have you spent much time looking at loot sune
not really
This epic ring of item level 662 goes in the "Finger" slot. It is looted from Dimensius. In the Rings category. Added in World of Warcraft: The War Within.
wtf is cosmic damage
everything?

ive met this dood...awful person
Arcane, Holy, Nature, Shadow
ugly stats
Mfs just be making up damage types
Chimeric damage
haste is pretty cool
yucky
arctic convinced vers > haste now
guess which one is haste
smol number
gonna need more data
wtb bis list
no
it was satire
idk lol
Delete this asap
All clases have huge changes, balance 1 line xD
For the 3 items we get to pick this tier ;)
doubt we get dinars again, after the shitshow it was this tier, as far as I know theres been nothing on the ptr about it
he didnt mean dinars
I mean for the 3 slots that aren't tier/cantrip/cloak/etc
half our gear is locked in
ah my mistake
How are we feeling boys and girls?

Is our M+ build changing in S3?
incorrect
2x boomkin
glyphd/gorelul on top
shade vs honestly battle ROYALE confirmed
all boomies should quit the game. we're never going to be good again. doomers on top. despair is inevitable

Who's dropping BF6
I will be maining it during prog (bench)

wasnt world first like a decade ago
did they one shot everything
guilds in classic usually do
does anyone have a cooked build for EC m+ ptr
or do you just run the same from live?
u can use the one in dreamgrove
With buffs today: EC in m+ again?
we didnt have buffs today
?
the 8% funny picutre is 1 old but 2 would be to both specs
so idk why u wouldve thought otherwise
ya
Hopium if you will
its all the notes
not showing adept is crazy
reading.jpg
I knew without it tbh
can some1 update me on how boomy is looking for the tier in terms of raid dps. In terms of just getting a raid spot for buff doesnt matter but more in terms of numbers. Is the spec far behind, middle, ahead in terms of ST/cleave/AOE?
yep I can, shit
on a 14 Hall of At
are u in a top 100 guild and scared for ur well being?
its bottom middle of a sim, but that doesnt really mean anything until raid comes out and u can see timings and adds hp.
With the patch coming out next week you have to look at the bright side. You just cleared up 2 to potentially 3 days a week to do whatever you want for the next couple months!
poggers
what if u or they arent very good 👀

time to become a professional grass toucher
do not feel weak, not tier set could be better
Just keeping an open mind to swapping to boomy as we have 2 potential ww and 0 boomies and a lack of ranged compared to melee
answer the top 100 guild part of that
maybe they suck at theirs as me xd
it'll be fine for 99% of players to just play if it allows
not in a top 100
see now ur thinking
mark > no mark
ur likely fine and can play w.e. u want
tyty
well ur talking about m+
yeah i know, i mean in raid, we usually not the best spec
if you have decent damage, solarbeam going to carry us to keys
lol
Solar Beam is so overrated
AOE silence on a 45sec/1min CD...
plus vortex and typhoon
plus roar
sheezz, not feeling weak my friend
beam without chain sigil is meh
got em all AOE stops
and coordinating that in pugs is awful.
you can still vortex + typhoon + solarbeam
that sounds like a lot of non damage globals
still better that getting casted on the face and killing the key
just dont die
some spec ( ret paladins ) cant do a thing.
1.5min CD on AOE stop and he is done.
alr I'm not doing this 
blaze r u a pusher
sorry pal, not trying to fight ❤️
just love balance
i see it strong for those reasons.
damage is not i see off right now, maybe more could be more fun, but going to play it anyways
That's what they always say man
Every season it's the same just different spec
"oh shadow priest utility is so fucking good you NEED IT FOR EVERY KEY", next season psychic link nerfed 5% "oh shadow is so garbage it just has nothing in a key"
Every fucking time man..
turns out utility doesnt matter when one spec just does 20% more damage
Now it's Solar Beam and Vortex, in Midnight it's probably supernova and mass poly
death is best cc
Yee you bring whoever does the most damage and then you find a way to best utilize whatever CC they have
i find CC more important in high keys depending on which could be side turner
dispel been something that made priest OP in past seasons.
not king rules forever
beam 
Minigamers
Don't need to worry about what you need in high keys if you're playing boomkin this tier
ye blaze i think your cooked and dont understand why shit is meta
its dmg to make key faster> compensate route for cc available
ew\
its ok
cooked comment but ok
not always the most damage is the best
lay it on me
spill the BEANS
dryad surge buffed by 1100%, starfall by 700%, 4pc stores 2% of damage

