how you keep uptime?

lofty depot
#

uhh i generally dont have a good answer. Keep asp for movement, prepare for movement, use your movement abilities

#

i sit kinda far from the pool because im starfalling between echo and boss

#

i use wildcharge and get to the location very easy

haughty moon
#

oh i didn't know you can sit in the pool

lofty depot
#

i didnt say u can sit in the pool

haughty moon
#

ohh

#

i misread

lofty depot
#

i sit kinda far from the pool

#

aka the drop point

lean knoll
#

Yooo
On a pull for example lets say:
We hit Trees>CA>SS>SS>Convoke

Do we WAIT for Dryads to expire or do we slam CA insta?

#

And why

lofty depot
#

read the pin

lean knoll
#

But why

#

Is what I am asking

lofty depot
#

because it does more damage

#

u asked how we do it before asking why

#

sim just shows its better, assume its trees buffing more surges in boat windows

lean knoll
#

I dont like this iteration 🙁

lofty depot
#

wjhy

lean knoll
#

Doesn't make sense

lofty depot
#

what part

lean knoll
#

So we ignore the buff from dryads expiring and prio the Boat/Tree

lofty depot
#

it expires when u press the 2nd ca

haughty moon
#

it coincidenes

lofty depot
#

dryad die, new dryad spawns

lean knoll
#

So you hit CA and 1st lot expires = gives buff

lofty depot
#

yes

lean knoll
#

NOW that makes sense

jaunty blaze
#

does it

lean knoll
#

Nah still feels bad

tropic pollen
#

Any thoughts on Potent Enchantments vs Grove's Inspiration? Grove's Inspiration sims marginally higher in st for me, but it looks like most of the top logs are running Potent Enchantments.

jaunty blaze
#

its mostly about cd timings

#

depends on the fight

#

Anyone knows if Gamz are streaming

mighty mica
#

click on their name and find out

lofty depot
#

he's streaming but like who wants to watch feral gameplay

vital hound

#
  1. U need to dot things before pressing CDs
  2. U press trees before convoking because convoke does a lot of damage and trees increases that damage
stark belfry
#

i was main tank at first but ask move to dps as we had to many tanks

#

i will go get 720 staff crafted

lofty depot
#

The adds in heroic die in 3 seconds, u don't need to starfall

stark belfry
#

do not use starfall at all

lofty depot
#

Not til intermission

#

Starfall is an 8s damage window

#

Those mobs aren't living the necessary time to be worth those presses

#

Would suggest taking nature's vigil off ur bar and macroing it to ca

#

U used trees at 140ish, which is actually fine cuz u CD around 215 on this fight

stark belfry
#

keep meaning to make macro have make on invert too

lofty depot
#

Cuz that's when all the adds are up

#

But as a general rule, u need to not press CA or convoke 1. Without each other, but 2 without trees

#

Like this 3m CA here should be held til 4m when the next intermission is

#

U guys end up going close to 5m

#

Seems u got a mechanic

#

But u need to learn to use wild charge

stark belfry
#

completely forgot about that , not even sure Wild Charge is on my bar ,

lofty depot
stark belfry
#

ty for help

lofty depot
#

There's also a lot of gaps in ur casts, assuming ur not comfortable with the class yet

#

Id suggest reading the guide and then practicing it either in lfr or normal

#

Maybe watch some kill videos to see how others play

stark belfry
#

ty for help again

how do you guys handle lining up lily with incarn in m+? like lets say I used 1 stack on bl opening pull in halls, I could use 2nd charge of incarn in pull 2 but dont have trinket back up, would you wait to have it back up? that does mean eventuall tho that lily would need to be held as well to line back up since cooldowns are longer on incarn no?

im probably deepsing on nexus king again, unless they bench me for lorgok

#

do i just send bamkin or play feral on 1st reclear

#

i think they probably not want people to change things lol

vital hound
#

what do you prefer

#

comfort fight, both pretty good

jade flume
#

probably feral since i already played it

#

in the long run definitely bamker

#

but im still not used to it

#

gonna troll my cds and die in p1 because less tanky

agile wraith
#

So I am looking to improve my DPS for M+. I was wondering if my haste is far too low for Elune's Chosen and if I am going to need to try to make an M+ gear set and stat for Haste/Mast. For context I usually run 7-10 and am looking to try to push for 3k rating this season.

