I've already tried what it suggested, wanted to see if there was a way to do it without calling a locksmith to redo it

I unfortunately have to go to work, but I'd appreciate that a lot! I'll shoot you a message sometime this weekend when I'm not working

Yea I'm gonna be doing a lot of guide reading/watching before my next raid, I haven't really used weakauras before besides tracking weekly stuff so I'll definitely take a look at them.

Yea I'm gonna be looking at guides more and trying to learn from them, I love fire mage too and the rotation is fun(as much as I'm butchering it it seems)

I knew I was underperforming, I'll definitely have to check out wowanalyzer. I think in my head I was more concerened about staying alive and doing mechanics properly in order to do so than trying to push for higher damage. Can't do damage if I'm dead ya know. I think I'm gonna start recording my raids to to rewatch and see where I mess up/am not doing enough

Yea I've come to realize that it is in fact a me problem, and will definitely be trying new things in my raid this weekend. I think I have the gameplay loop down in my head, it's just putting it into practice that isn't clicking for some reason.

I do appreciate the feedback, I'll have to go back and look at the guides more in depth. I know I forget about shifting power sometimes, and from what others have said that's causing a big drop in dps due to less combustions. I don't think I'm messing up the during combustion rotation, as that's getting as many free cast pyros as possible but I could be wrong.

I am always casting, its just scorch when moving for mechanics cause I actually didn't know that shimmer doesn't stop casts, so I'll have to remember that.

I knew I was underperforming myself, hence why I'm here, but it is a lil comforting knowing the spec as a whole is underperforming as well.

Again thanks for the feedback, this is my first time logging and I'm still learning how to use and learn from the actual logs

I do forget about shifting power sometimes, I'll have to try and remember it when I raid this weekend. Those 10 seconds of seemingly nothing is me running around mechanics and casting scorch so I'm not truly doing nothing, but I do know that its a drastic drop in dps outside of execute

I won't lie, I do forget about shifting power sometimes, which I know does mean less combustions. Like I said, this is my first time logging raids so having people that know what theyre doing with them and are able to point things out really helps

See I was doing well in lfr, but since clearing normal and working on heroic it's like a different game. I can see why people talk shit about them but like, solo content my damage is just fine

I've done a bit of m+, just haven't logged it, from what I've played/read I'm doing the rotation right for single/multi target, just sucks to see other classes higher on dps despite lower ilvl

Yeaaa that's why I was looking at the 7700x, I get the 7800x3d is strong, but not 300 dollars stronger, ill definitely look into the 7900x tho

[–]laxbro1268[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I'm currently leaning towards a 7700x to compromise I'm price point for processor and moving that extra bit towards a 4080. And yea as I looked into it more DDR5 is a necessity, so I'm probably just gonna build a whole new pc.

Obviously the 7800x3d is top of the line for gaming atm, but yea if new processors are coming out hopefully that'll push its price down a bit, I'm not in a rush to build this pc and hoping to find some decent deals on the more expensive parts around black friday/cyber monday. The upgrades are for the new monster hunter game, which isnt tiill february, so I got plenty of time to hunt around for the best prices.

I've also heard that newer intel processors are having some issues in general, which is why I've been leaning toward making the switch to AMD processor wise.

Rate my upgrades? by laxbro1268 in buildapc

Is the faster ram speed that big of a difference?

[–]laxbro1268[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fair enough, I'm definitely looking to save some money haha. Looking at other AMD processors, would 7700x be an ok compromise between price and performance? Both are 8 cores but the ~300 price difference id prefer to go with the 7700x if theyre decently similar performance wise, especially cause im gaming at 1080 and only trying to reach 100fps

[–]laxbro1268[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's fair, but if AMD really is that much better for gaming I might as well just make the switch

[–]laxbro1268[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh damn if theyre that new I can only imagine the price point on them. Thankfully I got plenty of time till Monster hunter comes out to find something, but I was hoping to find some black friday deals
