woah, nelly, that's a lot of revenge casts

#

So it looks like you're missing a lot of SS resets or not properly sending all 3 when the proc that gives you 3 back to back shield slams drops or something, since your shield slam CPM is pretty low

#

which is probably making your revenge casts gain stonks

#

Since you need to fill those globals with something

#

You also have some dismally low shield block uptime; even if there's not much in this raid that's blockable, it still mitigates the melees from enemies and makes shield slam do more damage

#

So you should still aim to have shield block up as much as possible

#

It really looks like you're heavily overprioritizing revenge in general

#

Even just on your opener, once all your CDs dropped, you had this sequence:

First off, SS is higher prior than Blast in ST unless it's buffed with the 4P, which requires having pressed Thunder Blast before in general. You can play the funny reset game by trying to gamble extra charges by swapping between Blast and SS when you havce stacks, sure, but I don't think that's what's going on here. It'll be a relatively minor optimization over time for your current state, at least, so I wouldn't worry about it that much.

#

More of note is that the next GCD following Shield Slam, you sent Revenge

#

avatar, with unstoppable force, makes it so Thunder Clap/Blast can be used every other GCD, so you 100% could have sent your other blast right then and there instead of revenge

#

Your main improvement point would be to recenter yourself on Prot War's basic priority, which is SS > TC/TB > Revenge. If you focus on that alone, you'll likely see some big improvements right up front as Colossus

#

That'll leave you with more rage to maintain Shield Block, giving more damage, and you'll also end up sending more rage on IP as well to fuel anger management for more CD uses and just general survival

Yep, there's more you can optimize later on, like outburst usage, but it's better to orient yourself on the base track first off, wso you'll see some big gains on your damage as you do so.

#

You'll also likely end up feeling much more comfy with your rage economy, letting you send more executes near the end of the fight, as well
