- Tanks: labeled T1-T7 based on the raid. T1-T3 are the main tanks (top three by damage taken); T4+ are off-tanks ranked by Taunt cast count. The 3 main tanks count as tanks for the warrior-equivalent math (0.5×); other DPS warriors count as 1.0×; other DPS classes count as 0.7×; healers (druid/paladin/priest) excluded.
- The 10 point goal: raid damage ÷ warrior equivalents × 1.3, plus a baseline of 584,500 soft damage (50 sunders + 2 kicks + 1 each disarm/demo/chal + 70k engineering). A 10 means top-tier damage AND meeting the baseline expectations — damage alone isn't enough.
- Sunder credit: only sunders cast while the target had < 5 stacks count. Per the detected raid (—): minimum 25 (below = zero credit, red), expectation 50 (below = orange but full credit), cap 100.
- Soft Points: Demo Shout, Disarm, Kicks, Challenging Shout — capped per the config. Engineering+ damage gets a 3× multiplier — includes Dense Dynamite, Goblin Sapper Charges, Oil of Immolation, Holy Water, and Dragonbreath Chili.
- Pummel/Shield Bash: only counts interrupts that actually stopped a cast. Drain Life on Gothik trash (low-priority) is excluded.
- TSA penalty: the top 3×(hunters in raid) warriors by TSA buff uptime get 150,000 damage subtracted, an estimate of TSA's value over a full raid. The TSA column shows ✓ for warriors classified as having received TSA — including tanks if a hunter actually buffed them.
- BT + Execute and Cleave columns are informational only — they don't contribute to PMS, but raid members like seeing them. Execute counts use damage hits (Execute cast events are unreliable in WCL data).
- DMF, Head Buff, and Deaths columns are informational. DMF and Head Buff show ✓ if the warrior had the buff and kept it, blank if they never had it, "Xm" if they lost the buff at minute X (matched to a death event for exact timing), or "~Xm" if approximate (no matching death — fight-end estimate). Color: red if lost in the first half of the raid, orange if second half. Once these world buffs are lost mid-raid, they're gone for the rest, so the timing tells the whole story.
- Gothik gate pulls (Naxx only): if any Plagued Ghoul takes damage during the Gothik encounter, the raid is doing gate pulls. Warriors who damage live-side mobs (Trainee/Deathknight/Rider) get a soft-damage bonus to compensate for the missed dead-side opportunities.
