Sune is in the trenches

lucid olive
#

lower AP gen is probably also increasing haste value a bit

#

which is needed

royal zenith
#

and covered in blood

zinc heron
#

I do wonder what will be the split of mastery/haste/crit

royal zenith
#

always big chunk of mastery

zinc heron
#

Mastery being universal now

royal zenith
#

the rest kinda w.e.

lofty depot
#

Haste kinda weird with how much we have currently

zinc heron
#

Haste always a problem to evaluate

lofty depot
#

Assume sim will find a threshold for Crit

royal zenith
#

not really a problem, as long as you can do big damage in cd's and plant for a bit

zinc heron
#

Crit is also sometimes you don’t care and sometimes it’s rn so whatever but still

royal zenith
#

we're not a melee spec

#

the more important haste becomes, the more of an uptime spec you become

#

unless cd's scale with haste like they did with ravenous

#

but yeah convoke

lofty depot
#

If we play incarn over convoke

#

But whirling gives more haste now

#

So idk.... See how it goes

royal zenith
#

ye

lofty depot
#

Or potent?

royal zenith
#

I should probably log in at some point

lofty depot
#

I cant remember

rich jewel
#

Agi wep sandbag is dedication

royal zenith
#

and get a feel for the class

lofty depot
#

Potent* gives whirling haste

royal zenith
#

I saw the bosses... they're not THAT bad actually

#

so maybe there's hope

royal zenith
lofty depot
lofty depot
#

I pray we do giga add damage now

royal zenith
#

yeah

#

as long as you're relevant

#

at least the council boss is a more important boss

#

yippeh

round field
#

Just tune balance to be st spec

#

Hit boss

lofty depot
#

They did that

royal zenith
#

bosses have a lot of important adds that need to die

lofty depot
#

Resto was a better mark bring

royal zenith
#

so if it's similar to this tier

#

it's joever as fuck

lofty depot
#

Feral and balance were doing good damage to dimmy. Problem being boss damage wasn't the problem

lucid olive
royal zenith
#

actually funny

#

ngl

#

LMAO

round field
#

Just make raid 8 st bosses

#

Shrimple

lucid olive
#

you can mass dispel the bubble but yeah its really funny

lofty depot
#

Bring back coven

#

Need mass root doer

#

Big gamer shit

lucid olive
#

honestly just good mechanic having them use bubble

royal zenith
#

there's also quite a lot of spread cleave from what I saw but

#

there will probably be something to do about that

#

and meatgrinder melees come in

Brought to raid for not only ur buff, but your utility

round field
#

"boss goes immune when you press lust" sounds like the biggest pile of dogshit ever

royal zenith
#

dont need to dot anymore

#

spam starfire

lucid olive
#

i think it's definitely cool for the boss that is 3 paladins using bubble for something like that

royal zenith
#

err

#

starfall

lucid olive
#

need to dot cause shooting stars big dam

royal zenith
#

we'll have decision making?! do we dot... or not....

#

what's the amount of seconds....

#

gamz.......

lofty depot
#

Do u have weaver/cosmos proc?

#

Do u have eclipse

royal zenith
#

surely dots are like

#

bottom prio list

#

or how strong are they relatively atm

lofty depot
#

Good button to use while moving surely

royal zenith
#

shooting stars etc. kinda fucks it up

#

In my head that is

lofty depot
#

We have many instant casts now, so dots even worse kek

royal zenith
#

need to maff it out

lofty depot
#

Can't wait to see people press eclipse and then build a house between their next global

#

Not knowing the global is like half the normal one

royal zenith
#

💀

#

"I probably need more haste"

eager raft
#

It should not even be a gcd imo

#

Shorter gcd is better than normal gcd but still feels a bit clunky to me

lucid olive
#

when its been a 0.5s GCD since alpha

Same annoyance when ca was a global

@pseudo merlin man i forgot that Ezra Miller is in Californication

#

good shot

lucid olive
#

yeah I started rewatching a few weeks ago, on season 2

#

think it's the best season though

#

the Lew Ashby character is peak

pseudo merlin
#

WHAT

#

His character is also just an obnoxious c word that americans hate f or some reason but the rest of the english speaking world thinks is normal and non offensive

im sorry this is a stupid question. but i saw a tauren moonkin in a raid and he had the tauren heritage armor totem on his back while he was in moonkin form. I am a night elf and I cant get any back transmog pieces to show while im in moonkin form. Does it only work for heritage armor back pieces?

