always had a fish cake/or sausage instead, closest I get to fish is fish fingers

pseudo merlin
#

Fish don't have fingers

drifting nova
#

it's also not fish

lucid olive
#

Fish fingers like Doctor Who?

drifting nova
#

sometimes anyway

#

or as the americans call them, fish sticks

#

boring as ever

pseudo merlin
#

I heard Kanye loves fish sticks

lucid olive
#

Are you calling Kanye a gay fish

pseudo merlin
#

Nah I'm just saying he loves putting fish sticks in his mouth

drifting nova
#

making the ...fish? gay

pseudo merlin
#

riot is the gift that keeps on giving

digital berry
#

what do you reckon is the easiest key this season? Gambit is probably my pick if i were to choose one

pseudo merlin
#

dome

digital berry
#

ohh also true

lofty depot
#

u get a myth item

pseudo merlin
#

more not reading

torpid skiff
pseudo merlin
#

The Arctic special

lofty depot
#

imagine saying not deathless

#

🔫

torpid skiff
#

I didn’t have time to prep on ptr or have 4 other friends that I’m even 10% confident won’t die instantly

#

So why even bother

pseudo merlin
#

Is it very different from the first time we had TV HM?

torpid skiff
#

First time around our friend group cleared it with like 60 deaths VerySadCat

pseudo merlin
#

IS there a timer?

torpid skiff
#

Not everyone is an S tier gamer okay 😖

torpid skiff
pseudo merlin
#

So you can just lust every pack

#

and stack mages or paladins or something

torpid skiff
#

Only mage anyone plays among us is me on fire and that seems to not be doing so hot currently 😐

pseudo merlin
#

I like the idea though

#

I'd love to try it if I had a group

torpid skiff
#

Also a thing I noticed is balance seems to be one of the best specs to play with high ping

#

Everything else I tried felt off but balance is whatever. Probably can throw in like 100 more ping , the only thing feeling off will be form switching

pseudo merlin
#

how high are you at

torpid skiff
#

Like 190-ish

pseudo merlin
#

oh that's not the worst

#

thats below EU beta ping

torpid skiff
#

Have to use a meme “gaming traffic router” though so not sure if that ping is accurate

#

Without one it routs via US and its 380

pseudo merlin
#

ouch

torpid skiff
pseudo merlin
#

I played a lot of fire in keys on last beta, wasn't too bad imo

torpid skiff
#

With balance you can play with your eyes closed There’s nothing to react to really

#

My eyes-to-brain and brain-to-hands ping is like 500 though so every little bit helps

raven gorge
#

how big is the difference between ec and kotg in m+?

lofty depot
#

kotg does piss outside of cds

raven gorge
#

ah dang

digital berry
#

ec is hella fun

#

in keys

#

compared to kotg

pseudo merlin
#

yeah

#

EC is great

digital berry
#

also super simple

pseudo merlin
#

EC is back to boomie vanilla roots

#

just spam starfire

dusk spear
#

Anyone else feel like KOTG is clunky on dimensius? treants in p2 seem to go wild

lofty depot
#

what part of treants in p2 is clunky

dusk spear
#

they seem to not focus the specific "mob-in-the-wall", convoke just doesn't focus attacks properly

lofty depot
#

in that situation u dont care what ur trees are doing

#

ur using them for the buff

#

convoke sends wraths randomly, but surges get sent at target

#

and ur cds should be up when u land on platform

#

so send them faster idk

dusk spear
#

i guess my main problem is that for the last 15 years i've played boomkin, it's played more like elune than KOTG, and i just need to convince myself i like that playstyle better and it's ok to do less dps

lofty depot
#

i think u think trees are supposed to do soemthing more than what we use them for

pseudo merlin
#

KOTG doesn't turn boomie into a pet spec

dusk spear
#

ok, then my next problem is i hate the circle, so i gotta figure out a macro to just place the treants by hitting "G" and not need to click on the ground

pseudo merlin
#

Macro [@cursor] into every skill with a targetting reticle

lofty depot
#

#showtooltip
/cast [known:205636,@cursor] Force of Nature;
/cast [known:202425] Warrior of Elune;

