    Looking at who's at the top of Skada/Recount in most top guilds streams/kills tells me you're wrong.
    Either that or all 4 Warlocks Method, Blood Legion uses are lucky every single time.

    Epeen Bot also has stats which DPS is needed to reach the 50th, 75th, 95th percentile for each spec+fight. Sounds like a good indicator of "who can do the most damage every single time, on average".

    etc.


    I also think that Warlock has a higher skillcap than Rogue or Mage for example. And very powerful utility for the raid and surviveability.

    i like how blizzard gave rogues the fuck off legendarys while warlocks get an netire expansion full of r1's and more fun because of the overhaul who's the least played class now also this expansion is the worst for most melee classes since everyone got casting while moving spell you just simply cant fill a raid with melee's and do fine it works with ranges tho thanks blizzard for class balance
    the ultimate answer's to all rogue issues :

    -Rogues might still be dealing with the changes to combo points {2014}

    Wot.

    Rogues being poop this entire expansion? That is pretty silly assumption. Problem is there have been a ton of multidot/cleave friendly fights this expansion, which benefits warlocks/range. Do rogue's have a flexible dps trees like warlocks? Not for most of the expansion, which I agree that stinks, since locks could run all three specs equally sans top tier raiding/simcraft.


    And MoP being the most melee unfriendly expansion ever? I got trolled.

    Warlocks are very, probably too strong currently.

    However, I hope all aware that the vast majority of top 200 parses are the epitome of cheesing. Which in this tier is VERY easy to achieve given the nature of most fights this tier.

    A 20k difference at the highest levels of play is too strong? Lets say blizz does take notice of all the QQ, we know what will happen. As a hunter main I have no particular desire to see Blizzard and their overnerfs smack warlocks for no reason.

    WoW's class balance is far more complicated than just pure DPS numbers in raids.
    For example. Demonic Gateways, healthstones, combat res, basic survival abilities of the class all in one is the main reason people think it's too much for one class.

    And by the way locks were a lot more deadlier DPS wise in the last tier than they are now so it's not warlocks being in their moment of glory so to speak. :P

    More people using World of Logs to compile data to show class balance especially with how buggy WoL has been this tier. People zerging flex modes with Aff warlocks who currently have the highest burst off the pull which falls off the longer the fight goes; add that to WoL counting flex parses as normal/heroic kills.

    Also, those graphs are horrible in a sense that they don't tell anything.

    Context is always useful.
    Riggnaros: Week 1, Warlocks were very strong, but then they nerfed them. Blood DK felt very weak and caused me to play the Monk all tier. Overall class balance was decent. We didn’t end up having to superstack the raid at any point like Spine or anything.

    Last thing I would want to add is just to thank everyone in the guild for their commitment and dedication towards pushing for these top kills. All in all it was an awesome expansion and I can’t wait to see what Blizz has in store next.

    Shinafae: I don’t think that there was any kill from which any one class was completely excluded. Like last tier, Warlocks and Rogues were very strong. I think that Mages were decidedly weaker this tier than they were in ToT in terms of pure DPS output, but they were not “terrible” by any means.

    As far as I know rogues have been the preferred melee and in general preferred physical DPS class this entire expansion.

    I dunno why people don't play rogues. It's pretty simple to play assassination and do very good damage with 4-5 buttons in grouped play. Maybe the solo QoL issues are just too much for people who have lives outside of raids.

    Presence seriously? people always unnecessarily follow trends set by world first guilds. 2 warlocks squeezed out 10k more dps than their mages during bleeding edge undergeared progression and a month later warlocks are OP and mages suck for the entire world, even though almost all affliction and demonology warlocks playing this game would probably put out bigger numbers if they put the same effort into a mage.

    I'm exaggerating of course, but this is getting old.

    I doubt the affli locks would.

    As a fire mage, I'd like to disagree and if you play Arcane instead of Frost/Fire on Thok, then you only have yourself to blame.

    This just in, warlocks are OP in Mists.

    No but seriously, anyone playing at remotely competitive level is probably aware of the warlock stardom this expansion.
