Thanks @vocal pagoda
Okay so some super basic things.
You’re doing a bit of energy and CP waste on here.
Roughly 1/6 of your energy is wasted here. Which means less builders + finishers to send to the boss and adds.
You also had 20 unforced wasted CP, which is a loss of four finishers as well.
You also have low uptime on garrote + rupture as shown below:
Okay - does this mean just my stamina bar is full but I'm not building CP?
The 84.03/83.51 is your uptime
On the waste area, it means your bar is full but you’re not spending it
Ah okay, so if i'm like running a trap but at full stamina that would be waste, got it.
There are windows where you’ll not be able to, as chains and dance happen
But with it that high, it seems to be a gameplay issue as well -
Totally is i'm sure
That’s the first bit, let me go in a bit more to check sequencing. You also missed a flag cast. I see from your casts that you lined up all your flag+vanish+vendettas
Also, if i'm rupturing early because say dance is about to come up, I just re-apply even if it's at like 20 seconds left, that's waste too right?
Vanish+ vendetta is good to sync
That’s a wasted finisher, remember, you can hit the boss as you’re running
Pandemic meaning the 30% that goes onto the next one? My weakaure I think glows but I wasn't sure what it was called
Yes
Okay good to know
You’re opener is a bit scuffed. Here’s how it would normally go.
Mut > SnD > pot > Mut > Garrote > flag > rupture > vendetta> shiv > vanish > Mut >(if at 4 or 5) >envenom > Mut
I'm curious how I am wasting that much energy. I'll have to record and watch it back. I feel like i'm always starved.
Pot?
I think I was using icy-veins opener so this is good to know i'll practice this one
Oops... lol I use flasks and sharp stones?
So for raid a few checks you want to make sure you have:
Food buff
Weapons stones/oils, preference here.
Potions
Yep, you’ll use agility potions with stones
Okay, I honestly... first time hearing about these lol
So it sounds like i'm playing in the bottom 15% of other ass. rogues near my ilvl?
That's good though, because once improved I should be maxing damage for my guild.
Oh okay, so still pretty bad lol
oh I haven't been paying attention
I just made the thread and dipped

let me skim it real quick
Haha - I appreciate both of you
Opener sequence, uptime on bleeds, potting, not missing flag casts or other CDs (which he’s not missing vanish/vendetta) CP/energy waste
At 236, not going to hit the talent thing as of yet.
we talk about shiv yet?
I think I’ve covered it, but I get self conscious and wanna make sure I give you all the info possible and the truest info possible
Oh thank you, i missed it in the rest
Yeah I certainly messed up one.
Shiv on CD. It’s an uptime buff, not a burst thing. 14 casts on 7.5 is a bit low even with dance.
The original opener I was doing was was mainly tying together MUT - Shiv - Vend - Flag - Vanish - Envenom
oh
He had the vanish casts according to this - weird visual
It sounds like Flag doesn't need to combo with Vend and Van
Oh gotcha okay so that opener you sent matches it but I should still flag when it comes up before the other two are up
While you’re learning fights, just cast on flag CD. We’ll go over pooling once initial things are fixed
Makes sense yeah that's easier for now.
But for purposes of damage missing casts is worse than not lining them up,
Also for max casting in vendetta/vanish. You can get most of the window in before the dance. It’s close but essentially the second vendetta comes off CD, pop it before dance. You also hope to high roll it and hope for a favorable starting part for the dance
And did you vendetta an add during the fight?
You did, try to avoid that. Happens to the best of us.
Yeah, I think I did that because last week we couldn't beat this boss and the add damage was horrendous
That was a conscious decision at that point.
A bad one, but certainly one I thought we might need lol
So gonna sum up log review as there was a lot of info put here.
Things to work on:
- maximizing flag casts
- maximizing uptime on your bleeds
- avoid energy waste as much as possible, even the best will waste some, but 1/6 is high.
- shiv on CD
- Try to waste less Combo points
- only rupture in pandemic (or when it’s “glowing” if you have a weak aura pack)
- use potions
- fix opener sequencing
If you got max value that’s what matters 
Haha - okay awesome i'll copy those tips so when this thread dies I don't lose it.
You’re new and it’ll take time, but hopefully this helps you improve your play and absolutely frag your next raid 
I'll also practice the new opener and look into pots
Yeah, our guild has a huge DPS problem so this should help
Thanks a lot for both of your time
pleasure
