Random decrease in Dps with T9

Furs macros are basic guideline, once you get them you need to spend few hours adjusting them to Your liking, my 2 shamans that arent super geared still easily pull 6-7k on a 2 minute boss(raid)

QFT. I used his Prot Pally click set up as a starting point, and sat down and worked out that his ","s were WAY too many for the speed I like to spam at. I like a 1/second per ",", so i worked out the commas I needed, and my dps skyrocketed - on all of my characters. Fur's were set up for about quadruple of that. Because of the GCD, spamming faster does not do more damage, or so it seems, so a slow, steady pulse works great for me.

Lately I've been watching my kill rate, and I can SEE it slow down as I speed up. I just mentally repeat a "one-thousand, two thousand" pattern, pressing the dps key on the "one" and "two", and I'm getting big numbers. I like my rate, because I do big damage, and i have room to click other things and have them actually happen, whereas if I'm spamming faster, sometimes things won't go off, like heals.

I also looked at the toolkit of each character and how I should be using MORE of it, instead of what's posted in macro threads. Fur's macros were awesome for the basic rotation, but it had no mechanic for keeping Divine Plea up, and that can make a big difference.

I also worked out a scratch flow chart of all of the characters, and plotted what was being triggered, and when, and found a few spaces that I could tighten up on a rotation, or stretch it out. Very interesting to see your rotations next to each other, and then watch Recount and see the peaks and valleys where they should be, from reading the chart. My lock is next for examination, I want to get him up another 500 dps without having to buy gear, I need to take a look at his macros and what I'm using.

For heroic if you look at wmo scoreboards, as elemental(lots of top end guild use that, exodus, cuties etc etc), I'm the(or at least was few days ago) highest dps shaman in US(that was pre both trinkets, and few other pieces), I know where shamans are supposed to be, and i raid on 2 ele.
I gave you 2 minute mark for a reason, after that dps seems to drop of a bit, but not much, also most people here do heroics, where in 30-40s fight they should easily see 6-7k+(of course fights dont last that long anymore in 5 mans)

WTF dude? That's a lvl 60 target dummy. Go use a heroic dummy like the rest of us.

ObviouslyI don't have hit to go onto heroic dummy eh?
Using heroic dummy to test your teams HEROIC 5 MAN dps is dumb as hell, you dont even encounter bosses that require 17% hit in there...

Ok. I can buy that. Why not use the lvl 80 normal dummies then?

doesn't make a difference, if you recall its the same ss as i used in warlock destro topic, i wanted to see whats going on with locks dps,not pull out my epeen on anyone, and dummy is good to compare dps as long as same dummy is used.
Loooong time ago when we had a topic about dps and whatnot i did use 80 dummies, here i was just testing, i went to random dummy.

edit just for you here, i didnt notice that arieh/ishv were dropping magmas, but still, similar result.

Lads seriously. there is enough people out there with the hating that we really dont need it internally. i mean fur man chillax, the only critisim of that 10k is its using a warlock with curse of elements. which the 4 shammy 1 pala team doesnt have, but im currently working on it. and i did spend a good while trying to tweak your orignal macros fur to suit myself where i wouldn't wind up clipping myself or find myself wiating that extra half second waiting for a lavaburst to come off CD stuck in macro. my question was merely to ask had similar happened. as it turns out it wasnt the marcos or my timing gone out of sync, but a fault in the game itself.

Nice Diablo 2 interface. lol

I've always been under the impression that when you lower the target level, you (dramitically) increase your chance to CRIT against it. Your chance to crit is based on equal level mods - at least as I understood it.
