New tier

#

📈

round field
#

No tier s1

#

Go next

lucid olive
#

Cosmic Rapidity, Orbit Breaker, Cosmos, Starweaver build with Meteor Storm

#

sounds like it could go super hard

jade flume
#

They are adding some cool stuff next expansion though or

round field
#

Are they?

#

Like what

jade flume
#

Idk im resto

round field
#

They removed bees Smadge

lucid olive
#

I imagine they're going to do the same they did in Nerubar and Vault and have the first seasons tier sets be not as intrusive and more lowkey

round field
#

Yea

lucid olive
#

but who knows

round field
#

Just gonna be randy dmg buff on something probably

lucid olive
#

they might add complexity in tier sets since they ripped it from the specs

indigo barn
#

Current 2p is getting baked in no? Just 4p gone

lucid olive
#

yes

vital shadow
#

Tyvm

lucid olive
#

but unsure if the Dryad is the exact same

#

needs to be tested more

fossil hemlock
#

Their argument for them being simple in S1 of TWW was "you just got new talent trees, play with those first"

round field
fossil hemlock
#

Same argument as they used for TWW S1, but weaker

#

Who knows

indigo barn
#

I will take boring tier over 30m dps opener and tank dmg in between

Moonkin Alpha Changes

🌟 Everything in this list and anywhere on alpha is subject to change 🌟
🌟 Leave feedback on the forums 🌟

TL;DR: Reworked Eclipse and Mastery to greatly reduce ramp time.

  • Sunfire/Moonfire requirement for Mastery is removed and Mastery is now just flat damage increase
  • Stellar Flare, Waning Twilight, Umbral Inspiration, Astronomical Impact, Warrior of Elune are all gone
  • Eclipse is now a single button on the GCD - The button changes depending on your last builder used. 15 second duration, 30 second cooldown. Talent (mandatory) that makes it 2 charges and another talent (optional) that makes it 28 second cooldown.
  • You can not press Eclipse while already in the same Eclipse, this also means you can not cancel CA early by pressing Eclipse
  • You can cancel a current Eclipse by casting the opposite Eclipse
  • Astral Smolder remade into an Apex Talent interacting with all crits and not just Wrath/Starfire
  • Renewal removed, passive Renewal still in
  • Nature's Vigil removed, replaced by a better Mark of the Wild on yourself
  • Starlord is 20 second buff up from 15 seconds, refreshes on Eclipse entry
  • Dryad tier set baked into Keeper of the Grove hero talent, without the 4pc, and spawning on Eclipse instead of CA. Pressing CA does not spawn 2 Dryads.

Bunch of new talents added that interact with Eclipse with the intent of making Eclipse a mini cooldown with more leniency on when to use in a fight instead of a maintenance buff.

Design and tuning are separate. Don't jump to assumption about meta or tuning before the expansion out.

You can see me, Oi and Tettles and our reaction to the changes in this youtube video

You can find all talent changes here

vital shadow
lucid olive

sounded like someone reporting the weather during a hurricane

indigo barn
#

Also wouldnt mind if they get rid of some more RNG from the spec. Some of it was 4p crit but stuff like denizen uptime

round field
#

dw

#

they add more

#

now u have to crit cause it does 20% extra

#

and if ur good

#

you always enter both eclipses

#

cant wait for cn rank1 perma ca

sudden flame
lucid olive
#

Seeing every class discord crash out over losing complexity, meanwhile moonkin gained it BASED

jade flume
#

Tbh i do think they might be pruning a bit too much

#

I dont think having both barrier and uppies as disc is bad or ascendance and healing tide totem

#

Etc.

lucid olive
#

I think scaling everything back is good if they add on top later

#

But yeah seeing healers lose a bunch of cooldowns is kinda funny

#

Hopefully it means that damage intake will be scaled better

jade flume
#

Yeah probably, but i think having 2 cds as healer is not that insane

round field
#

nope

jade flume
#

1 just seems low

round field
#

now they have to get good

#

and press correct buttons

#

aka whole raid dead

drifting nova
#

SuspiciousChicken wheres this m+ lfd

round field
#

cause healers are the worst players in the world

drifting nova
#

not seeing it on any of the pages

jade flume
#

I dont think dps players should be allowed to talk about playing good low key

round field
#

pig

#

ur so washed

#

you rerolled healer

#

cause ur fingers dont work anymore

#

dont talk to me

jade flume

As limit maximus once said

Took me like 10mins to get into key as bamkin

And im 723 ilvl 2k rio blaster...

