kaynu 2 Report post Posted September 24, 2016 (edited) Hello Shamans So after a Heroic Nythendra I reviewed my logs and i'm questioning my damage and what i'm not doing incorrectly. First off, here's the log https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/T9vMG2617DhPJmH4# Secondly, my armory http://us.battle.net/wow/en/character/proudmoore/Kaynu/advanced I find myself to be struggling to hit 210k dps. After examining other shamans via logs, i seem to be hitting a tad weaker then some, and i'll point out my SS casts are lacking. Some Shamans are getting in 65+ SS per encounter where i can only seem to hit mid 40's. I even enchanted and shamans who wreck me are not. Rotation is based off the recommended as per this website. Can anyone pick apart what the hell it is i'm doing wrong. Thanks Edited September 24, 2016 by kaynu typo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valks 2,375 Report post Posted September 24, 2016 At a first glance: Your Frostbrand uptime is fairly low, 87% vs. a possible 95%+ Boulderfirst/Landslide uptime of 90% vs. a possible 95%+ No potion seems to really hurt you, since the Potion of Old War can do up like 4-7% of your damage. Mark of the Hidden Satyr on your neckpiece could be another 2-3%. How far into your artifact are you? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kaynu 2 Report post Posted September 25, 2016 I'm 20 in , made a terrible mistake and went the wrong route taking Doom vortex. I decided to respec and went the recommended route and picked up unleash doom, but missing storm flurry. Im still only hitting 200-220, instead of 190. Significant increase but not the number I'm looking for. Also installed tell me when hoping this reminds me to keep my buffs up. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What do you think (if even a factor) is to why my SS proc's are significantly fewer than better output shamans? Mastry is now at 70% buffed. Can't understand why it feels like it's never up Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you have Stormflurry in your artifact yet? If not, this could be why. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valks 2,375 Report post Posted September 25, 2016 Also, there's a few traits you won't have that increase your Haste etc., which means more auto attacks, which means more chances to proc the reset. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Funny thing is , I'm soft capped. im at 17% haste. It boggles my mind. At one point I was at 20% haste, and 58% mastery. I changed that to 17% haste, 62% mastery. Which is now 17% haste, 66% mastery. Maybe I just suck lol Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Valks 2,375 Report post Posted September 25, 2016 Just now, kaynu said: that's next, need 21 Definitely could be a factor? I'm not sure how the logs tracks the extra hit and whether it counts as another "cast" of it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shockzalot 0 Report post Posted September 26, 2016 So I havent really studied logs before, but i pull about 260k+ dps atm on my shaman and from what i can tell you certainly need to put frostbrand on straight away. your burst is lacking immensley. I do 700k burst on a good pull but it doesnt look like you cast frostbrand until 28 seconds into the fight? Its top 3 damage. you only do fire first because its ranged and takes no maelstrom My rotation on CD is: Potion and Feral spirit at about 3 seconds Flametongue on walk up at 1 second Boulderfirst (only need 1 Feral spirits will fill maelstrom as well as doom wind) Frost Brand Crash lightning (increases Stormstrike dmg and seems to have a high chance for me to proc Stormbringer) Doom winds StormStrike From there i use stormbringers or Lava lash depending on proc while mainting Boulderfist and Frostbrand I don't worry about flametongue if i have a good run of stormbringer procs but i will stop to put on frostbrand on boulderfist Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
