yea trolled by sion
but why risk
what else is new
should I use heroic house of cards over mythic signet in m+?
maybe
and maybe not
in game 3?

depends how you play your cooldowns

they're about equal but playing for 2m use is cringe
I think they will try this game
probs
Im mean Im just using signet with like every other incarn
yea no clue what they can do
dunno think may have been possible if camille is ahead
if you end up holding signet for incarn you're better off playing hoc instead
actually now we can see cs
only mid is kinda big
but cs dif isnt actually all that large
dolan trolled gg
ya
sion senna 
not being allowed to ff pro games is a mistake
it's not banned no?
ye you get fined if you ff
omg its the rank 1 feral druid on the broadcast
furry propaganda
for balance, is it troll to craft two 681 rings with both haste/mastery stats?
yes
itll translate well into new patch but for now it is
what should i craft instead? as stats
ask the robot
im trying to gear my boomy for s3
oh like a stat priority run?
sim it

do you think its better to buy jastors instead of crafting the 681 ring?
considering circlet isnt beat by any mythic ring right now, ofc
heroic jastors*
the only gear decision for s3 u might wanna make right now is not relying on a cloak to have embelishment because raid cloak
i just crafted 5 items today so i have something to flex embellishment on early season
when are we doing weeklies gamz
are u on for season release
he did not look happy
nah i mean my 3rd druid needs crests
yeah i aint logging in outside of raid before patch hits
boost specialist

I find it interesting that pro sivirs tend to go essence reaver
or well, logged in to spend 10 minutes getting 1000 market research today and got trenchcoat
just had this convo like
30 mins ago
lemme copy paste what i put
yun tal bigger one item spike
ER nice cause of crit
u pick sivir because u want to get good wave clear when u might not be ableto answer a lane perfectly
not to unga bunga fight one item
for fight it for sure is
er is also vibes
you dont have 25% crit
on 1 item spike
you have maybe 5
possibly not even that
or oh wait
I understand what you mean
yea 25% crit is way better
then the passive
25% crit
is 25% more dmg
just straight up
30% as even with 100% uptime is less then that
like its not close
what a fight
you forgot to mention that yun tal has AS and ER ability haste
because its a lot stronger when full stacked
like 1.5 item spike
its also stronger once you have blue buff
mana regen from ER is fairly fast useless
yun tal also gives AS when ER gives cdr, the cdr is also not particularly useful once you have navori
wth was that
that was so weird
rumble 11
gg
wtf did faker do there
bro they dont even need this faker guy
faker? more like frauder
doran ran at them and then they died
thats what happened
press r win game
nah talking about his tp into recall