Spec is doomed

lucid olive
#

Don't think I've done a key as boomkin in weeks..

drifting nova
#

every week my want to sit in queue simulator goes down

lucid olive
#

It's so boring can't stand another season of pressing Starfire in Lunar perma

drifting nova
#

at this point it's almost try for 10mins

#

then log the fuck off

jade flume
#

Ye tbf i dont need that many keys on druid lol

#

Its mostly all the dumbass alts

drifting nova
#

not been able to find a hoa in weeks

jade flume
#

Ye i dont mind not finding that dungeon ever

drifting nova
#

but I've been locked in tazavesh

#

5 out of the past like 8dungeons

#

physical keys gotta go

#

surely that'l be put in the next alpha post 🙂

jade flume
#

What is caping only 3k mean

drifting nova
#

that single short sentence convinces me the ladder is broken

maiden pasture
#

True elitism

drifting nova

I've seen more bad 3kers than good ones tbh

jade flume

I still havent timed 10 streets

Only done an 8

I hope i will never end up in that key again tbh

drifting nova

cant find hoa/ara

THERE IT IS

Might have to do 12s for vendor on mage though

drifting nova
#

tfw get into a group

#

#

oh no

#

crafting is a mistake

jade flume

Is there any video or vod of bamkin on alpha

i dont think anyone got the alpha bar tettles

drifting nova

Just get luckier with vaults

#

just that easy

round field
#

Why would you not craft?

drifting nova
#

crafting bad

#

we've been over this before

round field
#

Only thing youve been over is a traumatic brain injury

jade flume
#

My priest has 5 crafts

drifting nova
#

rather see prod profs be dead again over these crafts

#

ANyone here who played PTR, which weapon tree you think is best for boomkins on Lemix? Are we more or less locked into the cast while moving tree, or can we / should we take some other tree?

drifting nova
#

did ele get nerfed in keys?

jade flume
#

Not yet

#

Its not a spec that feels good in lower noober keys tho

drifting nova
#

whys he under the tank

lucid olive
#

Not in ascendance plus bad player plus low keys

glass meteor
#

Alpha chads is it over or are we so fkin back?

drifting nova
#

not sending your best I see

jade flume
#

Ce players are noobers

drifting nova
#

first flood pull

#

the big one was 6m

maiden pasture
#

anyone in kekkers-low is not a good player

#

gg

sudden flame
#

so balance mastery is nature and arcane spells do more damage now

pallid bay
#

yea

drifting nova
#

exactly what it is now

sudden flame
#

also eclipse is just tigers fury or what

#

press damage increase button every 30 second

fossil hemlock
#

Sort of but sort of not

round field
#

but only works on some spells

#

depending on which you pick

ionic surge
#

So its worse than tiger's fury

round field
#

pretty much

#

tf also gives you energy

#

eclipse does not

#

and its also on gcd

ionic surge
#

Sorry, it's MUCH worse than TF got it

tawdry oak

Time to start dooming for midnight then?

Did u not read the changes

drifting nova

schrodingers doom

round field
lofty depot
#

No

fossil hemlock
#

The changes look mostly good to me, with a few kinks to work out

drifting nova
#

nothing but kinks

lofty depot
#

Worried about buff windows, when they changed the mastery and made eclipse a CD

#

Dot mastery gone, means we're on the rise

#

Starfall at 8t, lock in

molten sandal
drifting nova
#

I thought the entire point of hero talents

#

is going forward theyd replace regular talents

lofty depot
#

Replace regular talents?

drifting nova
#

to distance themself from eachother

lofty depot
#

No that's not what they're used for

drifting nova
#

as in

#

newly gained talents

#

would be hero

#

not regular

lofty depot
#

So what's the problem?