normal pilot
#

it's not ideal but it's not like you'l lbe doing 10% less dps. just hang onto/farm some haste jewelry

lofty depot
#

i forgot to swap my neck/rings for afew dungeons and still timed them fine

#

if you want to improve your dps, post a log

agile wraith
#

Absolutely, I am going to start logging, next time I do a run I will post a log cause I assume I definitely have some big improvements I need to make rotationally/uptime wise.

lofty depot
#

read the guide if you havent

#

and then read it again for good measure

silk shard
# agile wraith Absolutely, I am going to start logging, next time I do a run I will post a log ...

one of the biggest things is gonna be remembering to hardcast starfire a lot. even the compendium's M+ kotg build requires just a lot of starfire hardcasting. and a lot of the discussions i've seen here over the last couple of days is that with 4pc EC, you'll want to prioritize starfiring over spenders to some degree because of the proc effects and the resulting damage buff on your next big FoE

digital berry
#

Starfire just does more dmg then starfall

#

It’s a numbers issue

craggy sonnet
#

It's a design issue

digital berry
#

Everything about ec design is horrifying atm, and the tier set is the cherry on top

silk shard
#

yeah, both design and numbers issues have been a plague on this spec for a while now sadge

#

EC design is so regressive to me, like i'm playing wotlk moonkin again, but the number results is undeniable

agile wraith
#

Appreciate it, I will definitely review the guide!

So I didn't realize that Keeper is viable for M+. Can people give me insight into the difference? And what yall prefer

And people in my guild were saying that my starfall damage should be the highest thing in my details, but yeah I find im casting starfire way more oftena dn its always the highest damage.

digital berry
#

Keeper is not viable in m+

#

Or at least

#

It’s dreadful

silk shard
#

well, low keys it's playable but you have to be good with cooldown management and you gotta remember to hardcast starfire a lot on the trash

#

starfall damage would be correct if you are playing keeper but EC is gonna be starfire for sure

digital berry
#

Playable but you’re gonna hate every second of it

silk shard
#

EC is just gonna be a lot easier and numerically superior

agile wraith
#

Gotcha I will definitely stick to EC then.

delicate perch
#

just play feral

#

you're already mentally ill doing m+ might as well double down

agile wraith
#

Lmao, Im too blind for melee. Im scared shitless of dying enough as ranged.

lofty depot
#

starfire is your highest damage by like 5%

delicate perch
#

kinda based guildies tbh, they'd know for sure

agile wraith
#

This is my breakdown from a +11 floodgate I just ran.

lofty depot
#

pretty low % wise

#

but nonetheless yea

silk shard
#

yeah if they're not convinced just tell them it's the 4pc

agile wraith
#

Yeah I need to see if my uptime is struggling due to prioritizing mechanics/not dying/getting pulsar orbs and thats where most of my DPS is going.

lofty depot
#

learning mechanics and getting better at that while not afking the rotation will increase ur damage, yes

willingly playing keeper

disgusting

I think it's more, keys are so fucking easy right now that you could time keys without a hero talent

you could enter a key with pure st raid talents and do fine for 3k

ya if you are reading this and want to try keeper in your keys do NOT think you will get the same results kekwpoint

Bruh, keeper is easy

drifting nova
#

and ec is hard?

delicate perch
#

there are people who fail to cast starfire enough man

#

keeper is like rocket science to them

drifting nova
#

kotg IS the worse of the two specs

obsidian jetty
#

just crazy everytime I scroll through here and read "keeper is unplayable"

delicate perch
#

defs not unplayable, but the cd management just seems more thinking than the average player wants/should want

#

EC so braindead

drifting nova
#

if there was a single proc, ever

#

that wasnt frenzy

#

ec is a vibe

obsidian jetty
#

keeper CD management is double single double single double single double single

#

sometimes you say fuck it and do double double

#

🤷‍♂️

digital berry
#

Keeper is easy but it’s not ec easy

#

Idk why you’d ever tell anyone to play keeper in keys

mental tiger
#

why are ppl running this talent?

