🤷

void jacinth
#

Gemini doesnt know wtf u meant either

#

oh you called me clueless

#

and also fat Roger Rabbit

maiden pasture
#

cluegi chungus maxing

pseudo merlin
#

rate beta boomkin on a scale of 1 to 10

lucid olive
#

7

#

actually maybe 6

pseudo merlin
#

why only 6

#

What's the nr1 thing on your wishlist rn

lucid olive
#

a non dogshit pandemic glow

pseudo merlin
#

I just want these fucking pee colored skill swipes to go away

lucid olive
#

press starfall enough in aoe and your sunfire/moonfire will glow for pandemic even at 20 seconds

lucid olive
#

yeah it seems hard coded to just glow at 30% of total duration

#

but base duration doesnt care about the cap to kindling extension

pseudo merlin
#

hahahahahah

lucid olive
#

also if it starts glowing it never stops no matter how much you extend it

#

the duration swipe also has the same issue

exotic perch
#

if only we had an addon that did that correctly

lucid olive
#

like base duration sunfire is 18 seconds so at 9 seconds the swipe should be exactly 50% right

exotic perch
#

and was super easy to create an aura for

pseudo merlin
#

Where you could set triggers and conditionals

lucid olive
#

but if youve pressed starfall a bunch it can be at like 20 second duration but the swipe looks like its 5% duration left

#

cause the total duration in the swipe just kept going up

pseudo merlin
lucid olive
#

like if i just had control of the glows itd be better

#

i know its possible to change glow stuff with some addons but its held together by chewing gum and duct tape

pseudo merlin
#

CMT will add it surely

lucid olive
#

i deleted that addon

pseudo merlin
#

Only CMT doesn't work for half the classes

#

it makes everything spazm out on your screen

lucid olive
#

it just rando changed the order in my primary bar

pseudo merlin
#

It's crazy how customising my wowauras takes 10x more effort than weakauras

lucid olive
#

until i pressed starfire and the eclipse icon changed

#

then it started working

pseudo merlin
#

I couldnt figure out what caused it so I disabled it on affected chars

lucid olive
#

and sometimes i pressed treants and after the duration timer ended it just went to 0 as if it was available

#

had to look down at my bars

pseudo merlin
#

CMT or default?

#

For the treant thing

#

yo wtf is happening here

lucid olive
#

i got that new addon people been spreading

#

just called CooldownManager

#

has a power bar and cast bar in it as well so deleted the other ones i had for that

#

and option to anchor them to different bars

pseudo merlin
#

oh cool ill try that

#

what annoys me most so far is delays

#

like you press your dots on a target and it literally doesn't show up on your tracking frame for like 100ms

lofty depot
pseudo merlin
#

not sure if that's the NA beta server location MS

pseudo merlin
#

thats all I can find

lucid olive
pseudo merlin
#

ah there's a space

#

thx

jade flume
#

man why ur unitframes look so good gamz

lucid olive
#

unhalted

jade flume
#

Never heard of the guy

lucid olive
#

oh well

pseudo merlin
#

im not gonne lie

lucid olive
#

its unhalted unit frames with atrocitymedia texture

pseudo merlin
#

it looks like afenar

lucid olive
#

based

jade flume
#

May the odds be ever in your favour

craggy sonnet
#

where's your masque or whatever to change these horrid default actionbar thingies around your player frame

lucid olive
#

idk i turned masque off

#

lua errored for removing backdrop shit

pseudo merlin
#

Downloading addons to disable shit that we already had disabled but now can't disable in blizzards default UI replacement

#

👌

#

4 years later we still can't hide our primary action bar btw

lucid olive
#

was setting up like separate rows for the icons

#

so i could technically do like a 1,3 setup

#

with Starlord alone in a row and then solar/cosmos/lunar below it

pseudo merlin
#

Yeah I like the rows thing

#

I did like SL > dots > cds

#

I'd prefer moving dots and trackers to above the resource bar and everything else below though

lucid olive
#

yeah i been thinking about doing dots in buff bar but then the ability bar has like 0 icons

pseudo merlin
#

right

#

also the buff bar is kinda weird, default one atleast

#

i want it square

#

the default cast bar is also just the worst

lucid olive
#

yeah need an addon for a cast bar that doesnt suck

lofty depot
#

It's pretty crazy they're just always grouped

pseudo merlin
#

didnt you say Cooldown Manager has one ?

