Guys,
One of our guildies was trying to work WWS for the first time last night, as you will see he managed to only get a report on trash mobs.
This is the first time i have seen my name on WWS and i was wondering if someone could explain in laymans terms what information i can get from it. I was using a 3:2 macro and my armoury link is http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Talnivarr&n=Colandra

Thanks

This is the interesting part

From what you linked, you can already see that you in fact, did not have a 3:2 rotation as that would have resulted in more steadyshots than autoshots, while you actually have more auto's.

Using that, we check the log (as I linked) and we can see:

167 18:46'06.976 Colandra's Auto Shot hits Underbog Colossus for 647 Physical
246 18:46'09.113 Colandra's Auto Shot hits Underbog Colossus for 643 Physical

At he very start, that's ~2.2 seconds where you didnt do anything, I assume that you had to move here.

2766 18:48'04.024 Colandra's Auto Shot hits Coilfang Hate-Screamer for 583 Physical
2884 18:48'05.825 Colandra's Auto Shot hits Coilfang Beast-Tamer for 608 Physical

A bit further, we can see that it took you close to 2 seconds to switch target.

3503 18:48'15.331 Colandra's Auto Shot hits Coilfang Beast-Tamer for 857 Physical
3566 18:48'16.343 Colandra's Auto Shot hits Coilfang Beast-Tamer for 843 Physical
3658 18:48'18.012 Colandra's Auto Shot hits Coilfang Hate-Screamer for 765 Physical
3701 18:48'19.095 Colandra's Auto Shot hits Coilfang Hate-Screamer for 770 Physical

The biggest one I could find, you spend close to 4 seconds here doing nothing.

And so you continue browsing through your log, looking for the mistakes you made and trying to recall what you did so you can do it better next time.

The main other thing that I could see is that you use a lot of arcane/multi's. With a 3:2 you really want to stay with purely mashing your rotation button/steady shot button.

Edit: you can go into a lot more detail here, checking things like timestamps much closer to see if you had any delay before starting to cast steady after each auto etc etc etc.

Thanks Aethien,
I guess ive exposed some of my noobishness to the world now :(
As for the 3:2 rotation i really dont understand , the macro was copied directly from the thread in this forum and generally i do just mash that button. (popping a few arcanes in here and there in a misguided attempt to get more damage).

As for the delays, from memory i was either feigning, moving or (more likely) frantically trying to Tab the next target and going past it.(40+ year olds reflexes and this game dont go together that well)
But thanks again i now know that i have my own "expose weakness" tool and how to use it.

Try to refrain from pushing in arcanes, as they can mess up your rotation with a 3:2.
Unless you are on the run ofcourse.

And pretty much every time you use Rapid Fire or imp. AotH procs you'll automatically fall back to a 1:1 rotation anyway, so the difference wont be massive, but you should see more steadies than auto's.
Unless ofcourse you have a drumrotation and a very coordinated rapid fire, haste pot, heroism rotation in your raids... but even then i'd expect a few more.
And I doubt you'll have that, as it's not common outside of the most hardcore guilds Smiley: smile
