How do i take my damage to the next level?

[hechie]

Hello fellow Shadow priests.

after my first post about how to do more DPS. i have imporved alot thx to you guys and is now around the 20-30 (MC) highest dps but im atm stock at the standing.

My gear: http://realmplayers.com/CharacterList.a ... rch=hechie
my raidstats: http://realmplayers.com/RaidStats/Playe ... yer=Hechie

i personaly belive the reason im not hitting as high numbers as the ppl above me is about how fast we down our bosses compared to other guilds. but in case im worng i would like to know what you guys to to make the last 100 DPS that i cannot pull off.
( normaly i dont do flasks in raids.)
all my spells is max rank'ed. and this is my prio list of spells to cast.
SW:P->mindblast->mindflay
when i raid i bring the normal potions ( ekstra shadow damage, spell damage, oil(SP), mageblood, mp5 foodbuff.) i rarely have world buffs witch i could imagen could be the reason im lacking the last 100 dps or a combination of that and flask.

what i would like to know is should i do more damage then i do atm with this much gear.

Btw lets try to keep this post less salty compared to the last one

You need a guild that's less bad. 154 seconds on Ragnaros doesn't sit well with abusing trinket uptime

numbers look decent and average.. your gear is impressive so I don't think its a gearing issue.

some fights make it crappy for SP's due to mind flay range and having no burst damage on adds (like garr).

judge your dps on a complete stand still fight like ebonroc/flamegor.

tbh, you're doing better then most players in that raid. I think the question should be asked of what can your raiders do to take their damage to the next level.

shadow priest's still suffer from lack of spell pen until AQ (may help on avg dps when mobs don't have 100% CoS on).

also when are you using ZHC? (after COS and 5stack SW up?)
what consumables are you using?
does your raid have a nightfall?
are you vamp embracing more than raw dpsing?
are you focusing on upkeeping SWP over mindflay/mindblast rotation?

I don't know about using runn tum, mp5 is a much more valuable stat than int.

As to the dps problem, are you running out of mana a lot? I know for sure if I used runed/major mana pots every time I got low my dps would skyrocket (although I guess you could say that for a lot of classes). Yeah and like imba said, do you have a night fall? Also, more warlocks = more improved shadowbolt = more shadow vuln uptime, which obviously would increase your dps.

Just keep swp up and keep on dpsin

yea our off tanks has nightfall

I am wondering how many people on this server use all of these consumes. Do yourself a favor and download Theorycraft. See for yourself what stacks and what doesn't. You are going to be sad you have probably been wasting a lot of gold for a long time.

Greater Arcane Elixir, oils and Elixir of Shadow Power definitely stack. The rest doesn't matter

I don't care about addons, I tested it.

They all stack, the only elixir some people use that doesn't stack is sages and greater int. If you have spirit buff or ai buff, no point in using the other elixirs.

get more spell hit. enchant legs head. get world buffs. your guild should pop heads/hearts before raids.
