We’re back with the first week of data for patch 10.0.7 as we take a look at how the specs are doing in the Vault! We already took a peek last week and things have changed a little, but while Warlocks did get several fixes to tone them down a little, they’re still doing very well indeed, and we look in on Retribution after the revamp as well. Also important to remember, some specs are getting nerfs with this week’s reset, and you can check out all the tuning here.
Mythic
Overall Damage 95th Percentile
While Affliction did get removed from the No.1 spot it didn’t go too far, but this may be just a residual result of the two bugs that affected/helped the spec early in the week, so we’ll have to wait until next time to find out. What is clear is that Frost DK is far ahead (and is thus getting a 3% overall nerf this week), and the other Warlocks that only benefited from one bug are close by. Marksmanship finds itself in 4th without any bugs (that we know of), and Shadow has fallen from its throne down to 6. Subtlety is only two down from before the patch, while Devastation drops the farthest in the top 10, dropping 6 spots down to 8th. Arms is also down quite a bit, tying Shadow for that 2nd worst-off spot, 5 down in 9th, while Havoc rounds out the top 10 only having dropped 1! Retribution’s rework sees it getting just outside the top 10, passing Balance and Outlaw just today. As one DK spec makes it big, the other apparently must pay the price, with Unholy dropping down to the bottom 3 to join Assassination and Arcane.

Overall Damage All Percentiles
Affliction is still lingering at the top in the overall bracket, which may or may not be due to the bugs. However, Marksmanship is doing much better here, snagging the No.2 spot and sitting in a Warlock sandwich, as Subtletly only drops 2 spots into 4th. Frost DK finds itself a few spots down since the patch, but it’s doing fine compared to Shadow, which definitely wins the biggest fall prize, finding itself down in 6th after having reigned supreme for quite a while. We then have the spec of the hour as we see a pink trace up there in 7th, with the Retribution rework having done wonders (and unlike its PvP counterpart, it’s not getting nerfed! Arms is also down quite a bit, as Outlaw and Havoc close out the top 10, while Destruction is just outside, but as we mentioned before, we’ll have to check back with Warlocks next week to see the real picture. Unholy joins two Mage specs at the bottom, dropping 6 spots.

Heroic DPS
It’s all Affliction all the time in the lower difficulties, but we do see Hunters bring it as well, with beast Mastery joining Marksmanship in the top 3, and even Survival making it into the top 10! Assassination and Arcane fall down from their No.1 and 2 spots, but not that far, as they find themselves in 4th and 5th.

Normal DPS
The 3 Hunters in top 4 situation continues, but this time it’s Affliction joining them instead of Arms, and it’s taking over. The Hunters are all bunched up in spots 2 to 4, and we see a GIANT move from Retribution after the revamp, rising a massive 16 spots right into 5th!
