General DPS Troubleshooting and WoL

Recommended Posts

So during 5.1 I got a really good feel for how to troubleshoot my DPS as afflcition by using world of logs. Most of what I learned was through reading posts Zagam, Gravyspasm and others made giving specific advice when they posted logs.

Now that I'm dabbling in other specs like Destro and Demo I find myself not sure what to look for in my logs to pick apart problem areas in my playstyle. I was wondering if we could get some basic, spec specific, guidelines for what to look for when reviewing our logs.

For example with Affliction the first things I'll look at are my DoT uptimes, Haunt uptimes, and DS usage. From there it varies based on the encounter, but those three usually give me a good idea of where I was losing potential damage.

So to not get long-winded here I'll stop and just ask, what do you guys look for when you review your logs when playing destruction, demonology and affliction?

Destruction:

Immolate uptime, Rain of Fire uptime, average Chaos Bolt hit

Demonology:

Shadowflame uptime, Molten Core procs = Soulfire uses, Doom uptime, Corruption uptime

So from your tips and quirks thread it looks like getting 30-40% uptime on shadowflame is the number i'm looking for. I missed that the first time browsing that thread. 100% on everything else is what I'll look for.

I'll have to find a way to test out what my max buffed Chaos Bolt damage looks like. I hadn't even considered checking average CB damage, but it makes sense to get get a picture of how much I'm likely not using it at peak buff/proc/CD times.

Good stuff, thanks Zagam. I'm still tinkering with which specs I want to sport through 5.2. I want tri-spec so badly. Blizz please?

@Gravy: If no mage to compete with, what do? I usually run with another warlock friend so I'll have to use him as my benchmark Posted Image

I don't even know what to think to hear two locks and no mage. Last time i saw something like that was heroic LK

Also maybe for destruction Havoc? As was mentioned in another thread, being able to peel off 2 chaos bolts/incinerates for the price of 1 ever 25s is pretty awesome.

      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!
