Random decrease in Dps with T9

Guildie was playing with target dummies last night.

Saw an increase of ~1500 dps by going from lvl 80 to lvl 60 dummy. lol

I will use both dummies but the chance of crit would definitely go up with the higher level dummies.

I do admit that I will test out on the lower dummies sometimes to negate or reduce the likely-hood of misses etc as I am typically looking for uniformity of damage if that makes any sense.

actually my dps went up on lvl 80 dummy...

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.

I dont use click for paladins, but still with my cs i managed to pull 2nd highest tps on wmo board.

Uhh, as long as you keep hitting the target with melee - it'll never go down? Once per combat shouldn't be hard to maintain.