god i hate them
LMAO
Those are some numbies
did they lower the cap
Other specs got set changes too I assume?
no idea you'll have to test cap in game
if they didn't touch the cap i guess it's not horrible
if they did then it'd be awful depending
ℹ️ ???
~1.2% nerf if they didn't touch the cap
Assuming this is due to just being harder to hit the cap?
hm taza trinket buffs too
No they want you to hit the cap
That's why the cap is so low
well cap needs to be confirmed in game
Oh. My brain is smooth. How is it a nerf then
where my sources
just how awful they made it who knows
huh they buffed sacbrood by 20% wasn't that a good trinket
It was
It was in season 1
This PTR it's been subpar
ritual forge nerfed 10%
Makes sense
altho i guess that's more a melee one?
do we reach current cap easily?
easily, no
if they chagned cap then it won't be a prolem now
but if they lowered it then maybe
you hit cap currently
or well pre-change
depends on the cap
unless you are saying that with lower contribution we could still reach a higher cap
because it increases the damage of surge dawg
currently its 25x... if thye lower it to 10x its less damage stores
25x = 3.2m
10x = 1.28m
also every time you hit the cap it's bad since you lose haste scaling
oh no. guess the convo was a bit misleading .. i was only talking about the 4p
that is likely a straight nerf even if they were to increase the cap
It's a straight nerf
It's a gigantic nerf in fact
I thought they would send the other shit and not also reduce the pool from 3% to 2%
surely they would only do this and compensate for baseline surge dmg or something?

ec in raid, lock the fuck in
yea if they dont buff keeper u just dont paly it
see u on farm
shrimple
wonder if it was intentional or they just fucked up
Blizzard just pushed hotfixes on PTR with changes to the Keeper of the Grove tier set, effectively killing it in all content
2pc
Dryad Starsurge damage buffed by 1100%
Dryad Starfall damage buffed by 700%
4pc
Dryads Favor cap is reduced from 25x spell power (intellect) to 6x spell power (intellect)
The damage attributed to the cap is now 2% reduced from 3%
This is about a 14% nerf Keeper of the Grove.
This is an immense nerf and has effectively killed the hero talent in all content for the coming season unless it gets reverted. An incoming aura buff to the spec will just result in you playing EC for all content in the upcoming raid.
<@&114146878353833984> pin

did they do something to resto 2p
holy shit lmfao
so .. how bad is ec looking guys?
wasnt it like 5.1
yall playing too much
EC was between 5-5.1
do yall know if star fall snap shots buffs?
no
ty
I need a new name 
#1 sad kotg fan
blizzard #1 kotg hater
@vital hound get ready
what io are you
Is this our “we don’t want you playing demonology” moment?
sure?
this is our "we dont want you playing" moment
MAN I FUCKING LOVE PRESSING STARFIRE EVERY GLOBAL WEEEEEE STARFIRE STARFIRE STARFIRE STARFIRE STARFIRE STARFIRE STARFIRE
we had a good run, might as well disband the discord
two tiers of kotg, clearly it's ECs turn
pls make sure not to overcap tho