#

very shrimple

#

all u had to do was ask

pseudo merlin
#

playing with reticles is trolling unless you need to be hyper precise or are still learning

digital berry
#

is it like bad to spend runed crests this week?

pseudo merlin
#

unless you get some insane HC item I probably wouldnt

digital berry
#

i got heroic araz

pseudo merlin
#

id spend on that

digital berry
#

tempted to just 6/6 it

meager storm
#

send all the 701 pieces u get to 704

pseudo merlin
#

really hope your guild isnt going to also give you the mythic araz

#

so you probably have a good while before you get that

digital berry
#

i guess no need to spend now anyway

#

no more prog / raids this week

#

just a bunch of keys

pseudo merlin
#

but like assuming you farmed max hc ilv from m+ we are done with runed crests next reset right

shy void
pseudo merlin
#

just gotta use em wisely like glorp said

shy void
#

kotg 4 set is not the most easy thing to play...

#

i think a lotta raid moonkins are gonna like

#

not play moonkin this season

#

tough initial bump with the set bonus + not good

cursive mirage
#

the difficulty of the tier set is definitely why

shy void
#

after a few hundred reps of the dryad kotg opener it'll be kinda simple but until then...

lofty depot
pseudo merlin
#

yeah ik

#

youre gonne vault it or wait for dinaros

lofty depot
#

yee

pseudo merlin
#

atleast all the good loot is from early bosses

#

banger decision

lofty depot
#

kinda weird to dinar a #4 boss

#

but idk what other items we dinar

#

kris is the only late item

#

ig saladbar neck / waist

#

but likeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

meager storm
#

we couldnt dinar necks or rings

#

last time

pseudo merlin
#

^

lofty depot
meager storm
#

only the "rare items" or whatever

lofty depot
#

yea forgot

#

jastor :/

meager storm
#

but since there are none

lofty depot
#

so yea its just kris, antenna, araz

digital berry
#

Idk man o have received a total of 0 tier pieces from raid this week

#

I had champ track chest in vault and I Cata’d hero track pants

#

So like i am still wearing a ton of low ilvl shit

#

Just gonna grind some droptimizer dungeons for the rest of the week

#

Im done with my 10s so 8s it is

#

Dick and tired of waiting 15 minutes to get into a 10

pseudo merlin
#

only 15?

#

I give up after 90 invites

#

90 applications*

errant flint
#

Idk if anyone can explain. Was checking top logs for certain fights. Saw some druid NOT use trees with convoke - any reason they might do that. This was like a 99 parse player for that fight.

lofty depot
lofty depot
#

(generally tahts dumb)

pseudo merlin
#

good rng is good rng

errant flint
#

Buh I have to re-find it

digital berry
#

The only reason you’d ever convoke without trees is if trees are not up, convoke is, and fight will not last until trees are up

remote saffron
#

Hey guys, how are you doing?
How are you managing to generate enough Astral Power to cast two Starsurges before summoning the trees?

#

just spamming wrath?

errant flint
#

So yea that makes sense

digital berry
digital berry
#

Now did the fight end within 10 seconds of them convoking? Doubt it tbh

remote saffron
#

oh my bad i've copied an wrong build for st tho

errant flint
#

Im not good enough to know to be greedy yet.
The fight had at least 20-25s left after their 2nd convoke.

digital berry
#

It was most likely just a mistake and they were uber geared so they still 99d

digital berry
errant flint
#

Heroic btw if that changes anything but felt worth mentioning. It was a pure st no cleave fight. Maybe fractillus or mothman.

digital berry
#

Neither of those fights are 2 minutes fight tho

errant flint
#

2nd convoke would mean at least a 4min fight minimum or nah?

digital berry
#

Well

#

No that’s third

#

First is on pull

errant flint
#

Am dumb or convoke not 2nin?

digital berry
#

Yeah

#

0-2-4

#

Well technically the first one is 1:45

errant flint
#

Ah yea am dumb

#

It was an outlier from the other players casts I checked.

digital berry
#

Again, convoke should always be paired with ca and trees, unless either of those isn’t gonna come off cd before fight ends and convoke is up

#

Which only ever really happens with trees

errant flint
#

Wish trees would cast themselves

#

Stopped with H fractillus prog 2nd raid night so just browsing logs to understand things.