For example, all these back pieces won't show (see image)
Thank you 🙂

onyx tangle
#

Sounds like a bug

#

He shouldn't have had the tauren backpiece showing in moonkin form

wispy panther
#

damn, i really want to be able to see the back piece in moonkin form

eager raft
wispy panther
#

oh shit

#

its a weapon tmog

summer turtle
#

Is Midnight Balance fun now, unlike apparently I hear Feral?

sudden pawn
#

fun is subjective

#

i think its aight personally

lofty depot
ebon void
#

so do the changes to potent enchantments and whirling stars actually make lining up our cooldowns less of a headache like they said?

lofty depot
#

The problem wasn't whirling

#

The problem is people want to ook ook press button because it's up

#

But depending on if we play early spring vs bloom

#

It might just be 45/1m anyway

ebon void
#

my gut reaction is it wouldn't help without doing something about the CD banking talent in kotg whatever it's called

lofty depot
#

Control

ebon void
#

that's what made you have to do math if my understanding is right

#

yea that one

cloud citrus
#

They should of removed control, as much as i like it. it breaks too much and causes so much troubles in the rotation

lofty depot
#

Imagine they don't fix the bug

cloud citrus
#

im almost entirely sure they dont know how to fix it at this point

#

like theyve tried 2 or 3 times to fix it and it still just breaks randomly

lucid olive
#

I think it's fixed

#

If you have any concrete proof from the beta that Control is still bugged then send it to me and I can pass it along

#

I looked through my raid testing vod from last night and didn't see any pull where treants/ca/convoke gave incorrect timers on pull

zinc heron
#

Control should go and just make FoN 30s and problem solved

#

Granted what cds should be lined up though

lofty depot
#

Oops

zinc heron
#

Aligment/incarn can be 180s or 120s and the charges make it effy, convoke is 120s or 60s, FoN is 60s or 45s (EC can play without it), eclipse is 30s charges make it effy

#

There’s no other cd really

lofty depot
#

Convoke 1m hates all of this

zinc heron
#

I guess fury but whatever

#

Convoke should be on class tree

#

I do feel like control should go, FoN be base 45s and cds play on the 60s or 120s windows

exotic perch
#

30 sec trees and 1/2 min convoke with 2 min ca is fine

eager raft
#

What if they added a talent where after spending a set amount of astral power, like maybe 600, you get ca/incarn for 12 seconds or so

exotic perch
#

that sounds sick i wonder if they thought of that

eager raft
#

Could be a cool idea!

lofty depot
#

How about we make it random chance when u press eclipse

#

Because kek

craggy sonnet
#

Control is not really a problem as long as it works.
Early spring makes no sense now tho.
And 1min voke is a bit awkward cause you gotta pair it with eclipse (surely gamba into total proc) inevitably

zinc heron
#

Thing is what control does should be just base so ppl don’t have to do math and be confused

#

Sure ppl that have played a lot are used to it but new players to the spec is wtf

#

As for Convoke you are always using it while having at least 1 eclipse up anyway

#

It might not be maximum power if you don’t have both eclipses up but it isn’t bad

#

FoN at either 60s or 30s lines up with it all, at 45 it’s weird

#

Control fixes that sure but it shouldn’t be something that needs fixing

craggy sonnet
zinc heron
#

Now in midnight 60s FoN, 60s convoke and incarn all align

#

Without control

craggy sonnet
#

It is all just weird tho.
Why is base CA 3mins still?
Keeping early springs they should at least give us a full kit of 45/90 stuff.
Why do we have to invest a talent to make eclipse 30s? What the heck is 32s base CD.. like??

zinc heron
#

lol

craggy sonnet
zinc heron
#

I guess but still it’s effy

craggy sonnet
#

No it's not an issue at all

#

If the base CDs align

#

It is only a +

zinc heron
#

15s delay isn’t worth the cds not aligning nightmare

craggy sonnet
#

If you ever not press your trees on cd without control, you immediately have to delay your ca / convoke as well

distant spear
#

@peak citrus

zinc heron
#

In PvP it’s weird as hell and in PvE ppl still rather have aligning cds

craggy sonnet
quiet drift
#

1min trees you lose another tree cast in BL

craggy sonnet
#

It's only 12% amp tho

zinc heron
quiet drift
#

1min trees is only 16%

zinc heron
#

12

#

Err 16 yeah

#

45s is 12%

#

But then you do get a 4th FoN in by the time you get the 3rd idk

craggy sonnet
#

It's decent qol

zinc heron
#

Oh for sure it’s decent QoL

#

It’s just weird that it’s there

craggy sonnet
#

Don't think so

craggy sonnet
zinc heron
#

I guess control can make it line up lol

#

It’s funny how EC don’t have to deal with the cds thing

craggy sonnet
#

No

quiet drift
#

cuz you have charges

zinc heron
#

You can line them up but it has to only affect FoN kinda or you have to do crazy math with the charges

quiet drift
#

but ye not really thought through

craggy sonnet
#

That's the thing

#

You will always have to hold stuff

#

Have u guys see the changes on balance in the next expansion?

