![]() This next one can be tougher to do depending on your spec, but we do have options. Now challenge yourself each week to increase your number even by just a few casts. See how many times they cast their main nuke and other spells compared to yours. Have a look at the logs of a similarly geared mage who is doing more damage than you. Take advantage of more global cooldowns and cast more spells! Next, make sure that “Cast action keybinds on key down” is checked off. If you know what your typical latency is, you can adjust the tolerance here by checking off “Custom Lag Tolerance” and moving the slider. Go into Interface and then Combat and look for these: There are two settings you may not know about related to this. (I’m sorry roommates, spouses, parents, pets, but it’s for the greater good). It’s even better if your keyboard is a loud one. It should sound as if you are repeatedly stepping on a warlock after killing them.

Even between similarly geared mages, if you compare logs you will find that the mage who cast the most number of spells did higher damage. The single best thing you can do to improve your DPS is to minimize idle time. You’ve probably heard this one before, but it’s worth repeating. Instead, we’re considering ways that will allow any spec of mage to see an improvement in their damage immediately. Your damage is also dependent on your gear, spec and talent choice, but that’s not what we’re looking at this week. Many factors affect damage dealing execution: lag, reaction time, environmental hazards, RNG, and of course player error. There’s a big difference between theorycraft and practical damage. Whether you’ve been playing a mage for a week or for years, there are usually things we can all do more efficiently to maximize our damage.