but yea this is
ogre
its all ogre
renata goes kinda crazy when u dont pair her with kallistdog
dog
that renata r
4 game series is fine
its game 4 tho
guma didn't even do anything on that jinx game, keria spoon fed. So its up to him more than jinx
it's over after that so its game 5
nice save
genggggggggggggg
ezpz game 5 predict
massive $15 profit
makes for way more fun gameplay
took them way too long to go to double elim too
double can take the hype out of results like when g2 beat rng in worlds for sure
what da helly
gg t1 i guess
so weird
feels like they just left him multiple times
well that baron fight, oner and doran go and everyone just running back to mid
yea
almost had the reset on chovy
all cuz they dont put faker on kassa or zed
surely he go 1v5 clutch
on good champs
geng super controlled as well
that was literally perfect
they just take picks
perish
and go next
ults away from mf ult into an aatrox
gn league chat
dumb question, but for ptr, in order to carry over dryads to the next incarn, do you just need to wait to incarn until 50 seconds left is on the next charge
good night puppy
sure
most of the time u liekly use at the end of said incarn
and/or they change it and u can only use it like that
well u dont need to worry about the cd of incarn
the buff lasts 45 seconds u need to use it before it hits 0 its really not that deep to think u would just press incarn at like 5-6-7 seconds left on buff starfall 2 times then trees and send
don't you? you want the dryad to extend to the next incarn, so if you incarn and your next charge is like 1:10 away
it won't last
in keys mainly where you wont start with 2 charges all the time
wouldn't extending just be better? assuming it stays like that
on bosses, not trash that will die
i assume its not staying like that
but it also depends how they fix the buff
adding some like logic to it and adding something like "next 2 surges in THIS ca"
but idk depends how they change it
i assume they fix any/all of the degen things ur currently doing
That's hopeful
I'm garym not hopeful
For M+ for one button do we use Elunes or keeper?
you swap feral
doing just 10-13 key with my balance druid, but feel so weak all mobs die so fast and i didnt even ramp up. what key do you play Elune? just doing 3.5 over all in Prio.
elune in all keys. what is your comp as it may be a case of key too low and youre just losing, rightfully, to burst classes
also numbers in isolation isnt a guide indicator, if you have logs, even better
https://raider.io/characters/eu/blackhand/Nironi
im not even sure if my stats are right, if s1 chan check on it would be nice
i go pug in keys currently, and dont have logs
and how to you make sure you dot everything? in big pulls there are so many healthbars moving around
shows ur feral this is balance channel
yeah but you can click through and see theyre talking about this run in particular: https://raider.io/mythic-plus-runs/season-tww-2/22223371-10-priory-of-the-sacred-flame
ooh 😛 yeah i tested something just with same gear i did same dmg in feral was bit weard to me ^^ give me a sec
it doesnt matter just sim your gear
im pretty bad at simming, some settings i have to put in so it shows wrong stats?
only thing i made is compare 2 items for example
erm, yeah, you may be doing something odd here, you can sim topgear with 1 boss 5 mins and itll suggest things gear wise
without logs its hard to help with some specifics
and how to you make sure you dot everything? in big pulls there are so many healthbars moving around
personally, mouseover macros and i dot as its gathered or i get prio mobs then send cooldowns
https://raider.io/characters/eu/blackhand/Nironi up to date now, but i will learn how to simm
ya sim cause the rest is irrelevant
how is balance on next raid with set
still too soon to say
It looks like the tier set is going to synergise particularly well with elune hero talents and won't complicate the rotation. Am I huffing?
People don't want this pragmatism, they want something that's pinned and decided on in absence of numbers or logic or fact
So, how's balance next patch?
its for sure over
EC tier set doesn’t change your current M+ gameplay, yes
@stray cedar ☝️ soz bud
sweeeet
I sure hope that EC is going to be very viable in raid too 😄
viable isnt a thing in 2025
as everything is viable
only depends on your goal
I guess viable to me would be getting 90+ parses
as that would suggest it isn't too far behind keeper
if u good u could do a 90 without tier set tbh
Do you think EC could get 90 parses vs keeper without tier?
idk if id call that viable
Viable depends on the content you do
You a heroic raider?
Everything is viable
yeah, I get you - I'm saying what I meant by asking whether it was viable
like for example if I look at warcraft logs for mugzee
not a single elune parse in the top 1000
mythic mugzee?
ye
cos you prefer the playstyle and theme
Preference isn't a thing people take into account on a fight like mugzee
Check HC logs instead
Heroic parses are a weird metric cause the bottom half are all buyers
yeah so if the top parse is 86
We dont know how tuning will end up for next season yet anyway
that's below 90
yes
That's decent
you know rank 86 isnt 86th percentile right
I don't know what you mean by percentile - I said 90 parse
screenshot it so we can understand what you are calling that
thats a 76
that's mythic number 1 EC parse
gotcha
no wait
it means he beat 76% of the moonkin playerbase on this fight, not that he has the 76th best performance
how viable is EC likely to be in raid, and showing that what I mean by 'viable' is getting 90 parse +
So you might be able to improve on that
90+ parse in hm or mm ?
I just dont want to answer that question because it fundamentally disagrees with how normal people think of viable
And also
We can not possibly know
So like
?
either tbh
Based on a very small data set ATM it looks like it wouldnt be even close to viable according to your reasoning
Ashitaka is French
not answering the question
and its HC
not HM
😠
dude i swear i go right now in hm and do more than 90 parse on everyboss with ec
No?
yes
hm parses are filled with trash
yes
log it then 😛
icba
What about Roi du Chrome?
prove to me that it's capable of 90 parse
i dont have to prove you anything
Chaudron du carnage?
1mil gold and i'll play it
Vexie et les ecrouabouiilles?
wont play this dog herospec in raid
ok buddy
so it's expected they gonna parse bad
this is viable