#

More H frac tomorrow

vestal bone
#

What log were you looking at?

errant flint
#

Oh one more: is the opener the same for Keeper in raid aoe as it is for Keeper raid st?

digital berry
#

There is no real raid aoe fight in which you play keeper

#

Not constant aoe

errant flint
digital berry
#

There’s some add fights but they are intermittent spawns

#

Im pretty sure most people play ec on soul hunters

dapper wing
#

Wanna post this because it's my first 100 parse, heroic soulbinder

#

Now ignore me and continue your good talks

digital berry
#

Also, if you have some logs you’d like to share and have people look at, feel free to send them. Tho I’m not sure if there’s many people on who do log reviews at this moment

errant flint
#

Why would we play Kotg on soulbinder H vs EC?

dapper wing
#

I played EC

errant flint
#

Is it bc intermittent adds?

#

In logs is 77% of players on H soulbinder playing KoTg

dapper wing
#

EC performed really well since it's heroic and add canisters were not going to be broken perfectly

#

farmed a shit ton of damage from all the adds coming in anmass

#

I'd assume KoTG is for coordinated groups of perfect breaking

loud kettle
#

Soulbinder adds evaporate

errant flint
#

They doooooo

pseudo merlin
#

cant even pad there 🙁

errant flint
#

Much annoy

loud kettle
#

Yea so you cant really play ec in those conditions ya?

errant flint
#

Cant or shouldnt?

meager storm
#

that boss will prob get deleted at some point from all stars

loud kettle
#

Semantics

errant flint
#

No I was joking but hard to tell

pseudo merlin
#

Well nothing is literally stopping you from speccing into EC

errant flint
#

Every spec has a degen way and an ethical way

digital berry
#

Ec in soulbinder is just shameless padding

dapper wing
#

EC is full degen for parsing on that boss

#

100%

#

Complete warcrimes

#

No ethics

errant flint
#

Gotta warcrime

digital berry
#

And you’re shooting urself in the foot most likely if your team is even remotely competent

errant flint
#

Watching my team sandbag their wowaudits

meager storm
#

its more about the group being bad and missing canisters than the spec itself

errant flint
#

So yea warcrimes it is

dapper wing
#

mhm, EC is only really for pugs that are gonna fail

#

I will shamelessly admit I FULL degened for that shit lol

#

Saving cd's specifically for it

fiery veldt
#

is the shutting down the compendium real?

digital berry
#

No

dapper wing
#

no

errant flint
#

I dont think degens get shamed here?

dapper wing
#

it legit says /s

#

(Sarcasm)

digital berry
fiery veldt
#

whew

pseudo merlin
#

./s means sarcasm

digital berry
#

There’s levels to the Degen

dapper wing
#

Degens get shamed if they are proud of it

errant flint
#

Whats good levels vs bad levels?

dapper wing
#

like genuinely proud of it

digital berry
#

Throwing convoke onto the dmg amped add on mugzee was not very shamed

#

Hence why it was removed from logs

#

Speccing ec to do negative boss dmg and holding cds for parses ? Cringe

#

Or like what the Chinese guilds did on one armed

#

Taking turns padding on adds

errant flint
#

Im probably not allowed to post my emoji

#

Bc I see parse sluts and I want some parses too

dapper wing
#

(TBF to my parse, I'm also rank 17 for boss damage so I wasn't full war crime add pad)