#

to not get extra gcd to switch back to moonkin?

what else is there to put points in

that do be what the talent does

And its also more fun than whatever ec is

mental tiger
#

im more about sound quality then comfort

silk shard
#

my experience with kotg after switching to ec and back for 12+ has just been to make sure not to neglect the umbral talents and basically just starfire harder between cds

#

Oh

#

I like the idea of eg

obsidian jetty
#

makes the ramp pretty chill as well. Only need like 50 ap

round field
#

Idk what i even have

obsidian jetty

but I also think it's just good for burst aoe

round field
#

Probably shrooms and something

loud kettle
lofty depot
#

cant wait til they nerf our asp gen

#

then give us pulsar

obsidian jetty
#

shroom is fine, I got tired of it proccing on a mob while tank is pulling, slowing the mob, then ripping threat and dying

round field
obsidian jetty
#

happened 2 keys in a row and I untalented and never looked back

round field
#

Yeah ive had it happen aswell

silk shard
#

i still play manual shrooms for when i don't want to wait for the smolder proc

round field
#

Also ive died to ripping threat

#

A few times too many

#

Manual shrooms 🤮

really wish after s2 that they just perma gave us the jackpot shrooms, that was so comfy to play

weary siren
#

is there going to be a season 4 or we goin straight to midnight?

silk shard
#

i think right now we're looking to go straight to midnight

#

no s4, u get housing instead

weary siren
#

what are your thoughts when midnight gonna release?

lofty depot
#

feb/march

drifting nova
#

legion going to need to do alot of carrying

weary siren
#

i havent set foot in those remix thingys, is it actually fun or does it become a grind for those bronze real fast?

royal zenith
#

rather have housing than S4

#

stinky fated

lofty depot
#

so true

obsidian jetty
#

no idea how legion will go, there was a ptr for it

royal zenith
#

yeah a week is royal

#

tuning afaik was still scuffed, but they should've fixed some

#

if the tuning is ass it will not be fun

weary siren
#

so you create a fresh character for those remix stuff or how does it work?

royal zenith
#

yeah

#

create fresh on that server, do questline, do dungeons, do raids, all that and you get the bronze from that content

#

to buy shit

silk shard
#

are we getting legion legendaries in the remix? i haven't seen ptr data for it all

royal zenith
#

once you're max lvl you can transfer it to live

#

the character

drifting nova
#

it'l never happen but wish it was fresh servers

royal zenith
#

or stay on there for a bit to grind the other mogs

weary siren
#

what other mogs?`you talking about this cool transmog set with that sick cloak? or what transmogs are farmable

#

like mage tower is out of the picture to my knowledge

royal zenith
#

usually they have a ton of sets but I'm not sure which ones exactly

silk shard
#

they got a few remix speicfic ones but there's probably recolors of tier sets from that era

royal zenith
#

the cloak literally the only one that stuck with me

silk shard
#

there's like fel shalamayne for 1h and 2h

do you know how much that doesnt help

like putting every spreadsheet on the same page

#

sure it works

pallid bay
#

but keeper is indeed playable and not necessarily that far behind either

drifting nova
#

so ec is playable in raid..

#

right

dreamy locust
#

EC is by far the easier version, with more dmg

#

So it just makes sense to say that

#

If it takes you more effort to do less dmg, thats pretty ded

merry ibex
#

Probably a long shot. Would anyone care to look at some balance logs i put it into wow analyser too. I've come back recently logs weren't really a thing when I played so trying to figure out why my parses are so dog shit. Any help would be great

#

For raiding

fossil hemlock
merry ibex
lucid olive
merry ibex
#

I watched 1 but clearly it's not working or I watched in blind folded

lucid olive
#

You played Elunes Chosen on Fractillus for some reason, but even then you seemed to just randomly press abilities without much thought behind it

#

Macrod trinket to Convoke and not CA

fossil hemlock
#

Just an Elune's Chosen gamer it looks like

lucid olive
#

Cancelled your Convoke after like 1 second

merry ibex
#

Oh yeah so

lucid olive
#

Pressed Sunfire twice in like 4 seconds

merry ibex
#

Ignoee that

#

Convoke i didn't realise it was a channel and I macro it to a trinket

#

Worked that out half way through the raid

lucid olive
#

Well you asked for tips I can't really ignore the most egregious mistakes, that's why I asked if you had read or seen a guide

merry ibex
#

Haha yeah I figured out my convoked issue but yeah I did notice that

fossil hemlock
#

You're casting a lot of sunfire and moonfire. I had 21 casts of both combined on our last fract heroic, you had 21 casts of moonfire alone, and then 23 sunfires on top

lucid olive
#

Cause I could log review and point out everything but it wouldn't be nearly as helpful to you as just doing some research and hitting a dummy would be

merry ibex
#

So im wasting a lot of globals on my dots

#

I mean any help is good help i might go back and do some homework then

fossil hemlock
#

Like Gamz said, at this point you benefit more from reading a guide

#

Since it looks like you're missing the fundamentals

lucid olive
#

Moonkin is a proactive spec and not reactive, you should be aware of what is going to happen in the fight and have a plan for how to deal with it

