With the "success" of the Ret Paladin movement, let's look at the single target balance for Manaforge Omega and see what specs could benefit from closing their Discord channels next. For this analysis, we will use data provided by Warcraft Logs Raid statistics for The War Within Season 3.

Specific Fights Rankings
Next let's look at two very single-target focused fights: Plexus Sentinel and Fractilus.

Plexus Sentinel
Looking first at Plexus Sentinel, we see a similar pattern to the overall damage to bosses rankings of the raid, but with slight changes. The biggest is Marksmanship Hunter, jumping to an isolated lead versus other specs, and Elemental Shamans trailing not far behind. On the other side of the charts, Outlaw continues to bottom the rankings, with Subtlety dropping to a close second-to-last.

Overall, the bottom half of the chart is somewhat balanced, up to Balance Druids, but the upper part ramps quickly, with Marksmanship being 12.5% ahead of the middle-of-the-pack Balance Druid, and 17.4% ahead of the lowest spec, Outlaw Rogue.

Fractilus
While Plexus is a fight that is mostly single target, Fractilus is the only pure single target fight of the raid. Note, however, due to being the 5th kill for most guilds, the sample pool here is heavily reduced from the one in Plexus. Plexus boasts 3371 kills versus 636 Fractilus kills at the moment of writing.

The biggest winner of Fractilus is Feral Druid, which leaps to the top together with Marksmanship due to its almost permanent uptime against the boss. Other specs, especially casters, see a drop in Fractilus, with Destruction dropping from almost tied for first place overall damage to bosses to 9th place.

At the bottom of the Fractilus charts, we have similar specs as before, with the bottom quartile being very similar between both bosses. Subtlety, Outlaw, Frost Mage, and Shadow Priest seem to be the worst specs for the fight, all being around 15% behind Marksmanship's lead in the encounter.
