Hi Hermi

I was discussing the Garalon logs with the RGW RLs last night and wanted to point something out to you that will significantly improve your dps.   Your Living Bomb uptime was only 68.8% on your best try last night, which an appallingly low uptime.   Think about it, you're focused on the body (spreading ignite/pyro/combustion to the legs) yet you only had your highest priority spell applied to your target two-thirds of the time?

Last night on that best try (Try 5), you were 2nd highest DPS in the raid and did 77k DPS.    If you kept Living Bomb up on Garalon all of the time your DPS would have been 84k and you would have been the TOP DPS!!

Being 2nd or top DPS is not necessarily something to get too excited about though as most of the raid are not delivering the DPS they are capable of delivering, but you can and should be doing more dps with your gear and a huge dps increase is there if you simply keep Living Bomb up on your main target.  

Once you've mastered keeping LB up on your target, now think about the potential for adding LB to the legs too:

Click the Buffs Cast tab, then click the # next to Living Bomb in the middle Debufs column:

The graph should pop up with a tracker underneath for Living Bomb and you can see how often multidots appear (heavier green colour = more dots up). The lightest green means only 1 LB. The gaps in the green are where you forgot to refresh LB and it dropped off.  

The graph shows that you NEVER had more than one Living Bomb up and the gaps show how often you *could* have had Living Bomb up.  Filling the gaps with ONE Living Bomb would have increased your DPS from 77k to 84k.

Swede has Living Bomb up way more often (94.3%), but also had Living Bomb on the Legs (not just on Garalon).   He wasn't brilliant at multi-doting, but had more than one Living Bomb up quite a few times.    

Here's the killer though:  
If you could do the same as Swede for Living Bomb uptime and add Living Bomb to the legs like he did, guess what would happen to your DPS:

Your DPS would have risen from 77k to 90k!!

13k dps increase for free.  All you need to do is click the button on time.  Watch out for Combustion too, you got only 3 instead of 4 possible in the fight, that's another 1k dps so you could have been at 91k DPS!

Come on Hermi, a mage with your raid experience should not need to be told this, you should be on top of it yourself.   Sort your UI to better track the Living Bomb DOT and make sure you keep it up - AND multi-DOT!    

If everyone in the raid slacks and underperforms then RGW will not get the progress it wants.  Don't be part of the problem, be part of the solution by pushing your performance upwards & to new kills.

91k dps Mages get more boss kills than 77k dps Mages!!

Hope this helps!

None yet.  When I was in the other night I found she had not been on the forum and seen the message.  I suggested she go look and read, but she has not responded.
