no reason to MF all 3 then treant, and then surge on 4 targets

vagrant cove
#

I was under the impression you put moonfire on anything that will live 6+ seconds

#

Or was that only M+

obsidian jetty
#

treants apply moonfire

vagrant cove
#

Oh

obsidian jetty
#

their single cast can apply up to 6 targets with twinmoons and 3 without

#

oab is fucky since they are spread out, but you can target the 3rd add you will kill when you cast treants, they will run at that one

#

and if you're lucky it will dot the middle one+3rd one

vagrant cove
#

Okay well i was more focused on boss damage anyways so im not too stressed about that particular mess up, thats also why I was starsurging instead of starfalling too. But thankyou for that info thats really helpful to know

obsidian jetty
#

1st one that dies generally dies fast enough that you can ignore moonfiring it

vagrant cove
#

Ill keep that in mind cheers mate

obsidian jetty
#

well, if you're focused on boss damage, spamming dots will lower that

vagrant cove
#

yeah very true

#

when i pug i more often than not focus the boss because every other bloke and their dog pops cds for aoe damage so i feel like i just give more value to the raid if I let their cds kill what theyre trying to kill and I just solely focus the boss

#

unless im playing something that excels in aoe, like when I was fury warrior last season

#

Kinda like how arcane is taken to high keys for their prio damage, instead of taking another dps for more aoe. Altho my prio's not that great since im shithouse

obsidian jetty
#

sure, but that screenshot does not fit that narrative. So I was going off the narrative I saw

#

if you wana slam boss, then don't dot, if you wana slam adds, don't do 3x moonfire (right before casting treants,) and press starfall

vagrant cove
#

The narrative you shouldve saw was me mocking myself for fat fingering a button I didnt mean to, but you instead saw I was dotting stuff when I shouldnt of been and tried to explain it to me. All well and good but just clarifying that it wasnt my fault haha

#

And its good info so i do appreciate it

good morning everyone, coming back to balance after a while, quick question: When should I go in solar vs lunar? Is it 2+ targets lunar and 1 target solar=

jolly delta
#

yes

cloud plover
#

I know not what this solar is, for I am the chosen of Elune

whats AK again

jolly delta
#

Aethereal Kindling

broken quail
#

oh yes I do

#

so basically 2+ targets with ak it's the aoe rotation

#

spending on starfall

livid jay
#

yes

#

any PTR cooking?

#

loving the touch of dryad, feels incredible.

#

maybe we could have a thread to gather PTR comments and stuff?

#

Is elune looking to be the play in s3 aswell in Keys?

scenic mist
royal zenith
#

plenty of PTR cooking, just talk about it in here?

twin lotus
#

The KotG felt better to play on the dungeon on PTR, but I think playing CoE like current season is not the correct way to play PTR. Maybe now we have to charge the damage amp with SS into FoE starfall

spice roost
#

coe?

twin lotus
#

Chosen of Elune

spice roost
#

oh elunes chosen ok

twin lotus
#

For the raid i had prepared both hero builds but dint get the chance to try

#

For st, i was going to try new moon, stellar flare (instead of mushroom) and convoke chosen of elune build.

#

I dont remember, but did we play mushrooms on AoE s1?

But the auto ones

pulsar kite
#

for just mythic +, I've got my 3 dinars to spend on either hero HoC or myth Wax. I wont be mythic raiding to the myth versions of mugs or HoC or BiS. Should I just trust in the sim?

jade flume
#

If its this close id just take hoc

#

On use trinkets are more valuable in general, when u do a big pull and pop hoc on ur cds u will get a lot of value, and a lot of the times u dont want a hard pull to last too long

#

Which hoc will help with more

pulsar kite
#

thats the suspicion I had, cheers

bronze oxide

What disc should we be using as chosen of elune for mythic+

#

I just play mastery but i got high haste tbh

royal zenith
#

I simmed it and got my answer

#

kinda crazy this technology exists

pseudo merlin
#

what

#

how did you do that

royal zenith
#

Ill send you an affiliate link, one second

pseudo merlin
#

ah thanks!

chrome sandal
#

I mean i think on the belt you want to play either haste or versa but never masteries

pseudo merlin
#

versa and masteries might both be good

#

just sim

chrome sandal
#

I mean i wanna but dunno where it is on raidbot

pseudo merlin
#

top gear

royal zenith
#

you add the variations you want to sim

#

via top gear ye

jade flume
#

I dont see any good reason to not play mastery tbh

#

As long as it sims well

pseudo merlin
#

Anyway I just came from the dentist and he butchered my jaw (implants) any ideas on food to eat that isn't acidic or spicy or has spices and also is liquid but isnt hot or soup

chrome sandal
pseudo merlin
#

we pas a cap?

