Well, its a double log review. both me and my friend wanted to ask a help with our dps. Mine's for prot and friend's fury with nickname Krayian. Could someone look it up for both of us. I was logging six bosses on hc and i don't want to make double post if that's fine. Thank you in advance. i dont mind about mine as much as my friend does so dps fury one is more important then me. Thanks ❤️

Prot review

You're not using shield block. This is the number one thing you need to fix. It is your main mitigation and a damage increase. You should aim for >90% uptime, your best is 36% on a council fight and for the other fights you hover at 15% or less. Frankly I'm surprised you got purple parses, but at least you prio spending shield slam and thunder blast over revenge.

Second issue is you're overcapping on rage, making the first issue ironic. This issue seems to take place mostly before you reach execute range, but you wasted so much rage on Araz and Soulbinder you could have got 80 seconds off your next avatar on those fights, resulting in a dmg loss.

Third issue is you're not using demoralizing shout! You have one cast across six fights! You even have the booming voice talent and you spec into Thunderlord for aoe fights, so why are you not using it? The only possible explanation I can come up with is you're using a copy paste build and never looked at the talents.

Fourth issue is like the third, you're not using shield charge! This is also part of your low shield block uptime.

Fifth issue is your opener, which, besides missing demo shout starts with a regular thunder clap, proceeded by avatar. On Fractillus you then thunder blast twice before dropping spear. This is how your opener should look like:

Charge
Taunt (during charge)
Avatar
Demoralizing Shout
Champion's Spear
Thunder Blast
Shield Charge

There is more, but at this point I am going to refer you to the Wowhead guide, read it top to bottom: https://www.wowhead.com/guide/classes/warrior/protection/overview-pve-tank

I hope you take this review with the constructive mindset it was intended. I promise if you fix this you will easily have all your parses in the epic range or higher.

Thank you very much. Prot is weirdest and hardest tank for me. tbh i was like sure to do better in dps we just ignore defesinves and blast targets with shield slam, executes and thunder blasts/claps XD warri is pretty much hardest tank i've ever played and the thing i did 85 on one of those suprises me too. Also log from araz is bad cuz my co tank was trolling and taking add to araz so he was immune and it got confused this fight like 15 times. I appriciate your honesty and i will try my best next time. Just need to redo all my binds cause warri has so much to click that this makes my dps even harder. Thanks again ❤️

Fury Review:
there's a lot of problems going on. For starters, I checked the linked fractillus kill. On this kill your friend did not do the correct opener. causing him to be forced to click 2x raging blow before being able to rampage the first time. He clicked avatar before combat start and he also didn't bladestorm after the initial rampage. Very unoptimized gameplay in this regard, as if he didn't check any of the guides.

Would you like me to pinpoint more specific things on what to improve or will double and triple checking the wowhead guide suffice?

Cause I'd essentially be putting the wowhead rotation guide into words

(i just noticed that he waits to do his first bladestorm until he gets 3x imminent demise, that's incredibly dogpoop to do)

[young dawn]

Thank you, will ask him if he want to rely on just wowhead

Yeah, if it wont bother you much pinpoint specifics would be appriciated mate

ait np lemme write something out

The optimal opener is
combat start (important) -> recklessness -> charge -> avatar -> rampage -> bladestorm -> raging blows until enrage falls off -> rampage

You can make this opener very easy by simply creating an opener macro, it looks like this:

/cast Charge
/cast Avatar```
The order is important. Click this ***after*** combat starts and you will consistently have 80 rage to immediately enrage yourself with Rampage when you arrive at the target.

Rotationally, he clicks thunderous roar too much. Thunderous roar is a solid button to press in AoE but it's incredibly dogpoop in pure single target situations. Priority wise, in pure single target, we want to press raging blow as our generator the most, next in line is execute without the weakaura conditions, afterwards is bloodthirst and beneath all of those is thunderous roar. So in essence, we only ever click thunderous roar when everything else is on cooldown. 

Since i mentioned it already, we dont press execute arbitrarily. We [use a weakaura]([#1237307732705415228 message](/guild/148872210742771712/channel/1237307732705415228/)) that kachings and lights up whenever we reeeeeallly want to click execute based on like 4 or something different conditionals. It's so we don't waste resources or let buffs fall off. If he isn't using it already, which im guessing he isn't, he should probably use it because it's not feasible for the guy to optimize this many conditionals at once when he's still learning other optimizations of the spec. It's a weakaura that takes heavy load off the brain so we can concentrate on important things like mechanics type shiii

An optimization that we want to do, which is already shown in the optimal opener, is that we want to combine brutal finish and slaughtering strikes. Two different talents that cause us to get a thicccccckkkk rampage after every bladestorm.
What this means is that after bladestorm, despite being at max rage already, we want to click Raging Blow while enraged, we do not want to Rampage immediately. Important: If the execute weakaura does its kaching thing and lights up, it is even higher priority to press after bladestorm.

that might look like this:

What happens here is that I combine recklessness with bladestorm, bladestorm auto-casts bloodthirsts due to the unhinged talent, during bladestorm my execute weakaura dings so i click execute followed up by as many raging blows as possible while enraged before clicking rampage

Another optimization that is deemed to be important is that we want to click Avatar, Recklessness and Bladestorm on cooldown with some exceptions.
If your bladestorm is ready, it is an optimization to hold bladestorm for ava or reck if recklessness has a 15sec or lower cooldown or avatar has an 8sec or lower cooldown.

For AoE damage, we want to have bladestorm ready in the beginning of every AoE situation/m+ pack/add spawns/etc because bladestorm applies Overwhelmed to the targets hit, which enabled our 2set and 4set. The difference in damage is crazy high whenever we don't have that applied.

then it's the natural whirlwind -> 4x single target spells -> whirlwind -> 4x single target spells -> repeat rotation

That's all i can think of off rip, hope this helps a lil @young dawn
