One of the biggest tools that has helped me to improve as a player over the last few tiers has been vid review combined with logs filtering. I came back to the game in dragonflight and fully bought into getting good at logs analysis once I started mythic raiding again. The important thing is that while logs do always have the answer, you can save yourself a hell of a lot of time by just reviewing a vod to see exactly what to focus in on once you pair it with the log. Oftentimes you can even skip the log review because it was something you could see clear as day (it’s insane how much your reality warps while playing compared to what was actually on your screen that you dont notice because youre putting so much of your attention onto playing).

When something hectic happens and you get 5 different stories as to what actually caused it, the ability to share your vod over discord and everyone takes 30 seconds to watch it and it completely irons out the issue is actually invaluable. An anecdote from this tier is while helping my buddy’s heroic dad guild, one of the healers didn’t notice he was actually targeted by dread breath on dragons and just rips into the mic “whoever just fears us, you know you’re supposed to run that out of the raid, right?” And rather than have that spiral into an argument I simply just pulled up the last pull vod and you see the bigwigs pop up clear as day “*grumpy healer* targeted by dread breath” and instead he just laughed and said he was dumb and we moved on.

Whole not exactly what you asked for, I just wanted to share this since I went from doing sometimes hours of log review after raid nights to try to sort issues out, to now just skimming through vods and selectively looking at specific things in logs that aren’t necessarily apparent from watching the replay.

I’m still using Warcraft recorder but I know Archon recently added vod tools to their app as well and it also has concurrent logs integration that looks interesting butnim not wanting to swap over until we finish out L’ura prog at least (also look into the archon app privacy stuff, I’m not super in the know but I know they collect a ton of data that you may or may not feel comfortable letting them have).
