Enhancement - Improving DPS

Recommended Posts

Hi there!
I'm currently not very satisfied with my DPS which you can see in these logs for HC: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/8gwBmrzRDt7HF3X4/#boss=-2&type=damage-done
and here is my Character: http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/character/stormscale/Urshák/advanced

My Rotation is:
Feral Lunge - to close gaps
Maintain Boulderfist and Flametongue Buffs
Cast Boulderfist to generate Maelstrom
Spamming the shit out of Stormstrike every time I can :D
When Boulderfist and Stormstrike are on CD i'll use Lava Lash (and Crash Lightning when there are more targets)
Cast Doom Winds, Feral Spirits and Blood Fury everytime I can
(- Hope I didn't forget anything)


Could you help me with my Rotation and/or can you give me some advice on how to improve my DPS.
Would be very awesome, because I don't have the knowledge to figure out what I'm doing wrong or how to improve.

Thanks in advance :)

Cheers!

Your main mistake is talent choice my friend. You should use Hailstorm instead of haste buff (can't remember the name sorry.) Hailstorm is our main dps recourse with Stormstrike. Your rotation seens okay. You should maintain your Frostbrand and Flame on boss every second. You should change your trinkets as much as possible use your rerolls on ursoc and ilgynoth for trinkets (and pray to god =) ) You will be quickly see the difference when you start to use Hailstorm. Try to stack Mastery as much as you can. Good luck on your progress.

You are close but missing some key elements to your rotation. There is a third buff you must keep up and that is your frost brand. Also use crash lightning no matter the circumstances as with the talent you have it will leave a electrified spot on the ground that damages the enemy standing in it. Overall nice job if you need anymore help please contact me.

Thank you for your advice :) Yeah got pretty bad luck with my trinkets :D 
My friend told me that I wont lose any damage with the Haste buff...i guess he's wrong :) Will change that!

Okay, I thought Crash Lightning wasn't so important for a boss fight...I will change that and the Frostbrand/Hailstorm buff in the next encounter :)
Thank you too for your advice :)

Indeed, Hailstorm accounts for a lot of your total damage done. Usually (for me) the Hailstorm damage is about 15-17% of my total damage done. If you keep the buff up for the majority of the fight you will immediately see a great increase in damage. Of course, aim for 100% uptime, but 95%+ is good. You have plenty of haste to spare even without the Ancestral Swiftness talent.

Hey,

Indeed, I highly recommend you to take the Hailstorm talent, in single target fight you'll do almost as much dmg with it than your Stormstrike this is huge ! Also I'm not a big fan of Feral Lunge in a raid situation, since it burns one gcd (global cooldown) when you can just start your fight with Flametongue for example, since it has a big range. Try the totem it is great in most raid fight :)

Also I think you should focus more on Mastery instead of Haste, it is just broken with the right enchants/trinkets (for instance, the Satyr Neck Enchant does Fire damage it's insanely strong).

Ancestral Swiftness is the talent to take when you are laughably overgeared and it doesn't matter.  Take it to Timewalking dungeons or normal Mythics to get your world quest done. It accelerates the damage you do, especially with large trash packs. On more difficult content, Frostbrand is going to perform better.

Yeah, I took Feral Lunge out of laziness :D
 I had the Wind Rush Totem at first but most of the time I forgot about it or the raid didn't made use of the bonus.
Okay, I'm focusing on Mastery right now but never got lucky to get the perfect stats on my items.
And thanks for the enchant tip :)

 

Thank you all for your advice :) I have changed my talents so far and trying to implement these tips in my rotation :)

If you got any other advices of what kind ever - I'm willing to take it :P

I actually enjoy Feral Lunge, but which talent you choose should depend on the fight. On Nythendra, Ilgynoth, Cenarius, Xavius, and Ursoc I usually use Feral Lunge. It helps me to either get back on the boss fast at certain times, or reach adds quickly.

The speed totem is an excellent talent overall though. Invaluable on fights like Elrethe to help your raid get out of the way when she drops down again. So make a judgement call!

The speed totem is also amazing in Withered Training. You leave them behind if you use Ghost Wolf form, but with the Wind Rush buff they all keep up with you. :>

 Hailstorm is definitely one of the best abilities you can take.  until I began my tweaking process, my hailstorm wias my third highest generated DPS outputs.

 

 I then tried a haste build and was able to successfully get it to 33%, with a 54% mastery.   DPS output failed miserably. Lost about 30 K damage.

 

 I then began to maintain as recommended per this site 65% haste rating of total mastery level.  DPS output was slightly above average shaman in my ILVL

 

 last night, I sacrificed all my haste to mastery. I rolled in with a 76% mastery, 15% haste.  changed gems, changed enchants and a few pieces of gear

 

 DPS output is as follows

normal mode

Pretty funny parse there, with the Holy Priest DPS and class stacking. Of course you're going to see nice numbers if the fight only lasts a minute and a half and half the raid is crazy burst types. :D

Also remember to eat your pepper breath food. I see a lot of shamans not doing this and missing out on a huge dps increase.

