Summary

This was a successful kill with consistent Shadow Dance and Shadow Blades pairing, but a large share of your improvement is in matching your rotation and cooldown timing to the add-heavy portions of the fight. You leaned much more heavily on Eviscerate than the comparable Rogue and made substantially less use of Black Powder, Goremaw's Bite, and Vanish. Your defensive planning was generally active, though a planned Cloak of Shadows late in the fight could significantly reduce a dangerous damage sequence.

Key Findings

Commit Earlier to the Multi-Target Rotation

Rotation Uptime High

Summary

Your casts and damage breakdown show substantially less Black Powder and Shuriken Storm usage than the comparable Rogue, with more of your output concentrated into boss Eviscerates.

Recommendation

When two or more valid targets are active, immediately switch your normal builder and finisher to Shuriken Storm and Black Powder, only overriding Black Powder for Darkest Night Eviscerate or Secret Technique.

Early Multi-Target Rotation Comparison

You cast Black Powder 40 times and Shuriken Storm 49 times, compared with 75 and 65 respectively for the comparable Rogue. You instead cast 166 Eviscerates versus 102. This produced 15.46 million Black Powder damage compared with 24.31 million, while your Eviscerate damage was 27.91 million compared with 21.71 million.

Compares Eviscerate, Black Powder, and Shuriken Storm usage during the early add sequence.

From approximately 00:25 through 00:42, you used only one Black Powder before returning mainly to Eviscerate and Backstab. The comparable Rogue repeatedly alternated Shuriken Storm and Black Powder across the corresponding early multi-target sequence.

Keep the Major Cooldown Cycle Ahead

Cooldown Usage Medium

Summary

You obtained five Shadow Blades uses and paired each with Shadow Dance, but several later uses were noticeably behind the comparable timeline. Goremaw's Bite and Vanish were also underused.

Recommendation

Start from Stealth with Shadowstrike, complete the planned Vanish opener, and pre-plan each Shadow Blades window. Use Goremaw's Bite before an upcoming Dance instead of holding it through multiple available windows.

Major Cooldown Timing

Your Shadow Blades casts occurred at 00:10.484, 01:48.864, 03:33.689, 05:12.579, and 06:43.479. The comparable Rogue used it at 00:04.373, 01:48.428, 03:18.951, 04:50.163, and 06:21.756. Your third through fifth uses were approximately 15–22 seconds later, although both players still achieved five total uses.

Compares Shadow Blades, Shadow Dance, Goremaw's Bite, and Vanish timing through the fight.

You used Goremaw's Bite 6 times versus 9 for the comparable Rogue, and Vanish only once at 00:06.152 versus three uses at 00:02.327, 02:28.112, and 07:02.219. Your first offensive cast was also Backstab at 00:03.382 rather than a Stealth Shadowstrike, while the comparable Rogue opened with Shadowstrike at 00:00.329.

Plan Cloak for the Late Damage Ramp

Defensive Usage Medium

Summary

No Cloak of Shadows cast is visible, leaving you exposed during a particularly dense late-fight magic-damage sequence.

Recommendation

Unless your raid assigns Cloak elsewhere, plan it at approximately 06:12 on this timeline so it covers the late Toxic Vapor, add pulses, and Congealing Bolt sequence.

View evidenceHide evidence

The comparable Rogue used Cloak at 06:12.319 and took zero from multiple Toxic Vapor, Congealing Bolt, Burning Presence, and Caustic Explosion events through roughly 06:18. Your corresponding sequence included a 67,077 Congealing Bolt at 06:14.457, 49,757 Toxic Vapor at 06:15.970, and a 153,555 Congealing Bolt at 06:18.432, along with Burning Presence hits.

Core Gameplay

Rotation & Uptime

Major Issue

Summary

The main rotational issue is covered in “Commit Earlier to the Multi-Target Rotation.” Your basic casting cadence was usually steady, but the distribution of builders and finishers did not fully capitalize on the encounter's repeated add availability.

Recommendation

Use target count as a firm rotation switch: at two or more targets, default to Shuriken Storm and Black Powder while preserving the Deathstalker and Secret Technique overrides.

Evidence is unavailable for this report.

Cooldown Usage

Minor Issue

Summary

As described in “Keep the Major Cooldown Cycle Ahead,” all five Shadow Blades casts were paired with Shadow Dance, which is a good foundation. The concern is timing rather than total Shadow Blades count: later uses were around 15–22 seconds behind the comparable timeline, while Goremaw's Bite and Vanish had fewer uses.

Recommendation

Write down the planned Shadow Blades windows before the pull and treat Goremaw's Bite and Vanish as part of that plan rather than reactive buttons.

Evidence is unavailable for this report.

Defensives & Damage Taken

Minor Issue

Summary

You used Feint repeatedly and had four Crimson Vial casts, so defensive activity was present. The clearest opportunity is “Plan Cloak for the Late Damage Ramp,” because no Cloak cast was visible during a predictable and dangerous magic-damage sequence.

Recommendation

Keep the existing Feint habit, but add one predetermined Cloak window around 06:12 unless encounter assignments require a different use.

Evidence is unavailable for this report.
