#

were often not the best in any fight

#

and the worst or bottom 5 in the majority of them

jaunty blaze
#

any kind of cleave involved exposes the weaknesses of the spec

#

st is fine

crude void
#

our cleave doesnt exists

lofty depot
#

whats more crazy is its not by a little bit

#

5% is nothing in comparison

jaunty blaze
#

aura buff wasnt what we needed

crude void
#

thats why I was giga cringeing last tier when guildes called Rik Reverb a good druid fight coz of 'spread out aoe'

lofty depot
#

the wide margins on all the bosses

#

these arent just subtle little problems

jaunty blaze
#

blizzard looking at these charts

#

yeah 5% should do the trick

crude void
#

The problem is that even 15-20% wouldn't do anything on these fights

jaunty blaze
#

yep

crude void
#

apart from being strong on the pure boss damage

jaunty blaze
#

the spec is inheritly bad designed to deal with modern raidfights

crude void
#

the class would still not be able to deal good add damage

lofty depot
#

the spec loses a lot to do fake damage

warm valley
#

20% would bring our boss damage to an insane level wym?

crude void
#

As I said apart from being very strong only boss damage

#

it wouldn't do anything with our non existant cleave

loud kettle
#

I didnt need to see feral down there twice

#

despair

warm valley
#

Well with a lack of cleave we are what, 25% behind? So 20% would make our boss damage unbeatable

lofty depot
#

thought feral was good this tier

#

tragic thoughts

jaunty blaze
#

feral and boomies yet again fighting over who is more dogshit dps spec

crude void
#

Feral is basically suffering from the same as balance being very lackluster on multi taraget fight

loud kettle
#

It is good, the raid just doesn't match the 2 things we can do really well

jaunty blaze
#

you hate to see it

sudden flame
#

Turns out specs that are bad at burst aoe perform worst

# lofty depot and the worst or bottom 5 in the majority of them

I totally agree with you that overall, across the whole raid, we’re one of the weaker specs. But if you look strictly at pure single-target output, we’re actually doing really well.

Of course, I’d also love for us to be much stronger at cleave or AoE — don’t get me wrong. The real issue, in my opinion, is that we’re so weak in cleave and AoE when so many raid bosses actually rely on those damage profiles. On those fights, we just can’t keep up.

crude void
#

its just stronger than boomie in pure ST

lofty depot
loud kettle
#

raid design in general doesnt lend to what druid dps can do

#

Its been a problem since shadowlands at least

lofty depot
#

and if ur taking a spec because it does really good pure st, it better do some insane pure st

#

and were not even top 5 in that

warm valley
#

One day

jaunty blaze
#

never

#

let go

lofty depot
#

actually

#

i might take that back

#

we might beeeeeeeee a top 10 st spec now

warm valley
#

One day theyll slip up so hard that they nerf us underground for two expansions just so it never happens again

sweet belfry
#

A whole class rework is needed for that i dont believe there will be any for upcoming 3 expacs lol

jaunty blaze
#

who knows

#

unlikely

lofty depot
warm valley
lofty depot
#

so either u havent paid attention (like most), or ur delulu cuz m+er

warm valley
#

Nah, I've played past two expansions, believe me I know

lofty depot
#

ayo were goated

crude void
#

well blizzard introducing split tier sets with hero talents raised the opportunity to make druid at least "okay or mid" in both scenarios because they could have really made KoTG into a good single target 'which kindof they did with the tierset it's just underetuned' and EC could have been more cleave or good aoe focusd, but EC's set interacts 0 with anything so we kindof got that EC for Aoe KoTG for single with the different sets but they resulted in a very lackluster output

lofty depot
#

thank god the raid is pure st

#

they undertuned the tierset cuz the damage profile

#

such damage profile is either giga busted op or dawgshit

#

and theres no inbetween

jaunty blaze
#

just crazy to me the didnt even remotely nerf the top specs

lofty depot
#

that is the crazy part

warm valley
#

Destro taking over fr

crude void
#

What would they have nerfed?

