The information for this article came from the Sanctum of Domination Statistics Page on Warcraft Logs, which was part of the Shadowlands Patch 9.1.5 split for Mythic difficulty during the patch’s release week. This time, we’ll look at statistics from the 95th percentile as well as the overall findings to get a more complete view.

The purpose of this article is to provide an overview of the current state of class balance for Sanctum of Domination in Shadowlands Season 2, based on statistics from the most recent raid week.

We mention viewpoint because there are inherent biases in this approach of looking at data.

• Specs that are deemed underpowered are played less often and look to be weaker than they are.
• This occurs because many performance-oriented players will choose the strongest spec or class, widening the gap between top and bottom specifications even further.
• Alternative techniques like parsing funneling may affect the position of specifications for the 95th percentile. To help create a clearer picture for all specifications, we’ve included a graphic that shows the results for all percentiles.

Patch 9.1.5 Release Week Spec Analysis

We’ve asked our Rogue of Subtlety and Assassination Rogue authors to assist contextualize their spec’s place in statistics with the new Patch for this week’s Sanctum of Domination.

Subtlety Rogue

Author Information

Hello, my name is Fuu. Since Legion, I’ve been a Rogue Theorycrafter with a concentration on Subtlety. I’m also a moderator on the Rogue Discord, where you can typically find me chatting about rotations, tactics, or hypotheses to better the simulation. If you want to talk about rogue, you can find me on Discord as #fuu7750.

With a lot of single target heavy engagements, the Sanctum of Domination raid design fits nicely with Subtlety Rogue’s expertise. Due to the powerful covenant specific legendary items (Obedience and Resounding Clarity) released this tier, Subtlety manages to be one of the greatest single target damage dealers. Edge of Night, a Rogue-specific weapon, boosts single-target output even more, since it benefits from the spec’s general high Combo Point production, is boosted by Deeper Daggers, and works well with Echoing Reprimand. On encounters like Guardian of the First Ones and Sylvanas Windrunner, pure single target output is quite good, but it’s not the only thing the spec has to offer. Due to its short cooldown cycles, the specialty can funnel greater single target damage on engagements with adds like Soulrender Dormazain and is a suitable option to burn down priority targets or for the Phylactery Realm on Kel’Thuzad.

Cloak of Shadows, which can be used to actively dampen raid damage from spells like Wailing Arrow, soak mechanisms like Merciless/Obliterate, or eliminate specific mechanics like Call of Eternity, gives Subtlety Rogue a significant amount of resilience. Feint has a lot of power, especially when paired with Elusiveness and Cheat Death, and it may save your life if you make a mistake. When using the Blood Domination set, the passive healing given by Shard of Jas and Shard of Jas is also quite powerful.

Sprint and Shadowstep’s mobility may be particularly useful in a variety of encounters, such as Eye of the Jailer, Remnant of Ner’zhul, or Sylvanas Windrunner, to increase dps uptime or escape mechanics.

When it comes to flaws, Rogue still lacks any type of raid usefulness, making it very dependant on tuning. In two and three target cleave circumstances, subtlety performs very badly. There are various death talent options in the speciality that may be enhanced or modified.

Patch 9.1.5 doesn’t alter anything fundamentally, but it does allow for more dynamic between our two greatest covenant options, Venthyr and Kyrian. On pure single target engagements, Kyrian takes the lead in terms of dps, particularly when coupled with Edge of Night due to its interaction with Echoing Reprimand. Venthyr is a good choice for fights that benefit from Flagellation’s long cooldown in conjunction with Obedience, and he has somewhat stronger funnel damage. In principle, Necrolord is excellent in multi-target cleave circumstances, however other Rogue specialties are superior in certain situations. Night Fae’s covenant-specific legendary Toxic Onslaught received a considerable boost, resulting in a 2% damage increase overall, but still leaving it 3-4 percent behind.

This implies that the major focus of 9.1.5 will be on a more accurate depiction of the Kyrian covenant. Subtlety will remain in the same spot on the dps chart, despite the fact that it isn’t a popular option since it doesn’t gain as much from dps cooldowns like Power Infusion, Blessing of the Seasons, or Kindred Affinity, which become more significant as the tier progresses.

Assassination Rogue

Author Information My name is Whispyr, and I’m the author of the Assassination Rogue Guide. On Area-52, I’m a member of a Mythic raiding guild, and I often play Mythic+ with my buddies. I spend the most of my time assisting all sorts of Rogues, from newcomers to those searching for a competitive edge, as well as assisting with theorycrafting and technical concerns. I also contribute to both Assassination and Subtlety Rogue Simulationcraft. You may contact me in the Ravenholdt discord if you have any questions! I also broadcast on Twitch on a regular basis (whispyrttv). If you have any one-on-one inquiries, feel free to approach me personally on Discord.

In terms of Assassination, 9.1.5 did not offer any modification. Our AoE was uncapped (Fan of Knives and Crimson Tempest now do decreased damage beyond 8 targets), but we weren’t brought in for AoE damage in the first place. The improvements to Night Fae, which is still lackluster and will not see much play, are the other major changes. Although we haven’t seen much Necrolord use yet, there is an argument to be made that it can be superior in certain situations, just from a parsing standpoint. The Venthyr meta, on the other hand, does not seem to be changing anytime soon, since it continues to grab the bulk of logs.

There is, however, a silver lining! We still have the benefit of having a top-tier single-target specialty, capable of doing boss damage on par with feral druids. Venthyr continues to see a lot of play, especially with the Frost set bonus Winds of Winter and Dashing Scoundrel. On a 2-minute cooldown, this provides a nice single burst. For particular timings, Venthyr’s legendary Obedience has also shown to be a viable choice. Kel’Thuzad is a good example of this, since he allows a cast of Flagellation every minute, thereby eliminating any Phylactery cooldown holding. Assassination is a powerful advancement spec that can manage soaks with Cloak of Shadows, tank a lot of damage with Feint and the copious absorbs from Winds of Winter, and still do a lot of boss damage regardless of the encounter.