lucid olive
#

yes

pseudo merlin
#

Yeah huge customisation

#

Is the manager one not decent?

lucid olive
#

yeah its the one i use

#

i just logged on live to find whatever the colors were on my weakaura and copied it over

graceful coyote
#

someone here who likes to share his UI ? i want to test a bit dungeons etc.

jade flume
#

@lucid olive is that unitframe addon supposed to work on beta

lucid olive
#

click this and then download zip

#

he put instructions in the github readme thing actually so just follow that

amber temple
#

What enchant should I put on my weapon?, WoWhead suggested AuthOfTheDepths?

jade flume
#

Ok, i was downloading from the curseforge

#

and just realised 11.2 is not midnight actually tettleslul

jade flume
#

i was like, yeah 11.2 that checks out

lofty depot
#

The food/fire buff w.e. thing from raid doesn't work with depths

lucid olive
lofty depot
#

U can sim the differences

#

Don't tell tettles tho

lucid olive
#

when they made the endgame realm they put in restrictions too that addons need to have 120000 in the .toc file or it won't be loaded at all

#

so some addon authors havent updated for it yet

pseudo merlin
#

When I played havoc on release day I thought it wouldnt be possible to create anything more boring to play, but here we go they really went back to their roots with voidman dh

lucid olive
#

TWW havoc fucking bangs

#

midnight havoc as well

pseudo merlin
#

yeah but legion havoc did not

#

it was legit demon bite, chaos blade, parry and eye beam

#

no cdr on eyebeam

#

its over

lofty depot
#

It was too powerful

round field
#

but why does havoc have like

#

20 button opener sequence

lucid olive
#

its fun

#

current fel scarred is a bit dull though

#

but aldrachi reaver m+ is most fun spec i've played in a long time

pseudo merlin
#

yo but if they allow everything to be neatly spaced and like square, why is there 0 customisation for cast bar other than size

#

why does it say what cast it is BELOW the bar

round field
#

why not?

#

can u disable the shit

pseudo merlin
#

Because all the info can be inside of the bar

#

not taking up space

round field
#

gcd indicator

pseudo merlin
#

no

round field
#

wtf

#

why

#

not

pseudo merlin
#

no

#

You can track shadowform, probably also moonkin form, but only in the way that it shows you when it's active and not when it's not

#

😂

lofty depot
pseudo merlin
#

recommend one

lofty depot
#

Dominos

earnest marsh
#

Id say Quartz but its not up to date for beta yet

eager raft
#

addon users

lofty depot
#

Quartz works too

#

Think there another

pseudo merlin
#

leme c

lofty depot
#

Would have to look when I get home

pseudo merlin
#

ok gnosis works

#

we're saved

eager raft
#

oh that’s actually great news I’ve used gnossis forever

pseudo merlin
#

Can't tell if sarcasm

#

But I'm a big gnosis enjoyer

#

nvm sorry I baited

eager raft
#

Nope no sarcasm

#

👎 👎

royal zenith
#

it was sarcasm

#

dont trust him

pseudo merlin
#

I don't

#

But I trust 🦆 less

#

So I trust you

Anyway in other news, I found out that they make rechargeable socks that can heat your feet up to 65 degrees celsius for like 10 hours

jade flume
#

Why not just add burning coals to ur socks

pseudo merlin
#

I use all my coal to make diamonds

spice roost
#

i understand the opener for the current tierset doing 2ca in it but is that only on the initial opener ...or is it worth to that 2x in a fight

spice roost
#

yes to what exactly

eager raft
#

yes it’s worth it to do the 2x ca within the fight

#

Dependant on fight length

spice roost
#

ok

eager raft
#

Like if a fight is gonna be shorter than 4 minutes, you’d hold the convoke you get back at ~2min until your 2nd charge is back

#

If it’s longer than 4 minutes you can do 2x ca+convoke on pull, 1x ca + convoke at 2 minutes, then 2x ca + convoke again around 4 min

lofty depot
#

If you're doing single CA, u can surge surge trees convoke

#

There are fights where its better double CA at like 315 rather than use 1 ca at 2m

lucid olive
#

go into the addon folder and find the gnosis.toc text file

pseudo merlin
#

this'l work for now, dominos is required for bars anyway

#

I just need gnosis for GCD

lucid olive
#

and then whatever number is after "interface" you change to 120000

pseudo merlin
#

idk how people play this game without a GCD indicator, I truely can not

lucid olive
#

addons need to have that in there or they wont load on beta at all

pseudo merlin
#

It's like a metronome to me

lucid olive
#

and then you reload the game and see if the addon shits out lua errors or not

#

and if it does then gg go next

pseudo merlin
#

its not even showing up under beta>interface>addons

lucid olive
#

sus

pseudo merlin
#

maybe relog

#

yeah this is sus

#

😂

eager raft

#

best play to double CA on first platform on Dimmy M?

