That’s kinda sad, mythic gally being harder than a 16 shows it’s a minigame

I put people that like raiding in the same category of people who like rated battlegrounds

the worst

hollow plover

flatearther take. Theres a difference between challenging content and restrictive content. Lets be real, most guilds just dont manage to establish a roster which survives a couple of leavers.

delicate perch

Skill issue

vital hound
#

yea you're so right

#

doing the same dungeon 1000 times

lucid olive
#

no

vital hound
#

but adding 12% to make your score go up

#

is such sick content

delicate perch
vital hound
#

literally the entire challenge around m+

#

is interrupts

delicate perch
#

Because a death is very punishing?

lucid olive
#

cause if not then casts go through

delicate perch
#

And a missed kick could cause that?

Do not play the furry spec

#

People trash talking m+ as if raiding isn’t just getting 20 idiots together to hit a target dummy for hours every week 🤣

#

Same number of target dummies as there are dungeons

lucid olive

you can simplify m+ like that as well

It is they both suck

No shot. Realistically its a m+ nerf to slightly improve raid performance.

Youre probably one of the reasons why blizz shouldve called the bluff on that wowhead post closing down the chicken nest. Nobody was bragging about nothing, I was just talking to somebody else about what to expect from those boomie nerfs. You stepped in by jumping at me with nothing to add except some weird insults. Just calm down dude.

remove starfall, bring back hurricane PogU

Ditch eclipses for midnight 🙏

I think the starfall nerfs, inability to AOE, and getting 100-0ed

When is alpha? Couple weeks?

i went afk during an intermission on forge

lofty depot

good news, ur thoughts on it are late and if we dont get a rework its cuz u didnt speak up sooner

sudden pawn

wowhead writers smh

#

this is why iget all my info from mmo champ guides

lofty depot
#

always late or always wrong

#

cant make this shit up

exotic perch
#

needs eclipse entirely reworked

sudden pawn
#

they should give eclipse to dev evoker

#

so they can remove it for us

#

like how they took stellar driftr

#

with hover

lucid olive
#

I think the problem starts with the Mastery, not Eclipse

#

Eclipse does not make it any better though

exotic perch
#

its just a maintenance buff right now that is so not fun to play

#

but ye mastery does suck

#

love needing both dots to target swap

willow tide
#

With that nerf, did they end the classes or will they play with the other talents?

I think if you want a maintenance buff like current Eclipse you basically need a "cast while moving" ability

lofty depot
#

if u want a maintenance buff like eclipse bring back old rattle

#

it does however become vastly easier without eclipse

lofty depot
#

but nighthold was my goat

snow elm
#

Why can’t they have separate nerfs and buffs for dungeon enjoyers and raid enjoyers. It obviously exists for pvp. Is the technology not danced enough??

dire lake
#

So the buffs are any good even? Its placebo for raid?

lofty depot
#

ec got a smaller buff than keeper

snow elm
#

No like Changes that only exist in that instance like arenas

Well in my small brain there is the split of EC is for M+ and KoTG is Raid

Instead of 15% below everyone else on forgeweaver ill be 10.3% behind everyone else gigaChad

pallid solar

they buff/nerf mostly based on raid performance, but they are not even able to sponsor the RWF

lofty depot
craggy sonnet
normal pilot
#

well cap doesn't matter, the buffed surge will just hit 4.7% harder

#

you always hit the cap anyways

urban crescent
#

I was wondering how 5% aura translates to a 4.7% buff

#

Where do we lose .3%

craggy sonnet
normal pilot
#

i guess technically if you were really bad player and somehow didn't hit the cap then it'd be easier to now

craggy sonnet
#

since its base surge + cap

#

so if aura mod is applied to base surge then thats bad

urban crescent
normal pilot
#

it's not even base surge

#

cap basically adds to the SP

what is the "dungeon route" referring to in the pin?

lofty depot

mdt sim

normal pilot

it's a way to sim for m+, you can find info in faq in compedium

lofty depot

thats why theres a "~"

#

because that shits cooked

rare shoal
#

Heard, so guesstimated 2% in M+

#

Gain is gain

urban crescent
#

It's not a nerf which is good at least

rare shoal
#

Ye

normal pilot
#

could be in some situations who knows

urban crescent
#

I wish they would have the balls to nuke our aoe so we can do damage in raid

rare shoal
#

Im a bit sadge about the nerfs to laser cuz im a big fan of laser

azure sand
#

Who won more? Moonkins or bm huntards?

