#Super Nerd DJ - Log Review

I'm performing really poorly again. I'd tried a few different builds and then kept to single target KiR since tanks were threatening to kick based on DPS and we weren't consistently getting into the add phase

Is there a specific try you want to be reviewed?
Also are you in a rush to get it reviewed?
fiery elk
not a rush, no.. I got benched and I figured this was the best course of action for the night
and I don't have a specific attempt I care to have looked at..

OK ima finish work and review it in 9hrs or so.
atomic kraken
and I don't have a specific attempt I care to have looked at..
Pick 3, can't review all of them.
fiery elk
I appreciate it, thank you

Now that I think about your username, it's familiar lol. Reviewed your log 3 weeks ago
fiery elk
Yep 😛

First thing I noticed is you take shadow dance and you have dreadblades with Count the Odds, but you're not using Shadow Dance before Dreadblades at all
When you take the talent count the odds your chance to roll additional buffs increase in stealth when ambushing/dispatching, and by using shadow dance you would gain the bonus chance
You're essentially halving your chance to get additional buffs - it's pretty likely with full SD + DB you'd have a 6 buff to instantly use Keep it Rolling on
So that's gimping you from the start
Also, there are plenty of add phases during Raz and you're playing without precise cuts and the dancing steel talent - this makes it way harder to do effective aoe during the add phases
If you're worried about being sat, this is the easiest place for you to improve your dps in
fiery elk
I was honestly worried they'd kick during some phase 1 wipe, which we had plenty of, but that makes sense
haughty violet
fixing the SD - DB part should help you tremendously in p1 as well, having those buffs into immediate KIR will lower the CD on KIR which means you can cast more over the course of the fight too

I don't really remember how many adds there is on hc, but on mythic precise cut is basically useless, intermission packs are 8/9 targets and every adds die roughly at the same time
I think this is also true on hc iirc
atomic kraken
ok so reviewing now
point to note. for a hc raid your ilv is pretty low, esp if its a guild run. why not gear more now that valor is uncapped? you've upped only 9ilvs on average since the last review
ilv is going to account for a lot of raw damage
? doesn't look right. don't recall casting DB fills CP to full
RTB and SnD uptime needs a lot of work. both are under 90%
errant panther
db cast does fill cp to full
atomic kraken
db cast does fill cp to full
aight lemme strike that out
vanish into SS? not ambush?
ambush, dance, ambush? no finisher?
empty GCD's
blade flurry before db. you waste 1 DB GCD on BF here
this sequence where 1 cast per 2 GCD happens very frequently. is it a lag, decision making or other issue?
wasted CPs as ADR gives full CP
not sure if DB fell off by 2nd last SS of the sequence. if it did, wasted CPs
again vanish into SS
fiery elk
The vanish into SS must be a latency thing, I have ambush on the same key as SS and I tend to use that instead of the extra ambush I put on a different bar
atomic kraken

fix that in your mind asap. thats really hurting you as a lot of the damage comes from builders
specifically ambush
fiery elk
I think the empty gcds are from me being energy starved, which I recall happening a few times, but I'm not sure
atomic kraken
So a couple of things come to mind as I read the logs and base off what I saw the last review and I have a few questions
Whats your playtime like, and did you go into the HC raid cold (meaning no playtime that day before the raid)
fiery elk
Yeah, I get home from work and immediately get invited to raid basically
atomic kraken
So just off the fight(s)
- snd and rtb uptime looks very off. KIR usage as well is??
- vanish into ambush usage
- not taking the dancing steel talent for 8 target cleave is also gimping your damage
- empty GCDs and energy planning, this needs to be planned out better
fiery elk
On off days I try to at least get one Mythic+ in

when did you switch to KIR btw?

so this explains part of the unfamiliarity.
imo if you're concerned about better DPS, I would swop back to HO/CTO build and play well with that. Take the 8target cleave.
I would say for HC you're pretty undergeared, and the feint use needs to be much better to deal with the AOE damage.
fiery elk
Is KiR a wasted effort? I much prefer that more "legion-y" play style than the heavy proc based HO
