What is the best DPS spec in WoW Forever?
Put together, the other WoW Forever simulators and creators rank Marksmanship Hunter, Survival Hunter and Fury Warrior highest at level 60 today. The ranking is checked every day.
Why does ForeverDB's own simulator disagree?
Since 13 November it uses the same fight as the others: a level 63 boss for 3 minutes with raid buffs and the raid's armour debuffs, in pre-raid gear. It now agrees with them about as well as they agree with each other, but it still rates the Rogues and Arms higher and Marksmanship, Destruction and Enhancement lower, and its numbers are lower than theirs. The average of all the sources is the safer guide.
Where do the numbers come from?
The simulated DPS comes from ForeverDB's DPS simulator, which uses every ability, talent and item from the WoW Forever client. Players' DPS and HPS by class come from boss pulls in combat logs players upload to ForeverDB.
How often is it updated?
Every day. A snapshot is kept each day, so the page shows what changed since yesterday, in the last week and in the last month.
Why is there no simulated HPS?
The simulator covers damage specs. Healing numbers come from players' combat logs, by class, once enough logs are in.
