like 90% of those mdi moonkins arent moonkin main so their opinion on moonkin form is invalid

proper sinew
#

I still can’t believe the run animation they shipped with the new form

digital berry
#

Moonkin model also doesn’t allow for transmog

Low cpm

no one will mock you

kidding

lucid olive
#

my "friend"

#

we get it

pseudo kernel
#

nah, i would stand by my mistakes but i am the disc priest hehe

#

but low cpm, is that all he has to improve?

lucid olive
#

he's just slow

#

takes forever to spread Moonfire here

proper sinew
#

Low starfalls too I’m pretty sure but I’ve not been in a 12 rookery in a while

lucid olive
#

Should use FoE before pressing Incarn

#

uses a random Starsurge

#

doesnt press Warrior of Elune at all on the first pull

pseudo kernel
#

@solid linden is the friend, and now i pulled him here so he can suck up all the information

#

thanks people

lucid olive
#

random Starfire and Starfall cast here before entering Eclipse

solid linden
#

i'm the newbie, hi

lucid olive
#

uses CDs then stands afk for 3 seconds

#

random Wrath casts in Lunar

#

enters Eclipse on 1st pull downstairs after 1st boss and then goes to get coffee for 5 seconds

#

random trinket without CDs

#

honestly just practice being consistent with entering Lunar and not losing uptime

#

lots of 3-4 second gaps for no reason cause you're either caught lacking during a mechanic you didn't plan for or you're looking down at the keyboard trying to find your keybind

#

this is the most consistent issue, that FoE cast should be before the Incarn and not after it

#

and not using Warrior of Elune enough at all

#

its a 45s cooldown

#

You also did not use Wild Charge a single time the entire key?

#

what's that about

solid linden
#

combination of starting wow a bit late and not having had a long time getting used to the dungeons and the spec

lucid olive
#

also go get Flap

#

parasol's for suckers

solid linden
#

the difference between the dps i do and what others do is still crazy though. I have a hard time doing 15+ m dps like others at this ilvl seems to be able to

lucid olive
#

Yes

#

because they are popping cooldowns and then casting spells

#

you're popping cooldowns and then alt tabbing

#

Sorry that sounded funnier in my head and it came off rude

solid linden
#

fair enough

lucid olive
#

these Moonfire casts are too far apart

#

need to be quicker at spreading dots

#

and not spend AP before entering Eclipse there

solid linden
#

i try dotting during pull but end up either fighting my plates or getting one that the tank has not hit yet

lucid olive
#

yeah the first 10 seconds of a pull is playing nameplate whack-a-mole with Moonfire

#

get consistent and quicker with it

#

your priorities are

Moonfire when tank is gathering
Sunfire when gathered (so you can hit every mob with 1 Sunfire instead of needing more)
Moonfire whatever is left
Fury of Elune if your next button pressed is Incarn
Enter Eclipse/Use Incarn (if available)
Fury of Elune if available
Spend AP to not overcap
Spend AP for movement
Starfire

#

It can maybe look like a lot but it's not really, you just need to build the muscle memory

#

Go find some AoE clumped training dummies and spend some time getting consistent on spreading your Moonfire

#

Remember that your Warrior of Elune button exists

#

Wild Charge for movement and to help uptime

#

You can use instant casts like Starsurge/Starfall/Sunfire/Moonfire etc during the Wild Charge animation

solid linden
#

it's what every guide says to do, so i try. Trouble is that i have a really hard time doing the super high numbers even when i actually do it right. i might sneak up to 15mil or so, but supposedly others at this ilvl go way higher

#

the run linked was not exactly my best

pallid bay
#

always be casting is the absolute most important contributor to your dps

#

rotational mistakes are secondary to it

lucid olive
#

need to fill every global with a spell

#

preferably a good spell following the rotation priority, but casting nothing is way worse than casting something wrong

solid linden
#

other than moving for mechanics, i didn't notice much idle time

#

i threw the log at wowanalyzer and it says i cancelled close to 12% of casts

#

feels.. high? not sure if you consider cancelled casts "idle" here

crimson spade
#

cancelled casts, are when you are casting and then move

pallid bay
#

this is like

#

minus infinite dps

#

next use looks the same

#

should look like this

solid linden
#

i think that might have been oh shit moments - i don't recall just standing still 😅

lucid olive
#

Oh shit moments are moments you should be planning for

#

also moments where Wild Charge can be very valuable if you need to move

solid linden
#

agreed, i have a bit of trouble getting every spell i need into a reachable button

