With Firelands launching in Cataclysm Classic on November 7th, players may have been wondering what special rules they need to be aware of when it comes to parsing on Warcraft Logs for Firelands.
Parsing is a very popular way of tracking player performance on Classic progression realms, and sometimes the rules need to be tweaked to ensure fairness, particularly for bosses that may have any damage-increasing gimmicks.
While these rules haven't been finalized yet, you can see the current plan below. Posted to the Warcraft Logs Discord by Warcraft Logs Team Member, Vel.
Firelands Parsing Rules Plans Shannox - Remove damage done to Crystal Prison. Remove damage done to Rageface and Riplimb on Heroic difficulty. Riplimb damage still counts for tanks.
Lord Rhyolith
- No rules, removed from Damage All-Star Points
Beth'tilac
- No rules, removed from Damage All-Star Points
Alysrazor
- Removed from Complete Raid DPS (Boss+Trash and Boss Fight DPS), and Damage All-Star Points.
Baleroc
Majordomo Staghelm
- Remove damage done to Spirit of the Flame (except for Tanks) on 25 man
Ragnaros
Other
- Using Alysrazor buffs on other bosses is not allowed (Blazing Power, Molten Feather)
We have opted not to normalize Majordomo before release, but we are open to partitioning down the line with potential Ragnaros changes (add exclusions etc) if necessary. Obviously raid hasn't released yet, so feedback still welcome — but this is the current outlined proposal. Thanks for all the feedback so far!
The conversation is ongoing, and you can join in at the Warcraft Logs Discord here!
