    15:15 Also important to consider when comparing to others of your item level, all item level brackets are not created equal. The higher your item level, the more competitive it gets. Almost all the best players are in those higher item level brackets.

    • @krozothebozo
      @krozothebozo  Месяц назад +1

      100% true. The better players in each guild will generally get funneled the gear, or get better gear from higher level content like high m+ or higher difficulty in the raid, making higher ilvl parses more competitive.
      On the flip side, if you are progressing this week at a lower item level, you can compare your parses to those of the highly competitive people from a week or two ago when they were around your current ilvl. But yeah, the longer the tier goes on, the less competitive lower ilvl gets.

    Something really important to note, there is still a small cut of the community to have even killed the boss. If you are in a guild, your logs will always look better because of fight duration and reps on a specific strategy. Parsing in premade finder or partial guild groups will always have lesser results

    • @krozothebozo
      @krozothebozo  Месяц назад +1

      Yeah, that is true. Generally guild groups/boosting communities will be the better places to parse. Realistically though, a pretty good pug could also be a place to parse well. Finding a good pug is the hard part though

I used to ask my supporters to give me exclusive buff rotations and tried to avoid responsibility with mechanics just for the big parses. Complete ridiculous. And now PUGs are good for parses? What's the point....?!
      Anything between blue and purple should be just fine as long as other metrics (damage taken for example) are fine and you don't die to mechanics etc.
      Gatekeeping people from things because they're not 99ers makes no sense. Not everyone can be a 99er, that's simply mathematically not possible

      Maybe it's just not useful for yourself. I think Purple parsing is pretty much all thats needed. And I purple parse all the time in PUGs without asking for PIs or anything like that. It's 100% possible. And I've seen people 90-95% parse in pugs too, I'm just not that guy.

    Is the hekilli addon actually helpful in helping improve your rotation? I started using it so i can focus more on mechanics and have the addon show me whats next in the rotation. is that bad?

    • @krozothebozo
      @krozothebozo  Месяц назад +2

      So I've never used the hekilli addon, so I can't really say for sure. There is nothing wrong with using an addon to learn the rotation, but I definitely prefer just whacking a target dummy forever and practicing that way. My biggest concern with an addon like that is that it won't necessarily teach you the spec, but instead make you rely on the addon to perform, if that makes sense.

    My problem is on the darkside of the spells atm, Im not losing any nightfall stack/spell duration during drain soul, neither succulent souls, however, comparing a few logs with same fight duration/ilvl I see people casting like 10-15 more raptures and drain souls than me, is this just rng generating shards ? (I also drop shards to 1 whenever I became near soulrot CD).
    Does normal drain soul needs to be cast until it finishes? I mean is it important to finish all the drain without nightfall proc? also should I store a few shards outside soulrot/darkglare windows to wait for crescendo/suculent random procs? taking care I wont be shard cap (since Im not losing any succuluent souls it doesnt make much sense to store shards for it tho)
    Thanks

    • @krozothebozo
      @krozothebozo  Месяц назад +4

      RNG is definitely a factor, which can be pretty annoying. Not only with regular shard generation but nightfall procs too. A few things to keep in mind:
      You can always drain soul an add that is dying to generate an extra soul shard
      Unstable Affliction being on a target as it dies will also always give a soul shard, so applying to an add before they die will give you an extra shard
      The "Tormented Crescendo" makes it so that you NEED to be using drain soul/shadow bolt on the enemy with Unstable affliction, otherwise you will not get ANY procs.
      The "Ravenous Afflictions" talent, when specced, is also RNG but can factor into the amount of procs you get in a fight.
      From what you've written it sounds like you are playing correctly, though. I occasionally get distracted or get a mechanic and waste a proc here and there or overcap on shards, the fact that you are being mindful of that shows you have the right idea.
      For normal drain soul, you don't need to finish the whole cast, it is just your filler ability. This might be why some people have more drain soul casts than you. If something more important comes up, like a nightfall proc, cancel the normal drain soul and do the important thing.
      You can also go into the compare feature on WCL, find another warlock, and when you are comparing, go to the "Buffs" tab. Then, search for nightfall or tormented crescendo and see what the proc difference is like.
      When it comes to holding shards between soul rot windows, It depends on the fight honestly. Are there adds coming up, is there a priority target that needs to die, will you be dealing with mechanics for a while, etc. I'll usually just have one or two shards banked up between SR windows, unless I need to burst a priority add/use seed of corruption/vile taint.
      Sorry for such a long reply, lol. Wanted to address everything you mentioned.