i think as long as u hit the ilvl to queue for lfr you are viable for it
wait that's lfr
ofc lol
no way I'm ever gonna get logs liike that on anything higher than lfr
but yeah if the best logs for EC on heroic mode and mythic mode are so low
that's sad
for sure you wont ever parse 100 with ec in raid yeah
i mean, "ever" is a big word but you get the idea
New one is unknown
But I wouldn't expect Blizzard to suddenly want to swap the hero spec niches
But they might be more closely tuned
mm that would be interesting
Maybe if light of elune had a significantly higher proc chance on single target
and then followed SQRT scaling
Also consider that generally the best players are not playing ec in the raid. The data will be negatively skewed
at this point I feel like they should get people who like that level of infuriatingly complex messyness to go play games like Trap Adventure 2 and let wow start to return to the MMO that it always should have become
That's what normal mode is for
I don't see the issue
LFR/Normal are on the level of like burning crusade raids
main difficulty in LFR is your group
i queued LFR last week to finish some dinar quest on evoker and gave up after 2 bosses, people just sprint right into a boss room and pull the boss with no thought of who's with them
ended up doing cauldron with like 8 people and the rest all standing outside
i have r2 EC mugzee using OBR 
they're that bad cause the players playing EC are that bad
EC isnt as bad as their performance
100k gold like just from farming?
nice
im doing amirdrassil open world druid forms now
yeah
are these amirdrassil rare druid forms on a h2 respawn?
can you farm or once day/week
week
weekly 🙂
bruh
When playing the game the right way becomes making mmultiple of the same class
devs did something very wrong
agreed
or... levelling entirely new characters just so you can try to farm a specific travel form
Is cyrcle circlet still one of our rings in S3?
no
source?
surely theyre not going to let that be a thing
would be epic
fathomdweller is nerfed on ptr
sadge
Currently trying to finish timing 19s and pushing for title, one of my group members was mentioning seeing some boomkins playing convoke in TOP, any insight on this? I tried looking through logs and didn’t see anybody playing it.
ask them ?
I did, they don’t know. That’s why I’m here.
You’re helpful.
top100 keys logged on TOP shows no voke
seems like theyre really helpful too.
no one plays convoke
I didn’t think so, that’s why I asked. I’ve looked at the same data ashitaka posted. I came to the same conclusion as you all. However, I’m confident enough to realize I’m not the best and sometimes there are small things that matter a lot at the highest level. Sorry for wasting your time.
u didnt waste time
Fucking crazy bro
no time wasted
someone in your group wasted your time by not showing data and spewing
this
probably the mage

please confirm
maybe focus on the fact he's trying to figure it out by himself
which is a good thing
nope, focus on the spewer
i dont see anywhere arctic or i being derogatory