lucid olive
#

you'll find out whenever you make it to amp if you have CDs for it or not

pseudo merlin
lucid olive
#

thought it was beta

pseudo merlin
#

look at the date

lucid olive
#

oh yeah

#

wrong folder then i guess

pseudo merlin
#

MN beta is on D: for some reason

#

this is C:

eager raft
#

i don’t see how it would be possible to double ca first platform and have it back for amp

lucid olive
#

gg

lucid olive
#

you phase p1 as 4th gravity is coming out

#

then phase 1st platform as the 2nd slam happens

#

then phase p2 with the 2nd winds

#

most people kill 1st platform too early now

eager raft
#

The platforms are a set duration tho and that duration is less than the amount of time it takes for double ca to recharge no?

lucid olive
#

theyre not set durations?

lofty depot
#

P2 2nd winds

eager raft
#

There is a maximum amount of time each platform can last

pseudo merlin
#

anlaky

lucid olive
#

yeah and you'll have double CA if you play out the platforms

lofty depot
#

Just needs to last like 550

copper basalt
#

but seems to be the play in my circumstance

lucid olive
#

if you can send double CA on both its correct

lucid olive
lofty depot
#

Triple double, maybe get 1 at 8

lucid olive
#

which is why they were super good in rwf

copper basalt
#

truly feel like a cheerleader on 2nd platform though

lofty depot
#

Press Starfall more

copper basalt
#

filters out no?

lofty depot
#

It hits all the adds that don't get filtered

eager raft
lofty depot
#

People still hold bud

lucid olive
#

you still have people sending on a 3m schedule

#

for prog its definitely best to send 2 2 2 1

copper basalt
#

i do love holding on p1

eager raft
#

“Guys please stop damage for 2 minutes so my CDs line up with amp”

lofty depot
#

Doing more damage in p3 does make it easier.....

#

News at 7

lucid olive
#

we had people holding their prism stacks until p3 on prog and shit

exotic perch
#

holding dps is good for the game guys

#

didnt you know

lofty depot
#

Yea, bring SL back

#

Big holding damage expac

eager raft
#

I use it once at 1m then hold for p3

lucid olive
#

i sent my 2nd 4pc into the voidwarden on 1st platform

#

cause we stopped dmg on artoshion anyway

lofty depot
#

Did that all prog.... Now void warden dying faster

#

Little rats didn't target void warden all prog now do it

but yeah, you should definitely try to read the guide thoroughly, look back at your log, then try to implement what the guide says, then read it again, look back at your log

no clue if you are spamming sunfire because you are constantly moving?

but idk why you would have to

if you have to move, then either be aware of the fact that you might have to beforehand and bank AP to be able to surge if you are still in eclipse and try to cover the distance faster with wild charge

this has to be ragebait

what

pseudo merlin

Its always the stats

#

Can we just play the game with templates and grind purely for item level

#

Like pvp in bfa

#

Or was it legion(?)

heady mural
#

is there a midnight channel somewhere I just am not seeing?

lucid olive
#

no

heady mural

oh well that's not helpful at all

that would require admins to interact with the discord

and we can't have that

I was tryign to look for starter beta builds becuase I am dumb moonkin and the one I tested was god awful lool

Everyone is messing around with talents and shit.

There's logs u can look at to see what some people are running.

yeah I just had to finhd some

#

thank you

#

Any super geniuses about who can help me out

#

Where those 140m star surges come from

#

Comparing it directly to my log we press almost the same buttons and we both crit but I do not get these

#

Unless it's an aug reattribution bug imagine

lofty depot

Worse gear

lucid olive
#

you are also not cotti

lofty depot
#

One of u has an aug

lucid olive
#

he has more mast and more crit

#

you have haste

livid flicker

they kinda did double your damage before hitting second alignment

u are meeleing the boss

scenic vortex

+120m on each of the casts and it's just gear diff? Damn

meager storm
#

ur buff is getting consumed with melees

WHAT

#

Nah fuck off is that possible

lofty depot
#

Yes

scenic vortex

I know I'm new to the spec but that can't be a thing

lucid olive

yes

It is

Don't I look a fool now

Take ur /startattack our of ur macro

lofty depot
meager storm
lofty depot
#

Really only big problem on nexus king and dimmy

scenic vortex
#

That's a meaty melee holy moly

#

But it doesn't scale with what popped it so it's not actually a loss? Or?

