⚔️ WoW Forever Dailywhat the class Discords worked out yesterday, every morning

From the logs

Last updated 2026-09-17. Pre-launch reading of the beta and the BlizzCon demo. Nothing is confirmed.
  • This page is generated from Warcraft Logs rankings, not from Discord opinion.
  • Source right now: TBC Anniversary, Black Temple / Hyjal (phase 3), the closest live Beacon-less healing model, until Warcraft Logs adds WoW Forever.
  • Holy: 1574 ranked players across 14 bosses; the most common split is 45/11/5 (1154 players, median 1.2k hps).
  • Retribution: 1664 ranked players across 14 bosses; the most common split is 5/11/45 (1493 players, median 2.5k dps).
  • Protection: 1619 ranked players across 14 bosses; the most common split is 0/43/18 (503 players, median 934 dps).
  • Splits come from the combat log’s talent summary, so they show points per tree, not every talent.
  • Rankings favor players with the best gear and raid support. Read “common” as “what works”, not “what is best”.

How this is built
  • For each boss, the top-ranked Paladins of each spec are pulled from the Warcraft Logs API with their combatant info (talent split and gear).
  • Players are deduplicated by name and server per boss, keeping the newest fetch.
  • Updated by the daily job whenever Warcraft Logs has zones configured in data/wcl/config.json.
