TBC Fresh Spec Info

This article outlines how Warcraft Logs determines specs for parses in Classic Fresh TBC.

Generally, specializations in TBC on Warcraft Logs are determined by which talent tree the character has the majority of talent points in. There is no information in the log file about which specific talents are taken.

There are a few additional specs supported beyond talent trees in-game. For TBC, this is Dreamstate Druid, Justicar Paladin, and Gladiator/Champion Warrior.

Hunter, Mage, Rogue, Priest, Shaman, and Warlock specializations only require the majority of talent points in their respective talent trees.

Tank Requirements

Default Requirements

• At least 10 seconds spent in your tank stance (Defensive Stance, Bear Form, Righteous Fury)
• Take the most melees from bosses, or at least 50% of that number (minimum 5)
  • For Warrior/Druid: Only melees taken while in Defensive Stance/Bear Form count for the requirement.
  • The "most melees" number counts all melees, not just those in stance.
• For Warrior/Druid: At least 90% of melees taken from bosses must be taken in Defensive Stance/Bear Form.
  • This only cares about your melees taken, not anyone else's.
• For Paladin: If you take the most melees from bosses, or at least 70% of that number (minimum 5), Righteous Fury detection is not required.
  • This is to work around issues with Righteous Fury logging.

We will also likely require individual boss overrides, and they will be noted here as they are implemented.
