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
oh i didn't know you can sit in the pool
i didnt say u can sit in the pool
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
read the pin
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
I dont like this iteration 🙁
wjhy
Doesn't make sense
what part
So we ignore the buff from dryads expiring and prio the Boat/Tree
it expires when u press the 2nd ca
it coincidenes
dryad die, new dryad spawns
Got it
So you hit CA and 1st lot expires = gives buff
yes
NOW that makes sense
does it
Nah still feels bad
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.
Anyone knows if Gamz are streaming
click on their name and find out
he's streaming but like who wants to watch feral gameplay
not sure what im doing wrong wow anzyer is not much help , doing low dps and grey phrases https://wowanalyzer.com/report/HbQw1WydDtLpNGax/6-Heroic+Soulbinder+Naazindhri+-+Kill+(4:53)/Needcaffeine/standard is just bad use Celestial Alignment any help would help to point what im Fk up
ilvl king coming through
wtf
Your CD senquencing is all wrong and you sent Convoke without CA and CA without convoke, You need to line up CA convoke and trees. You should read the dreamgrove compendium.
Question, why dont u have a 720 staff crafted
- U need to dot things before pressing CDs
- U press trees before convoking because convoke does a lot of damage and trees increases that damage
i was main tank at first but ask move to dps as we had to many tanks
i will go get 720 staff crafted
do not use starfall at all
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
keep meaning to make macro have make on invert too
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
completely forgot about that , not even sure Wild Charge is on my bar ,
ty for help
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
im great not good at casters , i was try cat but found it touch much keep a eye one and i have the reflex's of stoned Sloth
ty for help again
smh still using third party image service in 2025
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?
long time no see
Hello bamkins, i have a question about kotg tier set gameplay on double ca action
did you beat lost ark
unlucky, going from winner to loser
idk if i would call it winning
oh if it's a sidegrade then maybe not unlucky
something something about friends we made along the way
well the 2nd charge of incarn isnt likely going to line up
in the 2x ca rotation thing
puush?
kind of depends on key level cuz double incarning
ok why tf am i getting flamed here
cause its 2025 old man
but later in the key... im missing incarn my like 10-15 seconds on araz, so lily should be lining up find if u have downtime
snipping tool
yes
which ca are u talking about
and upload to puush automatically
holy hecka
smh
the 2nd one in opener?
dont piss me off
are u gonna hulk smash me
You do the thing, into convoke, into CA, and then u get empowered surges so you insta spend that, but you also get dryad, and when it ends u get another 2x surges
do those last 2 fit inside the CA?
well on 2nd pull if I skip using second charge I could use it on 3rd with lily again right, that was my question, or if you would just send and send lily separately
is it like last 2 ca globals thing
sure i love abusing mod powers
CA is 12s and dryad is 10s so you always have time
yes
i get to just send thyme memes in cyoncord whenever i get dg vacation
yea, so i spend 3 surges with that ca.. wrath spam. press i believe 1 or 2.. then wrath spam til end of ca so u can spam 2 surges
so i should always make sure to send those 2 before my ca ends
win win
i would send 2nd incarn and not worry about ur trinket
arctic have you played cosmos at all
then line up all the other incarns with trinket
its fucking SICK
isnt cosmos bad?
always
aight ty
me and the boys love cosmos
yes
How much do u guys sim on bamkin
more than you
wondering how far off i am on my resto guy
ur about to proc dakd
trying to get used to it again probably play on nexus and dimmy
prove it buddy
seems poggers
big normal parsing?
lfr logger smh my h
yes ackshully

my god I suck at priest
gotta lock in tho
not even 5.5
I'm pisslow ilvl
so was i
u forgot to upgrade weapon to mythic brotherman
heroic not good
waiting for it to drop gg
guys what is better Keeper of the grove or elune's chosen?
heroic v cool thats fake news
elunes