#

But my parse is 100% war crime add pad

errant flint
dapper wing
#

lol

errant flint
digital berry
#

You can parse 99 by just simply playing the character properly with good gear

dapper wing
#

True

digital berry
#

No need to do monkey shit

#

Especially not in heroic eww

dapper wing
#

You can parse 99 by fucking UP still

#

Did it on loomithar, fucked my trees/dryad/convoke window twice and still hit 99

wooden latch
#

Is there an updated dryad weak aura for the stored damage, I need some dopamine

digital berry
#

If you want dopamine I’d recommend rerolling

dapper wing
#

True

pseudo merlin
#

try gambling

dapper wing
#

Play mage, mage always has dopamine

meager storm
#

its week 1 most people are doing raids before sending 4 set

dapper wing
#

That too

#

Unfair advantage having 4 set

errant flint
dapper wing
#

As boomkin, nah

digital berry
#

You will have your dryad and you will like it

errant flint
#

And by some I mean all

dapper wing
#

we are good every blue moon for raid

#

M+ you can have your dopamine

#

last season

errant flint
digital berry
#

I still don’t have 4p so I’m convinced when I get it it’ll be real bad to get used to new opener and timing windows for double cas

errant flint
#

Wish 4 set meant 4x as much dmg

dapper wing
#

Relearning muscle memory, trying to not fuck up my dryad window

#

EC M+ is fun

meager storm
#

opener is pretty easy

dapper wing
#

Yeah

#

It took me like 3? attempts on dummy to unlearn the old memory

#

Kinda just send two surges after CA then pop trees

#

same rotation as before besides saving 2 surges for after dryad is gone

pseudo merlin
#

2 years from now everyone is going to be like "remember dryad? That shit was so fun, bring back dryad"

#

just like RF

dapper wing
#

Give me back Pulsar

#

I want pulsar

digital berry
#

How many gcds do you get after convoke in opener before dryad expires

pseudo merlin
#

I want dryad+pulsar+rf

dapper wing
#

Uh

#

Like 3?

#

something like that

digital berry
#

Wtf do you do just wrath?

dapper wing
#

I'm still learning so I hold my sends a bit

digital berry
#

Surge wrath wrath?

dapper wing
#

That's probably not the efficient way to do it

#

but I am

#

I'm just playing it safe till I can do it in my sleep

digital berry
#

It also depends on convoke rng no

#

Sometimes you get shit for asp from it

dapper wing
#

Like I fucked my window HARD

#

missed a CA'ed surge

#

due to not having enough astral

digital berry
#

Missed a dryad surge entirely

dapper wing
#

so yeah probably, Convoke -> Surge, Wrath till you send the 2 surges after dryad

digital berry
#

Like 50% of our dmg season 3

dapper wing
#

Still a 99 lol

#

4 piece broken for parsing when 79% of people don't have it

#

Surge, Wrath x2, Surge x2. Cry until your next Dryad window

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

digital berry
#

And out of the 21% that do probably 80% don’t know how to use it

dapper wing
digital berry
#

You also didn’t double ca

#

Huh

#

In what universe

dapper wing
#

I don't like it tbh

digital berry
#

What in tarnation

pseudo merlin
dapper wing
#

I'd take a gamble of hitting that crit and having CA up for my second dryad window

#

I'm not good at this game lol.

#

I just kinda did what felt right

dapper wing
#

Nah

#

Yeah

#

Yeah

#

Tree's for the second window

digital berry
dapper wing
#

24% extra damage on the second dryad

digital berry
#

99 parser btw

dapper wing
#

Versus 20% more crit chance

#

I don't know what's correct

#

Just did what felt right

digital berry
#

Must have crit every dryad window by sheer luck

dapper wing
#

I have astral antenna

#

As well

#

So crit chance goes brrr

digital berry
#

Double ca is what the tc believe to be the correct play afaik

dapper wing
#

Yeah, tbh they are probably correct

#

But until I see mythic parses and read through logs I'm just doing what feels right

digital berry
#

I think last i asked it was a 100k dps diff

dapper wing
#

oof

digital berry
#

Tbh not a big fan either

#

But alas

dapper wing
#

yeah, if it's correct I'll do it

#

when it matters, but for week 1 I'm doing what's easily repeatable without like thinking for myself

digital berry
#

Im just gonna pull timings from lorrgs and do the pew pew ing without doing the thinking

