#zixxqd - Log Review

Hey hey. Got a few heroic raid fights in this log if anyone who knows more than me thinks that a particular fight is more valuable to look at than others. My Rogue is Zixxqd of course. Any and all tips are appreciated! I feel like my opener isn't doing the damage I expect, and also I must be doing something wrong with the rotation.

Hey,
First, I assume your already know that but your gear is very bad. Try to get better ilvl and get rid of this haste ring asap. Same for globe trinket. I see you can afford crafted gear, might as well craft it in 447ilvl too.
When it comes to rotation, I can see already pretty obvious mistakes, i'm gonna explain but I really suggest you fully read #subtlety-faq cause all im gonna do is repeat what is already well explained in this channel.
From a quick look :
- You have wasting CP every dance by casting premeditation shadowstrike first dance gcd while playing The First Dance.
like faq says, the TFD dance rotation is :
Dance + gloomblade > Evis > shadowstrike > sectec > vanish + shadowstrike > evis - You use tea every time during dance, as you should not. Tea in single target should be only used when you're out of energy (unless capped at 3 charges like in opener). So your second tea cast of a single target fight with bloodlust at the start usually comes around the 50sec timer in the fight. You're currently using tea coupled with dance with is a full loss on energy it provides (you only do that in aoe, but tea has low value in aoe anyway)
- You dont wan't to refresh rupture / slice and dice during dance ever.
- You wanna make sure you're not losing any gcd cast during your dance (6gcd during 6sec dance)
Like in this example :
- you only casted 5 spells in ur dance
- you casted snd during dance
- you did not do the gloomblade tricks to save combo points explained above
- you did not use sectec in your dance (always cast it 2nd finisher during dance)
-you used tea during dance

ty, reading it over now. I had read the guide before swapping to TFD and didn't even think about how big of a change that was. Gonna read through the rest of this and the faq again also. I really appreciate it

For sure. I'll make sure I can't get anything out of the faq before I ask anything else. Thanks 🙂
