New Alchemist Early Access Feature!

Hi Alchemists! We have a new early access feature for you, this time on Archon.gg! Note: This is currently only for World of Warcraft.

Hi Alchemists!

We have a new early access feature for you, this time on Archon.gg!

Note: This is currently only for World of Warcraft, however we would love to expand to the other games.

Archon Throughput Section

The new Throughput section for specs shows average damage done / healing / damage taken breakdowns (based on role) for each raid boss and mythic+ dungeon. The breakdowns are based on the top 25 parses within the last 2 weeks, and are updated daily.

The idea is that these allow users to compare their own ability usage with top ranks to help them see where the gaps are. Some columns that might be useful to compare per ability are:

- Total % of damage

- CPM (casts per minute)

- Average amount per cast

- Uptime

We'd love to get some feedback while we fix any remaining bugs. This isn't secret, so feel free to show your guildies or talk about it on social media.

How to Access

To get access to the feature, sign in to archon.gg with your alchemist account. If you are already signed in, you may need to sign out and in for your session to pick up the feature flag. You can confirm you have access by navigating to https://www.archon.gg/account and seeing that you have the "Meta Builds Throughput Preview" feature in the "Benefits" section.

Feedback

Some questions we have currently are:

- Would it make sense to use ranks 11-35 as the sample (instead of 1-25) to reduce the impact of logs with padding?

- If there was one particularly useful filter per boss/dungeon that you'd like us to add, what would it be? For example, damage while the bosses have damage taken debuffs on Silken Court? Damage done to the intermission shield on Ansurek?

- Is there a single particularly useful filter per spec that you'd like us to add? For example, damage during Dragonrage for Devastation Evokers?

This feature is supported for Retail, Cata, and SoD! Here are some examples:

Retail DPS: Devastation Evoker on Mythic Queen Ansurek

Cata Healer: Resto Druid on Heroic Ragnaros 25 man

SoD Tank: Protection Paladin on Hardmode C'thun 20 man

The currently known issues are:

- Sometimes, while navigating, the page may incorrectly say that no throughput data is available. Refreshing the page should fix this.

- Stagger is not correctly accounted for in Brewmaster damage taken tables.

Upcoming Meters Feature

If you are with us as an FF Alchemist, we're also excited to say our 'Race the Ghost' feature on the Meters is coming along great! This will allow you to compete with historical pulls in real time, so you can see if you're ahead or behind your previous best. Have a sneak peek picture from our refinement here.