ok but double proc palyable or
fuck it ima play it
starweaver is beans
man i have 2k crit as bamkin
no u
but i feel like the way you play
is that good
it doesnt really matter kekkers
ask robot
for what
m+
ec
so lucky to have that mount 🙁 I CRI EVRI TEIM
y crit so low
was pretty easy to get ngl
just kill boss ggs
have a good guild ?
ye but i only play bamkin on couple bosses
i will eventually make it good
maybe gem sets idk
i swap gems between bosses/soul hunters
just because ec is so misery with kotg stats
yer 6x gems and enchants
and ur up good
i have 710 forge
probably wont be getting mythic one any time soon
will take it from vault tho
since dont really need anything for resto anymore
yea nice
if you cared (you don't) could sim soleah options
need some alpha in my life
as well
oh trust me i will lmao
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
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
Ye they forced me ggs
I always try to go dps on reclears tho, cant be bothered to overheal these bitchass bosses
So boring
you can get giga dps precombat with nexusking trinky
make trinket swap macro
consume two of the trinket debuffs with regrowth
before starting to wrath
and then swap trinky to other passive
over 2% on 5min sim
you're a real clanker these days clankz
truly
thats some rec cook shit

and you wanna know why? cuz i did stupid apl shit thinking the deadline was still over a week out
i cant
since i play 2 on use trinklets
ohh, soleahs
true
big yikers
can also get degen and actually run nexusking natty
surely for your current offspec you wanna go and regrowth people mid fight
banger
congrats on the cook tho
v cool
apparently its dps increase if i just play the 704 crystal
might slam some dawnbreakers for 710 before reclear lmao
yes, ty brother
as resto i assume
bro i aint gonna get vault or kill....
benched but cant get myself locked in case of absences..........
my moonkin pug experience so far
looks like its going good
consider making friends or
u got 99 parses or?
otherwise u aint gettin in chief
no scrubs
All 14s and half of 15s done so, gotta get in the rest of 15s next 🤣
thats not what he meant tho
ye thats not what i meant
raid logs
the onyl shit that matters
my raid logs are insane.... god damn
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.
it's not ideal but it's not like you'l lbe doing 10% less dps. just hang onto/farm some haste jewelry
i just swap my neck and rings, but that isnt going to hold u back from doing 13-15s
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
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.
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
It's a design issue
Everything about ec design is horrifying atm, and the tier set is the cherry on top
yeah, both design and numbers issues have been a plague on this spec for a while now 
EC design is so regressive to me, like i'm playing wotlk moonkin again, but the number results is undeniable
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.
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
Playable but you’re gonna hate every second of it
EC is just gonna be a lot easier and numerically superior
Gotcha I will definitely stick to EC then.
Lmao, Im too blind for melee. Im scared shitless of dying enough as ranged.
people in your guild are wrong
starfire is your highest damage by like 5%
kinda based guildies tbh, they'd know for sure
This is my breakdown from a +11 floodgate I just ran.
yeah if they're not convinced just tell them it's the 4pc
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.
learning mechanics and getting better at that while not afking the rotation will increase ur damage, yes
hold your tongue
Hold it for me


That’s a lot of all stars points damn
Is it a good option to reach 6 stacks, or is it better to cast Fury of Elune on cooldown?
you use fury on cd
100% sure?
wdym am i sure lol
Like 99 hehehe
dont believe colored name propaganda
u can go 20+ seconds of no procs. which would then mean ur holding foe
thats just giga worse
so foe on CD
as he stated, yes
sry, ty
ty

