Wanting to start O1S

[SieyaM]

The first few times my DPS was very low, after I learned the battle some and saw the phases it improved dramatically. So the enrages were my fault some in the beginning, however by the end I was able to pull 3400 dps which from what I understand should be enough to down O1S. Our healers did leave a number of our dps dead for quite sometime also, up to 5 minutes or so.

OS1 requires a bit less than 19k group DPS, so yeah as a DD you're pulling your weight with that (assuming you're expecting your tanks and healers to also do something). At the same time, if you're a RDM, that places you in the bottom 25% of all RDMs on logs, so there's also a lot of room for improvement (current top RDM performance is 5749 DPS). Average (50%) RDM is around 3960 DPS. But as said, you're already covering your part of the DPS check and now that you've cleared the fight and remembering each part better, your DPS will surely only improve from there!

I probably don't have the same gear as the top RDM that are currently running the content though, so I would say some of my lower performance is from that. As far as rotation goes, well I could probably improve some but I am actually not sure how. I use all my procs when they are up and manafication and embolden as well. My timing with things could be improved some but I am not sure that would account for more than a few hundred.

If you're interested, you can use the compare function on the logs to compare your playstyle with RDMs with higher performance. You can check the timelines of your ability use, how many times you and they use each ability, their action number and activity % (so you can see if they're simply managing to use more skills than you), and so on.

But 3400 for your first clear is a great place to start from! I hope you didn't read my message as me saying it wouldn't be. I just meant to say that if you care about your performance a lot and take improvement seriously, this is what you can look for. But if you don't, that's fine, you're certainly doing well enough for this content!
