Note that this was written with new rogues in mind. I recently ran a fail group on my DK and it was tough to see a fellow rogue just suck at DPS. I was tanking Anub’Arak in AN and things were going well until he burrowed and the adds came. Recount told me that I was number two in DPS, behind the mage but above the rogue. You know that a group is fail when the tank is doing more damage than the rest of the group.
So, here’s a little something to raise your DPS in heroic 5-mans:
- Go Combat. Equip your best weapons, then spec into it.
- Set the tank as your focus target (click on the tank, type “/focus”).
- Make this macro and map it to a button:
- /cast [target=focus] Tricks of the Trade
- Doing the above will cast TotT on the tank.
- Everytime your tank pulls, hit the macro, then spam Fan of Knives.
- Profit!
- For big pulls, cast Blade Flurry, TotT, FoK. Whenever BF is up, remember to stand close to two adds or more since you’re cleaving.
- For big, prolonged pulls, cast Adrenaline Rush, Blade Flurry, TotT, FoK.
- More profit!
It’s an oversimplification and sort of a repeat post, but hopefully it should get things started on the road to better DPS. Seriously. What I just saw was painful to watch.
