i am not sure if wcl just does not show it
what gear piece is your toxic patch on?
for consumables, corrupting potion is stronger than tepid vers
so if you want some free dps, its a easy upgrade

what gear piece is your toxic patch on?
its on wrist
bright forum
ah perfect
for the opener, you can use a storm here
it would guarantee find weakness
it is also not very good to use dance off gcd like this, even tho i assume you didn't lose a cast in dance.
It can happen
your 2nd dance is slightly delayed, it shouldn't be this late
tea is also used inefficiently
patent cloud
Yeah tea only for mastery when at 3 charges... I somehow forget that
bright forum
you only use it for the buff in the first dance, after that usually just for energy
if you have very short killtimes
you might need to think about using it more agressive
patent cloud
Yeah but usually its only in the first dance... I get it
but what i dont seem to understand is the dont use dance off gcd
bright forum
you kind of repeated this every dance so far in the log
patent cloud
because english is not my main language not because u are explaining badly ahah
bright forum
but what i dont seem to understand is the dont use dance off gcd
okay lets explain
dance lasts 8 seconds
or well 6 without the 2 sec node
so you can fit in 6 globals into it
each ability causes a 1 sec gcd so you have a bit of wiggle room to delay spells
if you use the first ability the same time you use dance, you have close to 1 second to use your last ability
assuming you cast every ability back to back without delay
patent cloud
so to ensure all 6 spells while sd we dont cast both spell and sd at the same time because later in the sd we will lack that precious second
i get it now
so that and thristle tea usage
and better potion
bright forum
so assume you are not always hitting it immidiatly
you suddenly remove the blue bar from on time
but thats not bad, you see you would stil be able to hit it
bright forum
if you use dance before the gcd is over, you introduce wait times before you can use the first spell
so by using it this way you lose like 1/2 of the gcd
i did move the green line below the blue/red one
to show how much of the entire window you would lose
so the green line would basically lose you more than what you have left to use an ability
bright forum
if you are a button spammer
it is usually not a big deal
but raid mchanics happen, and your attention might be off for a few moment
spell queue window is to your advantage as a player
as it basically allows you to do back to back casts
but allowing you to "queue" up the spell in advanced for the specific time its set to (default is 0.4 seconds)
so, its not a big problem or issue, just somehting to be aware of that can impact your output
looking at the fight
you had a downtimes
rashok should be close to 0 downtime
also you used feint multiple times
heroic shoul not rly make feint a reasonable press
there is a slight delay in dance here
also, i assume what i mentioned just happened here
you used your first gcd late and lost a cast
another delay
this isn't rly a big issue, but the last gcd in dance is always evi
it is slightly better to just finish last gcd
to be able to use gloomblade
i also see you use bomb dispenser manual
can just macro it to w/e
macro it to gloomblade
would be one example
(and never think about it again)
delayd symbols here
think you would delay symbols here
but this is also a good example why delaying cooldowns can be bad
bcause if you look just the message above
you lost 4 seconds there
if you used it earlier
you would be able to use symbols earlir
having more symbols casts, and you wouldn't run into the question "do i need to delay"
you just finish after strike
you don't go from 6 -> 7 cp with a gb
its not a big mistake, just a small detail
a lot more downtime
double gb in dance
also a optimization you don't do
also one thing that isn't in your hand
killtime
you are at ~99k dps in your log
if you reduce the kill time to around the value you see in top logs
you would suddenly gt 8 k dps for free
it shouldn't be this relevant tho
because you don't use beacon
so killtime is less relevant
but as you see, lower kill times will directly impact the result
patent cloud
Just one quick question: we delay symbols if sd is on 10 seconds or less on cd?
bright forum
yes, thats a good rule of thumbs
so to go quickly over everything:
- stay on the boss, you can position in a way to allow very high uptime --- if not, talk to your tanks they likely make the raid harder for your raid team by not positioning the boss correct (can also use cloak/step to repossion)
- Try to use Tea more efficiently, you will else run into energy problems limiting your output. This is even more relevant on longer fights
- try using your cooldowns, on cooldown. Even small delays can add up over the fight and can lead to lower casts of shadow dance
- make yoruself comfortable, can macro bomb dispenser to a key you regularely press. Maybe consider using a macro for dance + gloomblade to have more time to use abilities in dance.
- if you have additional headroom, try optimizing rupture too. It sounds a lot harder than it actually is.
- some small other things like finishing last gcd in dance, not using gb gto go from 6->7 cb before secret etc.
esp. the first one is important. Having downtime is sometimes not avoidable, but in general not trying to keep them low is somthing that can easy lead to worse results
this does not mean you need to be greedy and die to mechanics as a consequence, just to be clear
patent cloud
You are the best
Not using gb to go from 6 to 7 cp before sectec - i thought 6 is enough?
bright forum
it is
thats what i am saying
if you gb-evi-strike
you can always finish with secret
don't need to use gb before that a 2nd time
