New tools are being created for WoW every day, and while Warcraft Logs is still the premier tool for collecting and analyzing gameplay, there are now several websites dedicated to parsing its information in new and expressive ways, giving players more options to help improve their gameplay! Lorrgs.IO does this visually, filtering the top 50 parses of each class and specialization, showing where important cooldowns are used and how they overlap with encounter mechanics, without all the effort of manually digging through individual logs!
We previously highlighted Lorrgs ability to automatically import cooldown timers, though that's far from the only way to use the tool. More analytically inclined players may appreciate going through Lorrgs manually in order to get them a better sense of where and why cooldowns are commonly used throughout an encounter, planning out in advance rather than just waiting for an imported raid warning to tell them when to use it.
Mythic Tindral is a great example of this, as cooldown usage will vary considerably between classes and specializations. While the typical approach to using cooldowns is «early and often» to get as many uses as possible, many classes will delay their cooldowns for each set of Mass Entanglement, though this isn't universal as they can quite easily be overkilled if everyone tries to focus on them, resulting in a lack of boss damage.
Even deciding when to use Heroism/Bloodlust can be made easier using Lorrgs to generate a quick visual overview of where other successful groups use group cooldowns. While not necessarily universal between each of the different logs, it can give players a good idea of different successful approaches.
Smolderon is another example of a place where many players will purposefully delay their cooldowns to align with the Ignited Essence buff, though it make take more specific log diving to see how certain classes bait orb spawns in order to affect better alignment. Remember, Lorrgs.IO uses Warcraft Logs to pull the top 50 logs for each class/specialization of every encounter, so the same information can be found on both sites — navigating to an individual log is as easy as clicking on the player name/parse!
Warriors commonly leap away from Smolderon in order to delay orb collection for their cooldowns, though this isn't something easily seen on Lorrgs.
While this visual aggregation can be a very useful tool for players becoming acclimated to a new encounter, keep in mind the disclaimer displayed on the Lorrgs homepage — this information is mainly meant to be used as a reference and may not necessarily be exact for every individual player circumstance.