Are you sure sir artic that we do in fact foe on cd
trying to gear up a pisslow char is a mistake holy
I only feel like it’s worth min maxing 4pc ec when I’m at 4+ stacks with eclipse ending and ca is about to be up so I can get boat+4pc on those big starfires
Basically same idea as trees
Yes, that's what the robot says
I knew artic was a robot
I played keeper for almost every key I did up to 3k. It's more than viable. No idea how it plays in higher keys than 13
I think it's more, keys are so fucking easy right now that you could time keys without a hero talent
Way more fun than EC
you could enter a key with pure st raid talents and do fine for 3k
I sent double ramp in the trash before halls last boss and did like 60m 😎
spiked at 50 actually
sure you could, but you'd never beat the bronze bouncer
ya if you are reading this and want to try keeper in your keys do NOT think you will get the same results 
Bruh, keeper is easy
and ec is hard?
there are people who fail to cast starfire enough man
keeper is like rocket science to them
just crazy everytime I scroll through here and read "keeper is unplayable"
defs not unplayable, but the cd management just seems more thinking than the average player wants/should want
EC so braindead
keeper CD management is double single double single double single double single
sometimes you say fuck it and do double double
🤷♂️
Keeper is easy but it’s not ec easy
Idk why you’d ever tell anyone to play keeper in keys
correct
that do be what the talent does
Why the like 15 pixel gaps
You gonna pick up those headphones?
Mby invite people who arent cripples in the group
(i actually think keeper is decent after playing it for a bit)
And its also more fun than whatever ec is
haha no, i dont like bose
im more about sound quality then comfort
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
got my 3k time to hibernate
It's less about telling someone to play something, and more about telling ppl it's not playable.
i mean, playing keeper in m+ is pretty unfun
No its not
if u squint enough, foe icon looks like shrek looking to (his) left
depends on your metric of fun, it's unfun when the group complains and when you can't keep up, but if you're keeping up with the group and hitting the buttons at the right time i think it's more fun than ec
I cant unsee this now
orbit breaker and EG are swing points
with eg gamer
makes the ramp pretty chill as well. Only need like 50 ap
Idk what i even have
but I also think it's just good for burst aoe
Probably shrooms and something
You're welcome
shroom is fine, I got tired of it proccing on a mob while tank is pulling, slowing the mob, then ripping threat and dying
900 ap pulsar
happened 2 keys in a row and I untalented and never looked back
Yeah ive had it happen aswell
i still play manual shrooms for when i don't want to wait for the smolder proc
really wish after s2 that they just perma gave us the jackpot shrooms, that was so comfy to play
is there going to be a season 4 or we goin straight to midnight?
i think right now we're looking to go straight to midnight
no s4, u get housing instead
what are your thoughts when midnight gonna release?
feb/march
i havent set foot in those remix thingys, is it actually fun or does it become a grind for those bronze real fast?
so true
was fun for a week or so, then just grinding out cosmetic
no idea how legion will go, there was a ptr for it
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
so you create a fresh character for those remix stuff or how does it work?
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
are we getting legion legendaries in the remix? i haven't seen ptr data for it all
or stay on there for a bit to grind the other mogs
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
usually they have a ton of sets but I'm not sure which ones exactly
they got a few remix speicfic ones but there's probably recolors of tier sets from that era
the cloak literally the only one that stuck with me
there's like fel shalamayne for 1h and 2h
last remix there were tons of vendors for pmuch every non-exclusive item that could be obtainted from MOP
wish I played more mop
speaking of, it introduced me to my dislike of the campsites
cant find specific realm characters anymore

It says when you hover over their name what realm they're on
do you know how much that doesnt help
like putting every spreadsheet on the same page
sure it works
given that most people here cant do correct keeper rotation hitting a dummy its easier to just recommend EC
but keeper is indeed playable and not necessarily that far behind either
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
ofc
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
You can just link them in here and someone will normally be about to have a look
Alright to easy they're terrible, just don't understand what im doing or not doing that's so wrong.
Im shadypapa on the Logs if anyone wants to message me or post here I dont mind.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/rzDJdNBFXL2MfvTP?view=rankings&boss=-2&difficulty=0&wipes=2
There's a lot to unpack there. Have you read or watched any guides?
I watched 1 but clearly it's not working or I watched in blind folded
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
Just an Elune's Chosen gamer it looks like
Cancelled your Convoke after like 1 second
Oh yeah so
Pressed Sunfire twice in like 4 seconds
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
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
Haha yeah I figured out my convoked issue but yeah I did notice that
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
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
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
Like Gamz said, at this point you benefit more from reading a guide
Since it looks like you're missing the fundamentals
Yeah, you're either moving way more than you need to or you're planning wrong for movement
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
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
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
Yeah I felt super awkward on kotg
What has resulted in the double CA window change? 5% buff makes it easier to reach cap or?
Better BOAT and trinket efficiency
Not really, it was probably an increase to play that way ever since the cap was reduced to 10x int
Might look for a weakaura to make seeing my eclipse more apparent/visible
I see
Try Oi's pack linked in Compendium, it's definitely the most used one
Alright done thanks so much mate, might go watch a guide and give it another crack and come back
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
Kinda cringe for it to be an increase to clip more of our cd window
CA is not a very powerful CD really
I mean its not but its still a design flaw
The entire spec is a design flaw
This is also true
cant wait for the boomy rework in midnight
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?
hi want to ask question regarding rotation.
the empowered starsurges from dryads has to be ideally casted inside second Incarn?
should only be a few seconds if its desynced so just hold
around 20 seconds

