DPS Analysis

[palthis]

I recently started raiding after 2 xpacs and will stay BM. Based on my IL, SimC shows a good player against Ursoc style fight should have close to 194K DPS. My last fight was 175K and am trying to figure out what could be done to improve better. For the normal encounter I was actually lower at 165K.

Could someone take a look and comment? TIA!

Well for one you are using volley. Switch to AMOC to start.

My understanding of SimC is that it uses your talents to generate the numbers. No?

[Sartuk]

You're correct. You should use AMoC, but that's obviously not going to be the reason for the discrepancy here.

So in general with discrepancies here, you want to first look at obvious things that could make the difference. During the fight, did you crit at a worse rate than what Simcraft assumed you would? Sometimes RNG is the biggest difference between one single fight and the many iterations of a fight SimCraft shows, and is one of the reasons why beating what SimCraft says can absolutely happen (and does happen all the time). Also, were you not buffed with the same things/for the same duration SimCraft thought you would be? These are the easy checks.

What I saw at a quick glance, though, was that SimCraft didn't have you using Volley at all (no damage shown from that?) but did have you multi-shotting (and your pets gaining Beast Cleave), which seems very odd for a single target fight. That should actually make the SimCraft showing worse though, so I'm not totally sure if this is it.

[Azortharion]

Default APL doesn't active volley.
