Very Low DPS

[Mirouku 0]

Hi All!

I need some advice because of my very low dps in Nighthold, and I don't undestand what am I doing so wrong :(

SimDPS says that I must do around 600k while i'm doing 450k/500k and always the last dps of my runs...

Any help would be really appreciate :)

Hmmm, there are several things that look weird. Looking at Krosus, which is basically single target, Aimed Shot is only 37% of your damage. If you look at the logs from top hunters, Aimed Shot is more than 60% if their damage, so clearly the issue is with Aimed shot.

It's hard to tell exactly what you're doing just from logs, but you're clearly hitting at least a few Aimed Shots out of Vulnerable, since the minimum damage was 233k for hit and 420k for a crit.

Your ratio of Marked shot to Aimed shots is terrible. You should be shooting less than half as many Marked Shots than Aimed shots on single target, but you shot 37 Marked Shots and 46 Aimed Shots. Given the length of the fight, I believe you should have been able to shoot a lot more AImed shots than that.

You also shoot way too many Arcane Shots, so I'm assuming that Focus regen is giving you trouble. It may be worth looking into that. Perhaps you need more Haste? I don't know if better legendaries would affect that.

Some good points there; however, with the legendary ring it's expected to use more marked shots than normal. But definitely agree, your aimed shot damage in comparison to everything else was ridiculously low. Granted; if you compare your attempt to the top parses, they have the best legendaries so they of course get more out of their aimed shots.

But your arcane shot usage was ridiculously high in comparison to aimed shot, you want to never spend time in focus cap, even if you have to use an aimed shot before focus capping just to drop it back down a bit, that's going to be better than sitting on focus cap for ages.

Your opening rotation is seeming to be way off; you only managed to peak at 1m dps; at your ilvl it should be a lot closer to at least 1.5 if not 2m. Your opener sets up the start of the fight; try and practice the one outlined on the MM guide a few times before your next raid and that should make a huge difference.

I know the above website has its disadvantages in that it calculates the absolute maximum casts you can have, but you missed a LOT and I mean a LOT of aimed shots, and almost a THIRD of your windbursts.

You need to be casting Windburst almost on cooldown to get as much uptime on Vulnerable as possible; you missed 6 out of a possible maximum 17 assuming you cast it on cooldown every time. That's 6 lots of vulnerable uptime you could have had.

Your patient sniper usage is way off; you want to ideally cast 2-3 aimed shots in the duration of vulnerable, with the last cast going off at <1 sec left on Vulnerable. Do yourself a favour and memorise the MM guide and have it open in another window or write it down and practice it over and over and over again.