lofty depot
#

bm

urban crescent
#

Does ec still gain ~2% in st with this change

azure sand
#

nooo

craggy sonnet
urban crescent
# lofty depot bm

Why did bm win more? Weren't the main buffs to the hero tree they dont play

rare shoal
#

Simming is for chumps, I just go based off the experts info and assume its right pepe_chad

lofty depot
#

cuz they were already ahead

craggy sonnet
#

probably a bit more in ST considering the boundless moonlight thing is proportionally larger impact in aoe?

urban crescent
#

Ah ok

#

Not that you'd ever run ec in st but was just curious

craggy sonnet
#

and they did not get compensation nerfs for their other hero tree

urban crescent
craggy sonnet

but again, you can just sim your guy

#

it just depends

leaden birch
#

On comp ye

#

If you ever wanna feel useless just run with a good devoker in a low key garf

upper anvil
#

but it just depends on what you plan to do, for the vast majority of folks, theyre not pushing 18+ where the damage matters, most just do 10s for vaults or 12s

leaden birch
#

Shits dead while I'm still dotting

#

How's dwilkz doing this season

#

He's prob still boomy

lofty depot
#

i got bad news for u

upper anvil
#

majority top boomies went feral or other specs lmao

leaden birch
#

Damn he switched eh

lofty depot
#

he was already playing shadow in raid

#

gearing boomy incase

#

he boosted a hunter

outer oasis
#

krono plays feral

#

Yargi plays hunter

leaden birch
#

Looks like dwilkz running boomy in keys

#

I wonder when he'll give in

outer oasis
#

Maybe when they try 20 hoa later

upper anvil
#

as long as he has fun

lofty depot
outer oasis
#

That’s another problem, we can’t do decent damage at major target

iron chasm
#

He got title in vault

warm current
#

this is starting to feel like SL season 3 when all the boomies switched to destro lock 😛

vernal marsh
#

Trying to help a guildie out and I haven't played Balance in forever, on a 4 minute fight how many times should uh Force of Nature have been cast?

lofty depot
#

uhh

vernal marsh
#

Or like, roughly

turbid crypt
#

too much math

vernal marsh
#

Does 6 sound roughly right?

lofty depot
#

generally out side of cds u send on cd

hexed lion
#

5

lofty depot
#

but u dont want to send at the end of eclipse

hexed lion
#

not enough time to get 6

lofty depot
#

fracitlly is 5m and i got 8

#

so -1/2

vernal marsh
#

Welp not the easy problem then

lofty depot
#

well that and u want to use with cds

#

so theres some leeway with like using on cd but with your bigger cds

turbid crypt
#

might i suggest looking at Lorgs to see what other boomies are doing that they are not doing?

hexed lion
vernal marsh
#

Hmm comparing to a boomie in here, wayyyyy less starsurges

#

34 vs 73

craggy sonnet
#

how about you just ask em to link a log?

craggy sonnet
#

you tell me

#

ok, considering them not even having set yet etc

vernal marsh
#

By that I mean does the link go to what I want it to, I'm new to logs myself, first time raiding in years

craggy sonnet
#

i would just say, take a look at the very basics

#

can prolly look at something like this

vernal marsh
#

Yeah I've linked them the dreamgrove

gray bison
craggy sonnet
#

they are quite literally just pressing buttons

lofty depot
#

cds together

#

granted, araz is very cringe

#

but basically never dot them

craggy sonnet
#

yes .. araz got to be the worst fight to get a hold of the basics

vernal marsh
#

What'd be like, the best, I just picked Araz at random

gray bison
lofty depot
#

well fracitlly

#

yea idk, they seem to like to press trees

#

and not ca or convoke

#

like kinda crazy

gray bison
#

so you don’t have to think about when to dot ads, picking between solar/lunar (wrath/starfire), and can think about your dmg cd windows

lofty depot
#

very basic as well

#

as keeper ur not pressing starfire ever unless u need to get into solar

#

like idk why were casting starfire here

#

also spam dotting, assumed for movement

#

never casts wildcharge

#

feel like first time on boomkin and went into raid instantly

craggy sonnet
#

probably because we messed up and entered lunar

vernal marsh
#

Not impossible I think it's their only 80

craggy sonnet
#

and then thought its appropriate to press starfire

vernal marsh
#

I'll make sure they give the dreamgrove guide a good read over

lofty depot
#

or one was at least

vernal marsh
#

Cause yeah it sounds like based off everything y'all have said they just don't know how to play the class