#

Eclipse lasts 15 seconds - be aware of what is happening when it ends so you can quickly enter back into Solar

#

This season especially as well the cooldown sequence matters a lot and pressing the buttons in the correct order will be most of your damage

fossil hemlock
#

A brief glance at the replay of fract and I see them standing still and casting sunfire and moonfire a fair amount so it's not really moving globals more than just casting the wrong thing

lucid olive
#

You played Treants on Nexus King which was the correct play but you pressed some stuff in the wrong order

#

And triple casted Starfire a few times which is also not good

merry ibex
#

Yeah I felt super awkward on kotg

quartz kindle
#

What has resulted in the double CA window change? 5% buff makes it easier to reach cap or?

Alright done thanks so much mate, might go watch a guide and give it another crack and come back

lucid olive
# quartz kindle I see

When the tier set was mega nerfed on PTR the people who cared about writing the APL just stopped caring tbh

#

Until Clankz wrote some stuff and saw that this was better

quartz kindle
#

Kinda cringe for it to be an increase to clip more of our cd window

lucid olive
#

CA is not a very powerful CD really

quartz kindle
#

I mean its not but its still a design flaw

lucid olive
#

The entire spec is a design flaw

quartz kindle
#

This is also true

Guys, quick question: Araz's Ritual Forge does not line up well with the 2nd Convoke - would you hold CA/Convoke until Trinket comes up (and thus delay the 2nd double-CA, or just send it on CD and use trinket later in "normal" rotation?

ebon parcel
#

hi want to ask question regarding rotation.
the empowered starsurges from dryads has to be ideally casted inside second Incarn?

dire osprey
bronze torrent
#

around 20 seconds

dire osprey
bronze torrent
#

Actually let me check the exact number

#

15 Seconds from Control the Dream, +3 GCDs

#

so just short of 20 Seconds

#

I mean, we obviously have Control of the Dream, so shouldnt be too much of a loss / make a big difference regarding CDs and kill-time

fossil hemlock
#

Macro Araz to CA and brain off

bronze torrent
#

Well I did, obviously, but then you wont have araz for 2nd convoke-phase

dire osprey
#

yea idk i havent rly payed much attention, mine always seems to be back up in time

fossil hemlock
#

What do you mean?

bronze torrent
#

and only use it way later again when waiting for double CA

fossil hemlock
#

These are mine

quartz kindle
#

If you are pressing trees on cd convoke won’t be up when you get to your 2nd CA window anyway so naturally its delayed regardless

bronze torrent
# fossil hemlock What do you mean?

CA has 1.5 min CD , Araz has 2 min -> they dont sync at all. And due to Control of the Dream Araz does not sync with (normally 2 min) convoke either.

quartz kindle
#

As trees will also be on cd

fossil hemlock
#

Well I guess it is if you're using the talent thing

#

But you have 2 charges

#

So it's not a problem

dire osprey
fossil hemlock
#

You hold your 3rd CA until Araz and Convoke is ready at 2 minutes

carmine vigil
#

i usually just use the one button rotation so i can focus on mechanics

dire osprey
#

smart

pallid bay
#

mehanics doer dwilkz

bronze torrent
fossil hemlock
#

And just strictly speaking, control the dream doesn't affect convoke syncing up with Araz

pallid bay
round field
fossil hemlock
#

yes, it's a 1:45 CD on pull but then you can hold it up to 15 seconds before you lose cooldown time, making it a 2 min CD

quartz kindle
#

Trees at 0 > 30 > 1:15 > 2

#

If ur pressing ca on cd you wont have trees

#

Regardless of whether u have convoke at 1:45

#

so it should naturally delay itself to line up

#

Unless you’re delaying trees by like 15s

#

In which case big bad

pallid bay
#

whats going on here shady

#

you NEVER convoke without CA up

merry ibex
#

alright to easy

#

any help is help i was doing 20 parses before

copper tinsel
#

hey everyone . i have a little question , do you know why in raidbot the dungeon slice is not available for the EC spec ?

