Firelands Parsing Rules

This article goes through the various rules, banned items, and the adds excluded from bosses in Firelands on Warcraft Logs rankings.

If you have any suggestions or questions, please join us on Discord to discuss.

Boss Changes

This should outline all the boss changes. Please also join us on Discord to suggest updates. This first draft attempts fewer restrictions at the start, and we will consider a later partition with changes if necessary.

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.

Beth'tilac

No rules.

Alysrazor

Removed from Complete Raid DPS (Boss+Trash and Boss Fight DPS), and Damage and Healing All Stars.

Baleroc

No rules.

Majordomo Staghelm

Remove damage done to Spirit of the Flame (except for Tanks) on 25 man.

Ragnaros

No rules.

Complete Raid

Complete Raid on Warcraft Logs means doing the full raid in one go. This has a clear starting point and end point.

Doing a Complete Raid rewards you with Complete Raid parses. This includes Speed parses for Guilds and Boss Fight DPS parses for personal parses.

Boss Fight DPS

This is the parse for all boss encounter DPS combined, only counting kills. This requires you to do the full raid in one raid day.

Boss and Trash DPS

This is the DPS parse for all boss + trash encounters combined, counting everything. This requires you to do the full raid in one raid day. Everything (unless explicitly said so above) is included for overall boss/trash, even excluded adds, and downtime is not factored in.

Buffs

Molten Feather / Blazing Power

Using Alysrazor buffs on non-Alysrazor bosses is not allowed.

Power Infusion / Unholy Frenzy

On Retail, we've added an Externals Cap. This is also implemented for Power Infusion on Classic.

This means you can only get Power Infusion from the equivalent of one priest. The number of externals received cannot exceed the number that could be given to one individual by one player. However, you may receive each buff from more than one player, so long as the number of buffs you receive remains under the cap.

Unholy Frenzy is limited to ONLY self-casts.

Any parses that break these restrictions will not be ranked.

Thorns

We attribute Thorns damage back to the casting druid.

Tricks of the Trade

Tricks of the Trade is still attributed to an NPC, as we did in WotLK.

World Buffs

A majority of world buffs, such as:

• Arcane Focus
• Zeal
• Might of Malygos
• Fury of Ragnaros
• Flame of the Seer
• Arcane Might
• Dark Whispers
• Blessing of Blackfathom
• Soul Revival
• Elune's Blessing
• Bloodgem Infusion

and more are banned.

Battle Squawk / Battle Chicken

Battle Squawk from Battle Chicken is banned. This buff will invalidate your boss parse and complete raid parse.

Fishliver Oil, Light of Elune, and More

We will be stricter on one-time use items such as Fishliver Oil and other quest items. These items are banned for parsing, but they are fine to use for progress guild ranks.

Life Tap

Excessively using Life Tap to pad healing parses will invalidate your kill.

Other

Abusing Pyromaniac uptime will invalidate your log.
