Name AxeYouLater-Darkspear

as title states im trying to get more DPS out of my warrior

started playing WOW 5.5months ago and warrior about start of season 2.

im using lux warrior WA and some other ones but thats the only one for warrior

i feel like its rotation (rage management) and when to use whirlwind but am looking to get more dps overall and some tips and tricks.

main talents are mostly top100 or from an other warrior in a friends guild

i dont currently have any footage but might be able to get some TMR if really needed

all logs are public also the HC ones

Before anything else is mentioned, I think it's beneficial if you explained your thought process behind this opener on mythic CoC

[nimble tinsel]

while this is a bad pull on opener i sure can,

mainly i would use reck and avatar as the main dmg buff for BL and pre pots get close with charge get rampage going before using bladestorm to what i think maximizeing dps here roar is a bit late tho

[nimble tinsel]

execute to get some debuff going and rage. Bloodthirst as rage generation too

[safe cedar]

your reck ava torrent charge into rampage is good (this should include tempered potions too)

Why is it you're not casting bladestorm after the first rampage?

[nimble tinsel]

i thought getting a execute( forgot name for the talent) off before a bladestorm was a bit more beneficial as its still within the time frame of the buffs

[safe cedar]

It's more beneficial to get bladestorm on cooldown asap

[nimble tinsel]

also the reason for the late tempered (and also a bit late bladestorm) it took a while for BL to pop iirc could be wrong and using an excuse ;P

[safe cedar]

nah just use it immediately

with ur CDs

[nimble tinsel]

alr

[safe cedar]

Ait my next suggestion is - dont go the whirlwind build for cauldron of carnage. People tend to perform much better going a pure single target build

the window in which you can cleave 2 targets is so small that it's not worth it

[nimble tinsel]

Yh i can see that

[safe cedar]

Next - your stats are kinda all over the place. You have 28.3k mastery according to the log, you will easily gain more dps from using gems/enchants that arent mastery - It's best if you sim what gems are best for you, enchants as well. Based on prior knowledge its safe to say that haste will be the best candidate but the sim will know for sure.

Gameplay wise, you're underusing your cooldowns, get that shit on cooldown asap in a fight like CoC - there's no need to save your CDs for any mechanic (other than the clash maybe) so you should use them as much as possible

You're also over using execute a lot

and you have crazy downtime too

[nimble tinsel]

i did do some sims but going from things like WOW head mastery was more of a prio

[safe cedar]

yes but everything needs context. You have so much mastery that the value of each point of mastery has gone down

[nimble tinsel]

Alright understood

[safe cedar]

for me haste vers sims higher than mastery crafts

[nimble tinsel]

Downtime yh i know is a bit wonky really depends on the fight mainly cuz i have to move a lot due to mechs

[safe cedar]

rotationally, your main issue is pressing execute too much and not pressing rampage early enough

you overcap rage a bunch

[nimble tinsel]

when should i use or not use execute (rn i use it quite a bit to just fill like you said)

[safe cedar]

https://wago.io/r8u4tHLRQ

this weakaura tells you when to press execute

[nimble tinsel]

ran it thru wowanalyzer and i did indeed see rage over caps which said like 19 times or sm like that

[safe cedar]

unless you have nothing else ofc, then execute is ur filler

[nimble tinsel]

Alr will use that next time

[safe cedar]

practice with it on a dummy

But yeah i hope that helped you a little bit. If you're unsure how to sims your gear/gems/enchants for better results, hop on over to #fury and people will help you out

[nimble tinsel]

will do other then that prob just lower downtime and hit rampage more

[safe cedar]

Ok

[nimble tinsel]

one last question if i dont have rage for rampage do u reccomend using bloodthirst over raging blow yess right?

i kinda learned the spec by doing it the other way around

[safe cedar]

RB > BT

BT is only better than RB when BT has an above 80% chance of critting or when the boss is in Vicious Contempt range

[nimble tinsel]

which is? ;P

[safe cedar]

read "Vicious Contempt" talent

[nimble tinsel]

but okay bt only when around 80% then

[safe cedar]

VC range is 35% boss hp

(the above 80% refers to a crit chance, not enemy hp)

[nimble tinsel]

i am aware the WA i have tracks it

[safe cedar]

[nimble tinsel]

what would be a good target range for mastery to be in

[safe cedar]

there's no such thing as a target range, sim your gear to find out whats good and what isnt. I could say "try to have upwards of 15k mastery but dont go above 24k because thats too much" but that isn't how gearing works and it also doesnt paint an accurate picture of whats good and what isnt

[nimble tinsel]

alright will spent some time simming thanks!