Are guys hoping for a better change ?

zinc heron
#

I think it depends on what content you play

#

But overall I do think balance Druid mains are kinda just happy eclipse changed and if that makes was the only change it would’ve been fine

#

Rest is nitpick here and there, some hopes and dreams also lol

lucid olive

zinc heron

#

Can u guys elaborate further on the changes I was wondering if I should give balance a try

I am just glad that the mastery is changing again because I dont like playing around dots (Was too much set up for doing damage and that was annoying)

lucid olive
#

Eclipse is a button now and not a passive

#

that's the only other relevant change other than tuning and talent placements

brazen badge
#

Will Convoke cast eclipse now ?

lucid olive
#

no

nimble tangle
#

I do like 1 minute charging CD incarn

#

The best change

craggy sonnet
#

the what now?

zinc heron
#

The hero talent stuff I hope more to come still

#

Just put denizens in KotG already lol

#

And figure out how to make moons work on EC

#

For PvP really is just all that but also EC really needs Elune grace talent to be a shield somehow for gods sakes

nova ocean
lofty depot
#

blud smoking some zaza

nova ocean
#

It's reduced 60 seconds u read it as it is 60 seconds

#

It should be 60 though cause ca whirling is pretty shit on its own

lofty depot
#

meh.... if it was 2m and whirling made it 1m sure

zinc heron
#

It’s 120s now

lofty depot
#

OS needs to do more dam

nova ocean
#

Whirling shouldn't make the duration shorter if they want it to be a 2min cd

lofty depot
#

well i dont

zinc heron
#

Whirling is fine really, OS is just meh

lofty depot
#

2m yuckyyyyyyyyyyyyy

#

1m gang

nova ocean
#

2min cd that lasts as long as me in bed is a shit button it barely does anything also like me in bed

lofty depot
#

what if u could extend the buff

nova ocean
#

U mean based of ap spent

lofty depot
#

frost mage nighthold KreyGasm bring me back

nova ocean
#

Like a talent we used to have

zinc heron
#

Well we do have 54s of straight up eclipse uptime at the start of the fight

nova ocean
#

Which is my point

#

We have two buttons with two charges that essentially give us eclipse

#

Why

#

Make ca do something

lofty depot
#

ca gives haste

zinc heron
#

Yes it’s true then again after playing it the problem is OS not doing enough to even try it

lofty depot
#

take that silly

#

well we played it in s1 til whirling became a thing

nova ocean
#

Ya barely any haste that's a shit CD look at other spec CDs that do stuff

lofty depot
#

10% haste is more than u use currently

#

u double ur haste when pressing ca

#

thats big pog

zinc heron
#

I do feel like EC is the hero talent that could get incarn cd reducer

nova ocean
#

Os reduces ca by 60 seconds and does shit when u press it and doesn't reduce the duration of ca

#

Whirling makes no sense now u literally taking it to get one extra charge

craggy sonnet
nova ocean
#

O did they remove that part?

craggy sonnet
#

yes

nova ocean
#

That makes more sense then

#

But still don't think a extra charge makes much sense as a choice node with os

craggy sonnet
#

because OS is so bad

#

true

#

really makes no sense

nova ocean
#

They are both bad

zinc heron
#

Yes it’s just 1 more charge

#

And duration lowered to 12s

#

Instead of 1 incarn of 20s it’s 2 of 24

craggy sonnet
#

read

#

thank you

zinc heron
#

Double proc of stuff

#

At least that’s what it was doing in the beta

#

Oh WS now don’t reduce duration derp OS 4ever dead

OH SHIT

I MISTOOK IT AS 2 MIN CD

yessem

zinc heron

Not stinky if you showered the night before mate

zinc heron

You still sweat while you sleep lol

maiden pasture
#

So you sleep all stinky after sweating all day?