lofty depot
#

ele, destro, and arcane

#

hello

jaunty blaze
#

the could literally do the same amount as overall nerf

#

or maybe 3%

crude void
#

Destro is not the best on pure ST, their single biggest outliar fight is soul hunters

jaunty blaze
#

and they would still blast

lofty depot
#

problem might be they cant nerf them yet cuz not enough guilds have killed said boss

lofty depot
warm valley
#

They love 3% aura nerfs and 5% aura buffs, a very rare 8% aura buff for the truly destitute

lofty depot
#

just giga trolling for fun

jaunty blaze
#

a very rare back to back 8% aura

#

to top of with another 5%

#

and yet the spec still sucks

#

weird innit

crude void
#

As I said Soul Hunter is the outlier fight for destro they are not even close being this ahead of everyone in any other fight

warm valley
#

Let's nerf the EC set again, 50% wasn't enough

crude void
#

this fight alone pushes their average quite high

crude void
#

The are basically the same as Fury on this fight

#

should they nerf fury?

lofty depot
#

also mm

#

forgot about htat

crude void
#

MM is giga RNG

lofty depot
#

the gamba on mm is crazy

#

figured they would flaten it

warm valley
#

When a 12% parse can beat a literal #1 parse on any other spec there is a problem.

lofty depot
#

this is pretty disgusting

jaunty blaze
#

they funny thing is its a 3 target fight and they mostly hit only 2 targets

crude void
#

Desto havoc goes ungabunga

noble spindle
lofty depot
#

yea ill be above the arcane mage now

#

type shit

crude void
#

5% but let's still nerf the EC coz its already mid

lofty depot
#

well its not mid

crude void
#

it is mid

lofty depot
#

ec is one of the probably top 5 or 6 dps specs

lofty depot
#

actually going ot sleep

crude void
#

no

#

statistics from the top 2000 keys done

#

its in the bottom 3rd

#

on pure DPS

#

so its literal mid

lone root
crude void
warm valley
#

Only thing mid about EC is the tierset, can get zero procs recieve no bonus damage and still blast PES4_Cool

crude void
#

EC is nowhere near the strength of s2 EC

#

DH not being played as a tank even reduces importance of beam

#

If Prot + rsham wiill be the meta duo for M+ I highly doubt that balance will see any play

pearl linden
#

Does the changes make m+ net neutral or is it a minor nerf

crude void
#

minor buff

jaunty blaze
#

minor buff

pearl linden
#

O really

#

Nice

late sapphire
#

what is minor moon on elunes chosen dmg breakdown

warm valley
#

Pin moment

#

Oh wait you talking about that specifically aPES3_GeKek

pearl linden
#

Bro mobile discord is so shit

#

I can’t see when a new pin in out

jaunty blaze
#

about 2% buff for ec in m+

crude void
#

they intentionally kept EC out of being really good on M+ with this change

#

problem is that now EC's whole tierset is even bigger of a joke

#

no matter they aura buffed it 5%

jaunty blaze
#

truuuu

misty patrol
#

Does it matter though

#

It is still a damage increase for EC

#

not like it was bad to begin with

warm valley
#

M+ damage is a looot closer across the board than raid damage, that Lil 2% may not seem like a lot but it'd be enough to shoot balance all the way from 18th to 7th in M+

crude void
sour gale
#

Ec still pref in m+ after September 9th?

crude void
#

I would rather do the same damage with some fun effects

jaunty blaze
#

yes

sour gale
#

Ty

misty patrol
clever ibex
#

I guess we go up a bit on ST in m+ as well after the buff

#

with EC

warm valley
#

Id rather the damage bonus be smaller but i get max stacks every time, rng is lame

jaunty blaze
#

i wouldnt expect it to boost your st numbers considerably

clever ibex
#

not considerably

#

but at least closer

crude void
#

You starfire proccing starsurges and you still the worst ST on M+

#

imagine

clever ibex
#

Assa says hi on ST

wild blaze
#

Is keeper somewhat competative in m+ now?

crude void
#

Ecodome first boss is where the tanks even beat me

jaunty blaze
#

not more than before

#

so no

delicate perch
late sapphire
#

would much rather a EC tier set duration buff to 40 sec and a proc chance increase than a 2% buff tbh

jaunty blaze
#

well

#

but we didnt get that

#

and apparently they dont want to give us that

#

or are even aware of it

late sapphire
#

losing stacks between every pull is fun

jaunty blaze
#

not even getting a single stack in between foe uses is fun too

late sapphire
#

lol

jaunty blaze
#

can happen

late sapphire
#

happens all the time

crude void
#

EC tierset is singlehandedly the worst fucking set design ever

delicate perch
#

Wrong

crude void
#

Will you elaborate on that or you just typed wrong and went for bits and cookies

late sapphire
#

if it wasnt on a dot class it would be fine but with having to dot and setup for next pack yeah its terrible. needs longer timer

delicate perch
#

We had a tier set that increased sunfire range and dot damage in a raid with next to no aoe OMEGAKEKW

crude void
#

strength wise it sounds worse but design and gameplay wise I would still bring this season's on pair with that