#

Since with double ca you have to hold and delay and shit based off of fight length and amp phases

dapper wing
#

mhm

digital berry
#

Can’t wait to do 2/1/2/1/2 on dimensius

dapper wing
#

I'm gonna miss my 1 and a half on use

#

2 minute on use hurts my brain with Control of the Dream

#

why is my cloak 707 on an alt

shy void
#

cuz 707 is LOL upside downand backwards

#

it's blizzard making fun of you for playing moonkin

#

kotg 4 set feels like subtlety rogue man

#

quintupled down on the bursty nature of kotg

lofty depot
shy void
#

mess it up or get a bad mechanic or don't crit starsurge and you get owned

#

do it properly and you get to be mid-low dps

wispy parrot
#

anyone has some good plater profile?

rotund acorn
#

was wondering if anyone can help me out. I tried to use the dreamgrove mdt sim link to try and get the weakaura to sim my self in m+ but that link no longer works, was wondering if people are still using weakaura for this, or if there is a new method i am just not aware of. like perhaps its part of raidbots or mdt and i dont need the weak aura anymore.

lofty depot
#

the weakaura hasnt been updated

what do you need clarified

just because mastery is our best stats

royal zenith

just look up the name of some rings you think work well and add them to top-gear

Probably only have enough interations to do one ring + gems though on the free sim

royal zenith

no it's noe maya

not *

but you can only do like per dungeon

#

it's very limited

royal zenith
#

and it matters more what drops for your character

#

there's only a few things that can be considerd 'bis' like your weapon or trinkets

weary urchin

more so just curious what absolute bis #'s sim around

in terms of dps?

How do we sim for gems? Any special settings to account for blasphemite bonus, or dont bother and go for same color gems as indicated by standard sim? I've not found the answer in the compendium.

royal zenith
#

noob

lofty depot
#

always use, only max colors

upper surge
#

thank you 🙏

weary urchin
#

if every ones sims pointing them to more of a mastery/haste/vers type split? lots of mastery/vers & haste/vers items being simmed as highest options right now

royal zenith
#

what about it?

weary urchin
#

already have 7k vers, just seems odd that is the type of item being focused.

royal zenith
#

why?

#

Balance druid typically cares most for Intellect and Mastery

#

the other secondaries are very situational

#

also depends on hero talent/talents in general

#

that's why you don't stack stats

fossil hemlock
weary urchin
#

this is what im simming

royal zenith
#

yeah it will want more crit/vers for your Cd window

#

cause convoke is not hasted

#

you want to slap phat starsurges

fossil hemlock
#

And when you drop Moxie jug you'll also want a lot more crit since it gives like 15k+ when it's up

weary urchin
royal zenith
#

on my EC loadout it equips lily (mastery) and on KOTG loadout it adds a second crit trinket

fossil hemlock
#

Mitigated by getting the Loom'ithar trinket

#

(I think that's the boss)

weary urchin
#

yes

fossil hemlock
#

That also gives a bunch of crit from the orbs

weary urchin
#

wowhead is just misleading a bit then. confused as to why the sudden change in secondaries but pointing me in the direction of 4s cleared it up.

royal zenith
#

It's not really misleading, as it's prefaced with "always sim" and/or disclaimers telling you to check

#

but people still have the "what is stat priority?" question loaded into their brain, from 10 years ago

#

wowhead caters to that

weary urchin
#

have you looked at it?

royal zenith
#

ye

weary urchin
#

So either y'all are wrong, or this is misleading.

round field
#

its more like

#

you can play both with the same gear

royal zenith
#

yup, and both mastery/haste are good for balance in general

#

it really depends on what you think virtually the same means

#

you can also just equip a ring with completely different stats and sim the difference, to see how much it affects your guy

Hi guys is m+ deserter still in the game ?

