[Frost] Low DPS - What am I missing?

Recommended Posts

Evening fellow spell chuckers!

Logs (Entire HC Farm Raid)

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/RPZK8MngjtWTAzry#boss=-2&difficulty=0&type=damage-done&source=2

- Armoury Link

https://worldofwarcraft.com/en-gb/character/argent-dawn/arcere

- Rotation

Icy Veins recommended (Glacial Spike). Talents as seen in Armoury.

- Issue

Disparity between fights, parsing blue on some and green on others and general underperformance DPS-wise.

Not very talented with Logs Analysis I will be honest, but I have oftentimes fewer casts which could be attributed to moving too much/panicking during mechanics and sometimes the spells appear to not hit as hard by average.

Some suspect some fights hold my lower than normal FPS as a partial contributor to my low DPS, but I am certain it's purely a rotational/skill combination error on my part, or not utilizing my tools as I should.

I run Shard of Exodar and Sephuz as it is the best combination according to SimCraft and I have optimized the gear with what I have using the same tool.

Shattercapped (by far, a little too far) and Haste approx 35%.

 

Please send help, as I am breaking my brain with what I am doing wrong! 

 

Thank you in advance!

Ran your Goroth log through WoWAnalyzer. It's not a perfect tool, but please check out the recommendations. They give you a few areas to work on:

  • You cast Ice Lance 6 times (17.14%) without Shatter. Make sure that you are only casting Ice Lance when the target has Winter's Chill (or other Shatter effects), if you have a Fingers of Frost proc, or if you are moving and you cant cast anything else.

    17.14% missed (<10.00% is recommended)

  • You cast Flurry without Brain Freeze 1 times. You should never hard cast Flurry.

    1 casts (Casting none is recommended)

  • You failed to Ice Lance into 4 Winter's Chill (1.5 missed per minute). Make sure you cast Ice Lance after each Flurry to benefit from Shatter.

    4 Winter's Chill not shattered with Ice Lance (0 is recommended)

  • You failed to Frostbolt, Glacial Spike, or Ebonbolt into 3 Winter's Chill (1.1 missed per minute). Make sure you hard cast just before each instant Flurry to benefit from Shatter.

    3 Winter's Chill not shattered with Frostbolt, Glacial Spike, or Ebonbolt (0 is recommended)

  • Try to cast Ebonbolt more often.

    3 out of 4 possible casts; 83.46% cast efficiency (>90.00% is recommended)

Just a couple of things: Gear overall seems fine. Stats look good. However, any reason why you chose those two legos? Shard is perfect, but I would highly recommend Mag's bracers. It's a huge dps increase over your other ring. Only other issue I see is are trinkets. Bonus roll on Mistress / Sisters as often as possible. They drop your 2 bis trinkets. You should at least have had one drop by now.

Have you considered TV instead of glacial spike? I've ran GS several times and TV just feels better for me. You might enjoy it more and notice a pretty big dps increase. That said, legos and trinkets are your only issues from gear.

Edit: No idea why simcraft is telling you to run the two rings. They are definitely not BIS option together. Shard is, and your other should either be the bracers or helm. Just ran you through AMR and its showing just about any other lego is siming better than sephuz for you.

Could be that he has miscalculated - Sephuz is incredibly powerful, even BiS, if you can proc it (Host, Sassz'ine).

      Hello everyone,
      Last patch gave us 40% and 10% damage increase on ray of frost and glacial spike
      Does anyone know of these changes make them relevant ?
      Should frost mage play with these or one of these now ?

      <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!

      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.

      <Tempest> of Khaz'goroth/Dath'remar is recruiting!
      We are a laid back 21+ guild based in Australia for the most part. We understand that some don't have a large amount of time to commit to raiding due to real life commitments- jobs, kids, hassles etc 😛
      Because of this we are dedicated to providing a stress free raiding environment 2 days per week in addition to an active social community. 
      Social apps are available for all classes and levels! If this sounds like the guild for you please contact us!
      Previous tier progression was 1/7M and 3/3H
      Raiding info:
      We raid from 8pm sharp server time Sundays and Wednesdays for 3 hours and predominantly use loot council for loot distribution.
      Recruitment openings: 
      1x Tank- any class - must also be comfortable dpsing
      DPS with healing offspecs
      -WW Monk
      -Shadow Priest
      -Ret Paladin
      -Enh or Ele Shaman
      -Feral or boomkin druid
      We would also consider the following DPS classes without a healing OS
      DH
      warlock
      rogue
      DK
      druid
      We will of course give consideration to those who fall outside our recruitment needs if you think you may be a good fit for Tempest.
      If this sounds like you, or you would like some more info please pst or mail Aereth (Aereth#1439).