#

I am not actually hating on the dps it gives but acting like it doesn't exist

#

is very boring

delicate perch
#

You’re actively playing probably the least interactive spec in current wow

warm meteor
#

So with the next changes does it mean that on aoe pulls dmg will be buffed a bit or mostly for st (only talking about m+)

on 1st boss in eco dome, do you even cast starfall? or just single target the boss the whole time? adds get deleted in 0.3 seconds

delicate perch
#

Grats you answered your own question

lime canyon
#

2% buff rofl. still a dead spec

#

and raid needed like a 10% buff to ST

lone root

#

in reality it's like 3-4 seconds on a 12 that they live

agile nimbus

5% st buff, minor aoe nerf imo?

jaunty blaze
#

check pins

vital shard
#

m+ will be little buff

#

but it will not adress the actual problem we've in the manaforge raid especially in cleave fights

agile nimbus
#

At least we got a little love from blizzard

#

That's something

jaunty blaze
#

if you call that love

limpid grotto
#

a little something is better than nothig

#

it's not like there's not going to be future tuning

#

It's unfortunat that it is not what we'd hope/like but it's a small something

#

The alternative is being left in the same situation/nerfed, and neither of those are satisfactory or welcomed, so be glad a buff hit even if not the most optimal

jaunty blaze
#

its literally nothing

#

and changes nothing

#

The goal should be to make the spec rewarding enough when playing good on it. That means it has to be competitive. That's right now not the case if the other people play on the same level.

#

It is actually the fact, that if you have to switch targets you do damage like a tank lol 😄

storm frigate
#

well it helped me hit 3k so now i can at least get invites on alts while playing something better. is that the goal?

in M+, how important is it to ensure that all mobs in a pack have moonfire? not sure weighing casting that 5 or 6 times vs. just getting into builders/spenders

mild badger

#

Any Reason why Void-Touched Fragment would be as bad as the sims suggest?

round field

Uh

#

Thats just how it is?

#

What reason would you like

restive cosmos
round field
#

depends how long stuff lives

#

theres no universal answer

mild badger
#

^this is true higher keys I'd say moonfire everything but on lower keys swap over once everything stacked. You should be able to get most before the tank finishes grabbing everything

restive cosmos
#

yeah, and I’m only just venturing into higher keys, so I was wondering what others’ perspective was. pulls like Gambit first pull, Ara’kara first pull, etc. on 12+

#

if I dot everything, the pack is half dead and I’m doing tank damage. if I do aoe rotation primarily, I start wondering if I’m missing out

plucky siren
#

first pull in gambit is special i'd say, personally just done up to 15 but i dont moonfire small murluks, i find the prio targets and moonfire them whilst the tank gathers, usually end of with around 8-10 moonfire active vs 25-30 sunfire

I love raiding, and my raid leader was asking me what i was about to play, my first idea was to play boomkin but it seems i was trolled when some people said me it was doing tons of dmg on raid, probably toping on dps

Just do dungeonroute sim

void abyss
#

for m+ they are ok for raid they are bad

#

the buff will maybe make boomy be middle of the pack for raid, its a 4,7% dmg increase but boomies were at the bottom

magic hound
#

So....

#

How is feral??

old prairie
jaunty blaze
#

You will still be last on everything that isnt pure single target

void abyss
#

but I mean, if you remove soulbinder, boomy is a lot less trash

jaunty blaze
#

True and all the other encounters except for plexus sentinel loomithar and fractillus

#

Heard about this 3 target fight where boomie should be good

#

Well we arent really

#

At least better than feral on araz

void abyss
#

its just that locks are ridiculous in soul hunter. and the other fights except soulbiunder boomies are bad but not as bad, and this 4,7% increase can help it be better on the mix. For for wont be top

scarlet tapir

i don't understand, do i still follow the opener if i have natures balance? because id overcap on AP if i only used 2 starsurges, or is this opener for those without natures balacne?

scarlet tapir
#

u lose boat value if u spend too many gcd

#

or something like that

bright ginkgo
#

So do i still follow the opener or should i spend all my ap before convoking?

jaunty blaze
#

Follow the opener

#

Its an exception to the rule

#

You dont care for starlord in opener either

bright ginkgo
#

Okei, i'll try that, thanks

The buff looks kind of ass

Yep

upper surge

Not sure what I expected tbh

bright ginkgo

the buff for raids is nice tho, no?