maiden pasture
#

dungeonslice is not supported for moonkin

merry ibex
copper tinsel
pallid bay
#

you never surge outside of eclipse

pallid bay
#

if you're overcapped on astral power, don't be

#

this is obvious issue, always be casting, plan for movement etc etc

merry ibex
#

alright to easy

maiden pasture
pallid bay
#

this as well, uptime on your dots should be 99% basically

copper tinsel
#

ok thanks

pallid bay
#

you never let dots fall off

merry ibex
#

allright done

pallid bay
#

🫡

#

idk there's like these minor things you can always improve on but the basics needs to be covered

#

keep dots up
enter eclipse
sync CA convoke
press foe on cd
dont cap on astral power
spend AP inside eclipse
cast correct builder

#

you are def at a disadvantage for parsing playing elunes chosen though

merry ibex
#

yeah ive gathered that kotg is meant to be better. might have to switch

pallid bay
#

just get comfortable with the basics of the spec, then it'll be easier to swap

round oracle
#

kotg is just a bit too much better now and only really have to play the cooldowns right to do viable dmg

analog condor
#

someone can explain people that compare now on retail balance druid with a beast mastery hunter who received huge buffs for m+?

round field
#

Uh

analog condor
#

and how can u inttrrerupt asa balance when they took out ur bash ability, the solar beam is 1 min cd

round field
#

What are u saying

#

You still have bash

jade flume
#

You interrupt every minute

#

All there is to it

round field
#

(you never used it)

round field
analog condor
#

its only on resto

#

on feral and guardian now

No its not

Its in the class tree

If you wanna play it as moonkin all power to you

(theres no reason to do it)

#

for me it appears grrey

round field
#

Have you tried talenting it?

analog condor
#

even though ye i talented

jade flume
#

Beam is also aoe silence

#

So its not like a normal interrupt

round field
#

You cant use it in moonkin form you know that right

jade flume
#

In many cases its a lot better

round field
#

Beam is basically a long stun on casters

sudden flame

nerf beam

round field
#

Shut up cat

analog condor
#

idk where u say it is available fluid form talent doesnt not affect balance bash it still shows grey

sudden flame
#

sorry VerySadCat

analog condor
#

the skull bash not the bash i mean

pallid bay
#

skull bash is for the other specs, we get solar beam

sudden flame
#

ye isnt skullbash replaced by -15 sec solarbeam cd

#

iirc

analog condor
#

tahts what i am saying people in 14 and 15 complain i dont intrerupt, but if tank keeps moving packs from my beam

round field
#

Its a diff talent i think

analog condor
#

tried arakara 15

analog condor
#

brewmaster took smaller packs and resto shaman complained about dmg , when i literally need ramp time

#

tank did 2 packs instead of going until big spider and then bloodlust

#

hey guys. if you guys sim m+ with the mdt sim. wich dungeon do you use? I thought about floodgate cause there is plenty of aoe. Which one would you recommend?

just any of them really

just sim all of them

#

and compare average

#

wheres ur dedication

maiden pasture
#

the place where we take -15s on beam CD

#

is where other druid specs have skull bash

#

oh wait

#

were u thinking he meant mighty bash

round field
#

oh

#

u physically cant take it anymore

#

why does class tree change between specs

#

for that one specific thing

#

never had the urge to talent skull bash as moonkin to be fair

maiden pasture
#

happens for palas aswell

#

with unbound freedom i think

#

rets cant take it but holy and prot can

round field
#

why is the dmg amp at the bottom a choice node then even

fossil hemlock
#

To prevent resto and guardian from picking both

maiden pasture
#

yeah resto can like be

#

catform or moonkin form maxxing

jade flume
maiden pasture
#

only seen restos go moonkin if they dont wanna go melee

jade flume
#

Used to be ret and prot only

#

Now its all 3

maiden pasture
#

oh they gave it

#

W

jade flume
#

Yeah i think in nerubar farm

#

I remember on queen prog we didnt have it from holy pala

fossil hemlock
#

Holy has echoing blessings on the same spot as a choice node

jade flume
#

But on farm u did

analog condor
#

also how u deal with ramp times if u need to moonfire targets as the tank gathers packs slowly, and if he didnt use enough melee attacks or abilities he looses agro on them and mobs turn to you? this before the big bl at start of a dung like floodgate or ara, or priory

