https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/LNmBvyFr6W397Cbj#type=damage-done&boss=-2&difficulty=0&wipes=1 Hello. We are progressing Sarkareth right now and i wanted to know if someone has an idea of something i could improve on. Im in a full ST specc in order to burst the 2nd and 3rd Add. Cheer for the help 😄

I compared my first kill (looks like we were very similarly geared) vs wipes 18, 19, 22 in your log and you consistently have ~90% of my casts-per-minute (and dps). I checked combo point/energy wastage and it doesnt seem to explain the big difference, so unless theres some major RNG factors im missing i think you're probably just not hitting the boss enough.
I can see you lack windfury but I think thats less than half the difference (did some sims of myself on short fight length to confirm), so I believe youre losing about 5% of your possible damage in P1 with missed casts

#

Do you find yourself out of melee range, or not casting because youre focussed on mechanics/surviving in P1? By the end of prog I was losing at most 1-2 globals per P1 to dodging swirlies, and then only with awkward swirly spawns

night dirge I compared my first kill (looks like we were very similarly geared) vs wipes 18,...

hmm that might be a problem i have never really watched out for, but its a really good point. Will try to look out more for my uptime next time. thanks mate 🙂

#

np, could be smth i missed but everything looks reasonable and its pretty common not to notice downtime like that

#

i know i did way more damage on our last 3 pulls just by sitting up and mashing buttons harder 😂 and using shadowstep properly to avoid any downtime on the move with swirlies

#

haha ye i can imagine 😄 but ye i definitely have to use my shadowstep more often , especially in p2 with the dispell jumped a few times into the blossoms with it and then just kinda dropped it and didnt use it again ^^

#

ah

#

i reccomend

#

a macro to shadowstep to a few of the melee

#

that way you hit it as soon as the dispel hits

#

and youll jump to them before they get sent too far (if you press it quick enough)

#

and wont go into the blossom like if you target boss

#

i used multiple players in case one player was dead or out with the debuff etc

#

uhh thats a really good idea , will probably already make quite a difference in uptime with that

night dirge Oct 9, 2023, 12:05 PM

#

id also use the melee who can get back to boss fastest, that way if youre slow with it theres a chance they already got back so you hop right into melee

#

for example outlaw rogue or havoc DH or maybe warr/feral since they just charge

#

you can also spam it while you run back from ranged if YOU had the debuff so you hop into melee asap

#

perfect, will do just that next time 😄

night dirge Oct 9, 2023, 12:07 PM

#

🥳

#

want me to send my macros so you can just copy and edit?

normal hatch Oct 9, 2023, 12:08 PM

#

that would be awesome 😄

night dirge Oct 9, 2023, 12:08 PM

#

/use [@Ordeca]Shadowstep
/use [@Killingt]Shadowstep
/use [@Meownar]Shadowstep```

#

just change the names

#

i also used this macro in P2 and 3

#

/focus
/use [@Myrtmonk]Tricks of the Trade```

#

im a bit boomer so sometimes i lost time manually swapping to the big add

#

so any time I went to hit adds i just hit that macro

#

can get rid of /focus if you want to use it but dont want anythong focussed ofc

#

just changing the names should be all you need to do 👍