#

might take us from the d tier:)

jaunty blaze
#

Sadly it doesnt help get rid of the problems the spec has

mild badger
#

The problem is they dont know how to balance the aoe the spec can do with making it viable for single target

bright ginkgo
#

can't they just increase starsurge dmg?

jaunty blaze
#

They can but thats not we need

bright ginkgo

And what do we need..?

there is no answering that

#

you said you simmed it already there isnt much to say otherwise

prime hill
#

Y, i understand 😄 Np, it's just a feeling, because low mastery is not in my conception of balance :p

jaunty blaze
#

i mean if you feel that way you can try getting more mastery and see if that helps but noone will recommend you doing that

#

noone can give you real advice based on feelings and guessing

prime hill
#

Ok! thks for ur answer!

jaunty blaze
#

If you want you can link the sim and maybe there is something you missed

bronze tartan
#

Question, on loomithar mythic I assume we also swap to the two adds? Do we use starfall, or only focus on one of them, or dot both up, skip maybe during the 2min burst?

jaunty blaze
#

depends how fast your raid kills them

vital hound
#

not to doom and gloom

#

but it really doesnt matter

jaunty blaze
#

starfall isnt really worth it

vital hound
#

we do fuck all unless you use a ca set

#

on them

jaunty blaze
#

better to dot the ranged one and single target it

#

but generally we arent doing well on them

bronze tartan
#

Yeah, but during pull I ignore the adds anyway, and I usually go for the far add and just focus that one outside of the CA burst

vital hound
#

yea

#

you're playing it right

bronze tartan
#

I'm the absolute lowest on them in the raid despite being relatively high DPS in our group on the boss 🔥

jaunty blaze
#

i would say if you want more mastery try to get the ring from halls

#

ah i simmed in ptr mode

#

shouldnt be much of a difference on live

#

in terms of increase

vital hound
#

thats not you

#

we're just beans

jaunty blaze
#

im simming again

jaunty blaze
#

could do that too

prime hill
jaunty blaze
#

just saying its the most obtainable item if you want more mastery

vital hound
jaunty blaze
#

i mean he asks for m+ no

#

so its fine

#

but i would say the takeaway is change weapon enchat to stonebound artistry

#

everything else is minor

prime hill
#

Ok, thanks for ur time! 🙂

jaunty blaze
#

but yeah if you raid aswell just leave the bracers as they are and maybe change your offhand to crit mastery aswell

Not sure if you are doing that?

jaunty blaze
#

this is from loomithar

last folio
jaunty blaze
steep edge
#

Cd at end of tree hmm

jaunty blaze
#

this is what you want to do

#

precast wrath wrath starfire starting at 4 seconds of the pulltimer

#

then apply moonfire sunfire

#

press CA and send 2 surges

#

then trees into convoke right after

#

and then when your dryad fades you used the second charge of ca and immediately send 2 buffed surges

steep edge
#

For m+ and aoe that is ofc

jaunty blaze
#

going further into the fight you keep on sending naked convokes

#

convoke is basically the cd all your other cds are anchored around

#

you never want to send it naked

steep edge
#

Anyway, you should probably reread guide and practise if the screenshot from mike are your spellcasts

last folio
jaunty blaze
#

you keep doing that pretty much all fight long

last folio
#

i'll try to go through the guide again and understand it better.

#

so i should be using convoke with incarn?

golden belfry
jaunty blaze
#

always yes

steep edge
#

A big increase will already be to use your cds together

jaunty blaze
#

you always want to align convoke with incarn and trees

golden belfry
#

But sounds like youre asking for both raid and m+ which are completely different

drifting nova
#

are they?