lucid olive
#

shadowmeld

analog condor
#

i mean is ur fault he didnt use enough spells for agro keeping or is ur fault u didnt wait, but if u wait u loose time and dps meter goes down

lucid olive
#

or reposition so you kite the mobs through the pack

#

if you rip aggro with a moonfire the only thing you can do is not panic

#

cause most tanks know when theres a mob they dont have aggro on

#

so the best thing you can do is always to make it as easy as possible for the tank to pick the mob back up

analog condor
#

i mean i did flood 14 with a 8/8 mythic dh on liberty 14 , it was just pug , but most tanks suck at keeping agro

#

like seems often they have no clue what to get

lucid olive
#

idk why his raid progress matters in that context but sure

analog condor
#

for some reason they did better i analyze always

lucid olive
#

DH struggles with aggro especially at the beginning of pulls

#

i feel like a lot of people rip aggro and then just watch as the mob walks up and smacks them instead of using some brain power to make it easier for the tank to pick it back up

analog condor
#

but i can 't do a priory for example 13, cuz there aren't enough tanks to route, i need to get resilient 13 and there most tanks are crap

lucid olive
#

most DPS are crap too

#

if you smell farts everywhere you go maybe you should change underwear

analog condor
#

well u cant compare 8/8 mythic with 3/8 players

#

have more experience and time invested

lucid olive
#

its a completely different game mode

delicate perch
#

I've seen hall of fame players act like they shouldn't be in a +2 before

#

and I've seen title players act they shouldn't be able to queue lfr

lucid olive
#

also its not really that relevant, you asked how people deal with ripping threat from moonfire when tank is gathering, i told you the best ways to deal with it and you went on about how every tank is trash..

delicate perch
#

it's the other players that are out of touch!!

analog condor

are ret paly's op as hell in m+?

i asked the guy, he thought i would probably do better on higher keys.higher hp pools

sly wadi
#

10's are baby keys, ret gets their output out insanely fast, boomies have pretty hefty windup, as keys go higher boomie does better

wheat rivet
#

i was KOTG

sly wadi
#

aaaaaand you almost certainly should be EC, but I'll let someone smarter than me weigh in on that

wheat rivet
#

right, so many pulls im being beat by everyone but the healer getting my dots up

then i would catch up to 2nd place

#

i would crush bosses

#

@sly wadi ty DJ!

lofty depot

We can however Starfall the boss and echo

lofty depot

#

So, how do boomies handle massive pulls for stuff in like 10+ keys? (Yes I know those are 'baby' keys to some). By the time stuff is decently grouped up and has tank aggro, I have to sit there and try to get my dots on it, by then it's half dead and I feel like I'm doing nothing.

dry compass
sly wadi
#

i tend to only dot higher prio stuff, then go into my starfire/starfall rotation, but I'm an ape, so could be wrong

celest narwhal
dry compass
#

Unless you're playing with a brewmaster they shouldn't have threat issues

celest narwhal
#

Just be cautious of body pulls. Like the first pull of arakara

paper flower
#

They often say to hold off on starfall and such while they are gathering, i guess i could slap MF on things and Sunfire when it is all together

celest narwhal
#

Yup

lofty depot
#

But yea, u can mf while they gather stuff. I generally wait a little after they pull each set of mobs. But the longer u wait the less actual damage ur gonna do

haughty moon
#

Tank aggro feels egregiously bad compared to last season

paper flower
#

I instinctively hit Sunfire first bc I'm like 'it will put more dots on things at once'. Need to fix that mindset.

haughty moon

I’ll watch them hit a pack and still rip it with moonfire

#

looks like bad uptime mostly?