can i get a confirm on the spewer?
idk don't think anybody meant to be rude
^^
known rude person
What am I confirming?
who the spewer was telling u to play convoke
who cares
You want me to out my friend that is just offering something to our group that they saw in a key? They might have been playing with a bad boomkin. They said “I don’t know but I saw it” so I did what I’m supposed to do and researched it.
Why the fuck would i need to validate anything to you?
it's not that deep just ignore arctic
damn bro why crash out
The guy has pinged me 3 times and I’ve attempted to leave the conversation.
You're helpful.
I didn’t answer him the first 2 times on purpose.
could just leave and not answer
asap is literally in the right here
tragic
its literally just arctic
oh yeah I know
gr
are there any shenanigans on this pull or is this just a thing boomkin can do next tier? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/W2dCgpG4DTkv3ZN9?fight=23&type=damage-done&pull=8&translate=true
carried the 4pc buff from previous pack into boss
then sent it with treants + incarn when they came up
that's not like a bug tho right, just playing optimally?
and yeah that'll be a thing we can do next tier assuming its not nerfed
4pc buff lasts 45 seconds
the only bug with the tier set is that it should be doing more damage
so as long as you don't press starsurge again you can hold the buff for 45s?
ye
seems like a very generous window
and with talents giving CA a 90s recharge you can do that for 3 consecutive windows
and play it like a 1 min 30 ramp
i heard there are purges coming
it can get worse too.. hes still using trees before incarn here
when u could hold them for 3 seconds so it goes into the buff window for the final 2 aswell so u would then get 4 giga buffed surges
if this is too good it would get spymasters treatment and reset on combat no?
assume they would just lower the buff duration rather than add a flag like that
It's m+ lol
Ahh fair.
dreamstate resets
Buff duration impacts dryad damage or does buff start once dryad has done their important business
it doesnt impact dryad damage
dryad currently doesnt do damage
When the Dryad despawns you gain the buff for 45 seconds
also buff means the after dryad duration. Dryads Favor
ok gotcha thanks for clarifying
which is the 45 second buff
reading the tier set feedback, is there a dmg cap for the dryad buff?
Yes
5% of total damage done in 10 seconds, capped to 50% of your hp at despawn
yes u can buff said hp
how are these starsurges hitting for like 200M?
modifiers
cuz that damage isnt just added at the end
jb are you actively trying to get us nerfed?!
hes trying to play boomkin next season
I'm trying to decide if I should delete my rdruid for next season
If you have 14m hp when the Dryad despawns your cap will be 7m, then you add modifiers like Moonkin Form + CA + Treants + class tree magic dmg stuff
etc
I guess I'm wildly underestimating what these mods are doing
The gameplay is basically how consistent can you be at hitting the cap and also hope the Starsurge crits
No shot it goes live like this
I mean it's just a repackaged venthyr playstyle, moonkin has done this shit before
There should be a cap, but the cap should be like arbitrary "you should never hit this", and then the actual effect should be its own damage entity applied on Starsurge hitting the target, so they're able to whitelist what modifers it should scale with
yeah the cap should just be to prevent degen shit like going into Stockades and hitting a 2 billion cap and then zoning into raid and Rextroying the bosses
cause if you accept a summon when the Dryad is still alive you zone into raid with the buff
same as if you die to raid boss when the Dryad is up you ress with the 4pc buff
"pool bunch of dmg, pop it on one target" is inherently broken as shit in m+ but won't look crazy in raid
it can
yeah it can be an issue
Except venthyr u didn’t go bear form to multiply ur dam lol
you didn't use the cheat venthyr macro and it shows
"u didnt go bear form"
Yea I fotm hopped once tettles got me into kyr u right
?
tettles kyr was season 1
Yea
he said kyr thing s1
So I didn’t play boomy s1 or s2
and then night fae s2 🙂
but we did bearform back then yeah
entering form and canceling form was 2 stacks right?
well not just form, you needed hasted bearform
the macro would like incap roar, cancel, stampede, cancel etc and give buncha stacks in like 3 globals
iirc ye
don't remember
I only remember spamming dispel at start of key
i rememebr the incap roar stampeed shit but cant remember fully
only 39, smh
Roars were for some reason counted as 2 spells
just remember recording the video to show other moonkin in guild
The shapeshift and the spell itself
oh yeah that was it
loved furor
furor 😭
that Eranog raid testing was so much fun
then they brought it back and nerfed it
the group i was in couldnt hold aggro for shit cause 3 moonkins were just spamming a macro and doing way too much dam
take me back
similar vibes to that
no bug, just timing cds
boomie man
it feels really good to pull off(obviously) but you can int it
but its pretty lenient
having a rewarding gameplay loop