#

are they really?

last folio
#

i was asking ab m+ but i can't see any m+ logs

golden belfry
#

No but to someone convoking outside of trees/ca I'd assume nothing is moonfired while playing ec

#

Looks like you have 4 keys total logged as balance

jaunty blaze
#

all i can see is this from first pull ara kara

#

given you moonfired mobs before

#

but the same applies

#

you would press ca first

#

press 2 starfalls then trees then convoke

#

and you didnt even use your buffed starsurges

last folio
#

i use starsurge even in aoe situations?

jaunty blaze
#

if you decide to play keeper in m+ you do

#

the buffed starsurges also do splash damage

#

going further into the ara kara log you basically devolve into the same pattern

#

you keep using cds whenever they come up instead of lining them

golden belfry
#

Doing 7s and 3s too, not going to do much there since shit is just dead

jaunty blaze
#

yep

golden belfry
#

M+ just play ec, moonfire everything on gather, sunfire when grouped, fury of elune > ca > starfall for starlord stacks/spend ap to not overcap > starfire

#

Replace starfall with surge in st

#

Ripping CDs as they come off cd and not lined up usually indicates a rotation helper.

using the highlights that the client has

#

the one button rotation?

the what now

last folio
#

the one that highlights the spells

#

i use it mostly to keep track of dots, if i tag a target and doesn't have a dot it prios the dot before any spell

jaunty blaze

not even sure i know what you are talking of

#

im not aware any such feature exists

#

Game has built in mini hekili you can toggle

jaunty blaze

Just get a plater that shows your moonfire/sunfire on mobs

Still. You chose the guy playing with liquid and ID players as opposed to the guy who pugs to 3700 every season

do we just instantly pop 2nd incarn when dryad fades ?

Dryad = 10s trees = 10s if you CA>trees trees will fade before you get both starsurges off

I don't fully remember, but I think the ones that have damage procs on them scale with ilvl, and the ones that have stat procs don't?

i thought they all dont scale tbh

oh idk prolly w/e the dev ate that morning

lucid olive

they just make shit up as they go along

hmm actualy the one time where south america wins, you can still get a 5500x3d there

ya but he's on am4, 9800x3d would be a much much worse value than grabbing a 5700x3d somehow

But even with a potato of a computer, I manage to have an average of like 93% parse for heroic mana forge. So it’s a small victory for me. Although I know heroic parses are seen as insignificant.

but outside of that, u press surge to not cap

#
  1. fundamentally u want to use your cds together, so this tree press when CA is 10 seconds away is wrong
  2. u dont use CA here because you want to again use cds together, and CA + convoke is your big damage. So you hold this CA til 2 minutes (u dont lose value on this because we have whirling stars which has charges)

Ye its fine not being meta. In keys we do well specially with bigger pulls. The higher the key the better our dmg profile is. I Just wanted us to be more usefull in more raid content. Even tho u can bring a boomy. But u cant complain if ur benched for another class with similar skill lvl

#

And M+ i find boomy really liniar and boring atm theres close to 0 depth in ur rotation. Yet me also play ele i sometimes find it annoying u dont proc for 2 pulls and ur tank dmg

dreamy locust
#

Blizz doesnt seem to care about having fun rotations anymore, just bare minimum to keep the money-wheel goin

#

Pulsar was removed because it was too constraining and "hard for them to balance"

#

Yet boomy has been trash in raid since removal

#

and gotten nothing to help

lofty depot
#

theres a bunch of boomies in top 100 guilds playing nexus and dimmy

night gulch
#

boomy wasn't particularly great when pulsar was in to be fair, but I agree. The oversimplification feels even worse, like the spec is somewhat easy to navigate but the numbers are just ass

dreamy locust
#

If you going to remove something with an excuse of, it'll make it easier for us to balance your spec, then you have to buff the spec by 15% every tier

for 6-7 tiers straight

obviously something went off the rails

why would boomie be better for killing masses

if u die at 1m30 every time

because feral is the most worthless add killing spec in the game

That's really helpful, thanks - going to practice now just recognising when I have the different buffs up

what embellishment for wrist?

cedar pumice

is astronomical impact working correctly for starfall in Elune? i specced it and got a 24% crit while my stats are 21% crit + astronomical impact. or I do not understand something again.

sick terrace

it gives critical strike DAMAGE and not crit chance

cedar pumice
#

ok, thanks for helping a noob

minor swift
#

Is the basic aim to unload AP when you have Dryad's Favour or BOAT?