#

The only cap is that line you just made up

#

How on earth did you reach that conclusion

jade flume
#

Yeah other stats can be better, i just simmed patchwerk and master was same as crit and versa

#

So i just kept mastery

#

And haste was a lot lower

#

In the end differences between these 3 are pretty marginal so it dont matter too much

pseudo merlin
#

vers for surivability, haste for vibes and mastery for chads

royal zenith
#

think people still have a wrong understanding of what a cap means

#

it just means there's DR on the stat

pseudo merlin
#

🧢

#

you put caps on your head

royal zenith
#

it can still mean that mastery has more worth than x stat

#

with DR applied

jade flume
royal zenith
#

it doesn't mean you stop wanting that stat cause you're at 21k or w.e.

chrome sandal
#

it's not what i meant

pseudo merlin
#

What did you mean

chrome sandal
#

yeah it's can still be good but the more you go in the DR the more you lost value

pseudo merlin
#

What

#

That's like a bunch of meaningless bologny

#

Idk why people assume that sims don't account for <random thing I thought of and got hung up on>

#

Sims do

lucid olive
pseudo merlin
#

like you dont ever need to think about that

pseudo merlin
jade flume
#

I mean he isnt wrong

royal zenith
#

Well he kinda is

jade flume
#

DR reduces the amount of stats you get

royal zenith
#

the amount yes, but not the value

jade flume
#

Yeah, but your responses make it seem as if hes saying some crazy shit

lucid olive
#

I value you Deux

#

and that's no cap

pseudo merlin
#

🧢

royal zenith
#

I don't know how to respond to compliments

#

leave me alone

#

say something mean

delicate perch
pseudo merlin
#

Deux you're not a real number

royal zenith
lucid olive
#

your pfp was prettier when it was black and white

pseudo merlin
#

so true..

royal zenith
#

yeah that's alright

#

change is good

delicate perch
pseudo merlin
#

Change is NOT good

#

Ask Obama

royal zenith
#

I think my guy wanted vers

#

but checking logs, I mightve not even swapped it

#

I did upgrade it's ilvl..

pseudo merlin
#

yesterday i ran the longest delve in the world (of warcraft) for the quest

#

then I realise it wasnt overcharged

lucid olive
#

are you not just doing t1s

royal zenith
#

sure fucking hope he's not doing 11's

#

insanity...

vital hound
#

amen

pseudo merlin
#

even on t1

jade flume
#

Man i havent even unlocked the versa belt yet

#

Maybe one day

pseudo merlin
#

please drop the a

#

it's triggering me

royal zenith
#

which one is fungal folly?

pseudo merlin
#

the one with jumpy mushrooms

#

and like water

royal zenith
#

I mean, which belt

#

you unlock

pseudo merlin
#

doesnt it say when you click on belt?

#

and hover over

#

I think it's vers?

royal zenith
#

okay you're useless ravec

#

get out of here

pseudo merlin
#

IM PLAYING CLASSIC I DONT HAVE TIME FOR THIS

royal zenith
chrome sandal
#

For me in order it's versa > crit >haste > masteries

jade flume
pseudo merlin
#

those top two results are basically identical

#

easy vers for the defensive aspect

pseudo merlin
jade flume
#

I got that one

#

Bis for bamkin

#

Got it first

pseudo merlin
#

im gonne do it on a need to have basis

#

aint no way im randomly unlocking powers

jade flume
#

I got all the stat ones besides versa lmao

royal zenith
#

looq is biased

#

confirmed

jade flume
#

Unironically ye

#

Heck versa its not a real stat

severe hollow
#

vers is the same as crit without rng

#

change my mind

pseudo merlin
#

change vers into multistrike change my mind

scenic mist
pseudo merlin
#

That take is so french it smells like brie

scenic mist
#

tbf i could rephrase as "nerf melee"

severe hollow
pseudo merlin
#

actually im down, i play ret

#

dont need expertise

scenic mist
#

the true come back i'd love is reforge

#

to give back value to a lot of pieces

severe hollow
#

reforge without hit and/or expertise is dumb

scenic mist
#

you'd be less disapointed looting a vers/crit boots

severe hollow
#

think thats really debateable and already true

#

but think the downside of that existing isnt worth the reward if you dont have fixed stats you need/want to have

