I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. In normal CN I’m only averaging like 2.4-2.8k dps on boss fights at 199 ilvl. I’ve read a million guides and I feel like I do my rotation somewhat correctly but I am seeing similar geared WW pulling 4K. I analyzed both of our details to see where we were at with spells casted and there were a couple things I noticed.
He had the following
RSK - 273
SPC - 775
FOF- 786
BOK- 383
WDP- 435
TP- 567
Mine on the same fight
RSK- 299
SPC- 1872 (this is one issue)
FOF- 603
BOK- 288
WDP- 328
TP- 705
So to me it looks like I need to stop filling with SPC unless it procs. I freak out trying to keep the mastery going and tend to use SPC, Expel harm, and chi wave when I have nothing new to push to avoid overlap. Does anyone have any tips on the mastery thing?
Also he has way more FOF and WDP which I don’t understand bc I feel like I hit it everytime it’s up but I must be missing something. Also I feel like I’m constantly hitting TP before every big move to get the chi. Should I switch from ascension to fist of white Tiger to be less chi starved and cut back on TP usage? I switched to ascension purely bc I have so many keybinds and one less key and the passive just seemed easier to me.
Can anyone help me not get called a trash WW.
Oh also I test out my rotation on the raid target dummies and with my cool downs I am
Hitting 7-8k so it just blows my mine that I can only pull 2.5 k on bosses. I realize there’s movement but that seems like such a large margin
Help please.
There are a few things to cover here.
The easiest place to start is talents and soulbinds/conduits. For talents, you should take Chi Burst and Fist of the White Tiger. They both generate chi and out-perform the alternatives when it comes to DPS. As for soulbinds/conduits, make sure you are using Pelagos and running Coordinated Offensive and Calculated Strikes (or Strike with Clarity, both are good choices for the second one). To make Coordinated Offensive good, you must make sure you focus your Storm, Earth, and Fire on the same target.
Start off the fight by casting expel harm before the pull so you start with one chi (the max you can start any pull with) and cast Chi Burst followed by Fist of the White Tiger. After this, use Weapons of Order, trinkets, Storm, Earth, and Fire, and Xuen. Follow with RSK, FoF, Whirling Dragon Punch, and just go from there.
Cast Expel Harm every time it’s off CD and you don’t have max Combo Points, same with Chi Burst and Fist of the White Tiger.
Use Spinning Crane Kick on procs only.
Cancel FoF if you have RSK, Whirling Dragon Punch, or Spinning Crane Kick procs to cast instead. FoF is a very inefficient ability and the others should take priority.
And don’t go off the DPS for a training dummy. Unless you are DPS’ing it for 10-15 minutes straight, you are just seeing your initial burst damage and not allowing it to level off over time.

can’t really provide specific info but
save your logs after next raid and input into wow analyzer. that can give you some basic tips.
read peak of serenity or wowhead guide thoroughly. sim your dps on raidbots for patchwerk with no buffs. then practice on a training dummy until you are near the simmed dps.
See I’ve done all that and like I said my dps on the training dummy is fine. If I can just sit still and do my rotation I’m fine it’s just when I have to move around and do mechanics and come back to dps it seems like I’m just not able to get back up to a respectable level I don’t understand it. I’m on perm disability so I have all the time in the world to play and read stuff so I’ve probably read every guide / website that I could find. I am gonna try switching from ascension to FotWT and see if that helps my rotation any. Thank you
well study the fights and work on maximizing uptime. link a log or wowanalyzer and i’ll believe your rotation is fine 
Thanks I do a lot of what you said or have just started to so I’ll see if that helps. I use Pelagos and coordinated strikes and strike with clarity I believe. I had not been focusing my SEF which is a dps loss from not benefiting from the soulbind. I’ll also cancel FOF more. I read that my clones will finish their part of the FoF damage while I can use RSK or WDP for more dmg. I’m gonna switch the two talents and work on everything you outlined. Thank you.
Also I messed up taking crit/vers on my leggo instead of mastery / vers bc I was gonna upgrade anyway I went with the cheapest missives not realizing you couldn’t change them when you upgrade! At least I didn’t go crit/haste lol. Vers/crit shouldn’t be too far behind vers/mast at 235 I hope
have you tried doing more damage?
Yea I feel like my scaling is broken bc I don’t make any mistakes
Ah yes, I hope more people realize WW isn’t so simple they can FOTM to it and achieve what the top 1% of players are putting up on a damage chart. Its a very high effort low reward spec.

Yea people think it’s faceroll. They’ll find out. I downloaded the mastery tracker weak aura that helps me track when I repeat spells. I hope that helps some
Just punch, jab, dodge, and kick and you will be at 10k dps before you know it!
