Suggestion: Class Rankings

[Vux]

In reference to these pages:

http://www.worldoflogs.com/rankings/pla ... b-25Heroic
http://www.worldoflogs.com/rankings/pla ... s/25H/dps/
http://www.worldoflogs.com/zones/Crusad ... /#tabs-25H

But with a section that averages the top 10,000 players (or all??) for each fight, in how many there are of a class/spec, and their average dps. Like this:

1. Warlock - 1200 players in top 10,000 (or all??) for Heroic Northrend Beasts Kills. 7166 DPS average
   
   1. Destruction - 900, 7500 dps average
      
   2. Affliction - 200, 6500 dps average
      
   3. Demonology - 100, 5500 dps average
   
   
2. Warrior - 1000. 7000 DPS average
   
   1. Fury - 500, 6500 dps average
      
   2. Arms - 500, 7500 dps average
   
   
3. Mage - etc

Thoughts?

It would be quite nice to have but I don't think it's feasible to generate the averages from more people than there are currently logged for each spec (200). It would also be nice to list both min/max DPS for any spec for the fight so you won't have to scroll to last page to find out what it takes to be registered on meters

Well, for spec-by-spec 200 is better than 0

The overall class-by-class is the main goal anyway

I think it might be useful to factor in a history of kills too, that is, get a player's average DPS in a spec across several weeks of kills. To say that Player A, Mut rogue, is #1 because he does on average 9880dps on Deathwhisper across 4 or 5 kills might be very interesting.

Apologies for the huge inline images.

I am currently implementing such a feature manually for the benefit of my guild. Here is one of the tops I did back in October:



The arrows from the left represent rank changes compared to last week, the arrows from the right are dps changes compared to last week.

I am currently getting the data via a painful leeching process from WMO. I am extracting it from HTML, which makes every formatting change of their site a big pain in the behind.

I would love to be able to leech the same data from WoL but in a more reliable XML/JSON format.

(I am subsequently using the top data to compare our guild's members to it, such as here:)

[hoho]

Wow, WTB that feature by default!

[zooge]

wow, that's nice Pashaman. That's something that I am looking to do as well. How do you calculate the potential dps?

[Pashaman]

That's the value from the first table, which is just the median of the top20 WMO entries for that class.

I have to warn you that doing it manually is A LOT of work, I did not continue the effort into 3.3.

World of Logs devs? cough cough

+1 whoa

So, the most important request here is: a list of (boss x class x spec) -> dps of the #10 guy (~ median of 20). Yeah, that I can do, lemme hack it into the site.


I'm working on the real time indexing of rankings atm, but I'll give this another some more time later.
