Last Pull Paradox

Last week we fell a bit short of the WEEKLY goals overall, but Tuesday was spot on getting 3/10 :) We had some decent pulls on Soulrender. We will likely go to Remnant instead next week. The changes on Soulrender didn't seem too bad, but the amount of damage happening throughout the fight is a struggle. The adds didn't die fast enough to have enough uptime on the boss (or at least that seemed to be a struggle later in the fight). In my opinion, this was related to having a 4th healer for 17 raiders.

I'm trying everything I can to work on recruiting a few more dps to bridge that gap as soon as possible. There are some things that we can do differently to help make life easier for heals too. I'd love to discuss healing CD's and other raid defensive CD's like Mikassa's suggestion to hold Ashen Hallow until the first set of chains. I want to make sure we are optimizing those raid cooldowns rather than just using them whenever people think they would be best.

Saving dps CD's for add waves would also be helpful along with trying to be more consistent or prepared with the red runes to melt the adds faster.

Continue working on tweaking and simming your dps. Great job so far, but active optimization is always good to try and get those higher parses. If you look at logs and it says you are 25th percentile or below, that tells me there could be a couple of things going on. Maybe re-adjust your rotation or you could be missing some kind of interaction between abilities, conduits/soulbind/covenant could be "wrong" or unused, or you could still be uncomfortable with mechanics causing you to fumble your rotation throughout. Having more of a "battle plan" for every fight on an individual basis is GREAT!

I know we will get through it, we just need to see it more and practice! If you are struggling and need help, please ask :) I know it's a DRASTIC change to get used to for Ishani too, so keep at it! It will take repetition and muscle memory will get better and better with time! I'm looking forward to Tuesday!

I'm hopeful that we will get 4/10 next Tuesday and have a good chance to get 5/10 and several pulls on Painsmith by the end of Tuesday.