The damage proc from Drogbar-style Salmon (pepper breath) doesn't scale with Enhancement's mastery, so you're taking a big hit in dps if you're using this over Mastery food.

      As the title already said I'm needing help understanding how to make the build like the guide says, i somehow need to get the full set bonus of bones of Rathma but i also need the full Captain Crimson's trimmings bonus for cd reduction i can get that with ring of royale grandeur but i also need to use fate's vow helm but if i use it i cant get the full Bones of Rathma set bonus or Captain Crimson's trimmings bonus. 
      If anyone know how i can get that build to work please say how, I'm open to any suggestions.
      Link to the guide I'm  talking about: https://www.icy-veins.com/d3/necromancer-rathma-army-of-the-dead-build
      (this is my first post on icy-veins and i don't fully understand if I'm doing this right)

      <Fun is for Casuals> is a serious but casual horde guild on US-Hyjal. We are serious about raiding without the intense hours. Even when recruitment status is none, we will accept exceptional applications for all classes.
      Our raid times are Tuesday and Thursday from 5:30PM to 8:30PM server (PST) with raid invitations sent out a few minutes prior to that.
      We're interested in you if you fit the following criteria:
      Raid attendance is essential. We don't want people sitting on the bench but we also want to make sure we're raiding 6 hours per week. We expect you to be available for at least 90% of our raids. Be on time and prepared for raids. This includes flasks and other consumables. Discord is mandatory and a working mic is desired. You're appropriately geared for our current content. Effort and thought have been put into your gear/gem/enchant choices. You wouldn't show up for a job interview looking like a *filtered*, why would you apply to a guild with improper gems or some insane spec? You're up to date with your class. We expect our raiders to perform to the best of their abilities. You have a computer that's not run with hamster power or requires a hand crank. Some encounters are taxing on a computer's resources so if your toon can't even handle Orgrimmar it's not likely to do well with 20+ whelps that need AOE'ing. You may be interested in us because:
       <Fun is for Casuals> uses the personal loot system. There is no loot council, or DKP. We won't eat your babies the first time you stand in something you have no business being in. Repeatedly do it and we'll break out the bibs and BBQ sauce. We provide a limited amount of consumables and flasks on hard mode raid nights.  Discord isn't a circus during raids. We're focused on the job at hand and you should be too. We don't want someone to miss a an interrupt because they were distracted by fart jokes. We are not interested in you if you fit the following criteria:
      You roll on BoE items then sell them. Unwilling/unable to spend an entire evening on one boss during progression. While this is rare, it can happen. Drama queens. If you have a problem bring it up to E. This is his job. Don't announce it in guild chat or during a raid. Your issue will have nothing to do with 99% of the guild. You are 17 or younger. We try to keep guild and discord chat PG-13 but occasionally a few four letter words appear out of nowhere. Additionally, we don't want someone's mom interrupting their raiding to get homework or the dishes done. Follow the instructions at https://gow.gg/fun-is-for-casuals under the Recruitment tab if you would like to apply.

      Welcome Adventurers! The time has come upon us, FINALLY! The moment in Classic WoW history us diehard, loyal WoW nerds have all been waiting for. WRATH CLASSIC! Arthas Did Nothing Wrong (ADNW) has just begun recruiting (For WotLK Classic) hard-core, casual, rp, pvp, pve, raiders, anything you can think of, you are welcomed here. Although our main focus in ADNW will be progressive raiding, 10 and 25 man and pvp content, we look to have someone for just about anything. Currently we are recruiting for our CORE 10M team composed entirely of irl / internet homies. We are in need of just 1 HEALER (Highly prefer a disc priest with a shadow off spec) and another DPS. Preferably lock or Shadow priest. We are looking to fill our B 10m team entirely, so we can pool together for 25 man’s when it comes time to crush 25m. This guild was founded by a group of tight nit friends recently, who have been around since TBC. WOTLK was our turning point in WoW, and we CANNOT wait to get another crack at this and MAKE IT RIGHT. Come join the adventure of a chill environment full of helpful hands and knowledge. Feel free to reach out to me Via Discord: Daevilmonkiexp#9239 OR Bnet: Daevilmonkie#1280 just let me know you are interested in the guild and we can have a convo! ARTHAS DID NOTHING WRONG!

      I am going the corpselance support build for Necromancer and the build has me taking Corpselance with Brittle and the pestilence set on top of that, if I were to take off the ability Corpselance and change it to another ability say for example Bone Spikes with Frost spikes, would the damage decrease an amount that it would not be worth it?

      Hi Team
      I am recently returning from a few years away from the game and I have decided to go back to my much loved main throughout wrath, the feral druid. I have always been a cut above the rest and managed to be top dps all through wrath. 
      I was reading your guide and noticed in the talents you don't take savage roar. Can you explain the match behind this as to me it seems like the more viable option.
