#bootyappraiser123 - Log Review
vivid leaf
sand raven
Ya gimme a sec and I will look through it
Got sidetracked
Hmm.....The log didnt upload right for whatever reason
Can you try to re-upload it @pliant vine
pliant vine
how i do that
sand raven
close the current report in the app
then basically just upload it again as a new report
sand raven
Same thing. Did you enable Advanced Combat Logging in the WoW settings?
pliant vine
yeah its on
sand raven
hmm....wonder why it's splitting the log like that thn
sand raven
well, I will do what I can with this
maybe in the meantime try another key to see if that log uploads properly? lol
pliant vine
i did also record a vod but idk how good itll do i realized i dont have the skill tracker addon thing that shows what abilities u used
sand raven
if you have a decent UI I can prob make about as much out of the vod as the way the logs uploaded
sand raven
prob just upload it to youtube
well cursory glance at logs, you're almost certainly messing up your crackshot windows.....some sections you did more damage with ambush than with BTE
pliant vine
crackshot over ambush in sub ?
sand raven
and in all sections Dispatch did more damage than BTE, which should not be the case
Crackshot is the talent that makes BTE not have a cooldown during Stealth
pliant vine
ohhhh mb i thought u meant the pistol shot reset thing
sand raven
I am not even at the level of nitpicking your builder priority at this point
pliant vine
oh god
so like
why is my dispatch doing more dmg than bte
i have noticed that too
sand raven
Because you're doing something wrong with crackshot windows
trying to translate these logs and figure out what
pliant vine
alright, 11 minutes on the video to upload as well
sand raven
nice
pliant vine
my ui is pretty clean i think so it should be good to see
sand raven
You are somewhat frequently Casting Vanish/Dance then using ambush
BTE should always be your first global
After entering Stealth (Subterfuge from vanish, or Shadow Dance)
pliant vine
yeah i started doing that bcs sometimes i press vanish and i dont enter sub and my bte goes on cooldown
idk what causes that
sand raven
In combat the most likely cause is trinkets
pliant vine
mydas?
sand raven
can be
pliant vine
i have that on macro with bte tho
sand raven
if you cast it at the same time as vanish/dance
Ya that is almost certainly the problem
sand raven
I'd recommend putting it on Pistol Shot if you really want to macro it into something
pliant vine
will do
sand raven
Pretty much everyone will tell you just to not macro it, but PS is fairly safe if you want to macro it
At least once you sent Blade Flurry as the last GCD in a pack for an unclear purpose, so general idea in M+ to be aware of when packs are dieing
you dont wanna send any kind of CD in the last few seconds of a pack, in general
pliant vine
i usually do that when i run out of cds or somethin
sand raven
And there for whatever reason, you hit Dance while you should probably have had subterfuge from being in stealth already
Maybe something broke you early....but hard to tell
pliant vine
i probably fat fingered it honestly lol
i usually do well with vanish and dance timings tho i think
not overlapping sub windows
sand raven
Ya I hadnt really noticed you overlapping them in combat
Put setup going from one pull to the next is important
pliant vine
yeah its tough with spiteful not being able to restealth
between packs
but yeah i see what ur saying
sand raven
Well in that screenshot you did restealth, but you managed to waste both vanish and dance within the span of 5 in combat globals =p
pliant vine
i think spiteful fixate breaks it no?
sand raven
Vanish > Ambush > BTE > BTE > BF > Stealth.....Next pack > Shadow Dance immediately, into an ambush
nope, as long as you dont get meleed, fixate doesnt break stealth
pliant vine
ah kk
the 360p version of the vod uploaded but its gonna take an hour for an hd version to uupload lmfao
it looks like shit
sand raven
I would recommend macroing Ghostly Strike into something for now as well, till you get more comfortable with the spec
you're forgetting to use it fairly often
sand raven
ghostly has a raw cooldown of 90 secs, and an effective cooldown of like 25 seconds, and occasionally you dont use it for almost 2 minutes
I have mine on SS
sand raven
SS isnt a great spot for it, but you will probably at least be using it on CD that way
I should have a VoD of an AD I did if you think watching that would help you
pliant vine
sure
im should be doing another key soon hopefully the logs upload correctly this time
sand raven
An AD starts at ~3:11:00
Not a particularly good AD for me, 228k, but an AD nonetheless
sand raven
That is almost certainly positioning based
I mean, your crackshot usage as well
but Positioning is important
pliant vine
like always being in melee range or sum?