  • @cozydreamer81
    @cozydreamer81 Месяц назад +1

    12:07 I wouldn't say getting an early kill makes it easier to parse higher. The earliest kills of bosses are generally made up of the best players... if anything that would make it harder. Just like how it's harder to parse high in Mythic, even though there are far fewer kills. (In your example your DPS almost didn't increase at all over the course of a week -- the fact that you retained almost the same rank, if anything, implies that it was less competitive.)

    • @krozothebozo
      @krozothebozo  Месяц назад +1

      Totally fair. In my mind there is not really a defined strategy on how to do optimal dps on the boss when you kill it early, so if you can find that yourself, it will be much easier to parse. The competition of people killing the boss in the first week generally just want to kill it and progress further into the raid. So, knowing when to use CDs/what enemies to hit to effectively parse will let you stand out against a smaller population of people killing the boss (even if the smaller number of players killing the boss are higher skill level on average).

      @krozothebozo  Месяц назад +1

      It is hard to give a straight answer about stat weights. Everyone's armor sets are completely different so I can't give a concrete answer. I can give some tips, though.
      You can use RaidBots and sim your characters "stat weights", which will give you an approximate value of how beneficial stat increases are of each stat.
      You can also find a player who seems to have great gear and compare your stats to theirs. You can do this by looking them up on warcraft logs, going to a recent fight of theirs, clicking the "summary" tab, and then clicking on the player. There will be a little box with their stat info. It will not show % though. Alternatively, you can go to the world of warcraft website and search up the character there, and it will show their stat number and %.
      Lastly, you can go to the website bloodmallet.com and look up the "secondary distributions" for affliction warlock as a baseline to aim for. ( bloodmallet.com/chart/warlock/affliction/secondary_distributions/castingpatchwerk )

  • @Nagaash
    @Nagaash Месяц назад

    Lol you wait to use soul rot to get "multiple mobs" but the adds are down by the time you finish the cast! It's a good thought but doesn't seem to be useful in practice. Appreciate the rest of the advice in the video though.

    • @krozothebozo
      @krozothebozo  Месяц назад

      Yeah, got greedy and tried to use vile taint AND soul rot on the adds, but they didn't live long enough for it. Using phantom singularity instead of VT, PSing the boss before adds spawn, precasting seed, and using soul rot as the adds spawn would be the best setup for phase one. Still learning to optimize but the principle of lining up cooldowns for certain parts of the fight still stands. I did get some stacks of the buff from the SR talent too, which was the point.

      Using warcraft logs is definitely a good way to improve, but is not absolutely necessary to go through logs and compare with other players. It can give you some new perspectives on how to do your rotation/cooldowns better. It seems like you are pretty content at the moment, though, which is perfectly fine! Don't feel pressured to min-max too much, especially if you aren't raiding or doing m+ anyway.

      Can definitely be difficult sometimes. Raid leading isn't always the most fun, but I've just led pugs on my alts from time to time since they never get invited to grps

    Logs are a bit of a bait. I can log 99% on heroic fights, but for mythic you simply just can't pad a boss / adds and ignore mechanics. Your guild WILL tell you to soak, run out, do X do Y do Z and so on. There will also be much less total logs, and parses will be compared to those of your same spec. So if you have to do X mechanic and the other people of your spec on the logs don't, then you will get that green/blue log and they get purple or orange.

    Forget about parses, people pays top guild millions of gold to get top parses and CE.

      Some people like to perform to the best of their ability, and parsing will generally show who performs the best in a raid. Can't fault people for wanting to do well, right?

    step 1, spend 500k gold on gear.

      That doesn’t make sense. Too many ways to get gear now.

      everyone else in your raid. It's no fun to carry someone because they don't think they should be playing their best.

    warcraftlogs, raiderio, dmg meters... only shit to ruin the game that was supposed to be fun

    • @krozothebozo
      @krozothebozo  Месяц назад +1

      That is a fair opinion to have. I personally just enjoy the competitive side of raiding. We've pretty much always had dps meters, though. Recount walked so Details could run