lofty depot
#

well they dont understand the fundamentals of it

vernal marsh
#

Also gunna drag them kicking and screaming through delves for gear lol

sinful surge
#

Live left vs ptr right

#

ty blizzard for the buff/nerf

vernal marsh
craggy sonnet
#
  • most important thing is to ABC (always be casting)
  • in raid, always enter solar eclipse and only cast starfire to enter said eclipse or if there are adds during celestial alignment (CA).
  • never use CA without trees, never use convoke without CA.
  • try to not overcap AP and try to save up AP to be able to build up Starlord when it runs out or to move with a Starsurge.
  • always keep moonfire and sunfire on the target, do not needlessly refresh them before pandemic.
lofty depot
#

thoughts

sinful surge
#

mmm

#

ill resim th

#

ty*

lofty depot
#

blizzard says ur welcome

#

kinda crazy knowing to use mdt going through all of that, and having old version

sinful surge
#

the guide is confusing

#

it didn't even say how to use mdt version

#

i had to ask here

#

just says "use mdt sim"

craggy sonnet
#

huge

#

we are big swol

sinful surge
#

0.1m increase

minor swift
vital hound
tawdry cedar
#

The purpose of this buff was to increase in raid and keep m+ the same anyway

vital hound
craggy sonnet
#

nah, it was clearly intended to also buff m+

#

just not by 5%

craggy sonnet
minor swift
#

So buffs are increased surge and decreased starfall in 2pc

lofty depot
#

starfire*

#

and also buffs starfall

sinful surge
#

simming raid now

tawdry cedar
#

buffs increased everything, decreased starfire 2pc buff

sinful surge
#

who cares about 2pc tho cuz next week we get garuneteed 4pc .w.

lofty depot
#

do u not have 4p?

sinful surge
#

i got 4pc, but im saying that next week we have 4 cat charges no?

lofty depot
#

so ur gonna sim something that is like crazy diff from the benchmark

#

well i mean... thats not why i was concerned

sinful surge
#

so nobody should ever be without 4pc if actively playing

lofty depot
#

idk why were bring up having it idk

#

the nerf to 2p is the most relevant part of the nerfs

#

cuz starfire is like 25-30% of ur damage

sinful surge
#

i probably just don't know the significance

lofty depot
#

ok so say funny things

vital hound
#

also

#

what was the moon nerf

warm valley
#

Have they nerfed the starfire damage from set bonus by 5% every single tuning pass?

vital hound
#

that feels insane

craggy sonnet
#

you just did a sim showing you starfire at 30%

tawdry cedar
#

Id have to double check

vital hound
#

there were two

craggy sonnet
vital hound
#

they nerfed set

#

o

#

right

lofty depot
#

its probably that

vital hound
#

so they cant just tune one thing

lofty depot
#

which is crazy they nerfed it

vital hound
#

2025 knobs

lofty depot
#

maybe they think moons would be played ifr they didnt?

#

shrug

#

seems really dumb

vital hound
#

feels like

#

the other thing

#

cuase moons are dog water

tawdry cedar
#

Definitely some questionable buffs/nerfs. I think we will just take what we can get

sinful surge
#

is +0.2m dps a substantial buff?

vernal marsh
#

Thank you so much

tawdry cedar
#

Considering the purpose of the buffs was to help in raid, substantial enough

sinful surge
#

gotcha

tawdry cedar
#

Havent checked myself, but if you sim the difference for raid I assume you would see a bigger difference

minor swift
#

Ye the moon nerfs didn’t even register, don’t play it

jaunty blaze
#

This game is fucking ass ngl

lofty depot
#

maybe u just do no dam

#

but 4.7 is correct inc

sinful surge
lofty depot
#

?

#

shows the inc

#

to confirm ur buff

sinful surge
#

i just figured out inc=increase

#

like the abbreviation meant nothing to me

lofty depot
#

yea

sinful surge
#

so I net a 1% dmg buff from the changes

#

effectively

craggy sonnet
#

4.7%

sinful surge
#

oh

#

i have no idea how to read decimals as percerts tbh

craggy sonnet
#

Seems like it 🙂

jaunty blaze
#

Your current dmg times 1,047

lofty depot
#

smh

jaunty blaze
#

Aura buff haha

#

Idk what i expected

lofty depot
#

thats big

craggy sonnet
#

Wait until you get big apl gains on top

#

For funny number look bigger

lofty depot
#

i saw the push

#

was that urs i forget

#

also theyre implimented tho

#

unless thats just pushing the old to the new

#

maybe just funny update for ptr apl to current

craggy sonnet
#

No idea what that is

#

Yea it's probably because ptr apl was behind current

digital berry
#

Wait did we figure out any new tech for kotg rotation to change the apl?

lofty depot
#

some funny stuff for short damage amps

#

it might be better opener

#

but idk if theyve decided that yet

craggy sonnet
#

It's better always pretty sure

#

Not pretty sure. I'm sure

lofty depot
#

oh shit

#

clanker said its better for sure for sure

jaunty blaze
#

Surely

craggy sonnet
#

But yea, it's just the condensed double ca with trees before

#

And the rest is just stupid apl nonsense

inland sand
#

Hello. Do you think the buff it’s enough for raid ?