zinc heron
#

Shower before going to sleep and after waking up

#

Shower like 4 times a day lol

lofty depot
#

meanwhile people gotta walk to find water

maiden pasture
#

Showering 4x a day is just greedy

zinc heron
#

Btw trying to come up with an idea for an usable Orbital strike has been the hardest thing in a while lol

lofty depot
#

make it do more damage

meager storm
#

make stellar flare procs shooting stars

#

there u go

#

fixed

lofty depot
#

i also said that before aswell

meager storm
#

but with the whirling nerf it may see some play on high keys lowkey

lofty depot

highkey lowkey

pallid bay

OS is useable

#

Just not very good

maiden pasture
pallid bay
#

The talent also kinda dosnt make sense

meager storm
#

stellar flare was removed

#

we only got flare when u OS

#

so

#

just make it proc shooting stars

pallid bay
#

Damage on use paired with a 24s mediocre dot

meager storm
pallid bay
#

Instead of just more cd

meager storm
#

well a big 2 min cd is good, the issue is its not big LO

zinc heron
#

Thing is it has to compete with 1 full eclipse charge which is impossible

#

Since 1 eclipse charge is so much output

pseudo merlin
#

that's like 3 miles uphill

meager storm
#

i guess u havent played since whirling was introduced

#

it ruduces the cd to 100s

#

now only reduces by 60s

zinc heron
#

I mean yes it’s a bit of a nerf but it’s still better since it no longer reduces duration

#

Still way better than OS

#

Eclipse charge procs bolts + extra 20s of buffs it’s just too much for OS to overcome

meager storm
#

bolts dont do as much as u think

zinc heron
#

I wonder if making OS a capstone (replacing denizens, put denizens in KotG already for gods sakes) as a a 45s or 90s CD would be best but idk what it should do

zinc heron
#

Coupled with +10% haste lol

meager storm
#

OS saw play when pulsar was a thing, it will be niche but it can see play again

zinc heron
#

It’s just too much to overcome

#

1 eclipse charge is insane to compete with

lucid olive
#

I miss 3 min cd

meager storm
#

i miss 60% uptime on CA

jade flume
#

on god im gonna shower more than once a day

round field
#

do u like

#

roll in the mud

#

to have the need to shower multiple times per day

jade flume
#

No, i just like to do it

lofty depot
#

Showering waste my time

maiden pasture
#

2 a day is valid

lofty depot
#

5min shower

maiden pasture
#

lofty depot
#

zinc heron
lofty depot
#

What do u mean waking up and then before work what

maiden pasture
#

legit

#

what are u doing between wwaking up and going to work

#

that u need to shower again

lofty depot
#

I wake up and go to work

maiden pasture
#

if u go gym its valid but u dont need to shower to go to the gym if you showered right before sleeping

lucid olive
#

They should make OS a 90s CD and CA be 2 min baseline

zinc heron
delicate perch
#

Do you wake up and go to work 12 hours later

#

Once a day is insane but twice before going to work sounds like ocd

zinc heron
#

Wake up and usually go to work 4-5 hours later, guess I just got used to shower that many times a day

lofty depot
#

i wake up at 645 and drive to work

zinc heron
#

Helps my wife likes to bathe a lot also lol

lofty depot
#

i mean that implies u work at like 9

#

and wake up at 4 or 5

zinc heron
#

Today for example I work from 2pm till 12 am

#

Woke up at 8am

#

Once when I woke up, another b4 I left at like 12:30, another when getting home

#

Today is probably 3 depending on how late I go to bed

craggy sonnet
exotic perch
#

nah it should be reversed

zinc heron
exotic perch
#

OS should be the 2 charge ability

#

and the other option revisit the incarn of old where its a mega cd

#

OS as a concept is perfect for dungeons

#

multiple charges slam into a pack to put dots up

lucid olive
#

give it the elemental shaman ascendance choice

#

3 min omega CD or a 2 min semi CD

exotic perch
#

that is what the incarn option should be with convoke

lucid olive
#

yeah

exotic perch
#

you choose CA or 2 charges of OS

lucid olive
#

i think reworking EG would be the better choice there

exotic perch
#

then at the bottom its 3min incarn or 2min convoke

#

and the cds all pair up that way

lucid olive
#

honestly EG should be "convoke casts more spells + higher chance of Full Moon" vs "duration of Incarn is increased by 3 sec per 80 AP spent"

exotic perch
#

the idea of OS just shotting laser beam doing dam and dotting things is sick for dungeons or if in raid a bunch of adds spawn