#

It might just look weird on my breakdown?

lofty depot
#

What do u mean it's not a loss

#

U lost ur buff

scenic vortex
#

Idk I don't remember how the tier set works properly but if it's just "your next thingy does +100 damage" I guess I lose the cleave aspect but in st if I'm just doing +100 damage with melee swing vs +100 damage with starsurge ygm

lucid olive
#

the 4pc doesnt do its own independent damage

jade flume
#

u only lose like 200mil dmg per stack

lucid olive
#

it does (Starsurge base dmg + modifiers) x (4pc pooled damage + modifiers)

scenic vortex
#

Ahh cheeky multiplication sign fair play

#

I'll uh

#

Stand further away from the boss

lucid olive
#

or get the weakaura linked in Compendium

scenic vortex
#

Unless I macro stop attack into everything

lucid olive
#

that stops you from auto attacking

scenic vortex
#

Ok I'll do that instead

#

Thank you gang forgive my naivety I'm a young pup

lofty depot
#

Just wait til u find out control of the dream is bugged

scenic vortex
#

I don't know what control of the dream is so I'm still in blissful ignorance

#

My state of knowing how to play this spec is spam wrath and spend

lofty depot

It's a hero talent

scenic vortex
#

I'll learn what my abilities do in a year

lofty depot
#

Should learn before that lol

#

Read the guide, will belp

scenic vortex
lofty depot
#

Doesn't cdr if ur CDs are current long cd-ing when u die

#

Theres also a weakaura for it

#

Also linked in compendium

Or just not die, that works too

Hello guys, I'm not new to WoW but I am looking to switch from Melee DPS to a caster for Midnight and I was wondering if Balance Druid is an easy/beginner caster spec for the upcoming expansion? I'm looking for a class with a simple rotation and little no no management and the two classes that I am interested in are Elemental Shaman and Balance Druid. Can anyone with Beta access let me know if Balance Druid is a good spec for a beginner ranged DPS?

lucid olive
#

Yeah it's fine for a beginner

lucid olive
#

The class and spec identities aren't really changing for Midnight

#

and if you're new to the game those are the things you'll interact with more than intricacies of every spec

#

Oh I didn't see you wrote "not new"

#

my bad

#

yeah moonkin is fine for beginner caster

#

i'd maybe try mage or warlock

eternal shell
# lucid olive I know it's a non-answer but if you're new to WoW in general your best bet is to...

I've been playing on and off for a while but my main issue has been I find some classes a bit too overwheling with various management and maintaining DPS while moving (this was a Melee issue). I heard about the pruning to Midnight but thought I will come back with a fresh experience and try out ranged DPS/casters. I enjoy raiding and Mythic+ but wanted to try a class that "clicked" with me. So was wondering about the state of Moonkin going into Midnight

lofty depot
#

That is a caster issue just as much as a melee issue

#

Maintaining DPS while doing mechanics is the skill of doing good DPS for most specs

lucid olive
#

its about the same as on live

lofty depot
#

Outside of BM hunter

lucid olive
#

but yeha, i'd still just try stuff out and then play the thing you find the most fun

lofty depot
#

But BM hunter isn't really playing the game so

eternal shell
#

As a ranged/caster, is the movement more predictable than Melee? I know you need to pre-move but it seems with Melee you are constantly moving, is this the same with casters as well or is it not as frequent?