Rotation question (because my normal parses are grey and green) - do you hit CA as soon as it’s available or wait until your current eclipse ends?

Hi guys its normal that with new 4 set all sims remove all haste from gear? I have now like 8k only and i feel like so slow now

not like it'l change anything, look at league for example

#

blizzard cant even learn from other games

tulip snow
#

how can I see the tier set pooling numbers when on the training dummy?

lucid olive
#

But some quick math you can figure it out

#

You can not pool for more than 10x your intellect

#

So if you have 100k intellect that's 1 million, 1 million is 3% of 33.3 million, meaning that any damage you do over that number in CDs does not count towards the pool

open harbor
#

do we even pool EC 4pc or do we just send Fury on CD?

lucid olive
#

On cd

open harbor
#

so its kinda irrelevant to track it in a m+ or raid scenario, right? cause... why do i care?

pallid bay
#

well they can expire

#

so tracking when it will can alter your decisions

lucid olive
#

I had a 6 stacker expire to RP yesterday

#

Wanted to hearthstone

pallid bay
#

truely a masterpiece of a tierset

open harbor
#

does it refresh? i just got 2pc lol

lucid olive
#

Yes refreshes when it procs

#

But only lasts 20 seconds

open harbor
#

tyvm

tulip snow
# lucid olive You can't

this is what I saw on tettles vod that made me think of the question, maybe I'm just incorrect of what I thought those numbers represent

lucid olive
#

Idk if it's updated for the 10x cap

tulip snow
#

ooh ok, so I guess the blizz API for that isn't doable in live?

lucid olive
#

Nah you can probably do it with a Weakaura

#

Just nobody has bothered doing it cause there's no point

tulip snow
#

that's fair haha, I think I'm looking for like a visual thing I can see for myself

#

does the WA still exist somewhere?

lucid olive
#

Maybe on Dsune's wago somewhere

#

You could also just make a simple Weakaura that shows the value in the dryads favor tooltip

#

But it's useless information and visual clutter

tulip snow
#

not like I'd use this for content

#

yeah

#

so the tooltip contains that info? of course it does, I was thinking of the buff/debuff tooltips

#

(in terms of dynamic numbers)

#

totally rubber ducking here

#

I guess I'd have to wait till tuesday for 4pc and see the buff for myself

#

@pallid bay can you paste the PTR WA for ya boi, I'm curious for myself

pallid bay
#

uh

pseudo merlin
#

potentially bad for fps

#

Could we blackmail some popular streamer into making a tier list where boomkin is S+ tier so we get invited in groups again?

#

When is it good to drop 4set? on 4 set from the new?

tulip snow
#

I've just been simming differences

tropic lynx
#

With the kriss dagger on hero track, do i still opt for crafting a 2h next week?

tulip snow
#

also same thing, sim it for the content you're doing

#

holding out for the set bonus would be good with the kriss, and just take the offhand craft

#

I think the idea behind getting the kriss is that you have 2 slots for crafted gear that aren't boots, belt, or cloak

tropic lynx
#

Is it even worth it playing the set bonus with kriss, u need to play with the trinket right?

tulip snow
#

yeah I actually walked it back a bit there on the set bonus

#

I think there's other trinkets that are better than having the set bonus

#

but also you can sim the scenarios

tropic lynx
#

so wait a weak and craft 2h unless i can get kriss on myth track

#

is what makes the most sense i think

lucid olive
tulip snow
#

cool cool

#

so yeah, the main idea is to make sure that your crafted slots don't fuck with the rest of the non optional gear pieces (at least for right now)

#

cause if you craft a 2H, where is your other nerubian embellishment going?