#

yea or if they dont like the extendo on incarn

#

make it like venthyr

#

just more casts inside gives haste or something

lucid olive
#

streaking stars

zinc heron
#

OS be 90s cd while WS be 2 min with 2 charges is probably the most simple way of doing it

with starcaller do u only hit starfall on st when u geta proc or do u try to force a starsurge proc

#

on beta

lofty depot
#

well normally its you press surge and then get free starfalls cuz surge does more damage on st generally

#

in beta thats not the case

#

starfall with all the talents and other shit is doing a lot of damage

#

they will likely nerf starfall or some of the talents around it

do u think they buff other stuff if they do that to compensate

@round fieldthoughts on this

that suger turns into fat

Hey, i don't make the rules

Lol

plucky valley

It’s spelled sugar

I think the point was that it gets converted and stored as fat ultimately

Unlucky. Tier list season started and petko gave us horrible to play+bad tuning. Guess we are fucked, wcyd. Surely a very valid opinion

Idc i dont look his vids hahaha "alpha first day tierlist for dumbass monkas" 😂

horrible to play sounds pretty accurate at least

ya i mean it does feel correct in that way

on araz mythic, it is barely worth to swap to aoe talents with current gear, or?

lucid olive

Are you reclearing

supple pine
lucid olive
#

Just go to a wheel spinner website and have it choose your talents it literally doesn't matter

exotic perch
#

i played ST last time and starfalled when some adds came out that was about it

#

just do 1b dmg on the burn and you are good

nimble tangle
#

What tier did peettko give to boomie?

#

I remember he put boomie high

lofty depot
#

who cares

spice roost
#

@nimble tangle incase u didnt scroll 10 lines up

#

lolol

#

complete clickbait tho atleast about tuning idk tthe play part is purely subjective to him

lofty depot
#

i have to watch content i dont care about to keep frogs in check

#

his "bad tuning" part is cuz starfall is pressed on st

#

complains about capstones not being taken when we only took 1/3 the whole expansion

#

and now we might take 2/5

#

but u misrepresent his "bad tuning" because u click baited

#

congratz

spice roost
#

did u really expect a valid reasoning for his claims

lofty depot
#

starfalling on st is a valid reason

spice roost
#

i mean the rest

#

bad tuning ect

lofty depot
#

thats all he said

royal zenith
#

yeah, max's tierlists are way better

lofty depot
#

trueeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

spice roost
#

lol all tierlists are jsut stupid imo

royal zenith
#

it's just content

spice roost
#

especially beta

royal zenith
#

it's not that deep

exotic perch
#

JUST PLAY WHAT YOU ENJOY

lofty depot
#

yea thankfully peopel talk about them

spice roost
#

ya hes just farming money off people

royal zenith
#

reading takes in here is probably worse than a simple youtube tierlist

#

who cares

lofty depot
#

thankfully "all tierlists are bad" but let me have an opinion about htem

#

🔫

royal zenith
spice roost
#

in the end hes winning with making money tbh and people watching his lists are the suckers

#

so w for him

lofty depot
#

yea i got suckered by morons in dreamgrove

#

locked in

spice roost
#

^

lucid olive
#

if it's used for the bottom part of the tree that is locked behind the 20 point gate it's fine

#

but the bottom row of talents isnt worth more than other talents in that gate

craggy sonnet
#

they are / used to be tho across specs

lucid olive
#

not really no

craggy sonnet
#

you have to invest additional points to unlock pathing to them

#

well, they are usually meant to be more interesting effects / new abilities / gameplay-defining or altering

lucid olive
#

is that "usually meant" communicated by devs or made up by the community

craggy sonnet
#

it is objectively the case if you look around

lucid olive
#

its not though

#

the bottom row of moonkin talents don't matter when the row above has FoE/NM/Incarn/Convoke that are the key choices

craggy sonnet
#

yes okay

spice roost
#

i think he means other specs

lucid olive
#

yeah but its also the case for other specs

craggy sonnet
#

obv if its a followup node

spice roost
#

not jsut moonkin maybe

lucid olive
#

the bottom row isn't meant to be some giga powerful effect

craggy sonnet
#

then they are to be viewed in tandem

lucid olive
#

there isn't a set rule

#

it all just depends what the designer decided to do when making it

craggy sonnet
#

convoke/incarn + eg are basically just a 2 rank capstone

lucid olive
#

some of them probably have good nodes at the bottom row, and others use that row as extra effects to enhance the thing pathing into it

