Wipefest in Classic Fresh Anniversary

This is the first time that Wipefest has added support for a Classic Fresh raid, and we'd love any feedback on how helpful it is and any possible improvements. We've done our best to adapt Wipefest to the needs of this different era of raiding, including making sure we track world buffs, multiple tier sets at once, and even first aid bandages!

Let's dig into some examples of what mechanics Wipefest can automatically analyze for you in AQ40! Make sure to check every boss in your own reports for your needs, as below are just some examples of the analysis Wipefest provides for your raid.

All Bosses

Some insights that Wipefest provides are available on all bosses. For example, this ready check insight gives an overview of enchants, gear, and world buffs to help spot any missing gaps. Note that food and flasks are not included here because the logging for them is inaccurate.

You can also get an overview of combat and mana potions...

... as well as healing potions, healthstones, and bandages!

Wipefest tracks interrupts for enemy casts, so you can quickly see how many casts have been missed and who has been interrupting.

It also tracks various types of avoidable damage, with the simplest being damage that everyone should try to avoid.

Sometimes looking at unfiltered damage taken isn't enough. For example, some tank mechanics will always hit the tank but will also hit nearby players. Wipefest excludes tanks from showing up in insights like this.

Wipefest also tracks stacking debuffs to help you see which players are gaining stacks and when. This can be helpful for checking that tank swap mechanics are being handled well.

Sometimes you need to look at specific events (such as, in this case, enemy casts) to see how well a mechanic was handled. Wipefest makes sure to surface events like this in easy-to-read insights.

Wipefest also aims to describe the mechanical performance in a way that indicates how you can improve. For example here the raid should try to tank the bosses further apart so that they don't heal each other so much.

Wipefest can also track how long it takes to kill certain adds. Also note the purple 85 to the left of the insight description in the screenshot below. This is a percentile for how well the raid performed on this mechanic. In this case, it means that the raid killed these Flesh Tentacles faster than 85% of other raid groups. This can help to give you context into whether a mechanic is being performed well enough or not.

New Feature: Ignore Events After a Wipe Has Been Called

Wipefest has always supported letting you ignore events after 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5 deaths to help you hone in on what happened before a wipe was called. However, now you can use a more accurate "Ignore events after wipe called" option that integrates with the Warcraft Logs Uploader "Call Wipe" hotkey. If the logging player uses this hotkey while playing, you can tell Wipefest to ignore all events that happened afterwards.

Regardless of whether the threshold is enabled, a "Wipe Called" title event will show in the timeline to indicate when the logging player called a wipe.

Wrapping Up

This is just a taste of some of the mechanical analysis that Wipefest has to offer, alongside other features such as player scores, event timelines, guides, and multi-pull analysis.

If you get stuck, we have an article of frequently asked questions, as well as a Discord server where you can discuss with other Wipefest users.