lofty depot
#

Uhhh, casters have generally more things to do than melee

scenic vortex
#

Fewer things to dodge usually so fewer instances of movement

lofty depot
#

But u know when mechanics are ecoming

#

We pool astral power then use instant casts for movement

#

Which might be a little easier in midnight with a few more instant globals

lucid olive
jade flume
#

Melee would move more generally

lucid olive
#

but so is melee

lofty depot
jade flume
#

But as long as u can reach the boss it doesnt matter

lucid olive
#

melee is so easy man

jade flume
#

While ranged loses dam

I remember progging Ansurek on evoker in the trenches then I turned around and saw my warlock stood still almost the entire phase payphoning that nonsense

lucid olive
#

EC probably gonna end up being better for m+

lucid olive
#

fucking love scalecommander and perma hover

lofty depot
#

All ranged were moving so

scenic vortex
#

I agree it was a lot of fun, but in terms of movement there was a lot

lofty depot
#

Melee was dodge swirl and boss moves with the swirl drop

#

It's not like that was fun for boomkin

lucid olive
#

it was definitely worse on that fight in evoker range than for others for movement

#

i just followed melee for boss moves

lofty depot
#

Bad timing for eclipse meant u had to wait 5 seconds for waves to go then cast

#

Same problem with dimmy

#

If u have excess mass to get people down can't get into eclipse

lucid olive
#

but you never really had bad timing for eclipse

#

unless you were trolling

lofty depot
#

U could if u were and I quote "in the trenches"

#

I'll assume not very good nah mean

lucid olive
#

idk moonkin was definitely way easier on that fight than evoker

#

and its not particularly close

lofty depot
#

I didn't say it wasnt

#

I said there could be bad timings

lucid olive
#

the timings are static or

I did read that one of the biggest changes for Balance Druid in Midnight was that they are changing Eclipse from a proc to an ability. Does that mean the rotation between live and Midnight for Balance would play pretty much the same?

lofty depot
#

It's not really a proc

scenic vortex
#

I know my warlock was a good gamer who positioned well, but he was stood still almost the entire phase apart from when he had to do his pop while I had to bob and weave around melee & ranged web blades

lofty depot
#

But it's basically the same hes

scenic vortex
#

He outranged most of them

lofty depot
#

Less uptime on eclipse

lucid olive
#

also a lot of later guilds didn't plan boss movements for web blades and made it harder for themselves

scenic vortex
#

Yea maybe we prespread badly so everyone clustered around the middle with nobody far out

lucid olive
#

we had melee and ranged in 2 separate stacks like 40 yards away from each other on the edge/in the middle and then moved together

#

for the web blades

#

but we also did all our p1 prog when there were more web blades

#

and the extra toxin pop

scenic vortex
#

We killed the boss on the reset of the nerf 🙁

#

Thanks for answering my questions guys, I will give Balance Druid a try and see how I get on with it 🙂

#

"it used to be harder meme"

void jacinth
#

Lowkey gamz is saying that it's harder for Peter's guild because they didn't have the countermeasure strats

#

Even tho there were fewer mechanics

#

I pretend to miss my orb when flying on Dimensius so it feels like pre nerf

lofty depot
#

Correct

void jacinth
#

I can simulate RWF prog by not taking orbs

lofty depot
#

Often times people have the guide, the strat, but don't know the why

#

Then it gets lost in translation

Good movie

For sales we have to stop 3 times total with 1 buyer

how did u guys like the beta gaming?

#

tried the talent where ss procs free starfall and vice versa

#

can get some fun chains, bit of a pain with beta latency though

quiet drift
#

#removeeclipses

twin lotus
#

yeah, they feel kinda garbage

pallid bay
#

it wasnt very exciting but nothing really is on beta when you cant dps cause boss has 0 hp and you play on 200ms

maiden pasture
#

the MS is so aids

#

i dont think i will ever raid test just because of the delay

pseudo merlin
#

And that's on top of an unplayable game due to trash tier piss poor excuses of replacement for existing addons

#

🙂

#

The weird thing is that asides from on lust pulls, I didnt really notice any delay lag during raid testing yday

#

bosses seem pretty cool

twin lotus
#

i just had high ms, it was mostly fine. I dont know about the game being garbage. Not having weak auras to have a proper UI had me spending more time looking at my buffs that are all over the place with the garbage cooldown manager. Bosses felt like they had 2-3 mechanics that went on and on and on. Pretty cool visually for the most part. Looking forward to seeing the mythic versions

pseudo merlin
#

Size tuning seems way off, but it's always like that when in 10 man

#

10 man heroic twilight bird healing reqs seemed crazy

#

cant wait to see that fight on mythic

jade flume
#

Its kinda sad

pseudo merlin
#

I'm trying out arms and fury now, and then I'll have tried every spec in the game