#

Sorry if we had to ask you many times

jaunty blaze
#

Completely whatever ngl

willow thicket
low sigil
#

my sim goes from 5.032M to 5.264M roughly 4.61%

lofty depot
inland sand
#

It's better than nothing

lofty depot
#

was what i did on araz

craggy sonnet
# lofty depot

Yes. But you can do that always when you would double CA

#

This is not araz tech

lofty depot
#

well yea, but i was showing it

frigid rover
#

is raidbots bugged or something i swear forge went from 100k uppie to 200k with no gear change

lofty depot
#

no clue

#

show sim

frigid rover
#

nevermind im dumb..

nova ocean
#

Wats the concensus on the buffs. Moonkin okay in raid now or trash still damage wise

frigid rover
#

had it on 3 targets for some soulhunter testing sim but forgot to turn it back to 1 😄

wicked shuttle
lofty depot
#

100p

wicked shuttle
#

But idk it’s definitely good to be 5% better

jaunty blaze
#

You now compete with green logging warlocks not grey ones

wicked shuttle
#

It’s not going to make you magically good at target swapping or aoeing in raid though

tawdry cedar
#

Even with the 5% the grey locks still got us bro

jaunty blaze
#

Most likely

nova ocean
#

Well ya we only really do mass spread aoe and are made of paper

wicked shuttle
#

We don’t really do mass spread AOE either tbh

#

We do mass stacked AOE

nova ocean
#

We do stix type AOE that doesn't exist this season

wicked shuttle
#

Sustained

indigo barn
# lofty depot

Whats the theory behind this, filling dmg cap for both dryads better then buffed surges in trees?

wicked shuttle
nova ocean
#

Really?

wicked shuttle
#

Yes

jaunty blaze
#

Negative starfall damage

nova ocean
#

Also dunno how they made us suck at soul hunters the fight we usually rock at

lofty depot
#

the cap is 40m ish

wicked shuttle
#

Starfall does 0 damage

#

Genuinely

nova ocean
#

Starfire hits hard or at least by comparison lol

jaunty blaze
#

When things are stacked

#

Are they stacked on stix

wicked shuttle
#

Very few specs have AOE spells that do damage over time

#

Most just do damage when you press it

#

Boom does damage

nova ocean
wicked shuttle
#

Most specs that operate like that have their AOE ability be like 40% of their damage on AOE

jaunty blaze
#

They arent permanently stacked either

wicked shuttle
#

Ours is like 20% and it’s a dot pretty much

nova ocean
#

Hopefully they just like completely rework us for midnight

jaunty blaze
#

Wouldn't bet on that

nova ocean
#

I doubt hero talents getting touched

indigo barn
nova ocean
#

But like unless our apex talents good we only have Garbage to put the 4 points into

#

Other specs have amazing shit they could take

jaunty blaze
#

Need to wait and see but nothing indicates they are putting much work into it yet

wicked shuttle
#

Well your apex talents you should take

wicked shuttle
#

That’s the assumption

nova ocean
#

Alpha probably starts soon

lofty depot
#

and yes

lofty depot
indigo barn
#

Ok ty i get it now

lofty depot
#

like theyre not normal talents they have bigger differences

nova ocean
#

Ya of course they seem to want us to but blizzard has a bad track record

#

Nice to have a back up talent

lofty depot
#

but like if all oour talents are like under 5% except for like 5

nova ocean
#

They might just make it 1.2

#

Lol

lofty depot
#

well i lied

#

theres more than that are under 5

#

our talents suck

#

but nonetheless

nova ocean
#

Still need to make ca feel like a good cd

#

Not feeling good only cause u press 5 other cds

#

That don't line up lol

hard frost
wicked shuttle
#

Tyty

craggy sonnet
#

That makes it better

lofty depot
#

gets more surges inside of boat inside of trees

craggy sonnet
#

And in case of forge, also higher cap due to less decay

jaunty blaze
#

I mean what else would you do during ca

#

Casting some funny wraths

lofty depot
indigo barn
#

Yea whatever the sim says, I just wasnt aware how it works when you press CA before the first dryad despawns on its own

lofty depot
#

hm

misty tundra
#

the ‘buff’ seems very negligible

minor condor
lofty depot
#

but im not timing the trees for 10 seconds later

#

in that sequence of spells its like foe, im using it as a modifier and its a bad global inside that window

minor condor
#

Okay, so generally it’s better to tree before ca. then surges into convoke, into 2nd ca?