Hi just wondering if I have WoE and FoE up but eclipse window is 2-3 seconds away from needing to refresh, do O hold them both and use it once im back in eclipse?
Gotcha, ty
WoE you wanna press also once youre out of Dreamstates
So itd be 1 Starfire in eclipse into WoE

dropped*** two weeks ago 🙂
😦
need some help if someone has the time. I just got the Amulet of Earthen Craftsmanship and I have no idea what embellishments or gems to use. in short i have no idea how to set this up and everywhere i look it's something different. any help would be greatly appreciated
thank you gotta be honest i've never heard of that site till now
its always the first to get updated
btw you know its new season in like 3 weeks right
yea but i gotta be bis bis for week 0 m0s wtf

Bloodmallet to be optimized
Hey guys when do you swap between KOTG and EC builds inkeys? is there like a key level that below is KOTG is better
since things die faster
What does this mean
When things die too fast for EC to be useful
has nothing to do with key level
fair fair
If you're pugging just go EC
If you've got friends to play with play KOTG until like idk 10-12
its shrimple, imagine surge does 300% of your spellpower times any mods
now your surge does (300% of SP times mods) + (6M buff times mods)
man such a banger
aye just did a 12 FL and felt the same mostly. mb im at the range its all the same.
last i did KOTG was in S1 with convoke
without it it 'feels' the same as EC
took the build form dreamgrove
I just played EC starting from 2s, was mostly playing with new players and alts so everyones dmg output was low enough for EC to be worth playing
aye fair
i just still had in my mind KOTG = convoke
im sure some ppl still run it
KOTG is convoke yes, still
oh right we're talking about m+ KOTG
yeah no convoke there
not for long, rework on the next ptr blue post holy we are so back
MIGA
make incarn great again

brotherman

is this you irl
maybe
very nice work




do you still need to starfall in ST for the new tier set to be good?
its good without that shit
yeah but you can juice it the heck up right
u can just chain CAs
theres a cap to the damage
so u can juice all of them regardless
and theres plenty of people not doing starfall funny tech and doing good damage
idk u tell me what is that
oh thank god.. I was kinda dooming because my two characters right now are DK and druid, unholy looks like it's gunna be trash, and all frost DKs are forced to take breath.
fdk is fine
yeah but I hate breath
and doing funny tech stuff usually doesnt hit
and gets removed
but also, pressing starfall between cds is like the least techy thing weve done
a bad paint job
why its chanage to 6 % ?
ow starfall aoe maybe
using wrong dummies
not use wrong dummy using, starfall damage pvp dummy maybe
yea i think

im asking in TW bc of the leggo
you can't use old legendaries in TW anymore can you

havent done a TW. not a clue
you cant ye
I can
i can and i shall

To get fire chicken from tindral, do you need to be a Druid to loot it
yes
How else would you find a chicken to set on fire?
ez
turns out I just had to run it on a warlock
do you have to a certain dungeonlevel on ptr for it to scale u to 710 ilvl
idk if its specific but ik 10+ is scaled to it
I was curious to see if any of the old old stuff in the game would also scale up to 710
to see if anything did some wild dmg for fun
sadlyt it does not
gonna .... u again
IM JUST BORED ALRIGHT
go be bored on ptr and find the next cook
next.. cook?
yea like whats for lunch
left over bbq
just buy the new gear
hell yea
PvP vendor has jewelry
my beloved
were middle of the pack buff plz
If ur not first ur last blud
minigamers 
If im in the middle of dotting stuff in keys and have enough AP for starfall before using Cd, do I still press starfall or only when Im about to cap on AP while still dotting stuff?
I like your enthusiasm. I need some of that
have u seen dhs
this is fine, immol aura as top dmg? nothing to see here

these are your mates btw

minigamers....

I played balance for the first time on stix and apparently you don't play convoke on that boss? are you all filthy padders or what
yes
u just keybind starfall
whys my 2min convoke not doing damage to the boss
noob..
Man i played convoke on stix yesterday
Apparently rik is not stix but i didnt realise when picking talents gg
whenever u want to pick twin moons u drop natures balance
ye no idea why i have twin moons talented tbh it was just the build i had when i speced balance
still did more damage than i ever have on feral
u do 0:00 CA trees convoke , 0:30 CA trees, then 1:15 trees alone then 2:00 CA trees convoke. you probably desynced trees. Also convoke targets random shit so if the spells go on non-dotted things you miss out on mastery.