drifting nova
#

it's 90% apex

lofty depot
#

Gained 3 hero talent and 3 apex talents

#

90% btw

#

Also, hero talents are just enhancer to differentiate the spec

#

Its not new talents are going here section

maiden pasture
#

feral is just shit so needs to be given energy xdd

#

we can still cast without astral power

#

not afk simulator

signal temple
lofty depot
#

Maybe they lower our asp generation from talents

#

Maybe with the mastery changes all the dot talents are beans

pallid bay
#

they shouldnt be

#

they'll want to keep dots strong enough to press

lofty depot
#

Gonna have to increase their damage lol

drifting nova
#

dots reign supreme

#

and order is restored

lofty depot
#

Now ur thinking

drifting nova
#

always hated mastery

#

but I am running torghast atm so what do I know

fossil hemlock
#

"Moonfire and Sunfire’s damage will be tuned to keep them as strong, efficient damage dealing spells, but the damage of your other spells will be less conditional."

maiden pasture
#

This is very pog champ

#

How many other specs have that tbf

#

Dots which can be relevant but aren't required

#

Feel like other dot specs are just like

#

Able to mass apply and burst off of them

quiet drift
#

Other dot classes have options to mass apply

fossil hemlock
#

We half have that in sunfire spread and moonfire cleave, it's not like we're rawdogging single-applying sunfire and moonfire like back in classic

quiet drift
#

Especially in raid scenario

eager raft
#

hello is boomy is good in midnight

quiet drift
#

Destro or shadow can precast and get dots up on everything as they spawn

#

Boomie is perpetually behind by design

pallid bay
eager raft
#

nice!

#

what build should I play

maiden pasture
#

Boomy will be so good, oi will want to return to expert

quiet drift

New spec = broken

Always

#

And they dash 3 times for fun and can cast while moving

sudden flame

cloud citrus
#

yea thats gonna be interesting

sudden flame
lofty depot
#

Which means u gotta take some of the talents in class tree

#

Rake, rip, grevious wounds

sudden flame
lofty depot
#

Yea hotw

vale pebble
#

If that becomes a thing it gwts shot in .1

sudden flame
#

maybe the cat to moonkin one is giga

lofty depot
#

I mean.... The gave a damage button to it specifically

#

The fuck is the point otherwise

lofty depot
sudden flame
#

gives me mob vibes of heart of the wild hurricane

indigo barn
#

Its for resto and bear to do some damage, will probably be tuned to be useless for boom and cat for damage

#

But imagine adds spawning and we dont have to put 2 dots and cast 2 starfires before doing damage to it

#

Spec saved

lofty depot
#

Assume it will likely be how it is now, where Sunfire Araz orbs run the 4s Starfall talent. During like spread AOE collectors could be dot 2 collectors and slam

#

Kinda depends obviously

maiden pasture
#

the starfall thingy could be funny

lofty depot
#

Time to snipe dam from melee

maiden pasture
#

pooling asp for padgodx and it actually doing damage

indigo barn
#

Sure if you cast dots because its worth for pure damage and asp gen its fine. They could also make starfall shorter and stronger but this is good enough

lofty depot
#

Well the talent does make Starfall shorter and stronger

indigo barn
#

I missed that part, they really cooked more then i hoped for

lofty depot

Idk, my opinion is based on what other people tell me

hey guys, I need a macro to:
Enter moonking form if not in moonkin form
Cast X if in moonkin form

pls dont refer me to talent, I know its there

maiden pasture
#

something like

/cast [noform:4] Moonkin Form; Wrath;
#

might work

#

if that doesnt work just try

/cast [noform:4] Moonkin Form 
/cast Wrath
maiden pasture
#

should work in theory

round field
#

or just talent fluid form

#

and only press wrath

maiden pasture
#

that too

drifting nova
#

or just use eyes

round field
#

big words coming from u

drifting nova
#

even I cant miss big chimkin

maiden pasture
#

he can use eyes when u can use brain

for 300% quicker starfall

am I doing something wrong or is it normal to get wrecked at overall damage by most of the other specs in pug 10-12 runs at ~712ilvl ?