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
Macro Araz to CA and brain off
Well I did, obviously, but then you wont have araz for 2nd convoke-phase
yea idk i havent rly payed much attention, mine always seems to be back up in time
What do you mean?
and only use it way later again when waiting for double CA
These are mine
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
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.
CA is not a 1.5 min CD
As trees will also be on cd
Well I guess it is if you're using the talent thing
But you have 2 charges
So it's not a problem
this is prob why i dont have this problem

You hold your 3rd CA until Araz and Convoke is ready at 2 minutes
i usually just use the one button rotation so i can focus on mechanics
smart
mehanics doer dwilkz
That's what I thought aswell, and just wanted to make sure.
And just strictly speaking, control the dream doesn't affect convoke syncing up with Araz

how does 2 minute trinket and 2 minute cooldown not align
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
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

@fossil hemlock @lucid olive
|thank you
hey everyone . i have a little question , do you know why in raidbot the dungeon slice is not available for the EC spec ?
dungeonslice is not supported for moonkin
see anything else at a glance?
ho ! ok thanks . what should i sims so for the mm+/ec ?
this is illegal as well
you never surge outside of eclipse
if you're overcapped on astral power, don't be
this is obvious issue, always be casting, plan for movement etc etc
alright to easy
if you go to the compendium (in pins or in the channel description), in the FAQ you'll find this question answered
this as well, uptime on your dots should be 99% basically
ok thanks
you never let dots fall off
allright done
🫡
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
yeah ive gathered that kotg is meant to be better. might have to switch
just get comfortable with the basics of the spec, then it'll be easier to swap
kotg is just a bit too much better now and only really have to play the cooldowns right to do viable dmg
someone can explain people that compare now on retail balance druid with a beast mastery hunter who received huge buffs for m+?
Uh
and how can u inttrrerupt asa balance when they took out ur bash ability, the solar beam is 1 min cd
(you never used it)
Every 45 sec actually
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
Have you tried talenting it?
even though ye i talented
You cant use it in moonkin form you know that right
In many cases its a lot better
Beam is basically a long stun on casters
nerf beam
Shut up cat
idk where u say it is available fluid form talent doesnt not affect balance bash it still shows grey
sorry 
the skull bash not the bash i mean
skull bash is for the other specs, we get solar beam
tahts what i am saying people in 14 and 15 complain i dont intrerupt, but if tank keeps moving packs from my beam
Its a diff talent i think
tried arakara 15
Just call them pigs and mute
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

its not btw
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
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
happens for palas aswell
with unbound freedom i think
rets cant take it but holy and prot can
why is the dmg amp at the bottom a choice node then even
To prevent resto and guardian from picking both
All specs can talent it now i believe
only seen restos go moonkin if they dont wanna go melee
Yeah i think in nerubar farm
I remember on queen prog we didnt have it from holy pala
Holy has echoing blessings on the same spot as a choice node
But on farm u did
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
shadowmeld
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
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
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
idk why his raid progress matters in that context but sure
for some reason they did better i analyze always
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
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
most DPS are crap too
if you smell farts everywhere you go maybe you should change underwear
well u cant compare 8/8 mythic with 3/8 players
have more experience and time invested
its a completely different game mode
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
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..
i said often they are
If ur 8/8 now ur kinda the goat tho or
i played druid tank blood dk and brewmaster
cool
true... are you a goat now
I hope so
gz
youre probably the dh tank that flopped in this guys key

no , i say usually they clear both m+ and raiding at high level
okay guess its the same game mode