twin lotus
#

I miss arcanic pulsar

pseudo merlin
#

So far only shadow priest and unholy DK feel not unplayable dogshit tier to me

jade flume
#

Removing all complexity is not what they should be focusing on

pseudo merlin
#

with shadow priest actually, imo, best design ever

#

feels like the only spec that retained complexity

jade flume
#

Imo its gonna be like bfa

pseudo merlin
#

It's absolutely mind boggling how they made ret worse, when ret was like the literal image of simplicity/THE spec for new players

jade flume
#

They will spend next 2 expansions fixing their own changes

pseudo merlin
#

Yeah probably

jade flume
#

They lobotomized evangelism on disc priest

pseudo merlin
#

Some of the hero talents created such interesting gameplay loops, like totemic for example, and they just removed that

jade flume
#

And when people gave feedback that its trash and sad

pseudo merlin
#

Somehow BM got dumbed down even more, same for MM

jade flume
#

They removed the pet

pseudo merlin
#

two specs that were already in line with what they wanted

pseudo merlin
jade flume
#

Just remove everything, keep 1 button called heal and just spam that

pseudo merlin
#

pulsar enjoyers rise up

jade flume
#

Why even have different spells

pseudo merlin
#

true

jade flume
#

Have all the spells be procs and passives

pseudo merlin
jade flume
#

Im still gonna raid since raid will still be fun

#

But its gonna be raid log expansion more than ever

pseudo merlin
#

I have no doubt the raids are going to be bangers

#

Even from the very limited testing yesterday, fights look good

#

But class fantasy and moment to moment combat is the most important thing to me in mmo games always

#

No amount of good content or playing with friends can outweigh shitty feeling combat for me

quiet drift
#

Hire people, they add shit, eventually fix it fire them

#

hire new person repeat

pseudo merlin
#

I was on board initially too

#

Like some specs could absolutely be toned down a bit, WW was a good example I think

#

But like.... Don't remove 75% of all the things...

#

Maybe like 10%...

#

Devourer exists, BM exists, MM exists, Ret exists

#

People who want simple gameplay already have specs that cater to that

jade flume
#

Yeah same

#

Pruning for some abilities sure

#

And then they make evangelism a fully braindead ability

#

And remove pet from disc so u dont even have any real cooldown anymore

#

They are just cooked idk

#

Are these new players that they want to get into the game like

#

4 year olds or something

pseudo merlin
#

Yeah I'd like to see the market research on this

#

Where are all these players that are so fucking incompetent they can only handle 4 buttons at the same time that have virtually no interaction between them

#

Meanwhile AION 2 came out with 50 button rotations

lofty depot
#

That's why they play wow

#

Also, uhhh if u ever want to do market research go join a guild that's progging like Araz or soulhunters right now

jade flume
#

Prog dn

royal zenith
#

Im very doomer about midnight

#

but who knows

lofty depot
lofty depot
#

And then the camp of addons bad people are like "yea this is good"..... Think ultimately it's good but the nuking of everything all at once is a bit much for people

royal zenith
#

apart from the whole addon fiasco

pseudo merlin
#

Araz proggers probably have two raid times, 1 time 1 hour earlier so everyone can get help turning on their PC

royal zenith
#

it just looks very bad

#

quality wise

#

all of it

pseudo merlin
#

yes

lofty depot
#

And their replacements for it aren't what we had obviously so it's hard for the adjustment

pseudo merlin
#

Again though, the raid yesterday looked pretty good imo

royal zenith
#

only housing looks proper

pseudo merlin
#

but I guess I didnt see much of it

#

I havent touched housing

royal zenith
#

I honestly don't care too much about the whole ui/addon shit

#

as long as the game is fun

pseudo merlin
#

Yeah I care because the game is not fun

#

It's something on top of everything else being bad

royal zenith
pseudo merlin
#

If everything else was good I could live with shit addon functionality for a while

#

Till they eventually fixed it a year later

lofty depot
royal zenith
#

can't say too much until mythic has been tested but yea

lofty depot
#

I lean en

pseudo merlin
#

doing a dungeon like this IS NOT it

royal zenith
#

we'll see, trying very hard to not be too doomer

#

else even Oi will call me a doomer

pseudo merlin
#

who?

royal zenith
#

smh...

