Hey everyone,

I'm really struggling with my DPS this is our latest mythic Krossus kill I have the bracers and shard legendary and I'm barley making 600k. I've read all the guides watched video's clearly I'm doing something wrong here. Any advice would be helpful. I feel like I'm really missing something. Help!!

You're not doing the "Krosus dance" :D

Krosus' hitbox is a little weird, making it a lot harder to hit the double Ice Lances and shatter your Frostbolts. Overall, you only managed to achieve 70.5% crit on your Ice Lances, which is not only very low, but also costing you a lot of IV uptime. Essentially, you're missing the second critical Ice Lance after a Flurry. You're also a bit too close to the boss, which could cause your Flurry to hit after your Frostbolt, potentiall explaining your reduced Frostbolt crit rate of 21.6%

What you have to do is stand slightly further away during the Frostbolt cast to shatter it with Flurry and then move forward during the double IL. Then move backwards (or blink back) to shatter range again when you're dumping FoF procs. Take a look at this replay and follow Brokenshun to see what I mean: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/Mh ... iew=replay" target="_blank Watch how he positions himself during the fight, but desregard the part where he's ignoring the add mechanic.

It takes some time to get used to this. The tradeoff between shattering Frostbolts and landing double Ice Lances forces you into this dance. While it's an issue anywhere, Krosus' hitbox punishes it mercilessly.

Good luck :D

Katsu.

here's updated logs from our heroic run. I'm still really under preforming it seems I tried making sure I crit my frost bolts but I think I'm doing something else wrong too.

Edit oops I forgot the logs! https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/z17nwNpmFaWVCLGP" target="_blank

here they are!