sudden flame
fossil hemlock
#

I dream of a solstice/hail of stars/starweaver/orbitbreaker build

lucid olive
#

cosmic rapidity increases shooting stars frequency too now

lofty depot
#

Cuz solatice is something u don't talent ever kek

lucid olive
#

starweaver with meteor storm sounds fun af

lofty depot
fossil hemlock
#

200% more shooting stars for 6 seconds

#

Cosmic rapidity should be added to that list now

lofty depot
#

Smh, u just looked it up

fossil hemlock
#

No I was in another channel

lofty depot
#

I have the opinion 99% of people have no clue what it is

fossil hemlock
#

Solstice? Definitely

#

But I've yapped about a hail of stars/starweaver/orbitbreaker build in here before

livid jay
fossil hemlock
#

You drop to 0 stacks

#

And have to rebuild it

livid jay
#

dafaq

#

why

fossil hemlock
#

To make it cleaner

cloud citrus
#

no more cancelaura macro

fossil hemlock
#

This does prevent starlord cancelaura shenanigans entirely

#

And as long as you pool before each eclipse (as you really should) it'll be easy

livid jay
#

yae but now you are forced to sync them and to pool ap for new eclipse, before you could desync ap pooling and eclipses a bit

round field
#

ye but this is better

fossil hemlock
#

Press eclipse, dump 3 surges

livid jay
#

i guess

fossil hemlock
#

That's the whole idea

#

Out of eclipse you prepare for in-eclipse

placid olive
#

ICD of 28 seconds right?

livid jay
#

sure if that ends up being the gameplay loop

placid olive
#

Or can you go right back into the same one?

fossil hemlock
#

I think it's meant to be 30, reduced to 28 with a talent

cloud citrus
#

32 with a 2 second reductio ntalent

#

to 30

#

with 2 points to 28

fossil hemlock
cloud citrus
#

well its 32 on alpha with 30

placid olive
#

So we’ll be swapping between lunar and solar

fossil hemlock
#

"In Midnight, Lunar Eclipse and Solar Eclipse are an active ability that instantly enters Eclipse for 15 seconds, has a 30 second cooldown, and can be talented to have two charges."

#

Who the fuck knows

placid olive
#

Or we just hold the 15 seconds after sola eclipse ends to send it again? Haha

fossil hemlock
placid olive
#

Seems wild

fossil hemlock
#

What do you mean "hold the 15 seconds after sola eclipse ends"?

#

It's not an ICD, it's an active button you press with a 30-ish second CD

placid olive
#

Well doesn’t solar eclipse last 15 seconds? And there’s a 30 second ICD

livid jay
#

its one button drudiboy

#

not two buttons

fossil hemlock
#

It's not an ICD

placid olive
#

Got youuuu

#

Okay

#

Yes yes Tyty got it

livid jay
#

which eclipse you get depends on your last filler

placid olive
#

Understood, gotta change my way of thinking about eclipse now

#

For sure

fossil hemlock
#

Yep, defaulting to wrath it seems

livid jay
#

yea i thought it was two buttons at first too

placid olive
#

So solar wrath, then boom insta elvlipse, spend the free surges.

#

So we’d spend 6 fucking serges?

#

Phewww

round field
#

where did u get

#

6 surges

fossil hemlock
#

I don't think we get 3 free surges

placid olive
#

The 3 free with entering eclipse i believe plus wed pool for 3 id imagine

fossil hemlock
#

We get 3 surges that do increased damage

cloud citrus
#

it was 1 free surge right?

placid olive
#

Oh I thought I saw it earlier for 3

cloud citrus
#

3 buffed surges

placid olive
#

Could be wrong.

fossil hemlock
#

Are you thinking about this?

placid olive
#

Yesss sorry, I combined the 2

he does have AC talented

lofty depot

Gotta play AC so u can get lower asp surges

#

Lock in

fossil hemlock
#

You mean 1 lower asp surge

lofty depot
#

Gonna talent EG too

pallid bay
#

is AC not inc ap cap

fossil hemlock
#

It's both

lofty depot

Enter eclipse lowers it yea

nova ocean
#

There's still a lot of tuning obviously, but I feel like with the new moonkin design you might just not use dots at all since waning is gone and mastery doesn't use it

