I actually tried to test it myself and upon logging into boomie I got an error message telling me to go jump off a cliff

jaunty blaze
#

quite based

crude cargo
#

you don't need to be meta to play the game

lofty depot
#

They added a new button to the rotation, it's not overwhelming

#

It's essentially the same as it is currently

craggy sonnet
#

rather, the same as it was in the previous seasons

spice roost
#

ya lots of s2 vibes

#

cd wise

#

if anything the spec got easier

#

coming from s3

nova ocean
#

Haven't they done nothing to fix the we spam Starfall on st

craggy sonnet
#

they have pretty much done nothing in general since the last batch of raid testing (aside from very few pre patch notes that came out earlier)

U think boomie will get tuning ? atm mages and devs blast on ptr

royal zenith
#

boomie will for sure get tuning at some point in midnight

#

mark my words

craggy sonnet
#

Numbers are still mostly useless to even look at

lofty depot
#

We will not be tuned

Help a Balance Druid become a contender please. I hope this isn't too longwinded but I am a 714 level Druid and I am consistantly doing the lowest damage every place I go. Of course it is probably user error but my stats are intellect 80,000, and Stamina 705,000. I have obviously geared up wrong but is there any way to turn this around? I have enough Gilded Crest to craft an 727 level item, but despite having a few max level items I am still weak. Help PPPPLLLLLEEEEEAAAAASSSSEEEEEE.

spice roost

lol

#

is this a copy pasta

#

it reads like one

willow creek

#

lol no

willow creek
# spice roost lol no

Whew you had me worried. I guess you don't have an answer to my dilema but thank you for your input.

spice roost
#

your extremely low geared but can post logs and maybe someone will look at them thats the way u get help

drifting nova
#

post the tom jiff I do not have it

sudden pawn
#

yeah ur dilemma is extremely broad, ur not doing low dmg because u have 700k stamina

spice roost
#

there it is

jaunty blaze
#

got you

willow creek
quaint wave
#

Link your character also, we can't see your gear, there are things ppl can tell u based on spec and just seeing your gear that will increase your danage

sudden pawn
#

yeah obviously but we dont know if youre playing rotationally correct

drifting nova
sudden pawn
#

or even if you have tier set

#

hence why we would need a log or some indication of a sim and or anything really to get an idea of where u are going wrong

#

u could slap on 10 more ilvls and still be doing low damage

quaint wave
#

Crafting a 727 weapon is almost certainly going to be your first step unless you already have a 727 + weapon.

willow creek
spice roost
willow creek
sudden pawn
#

yeah so adding ilvl or fixing ur stats (not that it really matters much anyway)

#

is not really gonna help if u dont know the basic fundamentals or rotation in general

#

hence why we need a log of you fighting a boss where u are doing low damage to see

willow creek

u didnt respond so

thats not boomy

#

lol

drifting nova
#

mhm..new player

#

I imagine the algari alchemist trinket is bad ..

craggy sonnet
#

thats not 714 ilvl either.
Where did you go other than LFR that had you at the bottom of the meter

drifting nova
#

eh, 713

#

close enough

craggy sonnet
#

i dont see a single key done or boss in the raid

#

raider io page says 707

#

hm

drifting nova
#

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

delicate perch
#

I base my ilvl off vibes

craggy sonnet
drifting nova
#

arm has 713

willow creek
drifting nova
#

it's a feral weapon

spice roost
#

u need a intellect weapon

drifting nova
#

weapons and trinkets do not share main stat

delicate perch
#

Agility good for cat, bad for chicken

drifting nova
#

like other items

#

so you need different for specs

willow creek
delicate perch
#

Yes

drifting nova
#

I mean you can recraft it to int

#

but you were playing feral

#

so I imagine you wanted it then

delicate perch
#

You can not do that

drifting nova
#

cant you?

jaunty blaze
#

nope

drifting nova
#

see, I dont craft

delicate perch
#

No

drifting nova
craggy sonnet
#

its a totally different weapon

spice roost
#

its a polearm

craggy sonnet
#

you need to craft

drifting nova
#

only crafted once in my life, start of df

#

that silly necklace

craggy sonnet
#

silly you

delicate perch
#

But it’s like week 8000 so you have infinite sparks by now

drifting nova
#

really hate how the crafting system has become

#

I'm no genius but..bad?

