#Ziruu log review
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Hi! Sorry but Makeitquake cannot answer the log right now but I’m sure a top tier gamer is going to help you asap 

I guess opener is OK..probably a problem with my energy? Often fall below 50%..in some fights i did not watch the boss timeline and wasted KB.. and is 4 set that big? Use 2p/2p right now. „Bad“ trinkets ..
@meager bridge @dense quest sorry to ping you here too.
But two at once 
Appreciate you kings
This guy's doing more than me in practice, but maybe I can full nerd theory and find stuff x)
Any particular fights or just overall Ziru?
Look at an st fight
Stuff like gnarlroot can change everywhere
Based on timings and whatnot
Hi mate, general i guess
Maybe you see some important things to improve
I can look through the Smolderon and Igira fight, since you died on Volcoross
Just gimme a sec and I'll try to get some pointers out 🙂
Many many thanks!!
smold will be a lil scuffed due to damage orbs
Why would it be scuffed? 😮
Just go KB on pull and send the whole DM KB on orb with lust
yeah fight timings can be swapped around with lust etc is all
yeah i hadn't looked, all g
But good point to look out for for sure
Sometimes i run out of energy and start pooling but idk if i do it correctly. An y i guess my gear is still trash but compared with other ilvl logs my dmg is still shit
it's hard to compare to ilvl atm, cause there will be people with 4 pc still at your ilvl
others with huge daggers and low rest of their gear etc
(hey thats me, no weapon no tier set :'D)

also, in a way, in the first week, alot of the people are top mythic raiders, so the parse % will potentially go up as more casual players complete the fights
But huh, small thing at least on smolderon, you're getting Rupture before SnD, not sure if its better/worse/the same, but I know all guides do SnD - Rupture in the opener
Used this guide
these shiv lines should be connected in the pairs. might need to track the shiv debuff to make sure you arent missing kb ticks in the middle of the window
You can overlap. KB is 14s, Shiv is 8s x2
shiv is 8s, with kb only 14, gives you 2s leeway, 1 sec of which you use in the gcd before kb
Okay good call, is noted
i see you also drop off envenoms a lil bit, it doesn't matter so much until you get 4pc, but you want to be chaining them inside the previous window until you can't anymore, and then waiting till your energy bar has filled back up before beginning a new chain
Also, your tea usage seems odd. On that Smolderon fight, you don't use it in your fight KB window, proceed to use two stacks basically back to back during downtime (within 5s of each other), and then 2 more on the DM KB.
You then held KB for a looooong time and never paired it with DM ever again? These two NEED to be matched together every 2 minutes, only not to send on CD is to wait for execute timing if these are gonna be your last round of CDs for the fight.
Okay so Evenom let them tick end refresh at the end of the buff?
one thing i noticed was it is kinda hard to maintain the envenom buff when reapplying rupture, so you should aim to get 5/6 cp envenom prior to refresing rupture to give you the time to build
Yes tea usage is sometimes stupid, agree!
obviously don't do this inside kb window, but outside cd's yeah this is the play, build to finisher level cp then hold till 1/2 seconds left
Okay so basicly i panic a bit to much and just calm down a bit out of CD windows
For the pooling thing:
If you aren't in a "Burst window" (aka Dance + KB), you go into maintenance mode, meaning:
-Make sure target has both rupture + garrote
-Use Mutilate to 4+ CP
-Use Envenom when you're high on energy, then you chain it down. Meaning, after that first envenom, you Mutilate twice, wait out the whole Envenom duration, then do another one and repeat. At some points you will add a Garrote in your mutilates to fill and refresh, and spam faster finishers for a Rupture.
-Once you get low energy, you just pool. You will end up with a few seconds of not doing anything and its normal, we aren't outlaw
I tend to never ever use Tea outside burst windows. I use one on my opener KB + DM, then I will use the 1 stack per min to match with KB, and the 2 "bonus" charges I use to open my Deathmarks
Okay so i hold for every burst window 2 teas? And can use between the windows
the most important part with tea is to have it rolling for the last tick of kb
I read something that we use tea at beginnig on burst and to the last 6 secs of KB to buff it
My usage (which is not backed by any sims or pros) is 1 Tea on normal Dance + KB, and 2 Teas per Deathmark + KB (outside the opener)
Last 6 sec is CRUCIAL
At the start, imo its mainly so you have energy to spam the whole way through
Get it okay
So overall i did a OK Job, need to get better gear and improve timings in CDs
The way the spec is tuned, we have downtime right. So you'd rather have downtime outside cooldowns, and using Tea then just loses out on the Mastery portion of it
there are some good weakauras for trackign when to use cd's i'll screenshot the one i made for myself as an idea
Yes please
Get back to this - so its more important dont let the buff drop with 4p ?