It's PTR + I had to do that in order to not delete a pylon
it's kinda tight to time it so you send giga starsurges during double damage phase
did somehting change with heart of the wild. most of not all moonkin videos/streams from ptr i watched use it
something to do with bear form hp pool effectiving the tier set damage
since its based on your total hp pool
@lucid olive correct or am i trolling
this feral is converting soon.
nah they are gutting this tier set massiverly and feral will rise from balances ashes
DMG cap is based on max hp, you can push your max hp up using bear form
ah true, i hate that, hope they fix it
i mean i liked some degenerate gameplay in the past but nowadays blizz mostly changes stuff like that if that would be the optimal gameplay
if im on araz as feral defo calling for a damage hold on the pylon phase
so 2min class acutally have cds
for the amp
is the startsurge dmg + 4pc dmg calculated on cast or on landing? i.e. do both starsurges need to hit while the treants are still active for 24% dmg or just cast befroe expiring
Generally damage gets calculated on cast so i assume it would be the same
But i havent tested it and its blizz
on cast
In s3 is kotg way to go for m+ ? Or still ec any news
will know for sure in a month
for now you can play anything
kotg seems to bring good prio with 4p, but ec has better overall as far as i've seen
Hi. Good morning. I wanted to ask about how much do your latency to the servers affect your DPS. Im a latam player and im used to play near 150-200ms so im wondering if this could be a factor on my average damage. If so any doods with similar problems have any tips?
in general it shouldnt cause an issue as long as its stable
tip: move to better place
like not america
When doing small aoe (4-5 targets) when falling out of eclipse, do you prioritize getting to your next eclipse with wrath/starfire over keeping dots up? Or just continues with dots and let surge procs get you there?
If ur on 5 targets u should be starfalling and it keeps dots up
But yes, u want to spend the least amount of time outside of eclipse as possible
Thats how i feel as well. So far i have mostly just transitioned to spamming wrath/starfire to get into my next eclipse as soon as it falls off. Even if it means my dots are falling off. Every guide will tell me not to though.
Well u u shouldn't be letting dots fall off
H shouldve redotted at the end of ur other eclipse
But again as stated, ur in AOE u should be spamming starfall and have no issues
with aetheral kindling talented, dots should never fall off
I guess i should practice more. I usually get the problem when starting in Solar eclipse
you shouldnt get in solar eclipse in an aoe situation
As i spend my surge procs i guess i slowly transition out of lunar?
wait are we speaking retail ?
God damn, sorry for the confusion. I am in classic 😦
LOL
lmao
...
this is great
i sent a pm with the classic druid discord link
ask there 😉
Thank you so much 🙂
honeslty had me rolling
that was a fun interaction tho
haha
classic players LULW!
Can't wait for classic+ to come out with proper boomie tuning
That's gonne go so hard
I live for pressing starfire
but can you parse 90+ in EC ?
When I sort for EC, yes

have yall heard of the newest third world country?
35 is the temperature of the air in the shadow
a road getting full sun value is getting way hotter
you've probably experienced how you cant walk barefoot on a road in the summer sun
ok it was 30 degrees apparently
yeah it was 38 degrees here like a week and a half ago
but our roads never melted lol
thats crazy
part of the road is slumped up the kerb from a few years ago
mostly because buses stop there

sinking into it
big solar value
have you ever thought about why solar eclipse increases nature damage
cause photosynthesis ig
considering a solar eclipse is the phase where the sun is covered
Don't need to worry about that anymore cuz they're gonna delete it
the images are the wrong way around, if it was a solar eclipse the image should be of a dark moon and vice versa
i didn't realize it until i rewatched Last Airbender a year ago
they at least got it right
Blud said Last Airbender and not avatar
That's the fake avatar, made to make us forget about the real one
Stupid blue people
avatar last airbender is bis
So true bestie
Would
is there any PTR build for M+ i can copy? 🙂
current EC build and stix KOTG build iirc