#

lofty depot
#

Tettles being controversial cuz he's not doomer

royal zenith
#

ye

#

out of the ordinary

pseudo merlin
#

How the hell did he put things below and above his resource bar

#

That's some crazy tech

lofty depot
#

An addon

royal zenith
#

there's plenty of addons

pseudo merlin
#

I've tried CM and CMT

royal zenith
#

many WA people working on their own versions

#

tarithal, oi, quazi etc.

lofty depot
#

Lol I couldn't tell u which one cuz all of them are funny named

pseudo merlin
#

real

royal zenith
lofty depot
#

Delete 3 addons to download 500

#

Locken

royal zenith
#

think tettles was also testing a version for the nameplates

#

or it was the same

pseudo merlin
#

It's actually quite funny how I've never spent this much time working on my UI and downloading external addons to do so

#

The irony

#

So happy we're no longer gatekeeping casuals

lofty depot
#

Think the gatekeep is even worse

#

Cuz u'll still have to do some manual things with icons and settings

#

Rather than just copy a weakaura and it's fine

pseudo merlin
#

Yes that's the point I'm making

#

It's literally way way way way more effort than ever before

#

😂

#

All you had to do before was download WA, browse wago for something pretty, import

royal zenith
#

I don't think that's entirely true

#

cause if you'd wipe all your addons right now and have to redl everthing you have

#

you'd be in the same situation

pseudo merlin
#

Nah, I'm talking about making my spec playable

#

Not the million weakauras we had for other purposes

royal zenith
#

what do you need for ret paladin...

#

apart from holy power tracker...

pseudo merlin
#

classism?? stop?

#

😠

royal zenith
pseudo merlin
#

The funny thing is

#

They removed CSAA so you dont need to track a swing timer anymore

#

But now they added it back in and there's no swing timer tracker

#

So now you just "randomly" get holy power but you dont know when unless you're counting in your head or watching your chars melee swing

#

And ofcourse a lot of resource gains and dot applications are tracked by the default UI with a small delay

#

which, why is there a delay?!?

royal zenith
#

hmm

#

makes you wonder if they will adjust the UI to make you able to track this

#

or to just remove the ability/proc completely

pseudo merlin
#

It'd be something else if they just don't allow you to track it

#

Atleast you can still track swing timers with something like Gnosis

#

(the new CSAA is every swing rather than every other)

royal zenith
#

I dunno if they are at the level of tracking swing timers :' )

pseudo merlin

#

That was a huge dub

sudden flame
jade flume
#

Tbh i dont care about addon changes too much. Its definitely gonna suck for a while but i think they will make them decent eventually

#

But their class design philisophy is literally the opposite of what i want

#

So i cant imagine them making good changes unless they change what they actually want to accomplish

lofty depot
#

Depends what u/they think they want to accomplish

royal zenith
#

Poor firedup

lofty depot
#

If u think their main point was to just limit info

royal zenith
#

Rwf will truly be a race of resources

lofty depot
#

Feels like the easiest example is what the DPS meter is vs what we had or have had previously

jade flume
lofty depot
#

So now u just have to go look at a log to find the info you want rather than having it decently in game

jade flume
#

Definitely accomplishing that with disc priest at least

lofty depot
#

Feels kinda weird

lofty depot
jade flume
#

I legit think thats gonna happen ye

#

Maybe 3 spells per spec isnt enough and they will start adding some stuff

eager raft
#

Guys can you please tell deux I say hey

lofty depot
#

Also, Idk enough about all the other classes to say like they nuked all the conplexity

jade flume
#

Ye i mean, i dont know all specs either

#

But the few i do know got neutered

lofty depot
#

Like fire..... They deleted pf and scorch but it's still just the same play style it's not like it's crazy cuz 1 more button

eager raft
#

isn’t fire just full on fireball spam

#

Or frostfire bolt ig

jade flume
#

Yeah but having more buttons does make it more complex, its easier to fuck up 2 button rotation than 1

lofty depot
#

Depends what u play but essentially

jade flume
#

Scorch made sense to be there, used in combustion and execute

lofty depot
#

But I thought fire with the amount of instant casts was insane anyway

jade flume
#

And on disc priest they removed evangelism extend and just made it radiance spam instead

#

And also removed all your cds to make ur evang ramp strong

#

So now it feels like u never have a strong ramp that feels impactful

#

Because putting atonements on 20 people is too complex for 4 year olds

pseudo merlin
#

and unholy is probably just my bad opinion

sudden flame
#

did frost even get changes their spec was already like pre made for midnight

lucid olive
#

yeah frost got reworked before season 3 so afaik it's pretty much the same

Please help. Is there a way to track the DoT on a target without looking for a debuff on the target's plate? I was told you can use the cooldown manager to track how long the DoT will be on the target. Or is there a different way to track this? For example, the duration of the DoT on the button. Is this possible in midnight?