#

if that exists I think reforge is fine

scenic mist
severe hollow
#

thats a great feeling

#

fuck him

#

if he doesnt care optimizing stats

scenic mist
#

ik

severe hollow
scenic mist
#

but we only get that if hit rating is back

severe hollow
#

(tbh fully optimized sometimes went below hit cap but I never did that)

scenic mist
#

🦹‍♂️

severe hollow
#

I actually like hit/expertise existing

#

assuming the not vanilla version

#

so you can actually hitcap spells and you can reasonably hit hit cap

scenic mist
#

just take away multishot

pseudo merlin
#

multistrike was poggies

#

it was cool crit

severe hollow
#

was in wod

pseudo merlin
#

multistrike wwas in mop

severe hollow
pseudo merlin
#

I remember stacking the fuck out of it on shaman

severe hollow
#

I checked wiki and it disagrees with you

pseudo merlin
#

vividly

#

well i played SoO for like 15 months

#

there was multistrike

severe hollow
#

from 2014 talks about it starting to exist

vagrant cove
#

Hey gang, so im currently 679 and I timed a +16 many ilvls ago. Im contemplating actually trying to push a bit with pugs and see how high I can climb, and was wondering if its worth trading off Cyrce's for a crafted 681 ring? I did some math and it looks like a 434 secondary stats trade off for 5874 stamina, the stamina sounds like it would help but I also assume that unless you're doing 21s or 22s that you should be able to live without that stamina or you're playing it wrong? (thats just a guess lol) Whats your thoughts

scenic mist
pseudo merlin
#

🧐

severe hollow
#

so considering the ppl during mop times talk about it soon to exist im willing to bet you are wrong

pseudo merlin
#

maybe it was prepatch then

#

I definitely played multistrike in SoO idk

#

Or wait

#

hang on

vagrant cove
#

I imagine im probably going to hard peak at +18s because I can't do mythic raid for mythic gear and im simply just not getting far with pugs and im also not exactly the worlds best boomy either, but still curious yknow

pseudo merlin
#

Was shaman mastery multistrike in SoO

delicate perch
pseudo merlin
#

That would explain it

royal zenith
#

if you can live, you keep

severe hollow
royal zenith
#

shrimple

severe hollow
#

no

vagrant cove
severe hollow
#

oh not resto?

pseudo merlin
#

nah i played enh and ele

#

feral, enh, ele, sub

delicate perch
severe hollow
#

well ele shaman had basically multistrike

#

since tbc?

#

maybe wotlk

pseudo merlin
#

yes but it didnt scale

#

it was just talent

#

like it didnt scale with stats like mastery

severe hollow
#

but yes ele had elemental overload in mop and think cata too

pseudo merlin
#

ye

#

im confusing it with ele mastery

#

my bad

#

anyway that was fucking pog

#

basically multistrike

vagrant cove
#

unfortunately i dont have a mythic raiding guild so i cant get much mythic raid done

#

I could probably pug the first handful at best in premade lol

delicate perch
pseudo merlin
#

just get a mythic raiding guild?

delicate perch
#

ya

#

I don't see the issue

vagrant cove
#

thanks

#

i wish i had of thought of it earlier unfortunate

pseudo merlin
#

you'´re welcome

delicate perch
pseudo merlin
#

its not too late

#

you got like 5 weeks

delicate perch
#

with a simpe swipe of a credit card and some auctioning of wow tokens, you too could have mythic jastors!

vagrant cove
#

Honestly next season I reckon im just paying for a full mythic clear after its on sale ngl

royal zenith
#

not worth it anyway

vagrant cove
#

Maybe even a few

royal zenith
#

only 20k upgrade

#

piss numbers

#

easily compensated by a swift and good route in m+....