So if they often are bad it's on you not to rip threat
pugging is torture
do well enough you get btag invites job done bro
i did aotc in df s1 s2, people in guild dont flame, already had logs, both m+ and raid, but in pug group they
also nerfs on balance compared to buffs on other class tunnings
but how much depends the comp in higher keys, is more like build the comp specs first it to work at all?
i alrready have 110 runs in m+ this season only pugs
thank you for the tips
yo boomkins that have killed araz mythic, what the actual fuck are we doing on that fight, are we even starfalling at all? or just dot the adds with like a sunfire and keep hitting boss type shit?
U can stand between boss dam echo and Starfall. Generally just Sunfire the orbs yea. Didn't go lunar.
you taking any of the starfall talents then for araz? or full st
U can look at warcraftlogs for the build, but yes we're playing twin moons and kindling
U can use lorrgs.io to see where people used CDs aswell
U can see noticeable differences by what u group with. Normal comp is say boomkin/fdk and mage/dh. If you take away the mage and bring BM or ele, suddenly all 3 of you are fighting for overall.
aggro this season is piss
u can moonfire a mob in the pack that just got thunderclapped by the tank
and 2 mobs in that pack u didnt hit with moonfire will somehow aggro u

Cloak proc 
What's funny is they lowered ur aggro
If the Boss dies around 6:00-6:30 i saw a lot boomies that use CDs @ 5:00 with double CA. Is that the Play ?
If you want to hold double ca for 2nd pot maybe
How do you sim for M+ as I want to find some stat weights, I know that we dont want haste for raids, but guessing we want some for M+?
- We don't use stat weights to justify gearing decisions. You sim gear itself to find said upgrades
- The FAQ in the compendium says how
I use vibes to decide my gear
honestly think doing AOE in that fight is playable now, but in some weeks, with max gear and all the other buffs all classes get, I would say do pure ST xD
we have 2 fury warriors an enhance shaman and a monk, i'm legally not allowed to do aoe i fear LOL
just kill boss, someone has to. We prob have best amp burst in game atm with arcane mages, so at least you can use it.
oh yeah I guess, I just play with bad ones
hey yall
i was doing a few 10s last night, im 711 ilvl and was neck to neck with a 699 ret paly
it was crazy
am i just playing like doodoo?
Probably
i dont have any m+ logs to share / examine
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
10's are baby keys, ret gets their output out insanely fast, boomies have pretty hefty windup, as keys go higher boomie does better
i was KOTG
aaaaaand you almost certainly should be EC, but I'll let someone smarter than me weigh in on that
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!
Well we're not killing orbs regardless
We can however Starfall the boss and echo
Out gearing 10s then playing with classes that do giga upfront damage will do that to you
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.
Moonfire while the tank is gathering
i tend to only dot higher prio stuff, then go into my starfire/starfall rotation, but I'm an ape, so could be wrong
That’s how a baby key goes
Unless you're playing with a brewmaster they shouldn't have threat issues
Just be cautious of body pulls. Like the first pull of arakara
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
Yup
Tell them to grow up
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
Tank aggro feels egregiously bad compared to last season
I instinctively hit Sunfire first bc I'm like 'it will put more dots on things at once'. Need to fix that mindset.
I’ll watch them hit a pack and still rip it with moonfire
if it helps your monkey brain like it helps mine, just think about how many you could dot with one GCD if you wait just a lil bit 
Can anyone take a quick look why my damage is so low in a +11 with ilvl 708 gear?