sweet belfry
#

Wait for trees cooldown before 2nd ca and repeat?

lofty depot
#

no

tight dagger
#

what do you think about the 5% buff?

lofty depot
#

what answer do u expect

#

its definitely a buff

lofty depot
tight dagger
#

how can you sim it ?

lofty depot
#

read the pin?

tight dagger
#

read the pin

mellow zephyr
#

Better for raid but small nerf for mm+ don’t u think ?

lofty depot
#

doubt it

lofty depot

#

Can’t see it

lofty depot

🤣

tardy hare
#

god daym now everyone knows balance sucks and we wont get invites until reset

lofty depot
#

u aint getting invites after reset either 😛

tardy hare
#

really? 🙁

#

time to sharpen my claws?

lofty depot
#

more like sharpen your arrows

tardy hare
#

im not allowed to shoot arrows

lofty depot
#

i suppose ill see you in dornogal then

tardy hare
#

cya there mate!

lofty depot
#

balance is fine tho, might not be meta comp. will ahve to see what happens when people get all the gear and start actually pushing high keys

crude void
#

is this copium?

lofty depot
#

what part

crude void
#

balance is fine tho

lofty depot
#

it is and will be fine in m+ yes

#

its crazy that ele, arcane, and destro are allowed to exist in their current state

crude void
#

Arcane is the same as last season, good prio but not mid overall alltogether

#

Havoc almost doing the same this season as arcane

#

atleast in M+

lofty depot
#

yea but u only bring one and mage brings better things

#

so u just bing chill mage, fdk + w.e.

crude void
#

Well FDK - Arcane - Havoc is a frequently played dps trio in high keys currently

#

Havoc has consistent damage

nova ocean
#

All I know is my guilds on nexus king so I'm benched and I have no interest to prog that boss anyway with our defensives as is

#

M+ is fine

crude void
#

And this season we have quite some low mobcount dungeons that mostly needs prio damage

lofty depot
#

therse a lot more mage + fdk + w.e. than mage + fdk + dh

#

but ur "high keys" right now arent high keys in 2 months from now

#

so no point in speculating just let the gamers figure it out and parrot what they do

crude void
#

5 out of 18 keys have Havoc considering how spread out the meta is now

#

Tbh there still isn't really meta

lofty depot
#

that do be what i said

#

its wee k4

crude void
#

Apart from Prot + rsham seeming to be getting the most play

charred siren
#

hey ive done something wrong?

lofty depot
#

season lasts another liek 5 months

#

whats the point

#

idk link the sim instead of a picture

charred siren
#

k

crude void
#

Well half of the M+ pushers are afking due to the fact that there will be turbo boost

lofty depot
#

but u likely didnt change what the pin said to change

lofty depot
charred siren
#

k

#

thanks

lofty depot
#

didnt change what the pin said to change

#

hmm

#

are we an m+errrrrrrrrrrr

charred siren
#

maybe xD

lofty depot
#

hmm

charred siren
#

ye now its better, like 200k increase. Thanks

lofty depot
#

why r we wasting guilded

#

smh, i go to sleep

#

nvm

crude void
#

I mean I think turbo boost shouldn't exist in this form

charred siren
#

idk it was start of season, wanted to pump it hard as i can

ember badge
#

So, here’s the breakdown — and tell me if I’m cooked or if this actually looks about right:
KotG: +4.7% single-target
EC: ~+2% overall in dungeon routes

Based on top logs:
Fractalus: With KotG = 5,672,000 → 5,936,584 = +318,583 DPS
Top DPS logs are ~6,714,000. But since that’s basically just MM Hunters, I’d say Balance is looking pretty solid on pure single-target right now.

Demon Hunter boss: With EC = 8,152,592 → 8,315,643 = +163,051 DPS
Top logs have Warlocks sitting at ~10,816,750 DPS.

My conclusion:
On pure single-target, Balance is shaping up to be a really solid spec — easily among the best if you don’t count MM Hunter RNG nonsense kekw. AoE is still kinda weak, but you can’t be the best spec in every fight or situation. So yeah, maybe the buff isn’t massive, but Balance is looking good on pure single-target right now (just not on cleave or AoE).

crude void
#

its just makes the start of the season pointless

crude void
#

so it wasnt the worst for those

#

with the buff it might jump even higher a bit
