Hey, can anyone give advice here. My guild is progressing on heroic brood and I feel like we are def doing something wrong. Overall hps seems higher than most parses (95-99) so I don’t think it’s necessary a throughput issue. Are we failing for not enough dispels are is something else going on? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Jp2TqdG3f87FH4PY/ I’m snapdragana here

So the deathlogs for pulls 9 and 14 in P2 suggest that Wildfire and Empowered Greatstaff are killing y'all. Greatstaff is a stacking soft enrage and it looks like your raid DPS is a touch low (to kill comfortably I think you'd want people to be around 35k on average?) so that could be preventing you from claiming the kill, even though you got to P2.
In P1 it looks like your egg-staff handlers are messing things up from time to time - on pull 3 they didn't break an egg which hatched and spawned an add which didn't get pulled towards the add tank, on pull 14 they broke it too early (before the 10s Clutchwatcher's Rage faded) and got one shot. I didn't look at many others but make sure they know the egg mechanics

And as someone who is a holy priest main and has a resto alt... I can say the other healers' gameplay is not ideal (that's why their parses are grey). If I had to speculate they may have had experience in past expansions, but are not making the use of current talent interactions. Because healing is a team effort - one person can only carry so much HPS - helping the others to get better will relieve a lot of pressure off the evoker. A summary for things they could do in order to progress:
The holy priest would need to optimise their rotation. Their build is optimised for using Circle of Healing which is great and they are using that spell reasonably well; but they should be casting it more, as much as possible, and then following that up with a window of Prayer of Healing spam instead of flash heal and other various casts. Ideally they shouldn't be casting nearly that much PW:Shield at all, Shield is sadly a Disc thing in Dragonflight. They should also consider using the Halo talent (which is pretty automatic and tends to hit the whole raid) if they do not feel that Divine Star is giving them enough value to press it. Also, excellent use of Power Word Life to triage and their Holy Words and Raid CDs like Hymn.
Resto druid - I'm retracting some of this (on 13 Feb) because I suspect parts of it may not be as accurate as I thought, but I still think that Efflorescence use is probably slightly low, and Regrowth probably a bit high. As before, cooldowns were good though.
I'll be honest, I have no idea what the holy paladin is doing (haven't played it) but I suspect they need to use Avenger's Wrath more to generate more Holy Power. [it was a bit inconsistent]
I realise that you probably came here for evoker advice (to be clear, they're doing absolutely fine), and by the looks of it, it's a learner or casual raid group so I don't want to be too harsh, you have to have the right expectations when working with that sort of thing. But hopefully this advice and feedback will still point you and your raiders in the right direction (without being too blunt about it) and I hope to hear of success from your guild in the future!

Thank you very much for doing such a thorough breakdown, it’s incredibly helpful. I’ll definitely be discussing with my guild the mechanics you pointed out and hopefully that’ll lead us to a victory. For context though I am the evoker and if you saw anything gameplay wise I could improve on i’d be happy to hear it (already aware from reviewing I should pay more attention to egg breakers). I’m also going to look into having a couple set CDs for the bad overlaps that got us a few times to try and ease pressure a bit there. Thank you 🙏

Sorry, yes - to go over things briefly, all the obvious checkboxes for pres are ticked - good amount of Dream Breath, Spiritbloom, Rewind/DreamFlight/Communion casts, and a few big ticks of Lifebind. I didn't drill into what you loaded into Stasis but it seems to be working and mana seems decently well managed. Overall pretty solid logs.
The only simple throughput I can really suggest to you is maybe space out your echoes and reversions a bit more pre-emptively so you're not overcapping charges/essence, and for defensives, make sure you're using Renewing Blaze aggressively during any raid-wide AoE, even if you don't think you're at risk of dying. A talent swap towards this that you could make was that you didn't appear to use Quell (the interrupt), so maybe it's even worth taking the reduced CD for Renewing Blaze instead. But I think overall you're doing quite well!

Excellent advice, I do underuse renewing blaze. Also thanks for pointing out talents, I’m usually on add group and didn’t change out my interrupt and honestly didn’t even occur to me at all. I did find myself essence capped a lot as well so I’m gonna try and work on that. Thanks again for your feedback
