    (WW) I'm doing something wrong but I do not know what

    A few days ago the guild I'm in defeated Tectus (n) in the 66th best kill on US/EU servers. In looking over the logs I see that my dps and damage output is lower than I'd like it to be. I've browsed these forums and others in attempts to find some answers, but I simply do not know why my damage is as low as it is. I'm asking for your help here in any way you can. As I cannot "link" links, here is the broken up link for the Warcraft Log. I'm the WW monk, Drunkenbrew, in 8th for dps.

    Thanks for any help, Cheers.

    For Tectus you need to be Chi Explosion, not Serenity. Also, your Tiger Palm buff is really low. You would see huge gains by just going Chi Explosion with RJW. Keep RJW up when there are 3 or more adds. When the big guy splits into two, I throw out a clone on one and dps the other, then when one splits, I throw another clone and keep RJW up and FoF/Chi Explosion when I can with TEB being used on 10 stacks. Keep up the rotation, avoid knock backs, and you will see a huge difference and should top your guilds meters.

    A good place to start comparing your parses to others is here: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/ranking...r&difficulty=3

    We're comparing apples to apples here, so I'm comparing your Normal Tectus parse with other Normal parses.

    A quick look shows that your talent choices are wrong. The top parsing monk used RJW and Serenity. Most of the other top 20 ranked monks used Ascension and Chi Explosion. There were a couple that used Asc + RJW + ChEx or CB + Sere + Xuen, but the vast majority used Asc + ChEx + Xuen.

    Ability usage: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports...mary&source=14
    Looking at the summary is a good way to gauge your damage since it rolls your clones' damaging abilites into your own, resulting in one number for each ability.
    Your ability usage was pretty low across the board. This is not a fight where auto attacks should account for 25% of your damage. Most of the highest parsing monks were around 15% damage from auto attacks.
    Of note, your FoF usage was low. Also, you had one fewer Touch of Death cast than you could have given the length of the encounter.
    Your SEF usage is a bit lower than I'd expect: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports...ability=137639

    Resource management: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports...rces&source=14
    You were energy capped for a bit longer than I'd expect: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports...e=14&spell=103
    The chi tracking in warcraftlogs is a bit screwy right now. It hasn't been updated to reflect the extra chi that WWs get, so I can't comment on your chi usage.

    CD usage and buff uptimes: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports...uras&source=14
    Your Tiger Power uptime should be over 90% if not closer to 100. Yours was at 68%.
    You missed out on 3 of a potential 7 EB uses.
    You only used an agi pot pre-pull. You didn't use a second one.
    It would have been close, but you might have been able to fit in an extra Serenity use. Maybe.
    I didn't look too closely at your TeB usage since that takes some time to setup, but I noticed you had no TeB usage during Bloodlust, which is a good place to use TeB.

    Let me know what changed, and I can make a fix.

    We're at 5 chi base now - I think we talked about it in IRC the other day. I can send you the deets if you need it.

    Pretty sure that the conclusion was/is that we don't have enough haste to use RJW together with ChiEx.

    Just pick Xuen and Chi Explosion.

    This is wrong. You want to be using either RJW or ChiEx, not both. I prefer using serenity/RJW rather than Xuen/ChiEx my self.
