teams take 4 or 5 healers for, and many of their players scored 100 parses for this amazing kill!
Karazhan
术士
s can use
奴役恶魔
on a
恐怖兽
from the Servant's Quarters in
卡拉赞
. This demon will deal a huge amount of damage and while it does not count directly to the
术士
's individual damage total, it certainly speeds up boss kills. Check out
This Warcraft Logs Report
from Herod US server where the raid brought a
恐怖兽
to
贞节圣女
,
莫罗斯
, and
猎手阿图门
. Here is the damage meter for
贞节圣女
where the
恐怖兽
is the 2nd highest individual damage source in the whole raid!
虚空幽龙
in
卡拉赞
can be positioned so that one player can occupy two different power beams at the same time. For
潜行者
s, this is incredibly valuable as both beams provide damage increase.
This Warcraft Logs report
has the rogue Jozh from <New Horizons> on Arugal US occupying both the Serenity (Green) and Dominance (Blue) beams on
虚空幽龙
and putting out an absurd 5,465 DPS.
