++12 arms rookery, missing casts compared to better warriors? or is it something else

[bitter nest]

Hey everyone, learning arms! Had a nice rookery run today. I compared it to critcakes logs though and saw he's just getting much more casts per minute than I am. I think this is where I'm missing most of my damage?

Some #'s from logs:
My cpm vs crits
ms: 11.5 vs 15.7
cleave: 4.3 vs 5.8

I saw this in my logs before and have been trying to hit my buttons as often as possible but the gap is just massive, anyone know what's going on?

Open to other tips too if you see them, thanks!

edit: i think cpm isnt the issue anymore, but i do think im still missing out on quite a bit of damage so aprecciate any help in general ^^

not advice, just curious about how you are comparing the two runs. is the pace and the rate of pulls the same (or even just roughly) for both runs?

not similar at all tbh. i just open up high ranking logs to try and get an idea of what i might be missing.. worked for awhile but maybe apples to oranges isnt working anymore

in this case i thought i was missing just raw casts per minute but i looked more and i think high groups just have more combat uptime so not sure its cpm anymore =/

it might just be that he's getting more casts off because they're pulling more mobs and being in combat more consistently?

i think so
my cleave casts: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/kwrXCKDx8jVc1LzJ?fight=1&type=casts&source=4
crits cleave casts: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1FYVMQraDdxtGhwv?fight=2&type=casts&source=6

kinda shows they were in combat alot more consistently

maybe i should edit my post to just ask for advice in general =p

but hey regardless, you parsed a 99 on that rookery you just did!