Nah. It aint April.
why would they nerf the cap .. i dont get it
we still cooked? or did anything change?
read the pin
bro, it burnt and we got thrown in the bin
they're afraid of boomkin not being bottom 2-3 specs in the game
didn't mm get slapped
on raid not really
(I have not looked at rankings or how bad changes are)
he was already rerolling hunter
we werent under performing

i was not rerolling if these changes didnt happen
I am
we were very middle of the pack
but i refuse to play the unfun hero talent and also do tank talent
kotg had such a good set
oh, all the logs I saw showed us pretty low before this
but tbh some other specs were sandbagging sims
arcane sims were not fully optimized gear
seems like an intentional change to lower the burst of the tier set and they just forgot to also buff the spec to compensate.
shit like that makes the overall results kinda meaningless
shrug
let's not go back to where builders were doing more damage than spenders
logs of raid?
fuckin stupid design
Holy
they could buff hero talent shit
THE COOK

how are we in keys?
so cool
on keys im pretty sure we are giga ass
maybe people played ec
and got better results
but kotg
was already last
now its tank dmg
ec is prolly ok-ish
unironically tank dmg
gogogogo
if tettles hasn't tweeted by the time I go get lunch it's so over for boomkin
it's already over
it's already over
Just heard the news I’m already preparing my fur suit to go cat
nothing left but the kicking and screaming
resto*
resto sucks
No
prolly no tuning first week, if this doesn't get fixed by tomorrow we're locked in for at least 4-5 weeks
you just play EC
*feral
mage*
*different class
Nahhhhh
well starting to make new friends over there 
@lofty depot ur the only person dumb enough to play mage what spec is going to be good
When do we unequip this tier's set?
whenever you want, you aren't playing druid anyway
doesn't matter what gear you wear on the bench
just wear what makes you feel pretty
it is
no
playing EC in raid 
you just afk mechanics that would do 300% of a boomkin health
frost
theyre sim is uhhhh very high
they let dev evoker sit where it's at for like months with no changes
true 
they don't care if some classes are mega OP
as long as it's not arcane I am fine
we werent even op after changes
whoever brought up the dimensius 15s dmg amp earlier made them realize we cant have that
Bad news about m+
i mean bandaid fix for a problem they created - some other classes got MAJOR changes to almost their entire talent tree
nerfing the tier isn't the problem
1 week before raid choo choo
not making adjustments to the class is the real problem
ya mage will just be raid toonerino
aura buff 10% and play ec in raid gonna go hard
wdym

we got 8% aura buff
answer to that
that was yesterdays changes
they just made a post as a recap
Like seriously look at that shit compared to Unholy for example
not reading that essay
don't have to just read one line "All damage increased by 8%"
Boomkin rework gonna go hard
only frost* was promised a rework, no?
Never gonna happen
i mean same shit for hunters/mages/pallys/warlocks/priests
actual essays on their class changes
Gonna get some banger logs this tier being the only boomkin in for mythic progression
100% parses for class, bottom dps in your group by 10-15%
You had me at 100% 
I’m shitposting through the pain ok
lmfao
enjoy bud
Feral Druid time
feral it is ig

