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.

Why are mages split into their 3 specs but locks all lumped into one.Comment by Voren995So warriors and rogues are top now, top at 60 too, scale the hardest with good gear, maybe buff them a bit more so at least we all play those and forget about the rest of the classes. I won't include hunters because they got nerfed into the ground recently lol. If there would be true balance as they promised that chart would show all specs performing at pretty much the same lv but they don't.Comment by EndormiGive priest and one other mana caster a vampiric touch badda boomComment by cLax0nWe know these numbers are before tuning changes. It may be obvious to many of us but it isnt to a lot. The author of this post should have made a comment about it in the article.Comment by Navsurfer9This is just wrong, look at Warcraft logs and you'll see the top 4 being warriors, who puts this together? Even if you want to say it's an average they should at least show that the top end is dominated by warriorsComment by kyuubi75This is just wrong, look at Warcraft logs and you'll see the top 4 being warriors, who puts this together?

Sure, it's fun, but no reason to get all bent out of shape just yet. It's barely P1. You need to look at the entire picture before making these claims, and you are most likely blissfully unaware if you don't think they are not already testing future runes in different situations already.

There are a ton of runes yet to be implemented. Blizzard admitted the cutting runes already that were supposed to be in later phases. Also, blizzard balances around the average, not the extremes. The exceptions don't make the rule, as they are around 1 or 2% of the population. Plus, is that not everything is balanced the beauty of classic/vanilla WoW? I swear, some people just love to complain about anything they can instead of be grateful and appreciative of how far the game has come.Comment by SithLordMilkDo they not know that Marksmanship and Beast Mastery are different specs?Comment by SavageZombSo warriors and rogues are top now, top at 60 too, scale the hardest with good gear, maybe buff them a bit more so at least we all play those and forget about the rest of the classes.