sand raven
So blade flurry hits thing in a circle radius ~8 yards around you
so you wanna be basically in the middle of the mobs
I will be able to tell on the VoD easier how your positioning is
So like here
you're basically at max melee, so almost certainly not hitting all targets
Maybe in your head Blade Flurry cleaves from your target
but it does not
it cleaves from your character
pliant vine
mmm ok didnt know that
sand raven
Think of it similar to Whirlwind from warriors
same basic concept
except it's all of your damage all the time
pliant vine
ok ok
im gonna do another key now
ill stream on twitch this time and enable vod
so it wont be shit quality hopefulyl
sand raven
lol hope so
sand raven
details
pliant vine
o is it in details
sand raven
Options > Broadcaster > Action tracker
But ya watching you actually play on twitch would prob make it easy
I watch myself play sometimes to pick up on mistakes
sand raven
No, but it's very easy to set up tbh
Set width to 400
change it to square mode
set square width to 40
easy
Oh, and change displayed abilities to 10
Mine looked like this on stream once I turned it on. I forgot to change it to 10 from 5
sand raven
Ah, well, if you get OBS it makes that fairly easy
it has a wizard to basically set it up for you
You dont even need your stream key anymore, you just connect your twitch to your OBS and done
I wish my VoD from this morning had stayed on twitch. So I could preach the good word of KiR build
sand raven
well, I can just watch
sand raven
For our purposes anything like 20+ should be fine
no need to go to a push key relaly
Oh, look into the addon Premade Group Filters. It's pretty handy
pliant vine
whats it do
sand raven
helps you filter groups
pliant vine
ah ok
sand raven
so you dont have to manually look through 400 groups you dont want anyway
pliant vine
true that is usefull
sand raven
Do you not use party frames?
pliant vine
r those not party frames
pliant vine
lol
sand raven
It was behind the LFG window lol
You have no audio, idk if you were intending to or not
pliant vine
i dont play with audio, only crackshot resets lol
sand raven
One of my work rituals is to listen to Rap God at least once a shift
nah im at work lol
pliant vine
nah the song lmfao
sand raven
oh idk his newer stuff
pliant vine
ya i wait till we in to use it
sand raven
fair enough
So before the key goes in you can AR and Pot for a free Pot and free combo points (for SND), and free loaded dice
evasion the ghosts
lol one of them pulled saurids
You sat on RTB for quite a long time there
You have 4p right? Always refresh RTB before it expires. Maybe just a misplay, but I've seen you let it expire quite often
Refresh at ~2 secs, or just before a stealth window if its under ~8 seconds
Sometimes you are finishing at 4 CP
And also sitting with AR off CD when it isnt active
I gotta actually do work for a min so ....gl
You should basically always be opening from stealth with Blade Flurry in AoE. You often ambush or some other thing that isn't Blade Flurry
pliant vine
that was a terrible key tbh
lmfao
my macro didnt work in the beginnign for pistol shot
i couldnt se it
use
idk if u saw that
lmfao
i didnt write cast pistol shot
whoops
pliant vine
So before the key goes in you can AR and Pot for a free Pot and free combo point...
whats pot?
sand raven
Your dps potion
pliant vine
ah ok
pliant vine
You have 4p right? Always refresh RTB before it expires. Maybe just a misplay, b...
yeah i noticed this too, i try to save rtb for loaded dice but i might just be wasting it
i do have 4p tho
sand raven
You lose a lot more by letting it expire and not benefitting from 4piece
But if playing properly you should basically always have loaded dice ready anyway
sand raven
That is probably why the log keeps uploading incorrectly lol
sand raven
weird
maybe you need to delete your combat log
maybe it's corrupted for some reason
pliant vine
delete the entire log folder?
pliant vine
EBUSY: resource busy or locked, unlink 'D:\Battle.net\World of Warcraft_retail_\Logs\WoWCombatLog-120423_010031.txt'
thats what i got
sand raven
prob have to close the game to delete it then
pliant vine
yep deleted
sand raven
I think if you deal with all the stuff I mention, you will end up with a lot higher overlal tho
you have very similar gear to mine
can you open character sheet?
Ya pretty similar gear to mine. You have kind of a lot of haste though
ideally you probably change some of your haste to crit once you have the pieces to do so
But sim can tell you what to do there
pliant vine
yeah im not really sure what to replace tbh not many things are giving me haste
sand raven
Helm, both weapons, 1 ring, boots
Cape I think?