craggy sonnet
#

yes

lucid olive
#

this is a capstone

craggy sonnet
#

but still the tandem nodes have the same concept

lucid olive
#

my point is that the concept of "capstones should always be taken" is just made up cause people have their own ideas on how the bottom row is supposed to be when evidence suggests that it all just doesn't fucking matter

royal zenith
#

it wouldn't make sense in a game like wow, to give your strongest abilities last

craggy sonnet
#

obv there are devs that do things just as awkward as putting umbral embrace down there

royal zenith
#

else you won't be using CA till your max level

lucid olive
#

Lunar Inspiration is a capstone talent

#

🤯

royal zenith
#

well that's what capstone implies

#

who cares what a person says

lucid olive
royal zenith
#

the whole tree is built around leveling either way

lucid olive
#

who cares if denizens is a capstone

#

when you path through incarn/convoke to get it

royal zenith
#

we usually just look at it from a endgame pov

craggy sonnet
lucid olive
#

i can agree that having fun nodes locked behind the 20 point gate is good

#

but the very bottom row it doesn't matter

craggy sonnet
#

denizens is useless fluff

lucid olive
#

you say "usually meant to be" like there is a set rule for it

craggy sonnet
#

with idk 5% swings pull by pull

lucid olive
#

and not just your headcanon of what spec design should be

craggy sonnet
#

there are surely internal guidelines

#

but wcyd if there is just 1 dev doing whatever they want

exotic perch
#

but they dont

#

like every eclipse one procs or something

craggy sonnet
#

fun and interactive

lucid olive
#

the devs care much more about the tree making sense when you're leveling

#

in how power is given gradually when gaining levels

craggy sonnet
#

is that your headcanon?

exotic perch
#

its pretty consistent with all specs when leveling

#

major cds are dead center of the trees

lucid olive
exotic perch
#

beginning is the rotational abilities

lucid olive
#

during DF beta and times after in interviews about new talent trees

exotic perch
#

wow is an rpg game so it tracks

craggy sonnet
#

in the end it doesnt matter for the performance of a spec what points you pick for the best build

#

doesnt mean its well designed tho

exotic perch
#

that is the nature of talent trees

#

and was the main issue with moving from shadowlands to DF

#

with more options means more cookie cutter

royal zenith
#

it's been bad, is it bad and it will be bad

#

cause you will always focus on what is not working

#

versus what is working

exotic perch
#

there was more variation honestly with the old trees

#

since you only had to balance 3 choices against each other

lucid olive
#

old trees also came with like

spice roost
#

there was also no pathing much in old trees

lucid olive
#

azerite power, essences, legion legendaries, covenant abilities and soulbinds etc

royal zenith
#

spy is talking about the 3 choices per line

lucid olive
#

that definitely added to the variation

craggy sonnet
#

who cares, there aint more relevant choices to make now than back then

royal zenith
#

not the old old talent trees

tardy hare
#

Anyone know how can I see where my pets are dying? From logs

exotic perch
#

ye gamz is right though there was more systems to give variation besides that

exotic perch
lucid olive
#

the DF talent trees were meant to take the variation in all the borrowed power systems and somewhat bake them into your tree

royal zenith
#

now you get apex talents within a hero talent tree, within a spec tree, within a class tree

#

🤯

lucid olive
exotic perch
#

yep

#

like hero talents could have been integrated into the existing tree

#

and it would have more variation

craggy sonnet
#

technically new trees mean that people are able to just cook their own builds (if they dont care about cookie cutter stuff) and there is probably more variation there. but likely equally as many people just feel overwhelmed with the sheer number of abilities to pick from, evaluate and put together synergies

lucid olive
#

i said it before TWW that hero trees should just be cosmetic visual effect changers

exotic perch
#

there is barely anything to cook with the hero trees though lmao

lucid olive
#

i stand by that

exotic perch
#

them making it where you pick literally all the talents

#

and the choice ones are like 95/5

royal zenith
#

I don't think you can compare these type of talent trees with like a poe talent tree

#

they very obviously decide for you, what playstyles there are

#

best example is Devourer

craggy sonnet
exotic perch
#

yep which if they wanted to could be in the main tree

craggy sonnet
#

its a much more obvious and easy choice like this

#

for people

#

choose package A or B

exotic perch
#

left side could be the dot based nature spells, right could be the arcane/more spender oriented spells

craggy sonnet
#

package A wants to pick this ability

#

package B wants this other one

exotic perch
#

i just hate them adding more and more

craggy sonnet
#

gotta advertise something

exotic perch
#

give me one singular talent tree

craggy sonnet
#

then advertise the pruning

exotic perch
#

that is robust and unique

craggy sonnet
#

to advertise the new stuff on top

lofty depot
royal zenith
#

Im not a old-skool wow gamer

#

but did people actually calculate impact

#

with the old old talent trees?

