So lately I've been looking at my uptimes and it's really starting to do my head in. I take a fight that's generally easy to just go for it without having to move too much. It's not that my DPS is utterly shit, but I'm just unhappy about my uptimes.
I've been comparing my logs with some other shadowpriest their log.
My uptimes were the following (4.09 minutes fight - BQL HC) had 1 shroud of sorrow
VT 87.9%
DP 89.9%
SW:P 96.1%
His uptimes were the following (3.30 minutes fight - BQL HC)had 1 shroud of sorrow and 1 pact of the darkfallen.
VT 91.3%
DP 94.5%
SW:P 96.6%
After calculating some I came to the following conclusion:
I did 112 MF casts, which would bring me to 336 MFticks, I ended up with 308 (28 clips)
Did 22 VT casts, so should end up with 110 VT ticks, I ended up with 106 so I guess I must've clipped it somewhere? (edit: after rechecking the log browser I indeed refresh it too early at some point. Lost 1 clip there and near the end it ticked two times and then she died, so I lost 3 and that's the 4 clips right there at least).
14 DP casts, should've had 112 ticks, had 109 (I did cast DP on boss while running with shroud, so that explains that clipping.
One thing I don't get is that I always time my VT recast to be at the exact timer of when it's supposed to end. So say I got 1.1 second on my VT cast and there is 1.1 left on the timer I cast IF Mindflay allows it. That is on the 2nd or last tick.
Now we compare the other guys stats
He casted 95 MF, which should give him 285 ticks, he did 237 (48 clips)
20 VT casts, which would give 100 ticks, he had 99
DP was 13 casts and got him 103 ticks instead of 104.
So now I'm wondering one thing. Seeing he clipped his mindflay quiet often, does that mean he refreshes whenever the dot is supposedly running out? I always thought it was best to time it on the second mindflay clip or the last one when you recast dots. Though yeah my uptime seems shit, and for some reason I still seem to clip. Even though I try to aim as close to getting it 1.1second cast to falling off.
These are the logs for further information if people wish to. I compared my logs with Valaine from Inner Sanctum on Silvermoon, though I compared myself with others as well, but yeah.
My log: http://worldoflogs.com/reports/rt-4l...?s=3824&e=4074
Valaine (Inner Sanctum) log: http://worldoflogs.com/reports/qqouv...?s=4939&e=5149
This seems to be one of my better fights on uptimes :/. I used this query to insert to see the casting and such: [{"spellNames": ["Vampiric Touch"], "targetNames": ["Blood-Queen Lana'thel"], "actorNames": ["Ayarea"]}]
Relatively new to the query thing so I don't really know how to see how it's being clipped and all with more then 2 spells. For some reason it keeps showing me Mindflay only.
Thanks for the help in advance.