More than half your gear has haste
lol
It is what it is, just slots you can upgrade once you have the pieces to do so
pliant vine
yeah but also has vers, idk what else to get that doesnt give haste that has vers or crit
sand raven
The Fall Axe is BiS for most people now
BoE helm is crit vers
or craft one on tuesday
Craft a ring or get the one from DHT
or the ring from raid
Twisted bark
pliant vine
haste is just bad overall?
sand raven
that one sims well for me
pliant vine
even to have a little bit
sand raven
You want a certain amount of haste (determined by the sim) and then it falls off a cliff
Like after a certain point haste is borderline worthless for M+
You're still holding vanish /AR for long periods when you dont need to
IE AR is coming off CD , AR isn't active, and you just sit on it
Not refreshing RTB before you go into stealth when it will run out during stealth window
On Witherbark no reason to hold Vanish at all, just send it. If he is getting low on energy it's probably worth holding Dance for the burn phase though
Refreshing RTB is basically always your highest priority action, unless you're in a stealth window. You still often let RTB fully expire, and sometimes just not be active at all for extended periods
Your reroll WA is out of date....not following the current rules
Ok NVM, it actually just tells you that RTB is off cooldown, not when to roll
And maybe I am missing it, but I dont see what in your UI tells you loaded dice is active?
Also you 100% can and should cast AR + RTB in stealth pre pull if you dont have RTB/AR up before the pull
saves you a global or 2 in combat
You're also losing BTE crit buff uptime by rarely casting BTE outside of stealth
A more niche interaction, that maybe is too much for you at the moment, given all the RTB issues, but in stealth when you have both Broadsides and Opportunity procs, you should pistol shot over ambush
1 GCD for 6 CP for very little energy
Ok I see your loaded Dice WA
I think I miss it in combat because you often wait until you cast AR to cast RTB, so the Loaded Dice buff is getting consumed almost instantly every time
You're somewhat often using more builders than you need to. IE 3 ambushes before a BTE/dispatch. That might be just an issue with the action tracker and HO procs though. Hard to tell
pliant vine
A more niche interaction, that maybe is too much for you at the moment, given al...
yeah i try to do this but ill prob do it better once i keep playing more
and ive noticed my biggest problem is letting my buffs expire
i tried to do better in that dung but idk if i did
sand raven
yes, that is easily the biggest issue.
You seem to only reroll after casting AR
so your buffs expire a lot
pliant vine
You're somewhat often using more builders than you need to. IE 3 ambushes before...
and yes i am using to many builders, ill change that
sand raven
and you waste Loaded Dice rerolling sometimes when you dont need to
pliant vine
You're also losing BTE crit buff uptime by rarely casting BTE outside of stealth
yeah this ill work on as well
sand raven
Just trying to point things out as I see them. I make some of these mistakes myself
pliant vine
IE AR is coming off CD , AR isn't active, and you just sit on it
i thought AR can come off cooldown while being active
so thats why ive been sitting on it
do i just send it off cds?
sand raven
It can, but sometimes your AR isnt active, and comes off CD, and you sit on it
Maybe your WA just isn't working for you
Not like, functionally broken, but it just isnt working in a way that is triggering you to cast it
pliant vine
yeah true
sand raven
So like, with Afenar (which is I think what you're using, it's what I use), When AR is active it will have a timer on it
when it is off CD but not active it will just be an icon like it is right now
pliant vine
ah i see whats going on
thjeres like a small cooldown line then shows up when i think its active and its off cd
i think its still active
but its not
pliant vine
yeah fs
so like how much dmg do u think im missing in that dungeon
after seeing that
ik thats hard to answer
but like what would u usually be pulling
sand raven
With the way that dungeon was pulled, and the things I saw to correct.....I think you could probably have hit 330-350k in that key with perfect play
pliant vine
damn im missing that much
sand raven
Well, I've been trying to get your log working properly because that's the best way to actually compare numbers
details isnt accurate
sand raven
lol idk
sand raven
The last EB I did was a 23 and I think details said 330 or something around there
but we pulled differently
pliant vine
dayum
aight well i think im getting off now, ill take a screenshot of these tips and log another key tomorrow if ur around
ty btw
sand raven
Ya like besides the RTB thing this is mostly small things to fix
your crackshot windows are mostly good.
too many ambushes sometimes
and sitting on CDs sometimes
but inside them you mostly do things right
pliant vine
mmm ok ok ill fix the rtb issues tm hopefully lol
sand raven
You might benefit from a diff WA for it
there are some that are up to date that tell you when to roll
pliant vine
do u have 1 ?
sand raven
no I use base afenar and manually reroll
pliant vine
i tried to look for one the other week i couldnt find an updated one
sand raven
ask in the outlaw chat, there's 1 that like 90% of the community uses that works well
sand raven
np, gl, have a good night
pliant vine
