Warning

These benchmarks are built with wowsims which is currently still in alpha with bug fixes and updates coming daily.

Beyond that, there are a number of issues with using simulation rankings to guide your decisions:

  • Simulation Bias: Certain specs are favoured in stationary, target dummy scenarios, e.g., Arcane & Boomkin
  • Fight Length Impact: In a 5:00 encounter, a 3:00 burst spec will be unfavoured compared to a 3:30 fight
  • Incomplete APLs/spec implementation: Not all specs have been optimized for every type of encounters (short duration, high target count)

Simulation rankings, such as these, should never be used as anything more than a novelty/something interesting to look at.
