Hello, I was hoping someone with more knowledge about the class could look over my logs and see if there is anything I'm doing wrong and can change to improve my DPS. Have the gear just don't know what I'm doing differently than others in my ilvl bracket that makes them do more DPS. Thanks!

First and foremost, do you understand the value of being enraged and do you actively track when you are enraged?

spiral crest
#

Yes, I did recently get a WA to track the timer

Well in your opener you didn't enrage yourself before going into bladestorm

#

Generally, we want to click Reck > Charge > Avatar+Trinkets+Pot > Rampage (This enrages you) > Bladestorm (you can Thunderous Roar before Bladestorming) > Raging blows until you have no more stacks > Rampage > Thunderous Roar (if you didn't use it before Bladestorm)

#

this opening sequence has two important components: The initial opener to get you enraged: Combat Start > Reck > Charge > Ava > Rampage - this will always give you 80 rage to insta Rampage if you do it once you're in combat and you do it fast enough.

#

The second component is optimizing Brutal Finish around Slaughtering Strikes, aka the reason why we spam Raging Blows after every single Bladestorm in order to squeeze out more damage. This always looks like this: Bladestorm > Raging Blow > Raging Blow > Raging Blow until you have no more stacks or your enrage runs out > Rampage

#

this second component will keep you at 130 rage, completely maxed out overcapping and you still want to keep pressing Raging Blow after Bladestorm

#

because..well..it's just stronger than immediately pressing Rampage after Bladestorm

#

here's the opening sequence of your sprocket kill may 21st

#

its been some time since then but that was ur best kill of sprocket

#

as u can see here, you didnt enrage yourself before starting the bladestorm

#

This here is a recent gallywix kill (june 4th), you did enrage yourself, but you did so in a very inefficient manner

#

You had filler raging blows and even a bloodthirst - you do not need that

#

if you do the opening sequence correctly, then you get can 80 rage with zero filler spells

#

Good to know, so if I get my opener done correctly I should hopefully see improvement? I've never looked at my opener in the logs so I appreciate you breaking it down for me! Is there anything else besides the opener that stands out that I could do better with?

#

nor did I know that about after Bladestorming prioing Raging Blow over Enrage to drop stacks of SS

oh ok sorry misunderstood

Generally on a fight by fight basis I see that you are dropping a shitton of uptime. There is no need to be doing that unless you get assigned with mechanics like playing the bomb on gallywix or if you need to soak the orange/red circles on mugzee because your ranges are lazy. Your main job, as a melee dps, is to stick to your target. You also have a talent called "Frenzy" which makes you dislike switching targets. On gallywix you almost always want to stick to the boss. The only exception is when gally flies away with adds spawning - then adds are your priority to focus down. But if the boss is next to the adds (e.g. on vexie/mythic gallywix) then you ALWAYS want gallywix to be your main target if your main focus is parsing well.

#

if you can avoid using leap while sticking to your target then dont leap, keep pressing buttons that deal dam

#

Or on one-armed bandit, stick to that boss. dont move away from him to charge to an add. be glued to that boss.

#

Other than that, it appears that you are prematurely executing despite not wanting to press execute. We have very specific conditions when we want to execute, it's not a button we randomly press over raging blow or bloodthirst. It's very methodical when we want to press it. Do you have the fury SD conditions weakaura that essentially automates this thought process for you?

spiral crest
#

No I do not

long onyx
#

click on this

#

i recommend getting the bloodthirst crit tracker and the fury sd conditions weakaura

#

We want to only click bloodthirst when it crits above 80% of the time or as a filler, that weakaura tracks it for you and even lights up and plays a sound when its ready

spiral crest
#

I do have BT crit tracker WA

long onyx
#

wonderful

#

the SD conditions weakaura tells you when to execute - you are free to exe as a filler of course but it specifically tells you when it's better to click execute than e.g. raging blow

#

Execute lighting up due to an SD proc is not a reason to actually click it

spiral crest
#

What is the reason we don't click exec right when we get a SD proc? What conditions trigger the WA to tell us when to press it?

long onyx
#

the actual conditions ended up being:
Execute if: Ashen Juggernaut about to fall off or SD about to fall off or 2 stacks of SD or 3 stacks of marked for execution or overwhelmed falling off and at least 1 stacks of marked for execution

#

and this weakaura just does that for you

spiral crest
#

Awesome! No chance I'd be able to do that if there wasn't a WA

Thanks @long onyx for taking the time to explain this all to me! I raid tomorrow so hopefully I see some change after doing the things you said to do.

Practice on target dummies first. Especially the opening sequence. It's important to have combat start before clicking your opening sequence so you can taunt the target dummy to force combat to start