give me 2 secs, i need to turn hdr, you cannot see anything
Other thing, on CD management for optimization
Good point
yeah because you only get the bonus damage if the envenom is inside a previous envenom window
Okay noted
On Igira, you had some delay between KB 1 and KB 2, which "technically" lost you a cast, but that part is hindsight. Still a bad habit, it should be sent ASAP so that you dont lose time on both KB and for DM (because you dont send DM without KB)
I was also gonna suggest holding your 2nd DM for execute window, but it was in. Your comp is just soooo frontloaded with those DKs that the dmg graph is skewed
So the purple lines are when i need to shiv between, green line is when i have to tea after, and the white lines are when to vanish to hit the last 2 ticks
So i will try to send it every min right? Try not to delay it and start pooling before burst phases and apply all buffs before
I also often forgot the garote after dance/KB…
We vanish in the windows?
yeah i did that at first too, and was wondering why my garrote was dropping before i could vanish
yeah it gurantees the last 2 ticks of kb to crit with master assassin
3
no, 3, but kb ticks at expiration and 2 seconds before
You vanish for Master Assassin for the last 2 ticks and you can also get another improved garrote from it
To fully extend with pandemic the first one in Shadow Dance
Before burst, you want
- Some time left on Garrote/Rupture (at least like 5-6s)
- Envenom buff up (try to hold that spender right until the CDs are up)
- About 80% energy
Okay i will try it in the next fights
My normal pre burst is like:
Garrote + Rupture like a full cycle or two before
- Mutilate twice
- Sit on it for like 5 seconds to get energy
- Envenom
- Shiv
- Shadow Dance + Kingsbane and go
This is normal burst window right?
also, keep in mind, you will want 5+ cp if you are in a dm burst window for the envenom leading into that
same for all of them
With Deathmark you use DM before KN right?
otherwise 4+ is fine for just dance
Okay
Yeah, same thing but DM - Shiv - Dance
So mast thing the vanish thing
KB is ticking - shiv is active, tea is active when i use vanis? Last 3 seconds on KB ?
Okay
before 3 you miss last tick, and after 2 you miss the second last tick
Okay last thing which weak auras you would recommend ?
And use it to refresh empored garote right?
i haven't used any really so i'm not able to recommend as i make my own.
yup
Okay
i guess the only one is notters kb tracker. which is kind of a minigame to practice
Is Zacs weakaura good for assa? Currently use them
I have this weakaura
there is a similar version of what i have in the !wa command that LE made which is more dynamic
Sepsis 90s CD where xd
for the timers on things in kb
But yeah, I think overall you've got a few things to work on and all Ziru, if you've got further questions feel free to poke back later 🙂
Thank you guys i will test a bit around and come back to you witj 99‘s
hell yeah!
@dense quest ur are german?
Sorry, Canadian x)
Some screenshots were in German cuz your logs we're German and I didn't swap em back to English
Okay because the review of my log was in german. Was thinking that u also german
Ok get it
Thanks buddy!!
Npnp, have a good evening!
I got another question, how important is it to stay aboce 50% energy
Not really a whole lot
Dont think much of it, but when pooling you naturally should float slightly above
During burst you just full send and dont care about sanguine blades
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/8hxJbCvpyW37rMKj#fight=24&type=damage-done&source=5 @dense quest holy how is that such a shit log
Your KB windows aren’t great.
You also kept pushing them further and further and further back.
You started at 10s and ended at 5:41ish.
Losing 30s of cd kinda big.
You also had some pretty bad teas (wanna make sure mastery hits the end always)
And you’re wasting a lot of combo points
It’s not a lot in the grand scheme of things.
But 3 envenoms
Kinda biggly
Also as weird as it is with the timer, you probably want to hold that DM for 5m instead of sending at 4.
So you can get a second pot in with everything.
You also didn’t receive PI in mythic when almost every sin rogue on mythic prog is going to
So you lost 10ishk damage just from that
so regarding kingsbane you mean that i need to send them ON CD
yea the thing with teas i know
okay okay thank you
Loosely, you want to always send with dm every other one.
But you kept pushing it back a lot
what is that mean
i tried to use KB on cd
sometimes need to dodge or play a mechanic where i cant send cds
is that a big thing? i
okay sure
Your kb lines weren’t great. That’s the major thing I saw.
Teaing too early. Shiv overlap, etc
If the fight lasted 6:30, it would have been an entire cast missed, that's what it's important/can matter
but shiv should overlap or ?
Shiv can overlap for 1-2 sec per use, not any more