#

or maybe i have the dexterity of an elderly person

pallid bay
#

solid linden

i think i need a bunch more dungeon mechanic knowledge. a bunch of the screwups come from something unexpected happening

thanks for having a look at the log 🙂

Hey guys, random question. On my alt Warlock, I crafted my 681 staff, but just saw that I did the agi one -_- anything I can do?

pallid bay
#

nope

#

is there even an agi specific staff

#

there is.. yeah nothing you can do

People who play other classes swear by they want to reach a % of any stat and it drives me nuts

no thats not people who play other classes

they exist here and in any other class discord

pseudo merlin

Not a single point more or less

celest narwhal

I wonder if actually aiming for a specific percentage or rating of any stat is even a thing for any dps spec

#

I feel like “fire mage” is the only one so they can get enough haste to extend combustions

I would play more but I spend the majority of my time getting my message counts up in balance and ret discords

telling people not to use stat weights

doing 10s are just boring, feel so over geared at even 667

#

rbgs dont even exist anymore 😭

#

im clearly not liking the gameplay loop of pushing past 10s

pseudo merlin
#

Go higher, you'll have to deal with less affixes that way too.

#

OR no affixes rather.

#

My AVG rated BG queue is like 10-20 minutes depending on the time of day, 30 min maybe in the worst hours, it sucks yeah

copper junco
#

if anyones bored and feels like helping a homie out can you take a peak at my log and tell my why im so bad at m+. Like I dunno if its a key/tank thing or if im just seriously messing something up with where I use cds or my fundamentals. Just never seem to be happy with my damage, seems low. There should be 2 dungeons on the log, the cinderbrew felt especially bad.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/tFD4z6BMxPhaJfVj

lucid olive
#

good chunk of cancelled casts on that 1st boss Cinderbrew

#

some grand canyon gaps

#

you seem to have all the fundamentals down though

copper junco
#

prolly runnin for my life from clouds

lucid olive
#

could use some better planning with positioning and movement and conserving AP for those moments

copper junco
#

I know I dont use wild charge enough for movement for sure

#

ye

lucid olive
#

4 Wild Charge casts in that meadery

#

yeee

copper junco
#

yeah reallly bad

#

writin that one down lol

lucid olive
#

rotationally you seem to have it down

#

on the first area you pressed bear like 3 times in a span of 40 ish seconds which is not ideal for damage

#

but if you're scared of dying then wcyd right

copper junco
#

yeah I think we had a mw for that dungeon and im not used to running with them

#

so im not really sure what I can get away with

lucid olive
#

like pressing incarn, spending 3 times and then going bear

copper junco
#

ive been yelled at for bear forming too much and also not bear forming lol

#

that I was bearing the chewie aoe

lucid olive
#

4 Sunfire casts within a few seconds not ideal too

leaden birch
#

how are people doing the adds on OAB? are you guys putting moonfire and sunfire on each one? or is it just treants and you sunfire each?

lofty depot
#

generally not the melee add

leaden birch
#

because if I pop cds on pull, I have no treants for first adds

#

just curious how y'all doing it

lucid olive
lofty depot
#

first set is the easiest

#

alos most people are saving 2nd trees

leaden birch
#

and y'all just dump wrath into the boss?

lucid olive
lucid olive
lofty depot
#

did u not look up cd usage before getting there or?

lucid olive
#

you wont need boss dmg on bandit before p2

copper junco
lucid olive
#

but you can wrath before tank is going in to be in lunar with both dreamstate stacks up when you start spreading moonfire, probably good if you're doing a pull without CDs

#

3rd boss you used CDs then didn't Moonfire the boss until the 4th global

copper junco
#

you think thats really better than getting dots up asap on a big pull?

#

I always assumed you wanted to be aggressive with dotting

lucid olive
copper junco
#

I might actually overdot too, like moonfiring shit mobs when I shouldnt be

lucid olive
leaden birch
lofty depot
#

yes

leaden birch
#

cause if so I'm checking out cd timing with lorrgs

leaden birch
#

people are popping everything on pull

#

so no treats for first set

lucid olive
#

also a lot of this

leaden birch
#

but I do hold for 2nd

lofty depot
#

ok, first add set is just u dotting the far ones and caring

copper junco
#

the 3rd wrath cancel or sunfire before moonfire

lofty depot
#

as said, its the easiest

lucid olive
#

casting 3 Wraths

leaden birch
#

so ignore the melee one

lofty depot
#

yes

copper junco
#

yeah I think its a spell queue issue, ive kinda been noticing it lately lol

lofty depot
#

thats dead in 3 seconds

leaden birch
#

moonfire/sunfire the 2 far adds and starfall

#

gotchya

copper junco
#

its so ingrained in me to tap move to stop it instead of just letting it fly if it happens

lucid olive
#

on the last boss you entered Eclipse before pressing Incarn so you had 0 Dreamstate stacks

copper junco
#

wonder if I had a proc for the foe

lucid olive
lucid olive
#

there's a case to be made for proccing Firmament before Incarn on big AoE pulls cause of the Boundless Moonlight damage but even then the 2 faster Starfire casts is probably more worth it

