I'll take a look through this in ~one hour, probably, as a heads up, but kneejerk improvements are normally:

  • Ensure you're not sending Outburst on Thunder Clap; it's less damage and rage in almost all circumstances
  • Make sure you're not oversending on IP; this maximizes your rage gen, meaning more outbursts for damage and CD reduction
  • Ensure you're properly using CDs on CD unless you get big value from holding

Appreciate you taking a look. I’ll try to break down these tips in the meantime.

#

Let me know if you need something else.

#

If you do have other logs, it'd be helpful, but it's mostly to check for the use you're getting out of disrupting shout. Since in this particular dungeon,

#

you like,

#

caught 3 casts with it in the entire dungeon

#

On the bright side, they were giga-wallops, so it was a beneficial thing to catch

#

But unless your team absolutely desperately needs you to have disrupting to catch those 3 wallops,

#

you can safely just shift back to show of force; you're not really getting value from that talent, even from the aoe taunt end of it

#

And sorry for taking a bit, dozed off a bit while looking. Damage wise, it's going to be largely 1 and 3 of the above bullet points for you; you're undersending demo shout, even for mechagon which has a few extended periods of not being in combat.

#

If we assume 4 minutes of those were just waiting/walking/doing not combat, you could have probably fit in like 6-ish more demo shouts

#

You also appear to be sitting on demolish for

#

like

#

zero reason?

#

In one of my weekly 10 keys I ran in mechagon which was like 10 minutes-ish shorter, I got more casts of demolish out

#

You also might be able to fit in an extra shield wall cast somewhere, as well, to get some extra IO use out, but that's going to be minor in comparison to making sure you're spending your outbursts on Shield Slam.

#

You sent almost half of them on Thunder Clap, which does very little for Colo

#

It takes some very high target counts, like absurd amounts of target counts, for it to be worth sending Outburst on TC as Colo

#

Since you lose the rage to fuel more revenges and it's often less damage, even in AOE, as well

#

also if you're max optimizing for damage, you'll want to try and potion as much as possible

at least more than once

#

You'll also want to get more used to sending execute, as well

#

You likely could have sent more in boss fights in general, considering you're hitting a +15 here

#

It's scary, since if you send it at the wrong time, you sit on open globals, but if you want to optimize your damage, you've gotta get used to when to send it. Generally, that means if you're exactly at 40 rage, press Revenge, then Execute, so you don't immediately run dry if you don't get a SS reset

#

If you're above or below, you'd run out anyway on the latter, and the former you'll have more to keep pressing anyway

#

But the main things to help your damage will be to send Outburst on Shield Slam, since it's absurdly more damage in ST and generally more damage in AOE while allowing for more sending revenge, and making sure you're actually sending your CDs on CD

#

Heck, you might have even been able to sneak an extra Ravager or so in there, even

#

oh gee, wow, you might be terribly undersending shield charge; that number of hits and damage dealt seems terribly low

#

Got a weak aura to track my outburst usage and its made a huge difference already. Thank you for that. The more you know o7

#

also its a dungeon with relatively small target count packs so is 10% to revenge actually contributing to any meaningful damage

#

If you'te not going to press t, might as well swap to sof

winged cobalt
#

i didnt check to see if he did

tame cedar
#

yeah, it's why i brought it up

winged cobalt
#

oh nah

tame cedar
#

It only stopped 3 casts at all the entire dungeon, and they qere all giga wallops

winged cobalt
#

me when you are one of 3 specs that can aoe silence

woeful geyser
#

lol I get it, I could of and usually do press it more. Sometimes it be like that.

Again thank you for your input, I appreciate it.

#

Only been playing since the release of tww, lots to learn. o7