misty glade
brittle anvil
#

Thanks was just simming it 😛

misty glade
#

np, that question is asked a lot in here.

zealous zenith
#

this is not boomkin related as such

BUT why do i only have 2 fractured (1 whole) spark and people are out here crafting this week?

tulip snow
misty glade
#

massive.

tulip snow
#

you should only have 1 spark and 1/2 fractured sparks this week

zealous zenith
#

AHHhh im a fool! thought people out here crafting weapons haha welp

#

i am still missing the half which is weird

tulip snow
#

oh I mean like, you have 1 fractured spark this week

#

the other half to make a full spark

zealous zenith
#

thank you ❤️

tulip snow
#

then you can craft 2 things ( bracers and off hand ) or a single 2H

merry ibex
#

Does anyone have a list of the optimal talent builds for each boss? I raid tonight and I was just wondering, if not not I guess I'll go rip it off warcraftlogs.

tulip snow
#

made by the same people as warcraftlogs, you can check what people are using per boss/difficulty

#

from a quick glance, it's like the same as last season, except some people seem to have fun with the other hero talent on some bosses (which is honestly cool to me)

tulip snow
tawny cloud
#

Is archon.gg a good way to follow up on speccs or would you point me somewherre else? Ive been using archon.gg all last season

tulip snow
# merry ibex Thank you

possibly look at lycera's blessing in the druid talent tree and see if that applies to how your group/content is.

I will say that Soulbinder, Forgeweaver, and the Soul Hunters are cleave fights (in my experience) so play those fights as you did last season

tulip snow
tawny cloud
#

I see. Where should I start looking then?

tulip snow
#

well it's not a bad place to look

#

it's like getting a vibe from what people are doing on bosses in their specs

#

I think a combo of archon and lorrgs.io could be a introspective

tawny cloud
#

Yeah, I figured it would be somewhat legit. But honestly im not so good with all the talents and numbers, and just want to enjoy the game, so looking for the easy way 🤣

tulip snow
#

lorrgs falls apart the later the content goes on because groups just kill the boss in like 20 seconds and it ruins the site

tulip snow
tawny cloud
#

Yeah well I raid mythic and i do bad numbers so trying to improve this season. So im trying to learn and suck in all the knowleage i can

earnest plover
#

is leech on one item better than having a socket?

tulip snow
#

wow is in honestly a good spot right now, yeah people have quirks with it, but it's good

tawny cloud
earnest plover
#

yes but I can choose shoulders with leech from vault that I can catalyse, or socket

jaunty blaze
#

leech is whatever

hallow falcon
#

I am hopefully going to try H forgeweaver araz again today, but yesterday didn't go very well but got him to 16%. Very new to DPSing as balance, but I see that the main talent build used for forgeweaver on archon seems to be different than the standard cleave build. Very hard to tell if this is people padding or actually doing the fight as intended/trying to push it xD

I'm also trying to figure out if I should keep the collectors dotted through the fight - or only dot the boss/echo until the intermission? I do more damage when dotting everything, but I'm not sure it's actually useful to succeed at the fight

These are the logs from yesterday (yes I know I am very bad xD, just trying to improve, I haven't played Balance since Shadowlands): https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/C1kqWXGDBFJVhrHN

tulip snow
tawny cloud
#

What i did was focus one with wraths, and dot all 3 up and spamm starfall and near center to hit all of them.. No idea ig it was smart or not

tawny cloud
tulip snow
#

but yeah archon should be a good enough vibe since it's based off of logs that have actually defeated the boss

tulip snow
tawny cloud
#

We were told to get more single target dmg because we had like 15% left on boss when we got sucked in. And when we changed we got him after 2 pulls or so. So yeah that boss is a little depending of groupesetup

tulip snow
#

that boss is a huge DPS check imo, wouldn't be surprised I we saw nerfs after RWF