delicate perch
royal zenith
#

this dinar made people have serious fomo though

#

ngl

#

pretty cruel

pseudo merlin
#

ill give you a good deal

#

you need jastor for the new season

Is there some sort of glitch with Force of Nature? Cooldown says 45 sec but after the first time I cast it the cooldown is only 30 seconds, then it is 45 seconds after the next cast

vagrant cove
#

Clearly im ready for that 43 priory now

royal zenith
#

easy peasy

#

thing is, survivability is less of an issue this tier either way

royal zenith
#

does make it easier for the healer

#

if you have more hp

#

but no idea how much the stamina actually is in HP numbers

#

if it's like 100k extra hp

#

who cares

vagrant cove
#

Lol i think it actually is 110k or something

royal zenith
pseudo merlin
#

minigamers do

royal zenith
#

I mean you should, but also shouldn't

#

you feel me??

pseudo merlin
#

id rather not

royal zenith
vagrant cove
#

Im basically looking for an excuse to wear something 681 instead of 658 because my ego doesnt like seeing myself with a lower item level

royal zenith
#

you can definitely just wear the 681 ring if you want

#

in m+

vagrant cove
#

Like "guys please tell me stamina is good"

delicate perch
#

sim whatever rings you have in mdt

royal zenith
#

it will probably be slightly better in mdt sims

vagrant cove
#

Yeah I mean I think realistically, if im in a key where the extra stamina isnt necessary to let me live, then im probably in a key where the extra 400 secondary stats isnt necessary for me to do enough damage to time it either

#

So i probably should just wear what I want and be a happy man

pseudo merlin
#

id take it

royal zenith
#

if the vibes are well, you play well

#

never forgetti

pseudo merlin
#

im dying to random shit in low keys

#

and it cant be skill issue because I'm an insane gamer

still relic
#

Sounds like a healer issue

pseudo merlin
#

tahts what i keep saying

#

but 🦆 says skill issue

severe hollow
still relic
#

For the healer

pseudo merlin
#

this guy gets it

#

super based

still relic
#

Ask him if he bound his heals

pseudo merlin
#

only thing he bound was hands behind his back

jade flume
#

I never die in keys on my bamkin(lie)

pseudo merlin
#

I ran back to back breweries, in the first I died to every brew DOT on 1st boss that I didn't have barkskin and renewal/FR for and same on every add phase group AoE on ipa

#

On the second I never dropped below 80% hp on either

#

final squid game season dropped

jade flume
#

Is that a wildlife documentary or sth

vagrant cove
#

Since treants cast moonfire, does that mean I dont actually want to manually push moonfire on boss pull like I have been?

#

Ive been doing double wrath pre-pull, moonfire, sunfire, treants, incarn, starsurge til sub 40AP and then convoke

#

But if treants cast moonfire then maybe its a waste pushing it two globals before treants?

frigid rover
#

it is still wise to moonfire yourself on pull, sometimes trees are a wittle late moonfiring before you're pumping out starsurges

vagrant cove
#

ah okay thankyou

#

My sim made me realise it didnt do it, but I assume the sim is like "a perfect world" scenario which would explain why it didnt honestly, in the scenario i imagine treants did it straight away lol

#

It does specifically say "its not a guide" so I thought id ask first, appreciate it

hollow bobcat
#

is it more optimal to refresh dots at the start of pandemic or let them fall off for less than a global before recasting

royal zenith
#

Pandemic is pandemic

#

you're better off worrying about using that global for movement

lofty depot
hollow bobcat
#

we dont get anything for refreshing in pandemic

lucid olive
#

when in pandemic just depends on your situation

#

"can I use this instant cast to move? is my Eclipse ending so I don't have to re-dot during BOAT window? is Starlord about to end so I don't have to re-dot while stacking Starlord again?"

#

only time you reapply outside of pandemic is if you're using cooldowns right after

#

like "i am about to use treants + ca, if my Sunfire will fall off during the duration of my CA i should reapply before using my cooldowns"

pseudo merlin
lucid olive
#

from the games?

pseudo merlin
#

Above pandemic you waste duration, below pandemic you waste duration

#

in pandemic you waste nothing

#

It exists solely to avoid degenerate gameplay loops like refreshing dots a microsecond after they fall off (like BM used to play around barbed shot back in BFA)

pseudo merlin
hollow bobcat
#

i see

#

thank you

teal coral
#

(raid) hi guys I don't understand why in my opener some pulls my wraths are fast casts and other pulls its normal speed i think this has to do with lycara's meditation do I want the fast casts or the slow ones?