#

Unless you have Dream Burst, which seems to buff Wrath?

wicked shuttle
#

uhhh generally speaking it's like 0 stacks of starlord > boat

#

Dryad's favor is cooldown based

#

you have to dump inside stacking cooldowns

bitter panther
#

On the second use of CA when it fades do you wait for 2nd trees or just blow it asap

minor swift
#

ok cool, working to keep the Starlord up, thanks

craggy sonnet

Kinda wish they'd have buffed wrath and surge a bit more separately

glacial spindle

I can’t tell if my question was bad or your trolling me. So I’ll rephrase: my second dryads favor after 2nd CA fades. In the video linked above it shows him just double surging. I’ve been waiting 8 ish seconds to line it up with another trees. Just curious what’s the better method

Just sending at the end of the ca. cause of how ca grants both eclipses

Right for the first dryad I get that. But 2nd your CA would’ve faded no?

u send the surges in ca

did u read at all what i said

#

Does anyone have a rough estimate how much of a dmg increase one could expect in overall M+, switching from KotG to EC? I play KotG in raids of course, but have been on a break from M+ so haven't touched EC since start of expansion. Considering whether it's worth switching and getting familiar with EC, or if the difference is small enough that it really doesn't matter that much. I only do 4 keys/week around the 12-mark (my group will probably cap out at around 14s with more gear), so it's not something I'm super serious about.

lofty depot
leaden kiln
#

does anyone see the pin? I don't

I have. The compendium says both specs are fine, but in the discord everyone says to play EC

So I'm just wondering how much I'm leaving on the table by not spending time learning EC

When you get dryad’s favor, do you send 2 surges or CA and then the 2 surges?

if u have double ca ready, u send ca surges

#

u want the boat + trees

Ok perfect, thanks. If I wasn’t so bad at moonkin I’d have moved on by now haha

#

For some reason in my head, the second Dryad being up cancelled dryad’s favor. Rookie

frigid goblet
#

the pinned graphic is super helpful thank you, question: if you're playing grove's inspiration, does that mean you do the double CA dryad thing as an opener only, and then send single CAs from then on out or should you be looking to pool CAs again?

minor swift
#

If I’m not mistaken, you would do a single CA / trees / convoke and then be able to do the double CA thing at 4 mins again?

frigid goblet
#

thats if youre playing potent enchantments, im guessing bc of the 10sec CD reduction, but what about if youre playing the other hero talent is my question

minor swift
#

Ahhh yeah ok nvm me

lofty depot

sending surges at the end of eclipse generally bad

#

ca at 130 is bad, u dont press ca without convoke

or ur trinket

also, dotting in ca bad

u didnt double CA in amp

#

very shrimple

Ohhhh yeaaa , make sense now

I haven't had time for much so unlikely to get to new stuff unless high prio bugfix

But I can mark if 11.2 so you don't have to click paat that

lofty depot
#

its fine for what i use it for

lucid olive
lofty depot
#

can show people their poor damage in ca... speaking of which kinda of weird

#

it putting PI in the cd window kinda annoying

glacial spindle
#

So to get further understanding are we mainly sending the second CA after the dryad fades for the BOAT crit chance on the 2 buffed starsurges that it sends out? and everything before that is building up dmg and pooling it for those 2 hits

#

or do i misunderstand?

lofty depot
#

u send it either after dryad fades or with 2ish sec left on trees

#

but its for boat and trees window

#

the pooling of damage happens very easily

#

its like 40m damage needed in ca

#

and ur always sending convoke so it just happens

#

i send a naked ca during collectors of araz and send like 2-3 starfalls and hit cap

#

its not hard

glacial spindle
#

after we have done this rotation do we wait on 2 CA charges if the fight will last long enough and make sure trees/convoke will line up to use CA again x2 if not just send it ?

Hello, I noticed you have a profile picture of a very beautiful (but also intelligent looking!) female, and I am under the presumption that this goddess is you? It is quite astonishing to see a female here in the Druid Discord. I am quite popular around here in this server, so if you require and guidance, please, throw me a mention. I will assist you at any hour, day or night. And, before you are mistaken, I do not seek your hand in a romantic way; although, I am not opposed in the event you are interested in me, as many women often are. I am a man of standard, and I do not bow to just any female that comes my way, unlike my peers... So rest assured that I will not be in the way of your gaming and socializing experience. Consider me a Player 2.. a companion, a partner, and perhaps we can enjoy some video games together some time. I see you play World of Warcraft, and you are a Healer? I myself am a DPS aficionado, so I would be happy to assist you in Dungeons and Raids. Platonically of course, unless you (like many others) change your mind on that. I look forward to our future together (as friends of course.)

lofty depot
#

and then at 4m u send a double

#

depends on fight times aswell

#

so like loomithar u could send a 1ca + convoke at 430ish amp

#

then send double ca + convoke with pot at like 630

when the pull is like 30 shitters