booty/cavey
wtf


PAUSE


I’ll start watching anime when I’m home from work to get into the feral mindset
is this repeating
No
there's a redot and a wrath in there
foe makes surge repeated for a little
see you guys in a few days when we get aura buffed and locked into EC for raid
insane rotation
are hedgehogs considered too?
The number 1 EC player
Well the fotmers are coming
I mean. Its still playable right gang?
yea definitely
I have absolutely no idea what this means help
flavor of the month-ers
woops
it's fine boomy being this bad for this long means that next expansion they might actually listen to us and slate some major changes in 2027/2028
Nah. Say it with your chest
Lol big % must be good
What
I swear
me when I used to read d3 changes
did I log into the PTR wrong?
Tldr boomkin no good for reals for reals on gawd
No that's correct
one of these days a % modifier is going to be out of whack by an entire 1
I cant wait
What are they actually doing like serious question
Murdering
playing fuckin darts
Chickens
good joke
serious answer: likely AI is responsible for the future of balance druid class changes
If they were actual dart players theyd be hitting their targets
kinda miss darts, shame I never know when its on
oh math, got it
theyre like when you go to the bar with your already hammered friend and he goes "i bet i could beat you in darts" despite youve never seen them hold a dart in their life
no longer optional
myth boots give 50% inc
no dedicated person to help oversee our class so they made an AI bot and gave it a prompt:
"Act like a seriously talented software developer/class tuner. Here is a class that you are responsible for updating and maintaining:
insert comprehensive class information
Given the above information, output some recommended class changes to make the specialization more engaging and fun to play."
Buff class damage by 8%
Tier too strong - destroy
normal 30, heroic 40.. thats big
it's like chicken wraps but with reshii
class tuning clearly a problem and challenge for blizzard and then they decide to add hero talents and 2 tier sets per class
Makes sense
We're unwinding a lot this patch - tuning coherency, class design, ethereals, sanity, general development best practices. Really the whole gamut if things that can be unwound will be unwound.
dont worry it'l only get better next xpac when it's..a short xpac
it's not really a problem tho
look at what happens when they mess up like now
ppl just say 'i'll play ano ther spec'
still playing
if wow didnt have mop classic it'd be circling the drain
Im still gonna play boomkin. That’ll show them
real raid changes when, lockouts included
You can make the worst dogshit imaginable it doesn't matter
That's just what your 15 bucks a month get you
what does new rework sim look like compared to previous lol
About 14% worse
Fuck
with my 1 functional eye is it a "let's force minigamers into raid" angle
You'd just play EC
Lol
Like every possible compensation buff they can think of doesn't matter
Cause you just play EC
Oh man this isnt real
is this it, every patch having a mandatory given item now
Yeah but youd just play force of nature in EC
made me throw up my tea wtf
Dont worry hes on the case
The treants would need to auto attack so hard that the 15 second CRD is worth it
On the case for 4.5m dps
why are we not asking the real questions round here
why are ogres still not playable?
That's crazy
Maybe blizz did napkin math
Saw the damage amps/timings were going to be insane for us
And said hell nah