fiery kindle
#

Which is the best transmog for Night Elf

pallid bay
maiden pasture
#

Or

#

They dont and we never have to dot

#

w

nova ocean
#

I'm assuming they will too but just thinking for how it is currently

lucid olive
#

you'd still dot for shooting stars

round field
#

and orbit breaker

#

mandatory talent

lucid olive
#

and shooting stars has DR when applied to more targets

#

so you'll dot up to a certain target count

round field
#

lowkey

#

not bad xpac

Like m+ I'm guessing u sunfire only

nova ocean
#

Instead of moon firing everything

maiden pasture
#

Did you play shadowlands

#

There were specific numbers of mobs where it was worth dotting

#

It will likely be similar

lucid olive
#

yeah its probably going back that route

maiden pasture
#

Still moonfire while gathering

#

It was a bit different because of rotating eclipses back then but

#

Similar style will be back

nova ocean
#

Assuming ur tank can hold aggro lol

lucid olive
#

play with better tanks

round field
#

tell ur tank to cast an ability

#

instead of body pulling

nova ocean
#

I moon fire one mob and it's like I'm still grouping them man

maiden pasture
#

Tell him to grow up and hit the mobs

lucid olive
#

and don't freak out when you have aggro on a mob and just kite it thru the tank

#

tanks can see threat changes on nameplates they know when they dont have threat on shit

#

make it easier for the tank to take it back by kiting the mob through him

#

and hope that some pepega brain melee isnt in there slamming and rips threat instead

wicked shuttle
normal pilot
#

can't be that important anyways, hard to control dots with console controller

haughty moon
#

the dot change is pretty good because we can swap prio target really easily now without loss right

normal pilot
#

yes less dots and less importance of dots is always better for dps because of how they tune

round field
#

can slam fast starfall

#

big aoe burst

#

instead of having to dot

haughty moon
#

ya bc right now it's just a mastery enabler right

#

like if i have to swap to an ad in dimmy this would be way cleaner/faster

lucid olive
#

fast starfall with starweaver sounds like such a vibe

haughty moon
#

i don't really understand the eclipse change though

normal pilot
#

just think of it as a mini CA

#

you press it every 15-30s when you want a bit more damage

nova ocean
#

Do people like that it's a choice node with kindling for the Starfall ticks faster

haughty moon
#

does it mean we end up spending a lot more time out of an eclipse?

maiden pasture
#

Yes

lucid olive
#

yeah it makes sense for it to be a choice node

normal pilot
#

no starfall should tick faster from haste by default but this is better than nothing

maiden pasture
#

It's a good design to have the choice be between sustained aoe damage or burst aoe damage

vagrant prawn
#

@lofty depot do you play fantasy football?

i'm curious about dryad's starfall

does the dryad use 5 or 4 starsurges now

they'll prolly forget to adjust the script

maiden pasture
#

When are you getting alpha gamz

lucid olive
#

does its starfall last 8 seconds and does that mean it has the same properties as your own now

normal pilot
#

so it'll do 5 with enough haste to start

maiden pasture
#

Surely you got a hookup

lucid olive
normal pilot
#

need to make more content

lucid olive

yeah unfortunate

have you guys seen firemage buttons? 😄

#

apparently everything they got on max lvl

#

for ST

lucid olive
#

thank god

quaint gorge
#

Balance hardest caster next expansion?

lucid olive
#

definitely not

livid jay
#

i mean number of buttons doesnt make it hard but fire mage without anything but these three just seems boring af

normal pilot
#

balance got button bloat with an extra button

#

unplayable

gentle scroll
#

I wonder what the easiest spec is going to be after everything is done being simplified

normal pilot
#

whichever loses the least from one button

maiden pasture
livid jay
#

well its phoenix flames and scorch on top of those 3 atm

maiden pasture
#

From that screenshot they lost what. scorch phoenix flames and shifting?

livid jay
#

which both make it nicer to play and more interesting 😄

#

well yea and shifting as cd, didnt count that

maiden pasture
#

Yeah I mean from the design fire sounds horribly boring

#

Just having only 3 rotational buttons is so sad

livid jay
#

we'll see, theres gonna be some stuff added i assume

#

until it comes out

maiden pasture
#

Yeah hope so

lofty depot
#

Lock in

livid jay
#

if its actually only those three you either run out of blasts insta and fireball all the time or they tune blast regeneration in a way that you are constantly in combust and constantly instant casting which could be fun but also sounds boring after 5 minutes of doing it

lofty depot
#

U have ib generation in combust it is t that bad

#

And when u have skb ur casting it in combust probably at under 2ib cuz of timing

maiden pasture
#

Skb has always been cool just only have 3 buttons, only 1 of which has a CD is just shit xd

lofty depot
#

But back to not having instant casts for everything

livid jay
#

i really liked fire since they added all these free instant cast generating things

lofty depot
#

Seeing fire mages just run around for a full tier was insane

livid jay
#

easier to play but more interesting than before

How do you sim yourself to do Soul hunter MM ?