i pop it through wowanalyzer when i'm not sure, here's yours https://wowanalyzer.com/report/DTt3B2y6P8GVnJzr/1-Mythic++Eco-Dome+Al'dani+-+Kill+(25:31)/Meronpan/standard/overview
looks like bad uptime mostly?
and not pushing foe on cd. you're at 50% uptime
I'm not sure how well wowanalzer and uptime plays with dungeon logs
someone hear previously explained to me that foe should be about 85%+ uptime in dungeons at a minimum
Huh
and even that's pretty bad
What...
i had some question about how it accounts for downtime in pulls
I dunno
that was the response i got at the time
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
Well ye
well that's downtime
it's the definition of downtime 
Its not downtime if ur not supposed to press it
well yes but i'm looking at wowanalyzer
it's just looking at secs elapsed since the skill came off cd
Cant really make it do anything else
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
No point putting a number on it
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
the reason i was told was because foe's cd is really about half of what's shown. not using it on cd when dots are up is a damage loss
you should send it because when you use arcane abilities it reduces the CD of foe by 2 seconds. not using it you're not getting the benefit of the Lunation talent.
ya if you're entering a new pack and dotting moonfire is actively reducing it
yep! exactly
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
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
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?
huh I need to look into it. changing the border of the nameplate or smth when theyre dotted up would be helpful
I'm using a profile already that I quite like, I wanna try to modify it with that feature
ya it's just in the mods section
it does make it harder to see who i'm targetting tho but i got used to it
Hey! does anyone know if we are able to typhoon our own adds on araz or is it too tight if we get targeted?
If u wildcharge yes
Hey, using the culminative blasphemite do i really need to go with all type of gems or i can only slot quick onyx ?
Sim it
Okay, i'm not really familiar with Raidbot yet, just gotta select all the glyphs i wanna sim ?
U'll also liley need to check said box
And always use and only max colors under the primary gems
But yes, u need to select gens
Depending on what ur doing it might be Crit + haste in other cases maybe no haste
Alright i'm gonna check that, sim is running
yeah i kinda got "lost" i was checking wowhead page, then icyveins
and icyveins mentionned running every glyph type for the blasphemite while wowhead was only mentionning quick onyx/masterful emerald
gotta definitely use raidbots more
Don't use guides for gearing/stat decisions
This the result I got
Like buying a suit online and thinking that shit is gonna fit perfectly
Show the sim not a picture
U also didnt add sockets to ur ring
Also running cursed enchants is generally wrong
Sorry for being clueless but what do you mean by that ?
Yup, first week i've been able to do +10 so i will get myhtic in the vault, just joined the game 3 weeks ago so i missed first week of the season
What's the metric you would usually use for that ? 6boss? how long ?
I left it at ur funny 4t5m cuz I'm on mobile but it's not correct way
FAQ in compendium
There's ways to do dungeon routes in the sim
There's no dungeon pull that's 5m long
Unless we're trolling
There are also no raid fights that are 5 minutes of standing still but you’re happy to use that sim config
Kinda put whatever i thought was right but it seems like i was totally wrong ahah, i'll learn how to use raidbot sorry for the bothering
ur not bothering me at all my message was to artic


swap race/name every new tier to reset ur id

full moon sucks doesnt it 🙁
Yes
my starsurge is almost just as strong, feels so wasteful to cast - ok that's gone. Stellar Flare also seems worthless?
(been a while, dusting off an old boomie)
Ur surge should be way stronger
It prolly will be, I suck right now
Wild surges better
Wrath does damage
how is balance's damage in m+ compared to other classes?
guys anyone know the name of the weakaura that let you sim mdt routes
FAQ in compendium
oh i didnt know it was there i remember someone sending the link here
thats why i asked, thank you





Why is Nature Grace taken over Astronomical Impact on aoe build for m+? is those 2 spells faster really that much?
impact also doesn't do as much in aoe
Used to be better when smolder was based on Crit :/
With the new(ish) opener, is it worth hitting sunfire during the second CA or just let it fall and refresh it afterward?
you dont want it to fall off
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.
ye so press sunfire
In the other opener we were hitting Sunfire as well
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
It's not uncommon, u want to keep it up
Makes sense, thanks
you want to get as much out of your buffed surges as possible
that means having sunfire up
After ur doing spamming surges and need to build, u would Sunfire there
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?
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 🙂
One day we will enter nexus last phase with every1 alive
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?
Got it
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.
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.
convoke casts a starfall which extends it
Should I empty AP before convoke on opener or is there some interaction that makes that bad?
you can fit 2 surges, 3 if ur lusted
ty 🙂
empty could be 3-4 and u dont have enough time for that to get trees ending + ca buffed surges
iirc
That's it. Great point.
Hey guys quick questin will we use starfall at 3+ mobs or 2+
depends on if you have kindling talented
I do
So if i have kindling i will do it @ 2+ ?
yes
Ty
HI how is you today
we outside with it
youre touching grass?
thats not what that means
is this band of the shattered soul actually any good?
sim it
Is a ring with like 6k haste good for a spec that currently does not care for haste
Great question