They're so intent on EC being bis in M+ that they also made it bis for raid
tettles already working his magic
need to have EC reduce the cast time of starfire. can't be casting that shit in raid 
starfire isnt the problem like at all
Canceled casts = 72%
all the shit they put around starfire and the tier set make it kinda cringe
gib starfire a crit amp
its the interaction with lunation that makes it lame
because mechanic = less foes = less dps
buff lunar calling to 400%, increase starfire cast time to 3seconds
its not even a long cast
top 3.... longest now
not counting pyroblast if fire even has that still
dont hardcast it
It's not just casting Starfire
It's that you can't have any downtime between casting Starfire
You have to manually apply dots
..what if we moved while casting
Starfall does 0 dmg so you have no actual cleave in raid
Cause everything dies to melee meat grinder
is this guy ragebaiting
You have no real cooldowns with damage spikes, it's just flat dmg profile with FoE being an activator for your 4pc and Atmos Exposure
If there are any adds that spawn they get put on boss and melee kills them before you can finish Moonfiring them and casting Starfire
FoE does no damage cause it gets turned low since it's a damage activator
log it on we're hitting the crab
press moonfire
Also Starfire is a long enough cast for it to matter in raid
OBVIOUSLY
Cause Blizzard has admitted that Weakauras existing means they have to fill every mechanic with swirlies and snappy movement to make challenging bosses
And EC's worst enemy is movement
go to sleep
They'll definitely have amazing encounter design with no swirlies when they delete WA's!!!
Yeah it'll be all "go here, soak this, dispell that guy, kill the add, kill the boss"
Forgot drop this at marker :)
What % nerf to the ST do you think these KoTG changes are?
-99%
-14% to what was before the hotfix
dropping the largest moons ST EC build, kotg was wack anyway, cut the fuckin forest down
I tried to see what was the most dmg I could make a Full Moon do
It's still less than a Starsurge from nerfed Keeper set
But a long cast time
Preach
I'm sorry are we sure this is real? We took a massive ST nerf? I thought we were already simming like at the bottom for ST
Even for blizzard that doesnt make much sense
balance dev filled with incompetence and malice
But the aura buff will just solidify EC as better
Nerf the wrong things, buff the wrong things, panic aura buff...rinse repeat
circle of life
and death
I mean EC in raid seems really bad because you dont have the freedom of wrath spam
play havoc, zero patch notes gg ez
not wrong in that. only place you're wrong is expecting any diff from the game
but maybe you haven't been playing long, in which case now you know better
gas please bully the balance dev
when i read 1200% buff thought it was an april fools pin
I think he gets bullied enough
ya
they could buff the keeper tree still
fuck him
he works for blizz
bully him
The two piece looks kinda good, but the four piece looks really awful. 😮
and im turbo pissed now because idk how to play anything else
2pc is dogshit too
I feel that in my fucking soul
we werent simming at the bottom
1200% buff sounds like a lot until you realize it was doing 100k per Starsurge before and it casts 5 of them
can someone send me some ptr talent builds to test
honestly thats the most infuriating part
people are going to see the 1200%
and think its a buff
and that we're just crying
if it seems like a lot it isnt
if it seems like its small, it is
but isnt it weird that you pushed something that needed a 1200% buff which is still dogwater
Im not trying to start a fight or anything but I thought these sims (admittingly this was before the latest notes that nerfed alot of people) https://mimiron.raidbots.com/simbot/report/eeHVoCNTJeyW9gch51KhgK/simc show boomkin near the bottom
So is boomie gonna be decent next patch or nah. I mainly do m+ probably gonna go helaing for raid since boomie doesn't feel good in raid imo
well those arent reliable so
Take the EC M+ build from live
kotg for m+ the same or just giga dead now
beyond dead
You're trolling if you play it
sick sign me up
Okay, that sounds bad. 😄
those sims are junk
if im full send trolling imma pull out the moons
you actually lose braincells looking at that
hmm
by then who cares. prog only relevant time of a patch
Echo*
now THATS some cope
Wtf is a liquid who cares about water
Method 
I stand with my man Krona
Does the first part of the EC 4 set just have zero value on ST?
It just says it launches them at nearby targets
It launches it at your target and then splits to nearby targets
didnt even realize kotg was nerfed even more before i sent that btw wtb raid ec talents now
Wish they pinned info here
I get the parts that give some value but I was just wondering if the part that launches additional SSs that hit other targets
does anything in ST
Hope he’s given a microphone, always such a way with words 
Wowhead hasn't posted datamine so nobody will know the set is nerfed
Blizzard don't write development notes for moonkin
Waste of time really
Who’s going to read them? @iron chasm is the only balance Druid player left
i waas actually checking pins hoping for something good then i remembered what spec i play
That’ll teach ya
if you can't get 4pc but only 2pc, then you got a buff
it wil lbe they'll nerf old 4pc so it is
thats like 3 weeks into the season thing
liquid and echo gonna roll in with 3 boomkins. we gonna be fine
like they nerfed augs nerubar palace 2 piece what 3 months into the season?
It's an insane nerf
Changing the cap to 6x spell power means the 4pc adds about a Starsurge worth of damage at the end of your ramp
hmm anyone else getting this notification while trying to log onto their druids?
how much we thinking damage is for keeper and elune right now with the changes? napkin math?
Keeper sims like 4.6m ish
EC is like 5.2m
Feral is 5.7m which is what you should be playing anyway
pandaria angle
Yeah but you don't
haha
yea retweet that
so true
"they want u to hit cap"
statement of all time
do you want to sit in vc mute/deafened?
@ hytes
🫗
were revitalizing dg vc cuz we aint raiding
where does fury go in the opener, after convoke or before
fr
season off
raid looks like shit i didnt wanna raid anyway