#

maybe they will also just prune this shit at some point, add-on style

#

raidbots need to go

exotic perch
#

yea it was far easier too

#

raidbots didnt have to do much

#

and only 4/7 of the rows were dps oriented

royal zenith
#

yeah the rows I remember

#

but pre-rows even

spice roost
#

simulationcraft worked as a standalone way back like before raidbots was a thing

#

it does still tbh

exotic perch
#

oh back then im p sure no one did

#

it was all feelycraft

craggy sonnet
#

i guess somewhat simulation stuff started in wotlk even

spice roost
#

ya exactly

craggy sonnet
#

before that mostly elitist jerks forum yapping i think. but folks did do math

#

pretty early on

royal zenith
#

nah I get why it was less needed back then

spice roost
#

that and mmo champ

royal zenith
#

the talents actually made sense

#

instead of some conditional/passive shit

spice roost
#

ya

#

true

royal zenith
#

this is way easier to understand

craggy sonnet
#

3 pts on that thing

#

holy

royal zenith
#

meanwhile

spice roost
#

was abit more to it in tbc but still ez to understand

#

and same with wwrath

#

They really need to work on tooltips better in modern wow

cloud citrus
#

i mean

#

most of the talents in vanilla are basically similar written nodes they took out because they were just passive 2/2 point nodes to fill out hte tree in DF

lofty depot
# royal zenith

lol can go to the wotlk talents where rogues didnt anything under muta and went into sub talents

royal zenith
#

I don't know what that sentence means

#

anything under muta huh

lofty depot
#

gotta go find some reckful vod

#

rip the goat one sec

cloud citrus
#

Pve you used both of those underneath

#

the 2nd one was slice and dice refresh and the last one was a 5% increase in dam

sharp zenith
#

my trees are not casting moonfire anymore on dimensius

#

and i seem to be generating less ap - but i was guardian for the last 3 weeks, so am i confused or is something off on this boss

spice roost
#

Either ur build is different or u remember wrong about prior to 3 weeks ago via suggested ap difference

lofty depot
#

nah, the trees sometimes just dont do it

spice roost
#

Why would that change over 3 weeks tho

#

Ap

lofty depot
#

it hasnt, they might have just not noticed it

spice roost
#

Ah I see

lofty depot
#

its happened for longer than just the last 3 weeks

spice roost
#

The boss hitbox screws so much up

sharp zenith
#

ye the AP might just be me, ive just had a few times where i dont have AP when casting my 2nd CA in burst for 2 surges

#

the trees sometimes not doing a single moonfire is messed up too

#

so sometimes i have to refresh moonfire in burst, never had to do that on NK im pretty sure

#

weve only been on dimensius for 3 weeks so

lofty depot
#

have u considered ur playing wrong

sharp zenith
#

ye definitely

lofty depot
#

show log plz

lofty depot
#

because u dont have to press moonfire in 2nd ca during burst

#

so uhh

#

log?

sharp zenith
#

im flying

#

after this pull

jade flume
#

Fly high brother

lofty depot
#

u had time to post but not time to go to warcraft logs and copy the link

spice roost
#

Arctic just wants a reason to pick apart your log lol

lofty depot
#

i dont need a reason

#

i can find plenty

sharp zenith
sharp zenith
#

we died to the nova for no reason at all immediately

lofty depot
#

ur probably pressing moonfire a little late into pandemic

sharp zenith
#

idk i feel like my trees would always just handle the first refresh of moonfire for me

#

and now they dont

#

but ye could be

lofty depot
#

i just sunfire and moonfire while moving to the edge of the tank circle

#

i dont think it really bothers me

#

i cast sunfire while moving from the excess mass to middle

#

then moonfire from middle to edge

#

sometimes if leftside slow i dont have globals and press sunfire then moonfire

#

mind u im also pressing regrowth in that time frame

sharp zenith
#

ye makes sense, kinda what ive been trying to do - just that i remember not having to refresh moonfire there normally on nk