#

and not pushing foe on cd. you're at 50% uptime

cold elm
#

I'm not sure how well wowanalzer and uptime plays with dungeon logs

haughty moon
#

someone hear previously explained to me that foe should be about 85%+ uptime in dungeons at a minimum

round field
#

Huh

haughty moon
#

and even that's pretty bad

round field
#

What...

haughty moon
#

i had some question about how it accounts for downtime in pulls

round field
#

I dunno

haughty moon
#

that was the response i got at the time

round field
#

If foe is off cd press it

#

Not much to think about

haughty moon
#

i mean if you're entering a large pull and it's off cd you'd still dot first

#

i don't go off cd immediately

round field
#

Well ye

haughty moon
#

well that's downtime

round field
#

But other than that

#

Not really

haughty moon
#

it's the definition of downtime KEKW

round field
#

Its not downtime if ur not supposed to press it

haughty moon
#

well yes but i'm looking at wowanalyzer

#

it's just looking at secs elapsed since the skill came off cd

round field
#

Cant really make it do anything else

haughty moon
#

ya

#

hence the rough percentage i was given

cold elm
#

if the pack is at 20% hp or smth I usually hold onto foe, maybe I shouldn't do it but it feels kinda bad to use it when the pack is close to dying

round field
#

No point putting a number on it

haughty moon
#

you should just send it

#

it gives newbies a metric to look at

#

has its uses

#

if you know you're supposed to be near there and it's actually 50 you've just id-ed a leak you can fix

haughty moon
low sigil
haughty moon
#

ya if you're entering a new pack and dotting moonfire is actively reducing it

low sigil
#

yep! exactly

haughty moon
#

looking at the analyzer you're also missing some enchants that's super easy to fix

#

also not sure why your sunfire uptime is so off from your moonfire uptime

cold elm
#

yeah that's definitely something I need to improve, also I need to find a better way to display DoTs on targets, my current setup doesn't show it well in big pulls

haughty moon
#

yeah that's a big one for me in m+, you can get a plater setting that changes the name plate if they don't have moonfire

#

i don't really use anything like that for sunfire though

#

although my ui does have a count of how many dots are active at the same time

#

can consider something like that?

cold elm
#

huh I need to look into it. changing the border of the nameplate or smth when theyre dotted up would be helpful

haughty moon
#

i can send you

With the new(ish) opener, is it worth hitting sunfire during the second CA or just let it fall and refresh it afterward?

jaunty blaze

you dont want it to fall off

tropic pollen
#

Seems inevitable, though. I might be missing something but going by the sequence I don't think it lasts long enough for the second round of the 2 buffed starsurges.

jaunty blaze
#

ye so press sunfire

lofty depot
#

In the other opener we were hitting Sunfire as well

tropic pollen
#

Unless you just mean to use the global during CA and hit it. That's what I've been doing, but it looks like some of the top logs aren't hitting it

lofty depot
#

It's not uncommon, u want to keep it up

tropic pollen
#

Makes sense, thanks

jaunty blaze
#

you want to get as much out of your buffed surges as possible

#

that means having sunfire up

lofty depot
#

After ur doing spamming surges and need to build, u would Sunfire there

tropic pollen
#

It looks to me like this person is not. I only mention this one because we're only just getting to forgeweaver (we're old and bad), so I took a look at a log. https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/46RJxBatzGcpQhL8?fight=26&type=casts&source=39&view=timeline

It's possible I'm reading it wrong (or that despite the good parse they could have opened better) but does it seem like they're not refreshing sunfire until after the 2nd buffed starsurge window?

lofty depot
#

Well he shouldn't have to in that case

#

I was merely saying, if u need to refresh Sunfire in CA, u should

#

Think it was more common in the old opener cuz it was longer time frame

#

That also, assume ur sending CDs on start of fight of Araz 🙂

cloud lion
#

One day we will enter nexus last phase with every1 alive

tropic pollen
#

Shouldn't he have to? If the first one is it 2 seconds and his last buffed star surge is at 21 seconds, wouldn't it have fallen? I'm not sure it makes a huge difference, I'm just trying to figure out what to do.

Do you not send your CDs on the start of Araz?

jaunty blaze
#

you can

#

either on pull or delay into first add spawn

tropic pollen
#

Got it

lofty depot
#

See me send CA later and have to Sunfire boss

#

Uhh, sunfire lasts long enough

tropic pollen
#

Maybe I've got a talent wrong (I'm very new to balance) but it sunfire for me is 18 seconds, which would mean that guys sunfire had fallen at 21 seconds.

lofty depot
#

Well he didn't cast it til 2s

#

And then Starfall extend

tropic pollen
#

well 18 gets you to 20 and he doesn't have a starfall cast in that window. Maybe it doesn't really matter, I just happened to notice it and wasn't sure how to approach it. I think what I was screwing up mostly was sunfiring before moonfiring. It isn't much, but it makes the sunfire drop a second or so earlier.