quiet drift
#

Dreamstate

#

Doesnt matter which ones you have aslong as you get 2 wraths and a Starfire out without prepulling

teal coral
#

oh alright I wasn't sure if i was doing something wrong or not

lucid olive
#

And just replace your regular Wrath bind with that

teal coral
#

alright thanks alot does this affect my dps?

lucid olive
#

No

#

It'll just make you cancel the Dreamstate buff before your Wrath starts casting so you never have the sudden faster casts of Wrath in your opener

#

It will never cancel once you're already in combat

teal coral
#

alright I see thanks a bunch

lucid olive
#

You also regain the buff once combat starts so it doesn't affect your damage at all

#

But at that point you've already casted 2 Wraths and a Starfire

teal coral
#

yeah sometimes I can't get 2 off b4 its pulled because the cast is too slow

#

i start casting at 4

lofty depot
#

That's cuz people are then pulling at 1

#

U can get 2wrath 1 Starfire off. If ur having trouble can do 3 wrath

#

And or just 2

lucid olive
#

It also doesn't really matter that much

teal coral
#

alright cool

lofty depot
#

It matters

teal coral
#

i want to min max so I think it matters

lucid olive
#

There's no big reason for the 3 precasts other than just like 50k free damage

lofty depot
#

That's big dam

lucid olive
#

If you want to min max your damage you regain that difference elsewhere

lofty depot
#

Also if u do the wrong opener I'll flame u

#

wrath x2 starfire sunfire moonfire starsure till im empty varies from 3-5 depending on idk what tbh

#

Pot trinket

#

Smh

teal coral
#

yeah i forgot to mention its auto pilot atp

teal coral
lucid olive
#

Your treants will refresh your Moonfire so you want to Sunfire 2nd so pandemic starts a global later

teal coral
#

oh I see

hollow mist
#

thank u gamz

teal coral
#

I also was wondering if moonfire has to be pressed at that point because trees already put it up but I might be overlooking something

lucid olive
#

It's better to just Moonfire yourself before treants

lofty depot
#

Yes

#

Trees r slow

teal coral
#

okay cool cool

lofty depot
#

U can surge 2 times before trees apply

lucid olive
#

Technically it depends a bit on your haste but it's better to be consistent

lofty depot
#

Wait is Lila doing bear form tech

#

That's more dam too

teal coral
#

yeah i start in bear

Omg is that the real gamz

Yeah, i raided in wildstar before wow

pseudo merlin

Was a really good game imo

But released pretty unfinished and it died

Datascape was probably the most insane raid ive ever done though

Hey guys, I have a question. I've been told that simulating the balance druid in dungeon mode doesn't work, only boss mode works. Is that true, or have they fixed it already?

cloud lion
#

for m+ people use MDT sims

young ermine
#

Which one are you referring to?

cloud lion

u can see under how to use

Hey, do I spam starfall for as many stacks as possible? Or do I just want to keep up starlor at 3 stacks and spam starfire in AOE?

Just wait til u figure out how to play properly and get a bigger hit than 57m

#

Then u'll be blasting

pseudo merlin

meaningful gameplay finally?

cloud citrus
#

ye biggest i got yesterday was 166 mil from just the surge + 100 mil from dryad

quiet drift

That interaction is getting removed

does the deer surge proc the favor?

broken ginkgo

imagine they just dont change the interaction and we just WIN the game

twin lotus

ok, gonna try it

#

perfect for this fight honestly

#

does it cast both starsurges or only 1?

are we good on raid or trash again

lucid olive

nobody knows

ask again in 2 months

frank grotto
#

how are we looking on ptr tests today tho?

twin lotus
#

so it does more dmg without consuming?

lucid olive
pseudo merlin
#

definitely on the meters

lucid olive
#

you cant really take anything from PTR testing when it comes to how a spec is going to be when season starts

cloud lion
#

So RF is back but faster and no stun penalty

lucid olive
#

other than rough idea of gameplay

pseudo merlin
#

atleast not two months in advance

frank grotto
#

i mean numbers can always change, im just asking how we are looking on meters today

#

its not that deep

pseudo merlin
#

Everyone understands the question

#

It's not that deep

frank grotto

45, I'm just trying to see what the opener is now I guess, do we just send the starsurges as we get them, or do we do the pool tech for the next ramp

meager storm
#

i dont think thats intended

#

just do whatever u want

quiet drift
#

Surely holding gets removed

thats why i dont think its intended

As in holding is much much better ?

