    DH's kit doesn't have anything to "Deprune" in Shadowlands. Maybe consider actually adding things to flesh out DH just a bit more.

    Hey everyone! I'm the guy that got really excited he could tame a Devilsaur. Well, I got mildly burned out on Beast Master for now, but Survival has been fun. I finally broke 110 and I'm having a ball. Loving the cinematic-like quests. Thanks for all of the positive responses! (I am still guildless)

    Babylonius's Class/Spec Strength Data

    Posted: 13 Apr 2020 05:09 PM PDT

    Inspired by the recent post of the aggregated data from WCL by /u/Intricate08, I figured I'd take the time to post what I've been working on and collecting for the past few years. I've been tracking data on how strong specs and classes are compared to each other using WCL for years, getting statistics from that data and making easy to read charts.

    As someone who's done a lot of work centered around Windwalkers for the past many years, I have spent a lot of time either agreeing or disagreeing with the people who just post that a spec is OP or garbage without any real numbers to back it up. When I do that I want to make sure that I have the best information possible, and I believe that comes with knowing how far above or below a spec is from the average. Combined with the standard deviation, this gives a good idea of what the "average range" is, which is generally something that Blizzard is likely looking at when looking at class balance.

    Instead of looking at relative ranking, I've been tracking specs on a weekly or bi-weekly basis since the beginning of Legion, or at least as much as I can remember. I don't feel that whether a spec is 1st or 2nd matters as much as if one spec is 10% better than another.

    Here's an example of the data from the last two weeks of Nyalotha: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/12gj0pq1PvC8AVfnJQkcjbMTdahP4wkImVEYFuwdcL_8/edit?usp=sharing

    And the two weeks before that: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1txPVIEyxj9goAVaG8WqjBOFvGINJ65OGQvsRAZCP1kY/edit?usp=sharing

    I have data like that going back all of Nyalotha and for the majority of weeks going back several years. Its just something I've gotten in the habit of doing on a Monday night.

    To build off that, I've been taking the weekly data and aggregating it for each raid tier.

    Here's Nyalotha so far:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/128TUBILDBL7nIF_6Ew2ZffBtRKgZmDwTskkKf08oPis/edit?usp=sharing

    Here's Eternal Palace:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1_H0vyZGhoLTRvyaqmGrXqYCWzC52FhIIQPrIUJvpnvA/edit?usp=sharing

    Finally, I have also been tracking things based on each patch and tier, which is what I have to compare to the other post. I put together the Analysis tab, and I hate it, but its closer to a comparison to the other post just for comparison's sake:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1W6Srxei3MQCPMD_p4pUdq5i0Hy3pu2BD7iHAopg_eek/edit?usp=sharing

    Additionally, one of my guild members, Kojiyama looked at individual bosses throughout BfA to see how far above and below the median each spec was in order to form a better look at the aggregate data for this expansion compared to the general DPS that I looked at. He says:

    This chart shows the relative performance of each spec based on how it does compared to the median on each individual encounter at 90th percentile. This lets us calculate both the average 'peak' performance across all encounters as well as the total number of 'average', 'good', and 'bad' fights for that spec. Values of +/- 5% from the median were chosen as the 'good' and 'bad' thresholds.

    The class groupings chart is calculated the same way but only considers the performance of the best spec on each individual encounter, provided that the specs are the same role. Since ranged and melee players rarely swap, Druids, Shaman, and Hunters were grouped into Melee vs. Ranged.

    Bonus: I have been tracking population data as well, its not quite as pretty and there may be something slightly off:https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1U0Iw951Kf3L5Ly2zYBzNkG9ZcbreGWVOetevE3F4b2k/edit?usp=sharing