#

bad

delicate perch
#

Not great but there could be worse options

drifting nova
#

atleast it's the right spec

delicate perch
#

Proc it before dryad pogg

spice roost
#

also u have no enchants wrong spec weapons and bad trinkets @willow creek and no gems

drifting nova
#

he's learned well, he's ec

#

not stinky kotg

delicate perch
#

Oh

willow creek
drifting nova
#

weapon first

delicate perch
#

Really depends on your options

drifting nova
#

thatl fix a large problem

spice roost
#

craft a intellect staff

drifting nova
#

the wep is..8k int

spice roost
drifting nova
#

to put it into perspective, you have the stats of 700

#

my 698 druid has 20k more int

craggy sonnet
#

weap is the biggest thing
missing enchants and sockets are significant as well. you can buy an item from the AH called "Magnificient Jewellers Setting" that allows you to put up to two sockets on neck and rings

drifting nova
#

you'e like 690-695 geared

willow creek
#

Ok I have enough gilded crest to craft a new 727 level , Which one should I pick?

craggy sonnet
#

there is an int staff or 2h mace

#

doesnt matter which one you pick

spice roost
#

make sure the one u pick is intel;lect

craggy sonnet
#

be careful, there is also a strength mace

drifting nova
#

so long as it has int

#

wait..druids can use maces?

craggy sonnet
#

craft it with mastery+haste missive

spice roost
#

yes kekkers lol

drifting nova
#

thought that was paladin only

#

for int

craggy sonnet
#

hm hm hm

drifting nova
willow creek
#

So recraft a weapon as opposed to some other thing to 727?

craggy sonnet
#

but its interesting actually .. there are no 2h maces with agi even, are there?

drifting nova
#

still find it weird hpals can use 2h maces

#

doenst feel right

spice roost
#

weapon is your biggest need

craggy sonnet
#

Best-in-Slots i guess

spice roost
#

i forgot about that one

craggy sonnet
#

but other than that .. agi 2h maces are not a thing, are they?

spice roost
#

i think there was one in grim batol recently in keys?

#

maybe that was intellect

drifting nova
#

not that its much but there is a better reshi gem too

#

not that youd have known from the game itself

#

terrible implementation

willow creek
#

Only thing I can seem to find two handed is a charged claymore sword

spice roost
#

u need to get it crafted by someone

#

the staff or 2h mace inteellect

willow creek
#

Ok. I went to the crafting place and there was no way to place an order for that.

craggy sonnet
#

the mace is called charged invoker

spice roost
#

the staff is

craggy sonnet
#

the staff is vagabonds bounding baton

drifting nova
#

god I hope crafting gets deleted

spice roost
#

it wont

drifting nova
craggy sonnet
#

you are gonna be able to craft some decor items tho

#

thats neat

#

i guess

willow creek
#

I just saw that. the Charged Invokerooks like intellect is its highest stat.

#

looks

spice roost
#

yup

craggy sonnet
#

they all have just one primary stat

#

btw, you should read this guide to get a better grasp on the spec probably

willow creek
#

So you would really just throw the other 727 in the trash as opposed to crafting another item?

craggy sonnet
drifting nova
#

as it's an agility wep

craggy sonnet
#

you can swap to it for feral bear

#

but it makes no sense to attempt playing boomie with it

#

if you do some content you will also be able to craft a lot more items

#

since there are a lot of catch up sparks that are gonna drop

willow creek
#

Ahhh. That makes sense.

spice roost
willow creek
#

And would an intellect weapon help with gaurdian?

spice roost
#

no

drifting nova
#

weapons and trinkets generally change

#

when swapping between primary stats

spice roost
#

but the polearm u have will

willow creek
#

Ok cool, so its not a complete waste.

drifting nova
#

really wish they just made weps and trinkets swap like arm

willow creek
#

Ok so the Mace or the Stave???

jaunty blaze
#

whatever you like more

#

it doesnt matter both have the same stats

willow creek
#

The think with the trinket is it boosts whatever my highest stat is, So I am not so sure I would ever get Intellect up to where it would be the highest stat.

willow creek
willow creek
# craggy sonnet wdym?

I have the 727 Algari Chemist Stone. It only seems to boost my highest stat. I am not sure it does much besides boost my item level

jaunty blaze
#

it gives you int dont worry

craggy sonnet
#

but why wouldnt int be your highest stat

#

aside from some trinkets and weapons, all of your other gear is adjusting their primary stat based on your selected spec

willow creek
#

That was in my original post. Intellect is about 80,000 and Stamina is 700,000

jaunty blaze
#

it cant give you stamina

willow creek
craggy sonnet
#

Surely you have read the trinket description

willow creek
lofty depot
#

??? Strength isn't stamina

#

Ur int is the highest.

craggy sonnet
#

baiting?

spice roost

you should

willow creek
#

I added missive and other enhancement

spice roost
#

if you care at all i mean

#

rings should have 2 gems in them same with neck and legs back wrist chest enchants weapon enchant

willow creek
#

Ok well I don't have gems in those. I will look in to how to add gems to those.

not mutually exclusive fortunately

willow creek
#

Anyways I put Quick Onyx and Masterful Emrald in the ring and necklace slots. That is what I could find that seems good for Balance.

craggy sonnet
#

do you have a blasphemite socketed?

