Character: Leorïck-Stormrage

I am looking to improve my play to do big dam and get more comfortable with the hero tree. I feel like thane is really spammy and I know I am wasting rage because of it.

I've been trying to maintain using my SS and SB uptime and hitting T Blast on cd as much as I can as well. But I believe I suffer the most when I can either execute and don't or I do it too much and I am not reliably able to keep up with my rage generation.

I know wow analyzer is not updated but it did give me some insight into how much rage I was wasting and since yesterday I have been working to waste less. I think on average of the logs I looked at prior to yesterday's raid I was around 25% and last night I think I was closer to 15% changing how I played.

So for your M+ performance

Primary issue is that you are wasting a lot of rage, largely through lack of IP use and execute use. This is where most of your dps loss comes from

#

Second most obvious issue is you are sending violent outburst on shield slam more often than blast.

Your general usage (not using it on clap) is decent, but in a key I would expect the majority of your time to be in 3+ target scenarios so sending it on slam over blast in AOE is going to eat a lot of your damage

#

Last major dps downfall I see is your boss damage is looking pretty thin, mostly this is getting good usage of thunderblast procs in your feedback loop, it also looks like youre missing a lot of shield slam procs when you get to bosses

#

try to focus on full sending that on pure single

#

Execute usage on bosses is also very low - for example on the second boss you only pressed execute once, vs my 16 times

#

Defensively, your shield block uptime is relatively low (73%) - but your blocked hit incidence is good - i would expect 85-88% in dawnbreaker

There we go, thanks

glacial vine
#

you're really not far off - if you focus on using all of your rage through execute and playing your thunderblast procs correctly I think you'll see a pretty good uptick in your damage

#

raid is largely the same, just focus on getting rage expenditure and execute usage

#

Another question, there are times I see I have thunderblast but Avatar is coming off CD or just did. Do I hold Avatar to use those thunderblasts then send it or just pop Avatar again? Cuz I have noticed that a number of times but usually send it anyway.

glacial vine
#

its almost impossible to spend them all

#

you want to make sure you spend your procs first and not send avatar at 2 but if youve got one up sometimes it cant be helped

#

you dont want to hold avatar too long

#

a few seconds

#

rage waste is really your primary issue - to put it into perspective we generated roughly the same amount of rage but you wasted 30 times more than me

rich rock
#

Ok sometimes I can get one or two TB off before I send Avatar again if it stacks up but sometimes its on cd and I know I won't have enough time between gcds to get them off so I hit Avatar when it comes up and it resets the cooldown.

Did some more dungeons, I think either priory or gambit I swapped away from the IP + SS macro to see if I was unintentially using it as my way to drain rage and hit SS at the same time. And i remember it feeling really bad but also I think I did even worse in that one specifically.

I don't feel like I am making much progress because I am always 1500+ rage wasted and my casts are even lower than other people by a large margin. So I am not sure if the trash is just not lasting as long or I am casting too much other shit instead. Which is weird because I have been staring at my rage bar + SS and TC and hitting them as often as I can while trying to dump rage into IP or execute.

I am going to try some more keys tomorrow and hopefully swapping my buttons back to where I had them before this season started will help.

so for example in your eco

#

If you look at this 10 second period, you were at 100 rage the entire time

#

you only cast 1 ignore pain

#

IP is off the global, so you can send it at the same time as other skills

#

So it really just boils down to small things like this, that add up over the course of a key to a lot of rage wasted

#

we only have so many fingers

#

but try not to think of ignore pain as a separate global, it can be cast with other abilities

#

that being said your damage is not "low"

#

This one confused me a little at first glance because its during a time when I was gathering mobs after the first boss it looks like. Where you run down the steps > tag the sentinel and then I leap to other mobs and grab that 2 pack.

But I see what you mean I guess, if I am not focused on using my rage while gathering and just spending globals on abilities that generate rage for threat. Then that adds to the waste that I see at the end of the log.

glacial vine
#

rage expenditure is very important especially during gather bc getting outburst up for blast is a lot of damage

#

also helps with threat

#

Now i just need to do better in M+

you'll also notice as your rage waste goes down, your damage goes up