#

the AP gen part of Firmament is kind of a nothingburger

copper junco
#

ahh yeah that makes sense

#

gotcha

lucid olive
#

Starfire already so much of our dmg as EC and the AP gen is so high what do we need the extra Firmanment for if its just gonna overcap you innit

copper junco
lucid olive
#

Np bud good luck

crimson ibex
#

is there any good way to sim for something like stix specifically

#

trying to figure out if hero signet is going to be better than kezan

glossy jungle
#

Kezzan only good for long fights

crimson ibex
#

if I sim for 5 minutes (our current stix length) yeah its going to show as good but if the short duration im hitting adds getting the signet bonus is better

Is there a plater profile that any of you people like to use?

dense steeple
#

i mostly play things default

ivory geyser
#

mostly default as well, although i'd love one that highlights mobs without moonfire.

#

going to look into how to do that tomorrow

full gazelle
#

Jundies is good. There are mods for missing dots.

ivory geyser
#

Jundies for Plater? what mods do you suggest?

full gazelle
#

I don’t know offhand but mine change colors from red to orange with sunfire and green with moonfire so when I see the plates solid green I know I’m good. Quick search in wago would probably get you an answer.

ivory geyser
#

ok, thanks. that sounds perfect

full gazelle
#

It cancels out the color coding for jundies tho for specific targets

ivory geyser
#

gives me a place to start at least

full gazelle
#

Highlighting prio mobs etc but once you memorize which mobs do what I found it pointless

ivory geyser
#

makes sense. thanks 🙂

full gazelle
#

Np

livid jay
#

theres a script/mod that makes it only change the color of the name depending on your dots so the bar colors from jundies are still visible

#

gotta ask gamz if u wanna know which one exactly it is

Guys, starfall with 2 target or not ?

Or first boss of Mecagon

on a fresh alt that im gearing for m+ with no chance to be clearing mythic raids isnt buying house of cards with my 3 dinar a no brainer? given even on heroic track how strong it is?

lofty depot
#

If u prefer a 1.5m CD sure

#

But no, it'a not out right better than mythic priory

wary stream
#

I have a question regarding high end push keys for mage funnels strats. When we bring extra adds to boss for mage’s funnel should I starfall or just do the regular single rotation ?

lofty depot
#

If the adds don't need to die and u are specifically trying to just cleave off boss. Starfall does less to boss than surge yes

jade flume
#

Starfall so they dont say ur dmg sucks at the end of the run

#

Unless its a premade then it depends if u care how fast the adds die, purely for boss dmg u would starsurge

cloud lion
#

Or just tell them u gona focus on boss so mage have funnel

#

If its higher key people would understand

craggy sonnet
#

At prolly 4-5 targets, you actually could get even/more DPS on the prio target from the extra AP when starfalling

cloud lion
#

In 10s they would make fun of u cuz they are gamers

jade flume
craggy sonnet
#

Yes

jade flume
#

Link if u have it

lofty depot
#

Extra ap from starfall

#

Hmm

wary stream
fossil hemlock
#

How does starfall get you extra AP?

jade flume
#

Ap from dots

#

Since u extend

craggy sonnet
#

Dots

#

Ye

cloud lion
#

Maybe he means not to redot

jade flume
#

It makes sense but idk where the cutoff would be

#

For it to be more st dps

lofty depot
#

Maybe they should kill th adds in 20 seconds

craggy sonnet
#

Sim broke even at 3t

lofty depot
#

Convenient the sim broke, smh

craggy sonnet
#

So prolly shoot a bit higher due to movement globals etc

#

Ok, good one

fossil hemlock
#

Would you breaking even be enough to make up for the lost funnel?

cloud lion
#

For last boss in rook or even 2nd boss i would go full st with arcane mage while in prio if u pull hyenas and sharpshooter i would def starfall

jade flume
#

Im starfalling regardless ngl

#

Fuck the funnelers

royal zenith
#

yeah you would

#

filthy padder

jade flume
#

Im starfallin

#

Aint nobody stopping me(or inviting)

cloud lion
#

See 2 nameplates instant strfall

#

In a big pull with incarn: Make sure everything is dotted or spam starfire/starfall?