#

I don’t hate the idea of a 3 ca cycle rotation

twin lotus
#

for ST u definetely send

subtle sail
#

I said theyre smart!

lofty depot
#

Oh sounded like u said "about as smart as adepts chatters"

quiet drift
#

Holding so cool cuz our gameplay just doesnt matter

#

outside of Dryad

#

sit in bear waiting for CA

cuz adepts are smart!

Sooo true

Hunter is getting nerfed forsure

Look at druid 2p

no matter target count

cloud citrus
#

ye starfall st

lofty depot
#

I think buff nerd to like 20/25 seconds and u can do funny tech 2nd ca then it's w.e.

quiet drift
#

Just make it so Dryad just casts the Surges herself

lofty depot
#

Then use buffs at the end of every ca

quiet drift
#

So CA being 12s feels less cringe too

small elbow
#

Watching Noctuss on AutomaticJaks stream. This is getting nerfed so hard lol

cloud citrus
#

ye what gets nerfed is the thing doh

lofty depot
#

It's FINE

cloud citrus
#

if it goes from 5%->1% or something smaller without the buff being 15-25 seconds

lofty depot
#

Evoker was let to stay the way it is

#

Boomkins, Im sorry, but as a shadow priest I must use you all as nerf shields, it's been an honor knowing you all o7

#

(we're both cooked)

cloud citrus
#

is spriest even cooked on st and mass aoe?

ornate inlet
#

from raid testing it's pretty spicy

#

idk abt keys tho

cloud citrus
#

like spreist can be top for once in st

meager storm
#

hunter and spriest getting nerfs before us

ornate inlet
pseudo merlin
#

ret will get nerfed first

#

two reasons:

  • instruments wings uptime during raid testing
  • ret is only allowed to be good post prog
ornate inlet
#

Is ret blasting that hard, I've only seen a handful of details screenshots

pseudo merlin
#

no

#

Ret gets wings if other people die

pseudo merlin
#

when you raid test: other people die

#

So people think ret is op

#

literally the exact same neverending cycle every tier

ornate inlet
#

classic

teal minnow

give us back stellar drift, kill the class in m+ idc give starfall the CD

Ya he has/plays a hunter so maybe

pseudo merlin

idk why boomie can't just be the BM of casters

#

make SD baseline

delicate perch
#

So real

vestal sail
#

Ok, I have to ask, is the tier set bugged or are the devs coming for Boomkins after this?

pseudo merlin
#

2 months till raid

#

dont get excited

vestal sail
#

Yeah, I'm asking if there's some known bug or is it a tuning issue

lofty depot
#

It's not a bug

#

It's a tech

#

Scroll up and u can read about it

cloud citrus
#

its just cooking the tier set crazy amounts, they have to change the set not just nerf it

#

even at 1% its still like 50% increased damage 4 set

lofty depot
#

Meh, might cap the damage or the increase then nerf the duration

digital berry
#

Nerf buff duration = gg

quiet drift
#

xd

lofty depot
#

It's fine if it's 20second

quiet drift
#

Boomie is good dmg

#

even without carrying over the buff

cloud citrus
#

capping the damage wouldnt be a very nice fix for aoe though

#

ye playing for build still top 5

#

foe*

quiet drift
cloud citrus
#

foe + elune

#

70 mil makes the sure do 130 bil

#

theres no cap on the buff im still gett 8k buff increases to starsurge

#

which is 200 mil surges + 150 mil dryad

#

the duration the buff lets it become what is now which im sure will be changed

lofty depot
#

Well if they nerf it to say 25 seconds. It allows u to do the tech for ur 2ne ca

#

So opener fun, then after is w.e. later

cloud citrus
#

ye 2 ca at 5% still pretty huge

#

esp for aoe i could see pulls doing 500 mil surges still

#

even with 2 ca instead of 3

lofty depot
#

That's fine

cloud citrus

😄

trees, trinket, pot
two surges
driad go away
SURGE SURGE BOOM

i dont think so?

hmm ok

vital hound

im just lowly white name tho

wait for the big kids to talk

its fun in a way that it produces big numbers and that its a bit harder to pull off with the timing of the second CA and second trees

but besides that its a bit degen

lofty depot

but sureeeeeeee ptr tech

vital hound
#

praying for crits each pull

and +/- 50m

livid jay

why is the driad also hitting for like 30 mil

is she using the surge buff without consuming it or sth?
