Uhhh... help?

[Your Mommy]

Can someone help me understand what's happening here?



How is this possible?

It's padding

Assuming you are wondering why tanks are mixed in with rets. Its because tank damage on the "incorrect" target is not filtered out.
So if a raid is killing Stavros first all of a rets damage to freida/niklaus is ignored until Stavros is dead. All of the tank cleave damage is counted.

Most of tank damage is aoe, our single target rotations don't really vary from our aoe ones. So to imply its ALL padding is misleading.

It's padding

No amount of padding should allow a tank spec be above the DPS spec though

He literally does almost his full dps on all 3 bosses over the course of the entire fight (at least while they are alive).

If i try to put it into a mathematic formula:
1 + 0.8 + 0.8 + 1 + 0.8 + 1 = 5.4 (3 from relevant target, where he does 100% of dps + 3 from padding, where he does 80% dps)

Comparably the rank 2, who is a ret pally, only does relevant damage.... go figure.
1 + 1 + 1 = 3

The prot pally boosted his dps by about 80% trough padding.

Did you even read?

Non tank damage to any bosses that heal to full is excluded in the table below

He can go full padding...

There's absolutely nothing to see here, move along folks...

The odd thing about the logs actually is just how much his "ashen hollow" does.
It's 671k over the course of the entire fight, whereas the ret pally just below does 160k.

It's a prot paladin, his damage is multiplied on amount of targets he hits

As far as I can tell, It's 484k, which is still a lot.
But he's running the Conduit and probably maximizing padding on each cast. It's kind of hard to tell, since his log stats only appear in gibberish language.

So again, the tank is padding like crazy, and even has control over positioning, meaning he can keep pretty much everything inside his Ashen Hallow for the full casts. And have all the damage count.

So there's really not much to see here....