on the bench
idk hold on
I just joined a mythic raiding guild, first time since Shadowlands. 😂
nah you just got kicked from a m raiding guild
That's not very nice. This is my chance to finally work on Cutting Edge. 😄
and u CA after that surge so u have trees for 2 seconds for the 2 surges after
you'll be able to get it on farm ig
why are you teaching someone the kotg rotation?
because there is always hope
its kotg for testing bruh
might as well learn both hero talents
Okay, enough dooming. I'll just wait and see how it all works out once the raid actually opens. Either we do well or we don't, but I'm still gonna play. 😄
you're not playing either in raid
because as a regular i will still help the less fortunate that are stil playing boomkin
LMAO
what wr is the guild
yeeah im still gonna play. ima be mad as fuck though
im memeing because boomkin just got taken out back and shot. its nothing personal
his guild means hes going to sleep forever
Around 1,300. 🙂
cuz he aint raiding
why sandbag tho
do you wanna pick up like an ecouple coop game
for prog
ec all the way
i said i wanted to do a dnd campaign with the boomkin regs
yea thatd be baller
timezone
would be
its ok. MM hunters say they do starfire long casts all the time
a fucking nightmare tho
i mean we just do it on the weekend no?
cause theres no chance im playing dnd sober
they saying if they can do it. we should stop crying and do it too
it would have to be like early morning for u
well like 7am or w.e.
jesus

my feral is nasty
i think you just do it
well some eu KEK
for na/eu
It's 5am now
oce we'll just fuck oursleves

THIS RAT IS STILL AWAKE
if blizzard doesnt do anything for balance i might have to step in and see what i can do
lol
I might have to intervene
just go retweet gamz tweet
i mean ....... its early for u and late for eu
idk what u want
since we hit cap so easily maybe its time to untalent foe xdd
we dont hit cap
what
we dont need tettles
we need his social reach
we need krona
no way we dont get 6% spellpower even with 2%
i dont think they touched it
KRONA!
tettles dooming cause he needs to rewrite his guide
we need goop to drop some slurs
?
cause then blizzard will listen
goop would never
do you want the image
Go Stormwind Stockade
true
im gonna go cry myself to sleep now
im putting this discord next to the DH discord
That's the dryad spells
1200%
2/10 only for dreamgrove.gg
Okay, enough dooming. I'll just wait and see how it all works out once the raid actually opens. Either we do well or we don't, but I'm still gonna play. 😄
i was barely off the cap a few times then
bro is actual based
i pressed int trinket so one sec
Okay, enough dooming. I'll just wait and see how it all works out once the raid actually opens. Either we do well or we don't, but I'm still gonna play. 😄

nice
if you believe. i believe
Oh no, we suck again
Surely 
it either is fine or it isnt. we cant do anything bout it

you'll be fine just play EC
u could tweet about it
they're known to listen to feedback
just change ur name to kalamazi first
EC with all the haste imaginable to avoid slow ass starfire casts just to feel normal again 🙁
mastery has left the chat
Hello? "Yes Id like PI as I cast only my starfires. Yes Im serious. Thanks."
Step 1, trick guidl to let you raid as boomkin
Cannot stress how much I hope every moonkin has a terrible week. Rats man
i blame @tired granite
Wtf did they just do to put new tier set lol
took it out back
it's worth 4 surges every time you press CA
i crit for like 21m
1200% of 0 is still 0
nah it does like 10% of my dam
8.5 + 1.2 = 9.7
thats a 1m pull so less over time cuz tahts 2 ca's
So does that put Boomkin in play, or are they just still far behind others?
it was a nerf
we werent far behind before this
we are behind tanks basically
Do we even want new tier now or we have to play ev
now we are
Ec
Reroll it is

on my frost mage or
surely it gets better
i gotchu brb

bro that was a 13% nerf or some sht
we are DONE
funny dev
good one now push the actual changes
In play (do not play)
didnt blue post about it either
Thats one of the more frustrating parts. If youre going to do something dont wait until late in the day and not say anything about it... especially when there were release notes published the same day.
@meager storm change name to glorps chosen?
Ya it's giga cringe to do this last minute when we can't change anymore probably

late in the day... u mean 5 days before 11.2 laucnh
I believe blizz can figure something out by tomorrow
If not monday. no work weekend so yeah. Believe!
Theres always hope. Never give up
u ever hate someone for being overly positive
they clearly wanted to tune the ratio of % gain from 2pc and 4pc they just giga overnerfed. hopefully they bump the int up to 18x or something
Lol
Im opting to not crash out right now.
Ima wait till Tuesday

Yeah. Im missing something
Never hope, always give up!
amen
are we playing dragons and mages?
