Noobs guide to DPS - what the sites dont tell you

Addons all dps need at some point -

  1. Details!
  2. Threat Meter
  3. some way you keep track of your own damage text. only your damage text. only thing you should care about as dps. is how much damage you are doing on as dps.
  4. learning your rotation and adepting your rotation incase something gets resisted or you just did some godteir crit need slow down a bit

classic wow is unique compared to all versions of wow. because all dps classic can shift gears like race car. to adjust to your party comp. no reason for you to max rank spells 24/7 this will result in disaster. not watching your threat your damage output isnt anyone elses fault but your own. yes you can cause a wipe cause it…

Make sure you have settings where or addons where you can see every bit of damage you deal. why is this important cause if you crit muiti-times i don’t care how good the tank is. most important thing here is learning to shift gears when needed too

If you crit 2 times in a row if your caster your down rank. wait until see tanks threat meter go up go back full powered combo. still keep study flow of damage out. even if the numbers are lowered little

must understand threat generation in this game is extremely bad during classic era. you have best gear in whole game. on warrior or druid tank and run into threat issue. even if you do your rotation perfectly. alot factors fall upon people not paying attention to there threat I played hardcore classic realm lost lot good dps cause they didnt adjust quick enough or tunnel visioned there rotation

ideal is make it less confusing for you as possible while doing what you do. this no mid maxing guide this basic of the basics if you know these basic move along isn’t for you

but you surprised people who played this game ever sense original classic hasn’t crasped this deep dive concept. its vague but if understand threat how it is done created you become a god teir dps.

people misunderstand one thing asking you stop dps isnt same as shifting gears. like thick of car racing as dps. dont go top speeds when hit a curve. you drift and down ranking spells is how you drift then when it required for you go ham. you go ham.

giving these enterviles lower your damage you also lower your threat. meanwhile your constantly keep flow

some situations proved do more dps on dps meter downranking abilities then using max rank ability

Glad to listed this after threat meter. The “assistant” role is a lot more than just damage though. They are supposed to help tanks manage threat, CC loose mobs, keep relevant buffs and debuffs up, and deal with mechanics. A blind focus on the numbers is a bad trait in dps players.