jade flume
#

Dot everything insta

craggy sonnet

#

Unless its a mob that dies in 5s

wary stream
#

Dot first then eclipse then incarn no?

lofty depot
cloud lion
#

U want 2 fast cast of starfire in cds

royal zenith
#

you guys need to talk about the specific scenario

#

else you can't give the correct answer

lofty depot
#

Idk what that funny gif means

jade flume
#

Its travolta

lofty depot
#

The guide is in the pins

royal zenith
#

probably doesn't know where the prio list is

#

cause you just randomly shout "check prio list"

#

like a monkey

lofty depot
#

Idk it's the internet

#

Learn to use discord

royal zenith
#

yeah exactly

#

use words

#

communicate

lofty depot
#

No

crisp badger
#

i hate it when tanks do half a big pull, and then 7 seconds later pulls the other half

royal zenith
crisp badger
#

idk why they ever do this

#

but they do

lofty depot
#

Discord for 10 years, doesn't know what a pin does

#

Tragic really

jade flume
crisp badger
jade flume
#

You are pretty vulnerable off the rip so sometimes need a second to stabilize

wary stream
lofty depot
#

Talent is beans

lofty depot
#

Dreamstate >

jade flume
#

I mean, it just helps, better tanks probably dont have to rely on it as much

crisp badger
#

its just cringe that i pop incarn after dotting and then he pulls more mobs i have to dot

#

and i never know if i should be mad or not

jade flume
#

But theres a lot of things to consider when tanking like getting meleed by all mobs at the same time etc.

#

I would also sometimes delay some mobs while waiting for defensives to come up

#

It shouldnt be every pull tho

#

Only sometimes

crisp badger
#

but yeah should not be every pull

quiet drift
#

Chaining like that is very bad

#

Dps loss and inting aoe stops

craggy sonnet
#

some tanks just do it all the time for no good reason

#

its just freestyle

crisp badger
#

it's such strange behaviour i swear

craggy sonnet
#

and terrible

quiet drift
#

Youd rather gather a good pull than force some scuffed chain

crisp badger
#

also tanks that insist on chain pulling

#

when you have a boomie and a rogue in the comp

#

like pls sir lemme get my outa combat dreamstate stacks and let rogue stealth

royal zenith
jade flume
#

Need to optimize the kezans

craggy sonnet
#

chain pulling is not really an issue for boomie

crisp badger
#

if you dont

craggy sonnet
#

you get dreamstate stacks whenever eclipse drops

#

idk

#

unless stuff is pulled in during incarn

#

its really not a big deal

crisp badger
#

ye true, but sometimes you end a pack with eclipse, and then the next back gives you dreamstate

royal zenith
#

think chainpulling is fine if you're boomie

craggy sonnet
#

for boomie specifically

royal zenith
#

especially if you run kezan

crisp badger
#

so you can 2 extra dreamstates during eclispe

#

yeah i dont run kezan

#

i would understand kezan or even card

royal zenith
#

so talk to your tank

crisp badger
#

i do

#

im just moaning here because im bored

royal zenith
#

I see

jade flume
#

Its the yapchannel

crisp badger
#

what is discord for if not for yapping okayge

royal zenith
#

does anyone actually know how much you'd gain by getting more dreamstates

#

or is it purely speculating

#

and feelcrafting

crisp badger
#

idk numbers but its for sure a dps boost so i dont see why you wouldn't want to optimize it

royal zenith
#

cause it's time loss

crisp badger
#

and its not too hard to optimize either

#

mm

lofty depot
#

For sure 👀

royal zenith
#

if the gain does not outweigh the benefit of chaining, what's the point

crisp badger
#

i guess if you wait too long

royal zenith
#

you really can't compare us to assa rogue

crisp badger
#

what classes actually benefit from chaining aside from uhdks?

jade flume
#

Its probably less of a class gain and more just starting on next pack while the leftover mob just passively dies

royal zenith
#

^

#

why wait for that last bit of HP

#

gotta go fast

crisp badger
#

i mean fair

royal zenith
#

it also just means you can't pull in patrols and what not

jade flume
#

Im just a disc priest 1 trick raid logger tho

royal zenith
#

I dunno, don't think it's efficient to stop combat

#

so dreamstate better be big

crisp badger
#

yeah i see your point

royal zenith
crisp badger
#

pulling patrols in is fine if timing is shite

#

on initial pull

#

its more about knowing i guess

craggy sonnet
#

aside from rogue, chaining stuff (like actual pulls, not pulling pack after pack into the usually single pull)

