You ran something with Ghosttauren?!? He's still around?

Back in the early days of BC when Kara was srz bznz and the heroics were actually somewhat difficult he was one of the 3-4 best hunters on the server, IMO. He's take multiple breaks from WoW since then and I haven't seen him in a very long time. Didn't realize he was back.

I wasnt talking about you by any means, i know for sure a certain warlock and a certain warrior dont do 5k dps.

Duece can do 5k dps as long as he doesn't d/c about 10 times during a fight.

/combatlog is your friend.

Side rant: Let's not keep encouraging people for recount screenshots. Especially on training dummies. It's serviceable for "I can mash buttons" but worthless for gauging raid aptitude. Screenshots should be the last resort for people that can't raid for whatever reason. Though one side benefit is that it's easy to see the clickers and their hideous UIs.

I do so love seeing new hunter and warlock apps. /popcorn and wait for Sobe to respond

I dunno, it gets to be the same old song and dance after a while. Next huntard that apps I might just reply only by quoting myself from other huntard apps.

I don't think any sort of combat log could show a raiders prowess, only their DPS. As it stands, if you want to see how I raid you'll have to raid with me.

Some things I noticed last night:

Life tap (http://worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-0d45lpb2...321/?enc=bosses)

Sobe - 58
Korat - 33
Nuadaa - 18

The life tap glyph is only worthwhile if you're keeping the buff up. It's a pretty remarkable buff too, I get about 130 sp from it in 25s. The numbers are a bit skewed since I stayed alive longer (another issue entirely) but I still had about twice as many taps as Korat and 3 times as many as Nuadaa.

I'd suggest using some sort of timer to keep track of when you need to tap. You can set up your buff bars in a highly visible space, use dot timers, powa, etc. I use powa to pop up the word "Tap" in red letters if the buff isn't active. I also use a frame in EBB to show me how much time is left - it lets me plan ahead in case I need to move or tweak my rotation on the fly.

Keep in mind that even if you don't need the mana, you should still tap. Switch to rank 1 if you don't need the mana, your healers will appreciate it. If you're taking big damage (Mimiron) or if there's a funny mechanic to the fight (Vezax) you should always use rank 1.

If you're still struggling to keep the buff up, switch to glyph of immolate; it'll simplify the rotation and give you more dps.

Spell prioritization (Sobe/Korat/Nuadaa - % of personal damage)
Incinerate - 46.9 / 39 / 53
Conflag - 17.4 / 20.6 / 16.3
CB - 13 / 15.2 / 13.7
Immo - 12.7 / 20.4 / 14.8

Korat you should be squeezing in more incinerates while other spells are on CD. Our haste ratings are similar (441 vs 442) but your ratio of incinerates are low. You also seem to be clipping Immolates, make sure you refresh just as it runs out or even a second after.

Nuadaa you have the opposite problem. You have more haste than Korat and I so you'll naturally have a higher proportion of incinerates. Accounting for that you're still casting incinerate while you have higher damage spells off CD. In particular, your number of conflags is way too low (see further below).

Dot uptime (Sobe/Korat/Nuadaa)

CoD hits - 16 / 0 / 3
CoA ticks - 74 / 0 / 20

Korat was casting CoE again. If Bearforceone or Charlagain are in the raid, you don't need to. Even if they're not, I wouldn't bother on mobs with low hp (Guardians in P1 of Yogg die quickly enough, use the GCD doing something else).

As for Nuadaa, I'm guessing it's more of mashing incinerates instead of using all the spells. If you want a less complicated rotation, roll mage.

DPS time (Sobe/Korat/Nuadaa - # of hits)

Incinerate - 376 / 187 / 242
Conflag - 121 / 72 / 61
CB - 87 / 53 / 50
Immo - 106 / 85 / 63

Stay alive, stay on target, always be casting. You guys barely out-DPSed the tanks on a night where we had 4 attempts on lolVezaxhax.

Dude, the Always Sunny sig pic is tremendous, following the old one.

Someday, I'm going to convince the officers to make a combatlog report a requirement for apps. Can't figure out how to do it? You probably don't know how to research your class either.

Hell, Recount is harder to use, IMO, since it requires getting a mod installed. The log is built into the game, and the parser is just an upload to a website.

In a 10-man? Was he actually DPSing well enough to pull or was it a shitty tank? Where's the log at yo.

Solar, on Oct 23 2009, 05:27 PM, said:

he didn't FD once it seemed he was only doing around 3k dps which is sort of pitiful for his gear, yeah the tan kwasn't great, but we had two paladins, could've called for salv.

Hunters should never get salv, they get a complete aggro dump every 30 secs. I sometimes ride the tank's ass to let him know he should pick up the pace, but kind of silly to be pulling twice in one fight as a hunter.

Can't really put 3k into context since I don't know what the raid comp was. If you aggregate the top-50 Beasts kills Hunters are the number 1 class though. (Locks are 4th-9th as a class on every T9 boss, /wrist)

[Puddingcup]

What a spunky hunter. I can't say that your obseission with letting people know you have a mean personality will go too far, as far as convincing people of your confidence goes. As a probie, I don't exactly have much validity in my opinions on the forums but this app reeks of an undeserved, delusion of self-grandeur. WoW is a game that I like to play. Not a place where I feel like getting my ass chewed for silly mistakes, though I do enjoy arguing for the sake of arguing. So please join this guild and yell at me for doing stupid things. I look forward to doing OS+3 with you and Sobe.

I have done a few VoAs with him and his dps actually is solid...

[Aif]

lol...i doubt he would say anything for awhile...