#

I do this but not sure...

lucid olive
#

yeah thats fine

#

if you wanted to go more in-depth you could probably write some raid event codes for when the bosses leap away but that's not worth the time

edgy quarry
#

ok ! And I don't knoz how to do it x)

#

Thanks ! 🙂

lofty depot
#

Ur not going to find a good way. It's not patchwerk either, they're not always stacked. U can use that to see some gear shifts but the number u get from that sim means nothing

stone ocean
#

Am I cooked can I do anything to improve this

lofty depot
#

Probably play ST talents

#

Weapon enchant wrong

#

Weapon kind abeans

stone ocean
#

This is my araz talents

lofty depot
#

Wrong chest enchant too?

#

I think

#

Uh playing grove isn't a Araz thing

#

Play potent

#

Also, stellar amp can be taken off if ur spamming starfall

flint rose
#

Araz is EC?

lofty depot
#

No

inland stump
#

wait, authority of the depths is wrong?

lofty depot
#

Yes

stone ocean
#

Okay so weapon enchant swap to radiant power ?

inland stump
#

fahhh

lofty depot
#

No

stone ocean
#

Why is weapon beans

lofty depot
#

U swap to one of the stat ones

#

Like council guile, or stonebound

#

Cuz it has haste

#

And haste is beans

errant flint
#

I’m in for M araz rekill. It’s already scuffed bc we have too many people that were not in for the kill (like 5 extra people including myself).
I just wanna kill the boss idc about parse but I do want to do the right damage.

Is it worth it to starfall the manifestations (ads)?
Just starsurge my collector when out instead of hitting at least 2-3 and starfalling? I’ll sometimes starfall to slow down so that they can die at the same time.
And save cd’s for damage amp. Anything else for M araz I need to know?

stone ocean
#

So lemme know what I should do brother @lofty depot

lofty depot
#

I did

#

Scroll up

lofty depot
#

U could spam surge if u want on boss

#

I Starfall during collector

#

Depends on ur ability to kill them

#

Yes u save CDs for amp

errant flint
#

Bc ppl die

lofty depot
#

Well stop dying

#

"people die so we can't kill collectors" yea that do be a problem

#

Boss isn't a DPS race, it's a stop dying race

errant flint
#

They want me to starsurge the echo.

lofty depot
#

People trying to minmax their blue parse

lofty depot
#

Echo 2-3 are afk in a corner

errant flint
lofty depot
#

But I don't surge echo, we make everyone pretty much everyone Swap to echo 1

errant flint
lofty depot
#

If people are stupid and die, let's blame the alive people for not killing the colelctors

#

How about we blame the moron dying to minmaxing his blue parae

errant flint

Stop dying to Lazers, kill boss

affixes are fake

errant flint

Like 330

Something like that

#

U can use trees at the very start or right before the collectors

#

Don't use trees in the middle of collectors

#

Must hold

errant flint

Ah ty ty I keep that in mind

Might just slap it into my LR instead

The tylenol doesnt work good for memory

He's a hunter so his brain doesn't work.

errant flint
#

Everything gonna be a two button spec soon

lofty depot
#

People using CA convoke at 140 when they have Araz is them not thinking properly

#

We've been "2button spec" forever

#

So nothing changes

errant flint
#

Just like hunters ❤️

lofty depot
#

That's one button rotation

errant flint
eager raft
lofty depot
#

I know monkeys that play that spec and 90+ prase. I would destroy your lineage in 24 hours. And I don't want to do that to u

errant flint
#

Hunter is that easy. Bc the entire rotation is very forgiving if you mess up.

minor swift
#

How are we liking the changes?!

lofty depot
#

Seems good

errant flint
#

Im happy so far

#

Lots lots more to come so I cant judge the changes too harshly

lofty depot
#

It's alpha, ur sense of what those changes will do or how they work isn't gonna be the same in beta, and won't be the same live

#

Like them changing mastery and eclipse

#

So we take those

nova ocean
#

Unless it's a beta where they don't iterate at all on us till live again 🙂

eager raft
#

Think it would take a bit more than 24 hours

It took until everyone else swapped off moonkin for you do look good on that……..

And he likes to stand in melee and not soak orbs