#

is def a dps gain

#

like its just faster

#

and if its faster then overall dps go up

#

you also still have starfalls rolling when mobs come in etc

pallid bay
craggy sonnet
#

but its not always feasible with the way stop setups work

#

didnt even see this on phone

#

just run a ST sim and then a 5t

#

look at the prio dmg

#

nothing special

lofty depot
#

Smh

#

Clankz gatekeeping the sim

craggy sonnet
#

clearly

quiet drift
#

Youd never want to Starfall if talking funnel

#

The marginal gain of starfalling doesnt outweigh the funnel mobs dying 2x faster

lofty depot
#

My overall would definitely gain more

craggy sonnet
#

depends, if you can pull in more funnel it doesnt matter

quiet drift
#

Huh

craggy sonnet
#

if your mage wouldnt gain another touch/surge anyways, it doesnt matter

quiet drift
#

It does matter?

#

You gain more ap from SotF also

fossil hemlock
#

Yeah starfalling hurts your own funnel

pallid bay

#

well ok, thats a fair point

cant believe MDIers are playing critgem..

Movespeed gem is goated

pallid bay
#

if you're not going fast you're going slow..

craggy sonnet
#

agree

#

i dont even know if just dotting (or just sunfiring) the extra mobs is actually better than starfalling for prio dmg

#

apl tinkering type of stuff

If ur gonna cast anything during incarn that's not Starfall, it's not likely wrath

with how spread most adds are starfire feels cringe af in most situations

Seems odd to be surging and dotting things

Who?

He's in a guild that kills it a minute faster

so if you kill it a minute slower

you starfire?

#

Yea, I meant u could be dotting things

cerulean summit
#

Ig I was just thinking, well the mob won't live long enough to bother starfalling but Ig I shouldn't even be dotting at that point

lofty depot
#

Well u starfalled after surging there

#

So idk

#

And if they were just coming out, u could've pre starfall'd

cerulean summit
#

ahh yes that's def what it was

#

before ball hits and the adds come out I just surge typically

#

so I should be pre starfalling I see

lofty depot
#

Generally can have 2 starfalls rolling when they come out

#

Then trees between boss and some of them, and slam

gotcha

# lofty depot But dot the far shit bud

something that always raddles my mind is that I watch a lot of people who don't dot stuff and some do. It confuses tf out of me. Like, the compendium says something like if mob lives for 6 sec moonfire it and sunfire similar but reduced by amount of mobs. The thing is, I see people play fights like vexie, stix, etc. and they don't dot all the mobs that live for that duration

lofty depot
#

Its likely neutral or close on vexie

ebon parcel
#

for mythic bandit,.are there any visual clues for adds that has already been hit by coin

iron chasm
#

But don’t quote me on the visual shield, I just slam the adds the weakaura tells me to

#

And by slam I mean dot and fill with starfall while wrathing the prio ranged add

ebon parcel
#

i am not sure when i should stop the starfall and change to starsurge
is there a weak aura on top of the head of the adds that can let me know that the adds still can take damage?

elder remnant
jade flume
#

You do know that they only stop taking dmg at 25% right

lofty depot
#

It no one does that

jade flume
#

Early on u just spam starfall and can stop when theres only 1 add tbh

#

First 2 adds shouldnt hit 25% threshold without already getting hit by a coin

dry compass
#

And @lucid olive probably needs to confirm but I'm pretty sure it's a mob needs to live for 6s worth of moonfire ticks in order for the gcd of applying moonfire to be more dps than normal single target rotation

#

But if those alternative GCDs are say... Casting starfall on 8 targets and not single target rotation

#

Or starsurges within incarn

#

Then the duration that mob needs to live for moonfire to be worth goes up dramatically

#

Because the GCDs it's competing against are also way higher value

#

oh ik, I just trust his decisions for the most part

#

is this something we actually know the answer to or are we just guessing?

lucid olive
#

vibe it out innit

iron chasm
#

It boils down to am I going to be dotting the mobs while they’re alive and when I finish dotting am I going to have the gcds to cast starfalls and get starfall ticks onto them before they die vs my dots are not worth the gcd and I’m better off starfalling to ensure I do get damage on them before they die

Well u said u already knew we don't do that

I think I might have dot bikers week one if they were really far away but I mean it’s a 2 pull boss just slam vexie with the power of nature

yeah Ik we don't do that, was curious about bikers

if the bikes are stacked then throw a sunfire on them idk

on the set that overlaps with your 2nd treants maybe sunfire a stack and then throw a dream burst wrath or something

yeah i think if you're at less than 2 seconds, about to overcap AP and you're forced to move for a mechanic then you can probably cancel

but idk if its an increase to do really

cause could you have just moved earlier

or been in a better position

planned better