lucid olive
#

Cooldown manager can do it in Midnight yes

#

its not a great solution though as Blizzard doesn't know how to properly show glows for pandemic conditions but its fine just for duration

pseudo merlin

For first boss in arrakoa what's a good overall strategy for balance. I am doing OK and perhaps it's not on me but I will nuke boss then swap over and root and start nuking spiders. Starting to do higher keys and while I am doing my best to nuke all the adds sometimes the tank seems to run them near the boss or other don't seem to focus them.

We do want to kill them ASAP while avoiding all the stuff on the ground right?

lofty depot
#

but if ur not swapping to them right away, u should

lucid olive
#

The spiders fixate on the other players so if it paths into the boss hitbox it's on you

pseudo merlin
#

all my cd manager (default) settings getting deleted when I make a talent change is peak

#

👌

#

pressing "save" also deletes all settings

eager raft
#

there’s a little dropdown for ur presets at the bottom of the advanced cdm settings window

#

Maybe its saved in there

pseudo merlin
#

nah

#

You just spend 30 minutes setting everything up in edit mode, hit save, and its all gone

#

then repeat, make 1 talent change, and again it's gone

#

You just can't do it with cd manager

Ngl i've been so busy trying to make this shit work I completely forgot you can still just utilise regular bars with buttons as a budget replacement for some WA elements

lofty depot
pseudo merlin
#

oh yeah Oi

#

WAIT is that's the origin story of sune's name

eager raft
# pseudo merlin im not even using cdm

Those icons sure look like they’re from cooldown manager. Also you can track starweaver on the buff bar instead rather than having those icons there perma

pseudo merlin
#

ya but that's annoying

#

CDM is an addon

#

im not using it

eager raft
#

cooldown manager is an ingame tool brother

#

You have it enabled!

pseudo merlin
#

its an addon

#

im not using it

eager raft
#

Open settings > gameplay enhancements > cooldown manager

pseudo merlin
#

The distinction between CDM and cooldown manager is being made deliberately

#

I'm not using CDM

eager raft
#

What

pseudo merlin
#

they should probably come up with a different name

eager raft
#

The addon isnt even relevant to anything I’m saying you’re just splitting hairs

#

They changed the name on Curse

pseudo merlin
#

No you said cdm, I obviously thought you meant the addon

eager raft
#

It’s called nephui now or something

pseudo merlin
#

The only way to track that buff is with the default cooldown managert

#

so saying cdm like you did, would be redundant

#

so it's more logical to assume you meant something else

eager raft
#

C ool
D own
M anager

pseudo merlin
lucid olive
#

yeah people started using it so the author changed the name to advertise himself

eager raft
#

As they should! They did a good job with the addon

lucid olive
#

i wont be hyped until they give me a way to change the glows

eager raft
#

Now I just hope blizzard steals it and implements it into the base game

#

the yellow glow on top of icons

lucid olive
#

and the pandemic glow

#

both are shit

eager raft
#

And the stupid red border for pandemic are awful

#

yep terrible

lucid olive
#

and its not only that it looks like shit

#

if you use the nephui addon or w/e to change the icon size in the cooldown manager

#

the borders and glows won't change with it

eager raft
#

Oh that’s brutal

lucid olive
#

had this happen because of it

#

see the numbers and the borders are obscenely large

#

honestly dont see any reason why dot duration should be secret value

eager raft
#

Are the barkskin, decurse, innervate and soothe icons just action bars?

lucid olive
#

anything that has to do with the cooldown manager should be fully available to your character

eager raft
#

I need to do something like that

#

I wish they’d let you add trinkets to cooldown manager

lucid olive
#

yeah

eager raft
#

But I’ll just put an action bar with the trinket on it above my player frame

lucid olive
#

i'm just trying to set up a UI that looks like what i have on live

#

and the only thing missing are the ability glows

#

i know you can have different glows if you just scrap the cooldown manager and use domino action bars with a bunch of custom code

#

but its all held together by gum and string

stone ledge
#

Gum and string is generous

lucid olive
#

like one of my guildies made this UI on beta
