Please, tell me what am I doing wrong so I can improve. I did around 3.1k dps there with a ilv320 wpn

Right off the bat-you could be getting 2 onslaughts in your initial serk+ir opener. Should look like this:

Heavy swing(infuriate)->maim->storm's eye->heavy swing->maim (thrill of battle)->storm's path->heavy swing (berserk+inner release)->fell cleave (onslaught)->fell cleave (upheaval)->fell cleave->maim->storm's eye->fell cleave(onslaught)->heavy swing

I was also gonna say, make sure you're pairing thrill with upheaval to boost it's damage when you can. You didn't do this in your opener.

In-between serks, you messed up by using that second fell cleave outside serk. It caused you to only have 50 meter going into your mini-serk burst, which made you miss the upheaval under serk-big dps loss. You did well by using infuriate immediately after your opener for the free fell cleave, but that's all you can get out of that. Generally you wanna be sitting high on meter instead of starved on it. I noticed you also dropped storm's eye for 2 gcds after your mini-serk, make sure that's not happening.

You could've avoided using that butcher's block at the end by using a fell cleave instead after your mini serk burst. Generally if you do your mini -serk right, you'll have enough meter left over for a free serk-less cleave, and still have time between your next burst to build up to 100 meter, or at least 80-90 depending on how the fight goes for you. Your sextuple cleave burst should be the same as the first one, except with 6 cleaves instead of 4 obviously. You can still get 2 onslaughts in there if you do it right, and generally that's when you wanna be using your onslaughts. Try not to use them too much outside of inner release unless it's to maintain uptime.


Otherwise though, you have the general idea, and that you're looking for improvement is great in of itself. Keep it up

Always happy to help someone who's trying to improve! That's about where you'll sit dps-wise by yourself at your ilvl, your dps will be higher when you get into actual fights and you have raid buffs, pots, food, etc.