#

but fair enough

sharp zenith
lofty depot
#

NK isnt dimmy

sharp zenith
#

ye my guess is that the adds take the moonfire

#

instead of the boss

lofty depot
#

dimmy middle of his hitbox too far for trees to target

#

or some shit

sharp zenith
#

ye gg

lofty depot
craggy sonnet
#

Yes. But also the trees sometimes don't hit dimmy p1

sharp zenith
#

ill go back to guardian next week

lofty depot
#

theres an actual cast of regrowth

sharp zenith
#

thanks

lofty depot
#

idk just press earlier

lofty depot
#

u wild charge to not your spot and spam sunfire

sharp zenith
#

ye i know

#

best part of dimensius is getting that down tbh, feels great when you nail the timing

#

but ye first night + raid leading + we raid once a week and ive been raid logging so i am mighty rusty

#

not to make excuses for my dogshit subpar play of course

lofty depot
#

if u stand at the wrong of the uhh pull down circle thing for 1ish seconds

#

u can cast a wrath

#

then wrath end when circle goes away

#

big minmax

#

(p1 is cringe)

lofty depot
sharp zenith
#

oh shit

#

ye

lofty depot
#

i cast regrowth, big delay 🙂

sharp zenith
#

and need to cast starfire during these sometimes

#

that is the worst part for me

lofty depot
#

yea its cringe

craggy sonnet
sharp zenith
#

me trying to explain to my raid why my class does nothing to the adds

#

get told to go feral for the 999th time

lofty depot
#

tell them feral doesnt do anything to them either

craggy sonnet
#

i thought you are RL?

sharp zenith
#

yea

lofty depot
#

uhh u could be doing more

#

id say ur not doing enough

craggy sonnet
#

who the heck tells their RL to play another spec?

sharp zenith
#

its memes man

lofty depot
#

it looks like ur not even targetting them

sharp zenith
#

ye our side is fast

craggy sonnet
#

good

lofty depot
#

this crazy

#

The 3 sets of living masses not including the first one

sharp zenith
#

ye im not gonna hit them if the bar is red

#

since our aug went dev we are ahead on our side, we have the ele so

lofty depot
#

ahve u considered u have 4 melee on one side and 2 on the other

#

but yea ur damage is diabolical

paper cosmos
#

am i always pooling both charges of CE for convoke or is that only on pull?

lofty depot
#

depends on kill time

sharp zenith
#

why would i hit the adds if they die faster than the other side

paper cosmos
#

so if i can get another convoke in for the fight i dont pool

sharp zenith
#

cus it depends on the fight

lofty depot
sharp zenith
#

its not trouble

lofty depot
#

maybe u should fix the equilibrium of damage

sharp zenith
#

it dies in time

lofty depot
#

but if hte fight is like 330 iirc, u hold 3rd ca and convoke so u can double ca with the 4th ca

how do i make a macro so that it shows whichever of the talent is picked (force of nature x warrior of elune)?

i tried this one but doesnt seem to work

#showtooltip
/cast [known:205636,@cursor] Force of Nature;
/cast [known:202425] Warrior of Elune;

i dont think its actually that complex

#

theres probably an easier way

#

those numbers are the spell id

#

in midnight warrior of elune is gone

lucid olive
#

nah don't believe him

#

arctic made those numbers up

#

you use that macro and he gets mailed your ssn and three funny digits on your bank card

Hi everyone, I have a quick (and maybe dumb) question for Balance Druids.
I noticed that the Full Moon animation hasn’t been showing at all — I’ve seen forum posts saying this has been broken since September.
Is this really still not fixed?
I was thinking about returning for Legion Remix and later Midnight, and this was literally the first thing I checked… and it honestly shocked me a bit.
Can someone confirm if the Full Moon visual is still bugged, or if there’s a workaround?
Thanks in advance!

idtip addon, looking the spell up on wowhead or any other website, pretty sure elvui has it baked in and probably a ton of other addons and sources have them

#

if you just google a spell

#

like "starfall wow"

#

then top hit is likely wowhead

#

and the spellID is the number in the website url

#

https://www.wowhead.com/spell=191034/starfall

wowhead can be kinda iffy tho if there are multiple entries / effects with the same name

but for straight up abilities its mostly fine

So when I am balanced druid in mid combat and want to use frenzied regeneration will I have any rage to be able to use it or Do I have to do a bear attack and then press it?

it doesn't cost any rage for moonkin

you just go bear form and press the button

but you have to stay in bear form for the duration, if you shift out then you lose the effect
