Relying on apex procs in single target to do any sort of single target damage is unfun gameplay

Are you basing the numbers purely off of the extra apex damage or are you including the 16% period damage buff that also applies.

@Grizzle-eredar

He gains about 40 million damage, an increase of 5% overall damage. And this is assuming best case scenario where theres no overlap in the increased 16% DoT damage and AS happens to be on the boss during the extra 48 seconds of that buff.

Thats FB + Big Winner + Adaptive Swarm (and multiplier) + Rake DoT + Thrash DoT + Rip DoT + Frenzied Assault DoT (not sure if this is actually counted but since it is a DoT i added it for the benefit of the doubt) + MF

Mechanics are not always the end all be all of mythic raiding. Enrage timers absolutely exist as well as “kill these mobs in time or you’re all dead” like with Rik and One armed Bandit

Yup, already addressed this. Raids can average blue parses and clear the encounters. Hardly ever is “lack of damage” the main suspect in a failed run.

“We’re not killing adds fast enough” = people not swapping when they should be (aka, failing mechanics)

Edit: the 5% difference hes missing out on is from being on the low end of apex procs (28 ticks of rip) and the high end (17 ticks. As close to 6% as you can get).

Meaning the average is only a 2.5% damage deviant

28 ticks to proc Apex = 2.5% overall on the low end compared to average
17 ticks to proc Apex = 2.5% overall on the high end compared to average