#

if you have other classes that are absolutely cranking their hog on adds then I would pump into the boss to make up for it

royal zenith
#

It's very much add-control

tawny cloud
#

I dont know all the short terms of stuff. Whats RWF and Hog? 😅

royal zenith
#

DPS is always a 'check' when you're undergeared

hallow falcon
#

legs are pretty good tho

shoulders are likely worst

why do people lie? "3.8k last season"

#

hover over..3k

jaunty blaze
#

3.08k

#

small typo

drifting nova
#

actually worse than self selecting classes ngl

digital berry
#

I understand why they would be so selective

drifting nova
#

ok but why not take a good class

#

instead of chicken and paladin

#

like warlock

digital berry
#

I haven’t even cleared hm for heroic drops this week

drifting nova
#

if I had a dollar everytime someone failed to list their group properly

#

I'd be rich

digital berry
#

Bro the one thing that pisses me off about lfg is those groups up for 15 minutes for a 10, like bro how selective can you be

drifting nova
#

these people need banning

#

one for the group reasoning

#

two for failure to put it under mythic

LISTING EVERY KEY NUMBER

drifting nova

digital berry

any advice

Wait for vault, possibly first mythic kill if you raid mythic

velvet sentinel

craft is bis, i went 1h dagger for the aforementioned 700 ilvl week 1 lol

do not use that third catalyst unless it gives you 4 piece no matter how tempting it is lol

You gotta be trolling to not have 4p by week 3

On this 3rd CA should I send dryad's surge at the very end of CA or should i wait next eclipse for boat ?

Hey guys, need a little help with a macro! I actually use a Brez macro with mouseover, but if i was shift in bear form, i can't use it. How i can add something to swap form and lauch it (only if i was in Bear Form). thanks 🙂

lucid olive
#

i think casting rebirth shifts you out unless you're specced into guardian no?

coral berry
#

Do youtank brann as tank or dps?

lucid olive
#

you only make brann tank if you're a healer tbh

prime hill
lucid olive
#

tooltips lie

exotic perch
#

you need 30 rage to rebirth in bear right

prime hill
#

Y, can't do without rage 🙁 So, what i can add in macro (/cast [@mouseover,exists] brez ) to avoid brain lag when my brez don't go 😄

delicate perch
#

you'd want to cancel bear form in the macro, but really if you're in bear form as balance and need to res you're probably dead shorlty anyway

lucid olive
#

doesnt casting rebirth in bear just auto shift you

formal marsh
#

Are you tuning the APL by hand or utilizing machine learning?

exotic perch
#

didnt know rebirth was considering a human form

lucid olive
lucid olive
exotic perch
#

cause im p sure you shift out if you do it in cat

#

but bear has a rez just costs rage

#

the ferals are prob pissed about that

lucid olive
#

yeah but unsure if that version of rebirth is flagged just for guardian spec

#

and the tooltip sucks

formal marsh
exotic perch
#

i remember being pissed having to rez on fyrakk cause it took 3 gcds

lucid olive
#

it could only be situationally useful for helping you write specific logic

exotic perch
#

you can in fact use your brain to do things

formal marsh
lucid olive
#

you can probably start feeding the machine a bunch of APL and see what it cooks up

#

but without basic understand of what specific rotation you are trying to accomplish it would surely just be doing weird stuff

exotic perch
#

im pretty sure the first thing it would do is ignore eclipse or think it sucks

lucid olive
#

need to feed it the current version of SimC with the class module and conintously update it as the modules get updated

prime hill
#

Thanks for ur answer, i just add something to change me in moonkin form if i'm in bear form 🙂 But ive no idead before today it doesn't auto shift me

Fun is subjective, not always the lowest dps depends on how you play and who you play with

wonder what caused it

ya the dryad buff expires at the right time, 10s later

#

something prevented the favor buff from applying

lofty depot

it be casting

#

can it die

its under all of that

since pools stun and random teleport you

maybe there is a fcked interraction

ya that dryad doesn't take damage or get stunned in hte log
