Doing the first branch of LFR should be more then enough information for us to be able to assist you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Purrfect 0 Report post Posted January 11, 2015 First problem, your uptime with Savage Roar 80.35% is only 80% that has to be near 100% Talent choice is bad too, always take Incarnation over soul, that talent is useless. Also if you are going to cast healing touch, its better to take bloodtalon since you use the spell anyway, just try to cast HT at 4/5 combo points instead of 0 that you are doing now. If you manage to do those things you would see a significant amount increase in dps. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No, you use the instant cast from your finishing move, it has a long duration that you can use (12 seconds i believe) before it expires. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broloo 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 is it bad that i have too much mastery though? i know im suppose to stack crit but its not easy with the gear that i keep getting Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bradykin 16 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 (edited) had 2 runs with imp. Logs It would be better if we can have a log of a boss dieing, so we know that mechanics of the fight didn't screw you over. Can you do a first part of LFR queue? From this log, I can reitterate that you should be using Incarnation, not Soul of the Forest, and that your uptimes on bleeds need a lot of work, there is no reason for your bleeds to be so low. Your SR was fine (the above poster didn't see the SR buff that is applied at the beginning of the fight from engaging out of stealth, it's split into two parts. About your mastery level. it's unfortunate, but there is nothing you can do about it beyond enchanting/gemming properly so don't worry too much about it.

Bradykin 16 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 Looking at your kar'gath log, I am noticing two distinct problems, but everything else is good. 1: You should be using your cooldowns on the pull, not delayed. Here is how you should structure your opener (using the cooldowns): Prepull: Healing Touch on yourself Prepull: Stealth and position near boss On-pull: Rake Incarnation Shred Shred (If Heroism is used on the pull or OoC procced in the first couple seconds) Berserk+Tiger's Fury Shred to 5 combo points if not there Rip Shred to 5 combo points Ferocious Bite Rake Problem 2 is that you aren't using all of your bloodtalons buffs effectively. You procced PS 20 times, meaning that with the pre-cast healing touch you should have 21 BT buffs. However, you only had 15 on this fight. Make sure not to overlap them or let them fall off. However, I will note that for all of the BT buffs you used, you used very well, buffing many of your combo points moves. Other then that, you seem to have done fairly well.

Broloo 0 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 soo many changes i need to get use to them lol. what i did for my toon was i created a macro that used all cds at once as soon as i drop all energy first. im trying to keep up with BT but then i only have 3 points before i can cast HT and it drops. i need to find a way for energy management so i dont loose any buffs Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Holding it until 4-5 combo points gets easier with gear, but one main thing you can do to help is to pool energy before using a finishing move so you have that energy to push for the next one.

Krazyito 521 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 Brady: its time you learned how to check bloodtalon usage as well. (I.e. what spells consumed bloodtalons.) Go to Buffs -> Press the '+' button on blood talons. Then go to Casts and you'll probably see a bunch of shred casts on the graph. You want to clear that for now by clicking on the section for shred (not the spell name) which should clear the graph. Now you want to click 'Separate' until it becomes 'Main' Now I may be wrong, but I'm assuming that you want to cast Rip -> Rake or Rake -> Rip in most cases to consume bloodtalons correct? Load all the 'Rip' casts Everything that's either inside or right after the green section was casted under the bloodtalons buff. If you do the same thing with Rip by pressing the '+' button and then putting it into the main graph, you can get a bit of a finer detail. Lets zoom into one of these blood talon buffs Based on this, you can tell he did a rake first 1~ second after the buff was applied, and then a rip after wards. Click on other spells to see what else was casted in this time window. Looking at this one: He casted a rip about 7 seconds before his healing touch, then rake into FB. @Broloo: I'm not saying you're doing anything wrong, I'm just helping brady get better at using Warcraftlogs, so he can possibly help others more in detail in the future. @Brady: ask me if there is something specific you want to try to see in a log. Kinda hoping showing you this opens up ideas for other things you could look for. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bradykin 16 Report post Posted January 12, 2015 Thanks Krazy, i've been doing it manually in the casts section, just looking through it and seeing what was cast after each healing touch, it was a major pain in the ass. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