#

its generally considered worth doing (even if just for the movement speed) and get one of each color gem

#

ah damn, getting back into bad habits actually being helpful

lucid olive
#

log off

craggy sonnet
#

not even two weeks into the new year

willow creek
#

so Blasphemite has to be in one socket and a gem needs to be in the other?

craggy sonnet
#

blasphemite looks at the sockets across all your gear

willow creek
#

I tried to load a blashepmite into a bracer socket. But it didn't go.

spice roost
#

u can only have 1 on your gear

craggy sonnet
#

did you buy a raw blasphemite?

willow creek
#

yes i bought one

craggy sonnet
#

no i mean .. did you buy the raw material

#

or an actual gem

willow creek
#

I bought the gem

craggy sonnet
#

Elusive Blasphemite

#

do you have one already equipped?

willow creek
#

I dont think so . I will look

spice roost
#

he had one in his neck earlier today when he posted

craggy sonnet
# willow creek

ok, i dont see your sockets/gems on default character panel. so based from blizz..
what stats did you craft the weapon with? if you plan on maining boomie going forward, you might wanna recraft your ring as well

#

i believe that was crit haste?

willow creek
#

My stats are crap.

delicate perch
#

it do be

#

if you have a lot of sparks you could craft better statted off slots

willow creek
#

I have sparks but no gilded crests at the moment

#

So recraft with a focus on Intellect?

delicate perch
#

well only weapon will matter for that, rings/neck generally don't have main stat, leather items will swap

craggy sonnet
#

also what are you even focusing on?

#

just dungeons / m+?

#

or

willow creek
#

If I recraft to mastery haste what stats will that boost?

spice roost
#

Mastery and haste

willow creek
#

I want to get powerful enough to even do the mythic.

#

dungeons

spice roost
#

Read wow head guide and practice

#

Your gear is already high enough for it

willow creek

Yeah. But when people with item levels in 670 are doing way more damage than I am there is a pretty big problem

Hey folks 👋
I’ve been running WeakAuras as my primary cooldown & rotation manager in TWW.
With Midnight beta what addons would you recommend I look into for cooldowns, procs, eclipse tracking, Astral power etc?

when we sim astral antenna for other classes or whatever. is there a miss chance i should put it at? or how does that work

Haha come on now one can dream and hope

lofty depot

wouldnt expect it to be off gcd

rough peak
#

Would feel pretty smooth if it was though. Alright thank you

drifting nova
#

wonder if theres a list of half gcds somewhere

stone cairn
#

I didn't know half of a gcd could exist

#

0.5 sec?

drifting nova
#

only one I can think of is sweeping strikes for arms but I dont play like half the classes

#

enough

#

dh probably has 1

#

it's giga cringe

stone cairn
#

I have 1 of every class, and I only play 3

drifting nova
#

SS itself does NO damage

#

and the planned damage it does do is budgeted into it's damage reduction on the second target

#

it's a big ..why

stone cairn
#

I almost never even use it. Im debating on spec'ing out of it

#

Cause cleave

Are there soft caps or penalties at certain %s? I feel like 33% is a bit high in the haste department but idk

#

PvP btw

lofty depot
potent cargo
#

99.9% of pvp is ur gameplay not ur stats anyway

#

max versa and max haste all the way

#

gotta get those fast clones

#

any talent build examples? haven't played it much before and i wanna get a feel for it

for midnight

yep

#

where might I find one

lofty depot
#

did u read the pin

formal trellis
#

oh perfect. ty. is starfall -still- better ST

lucid olive
#

very likely since there hasn't been tuning or other changes since the pin

fast finch
#

how "much" haste is enough? (i know sim everything etc etc) but im talking about how much feels "good" to play withtout losing to much dps

stone cairn
#

All of the haste.

#

every single ounce of it

lofty depot
lofty depot
#

youll lose more dps by playing incorrectly than you will ever gain by having "correct stats"

stone cairn
lofty depot
#

if you play worse with 3k haste than u do with 5k.... then u should play with 5k

#

that doesnt matter

#

our playstyle currently doesnt require a large amount of haste

#

mastery > crit > vers

#

whoops flipped it 🙂

fast finch
lofty depot
#

i think the difference is like 1 or 2%

#

doubt u would notice it

fast finch
#

in midnight the playstyle is remaining the same mastery>cirt/verse or it will be the same mastery > haste ( i know is early but how things are looking) ballparking it to have an idea

#

i dont have beta, thats why im askinjg

lucid olive
#

no way to know before sims are available

#

probably something more like season 1 and season 2

#

which is like mastery -> haste/vers -> crit

#

but the middle apex talent has crit interaction so it could change

#

maybe the nerf to treants also makes haste better since all your dmg isn't frontloaded into convoke in cds

fast finch
#

😮

stone cairn
#

Is balance in a good spot right now? I havent played balance in a very very long time.

#

Think 2014

lucid olive
#

nobody knows

fast finch
#

and about rotation?

lucid olive
#

in 2014 i was busy having a life

fast finch
#

basically the same adding eclipse?

lucid olive
#

the rotation is largely unchanged, you just add another button you press

#

unless you play elune's chosen then your total number of buttons is unchanged

fast finch
#

naah fuck elunes, was talking about ST raid thing, all i care is that im finally able to play boomie again lol

lucid olive
#

you've always been able to play it

fast finch
#

no, i was forced to switch to tank then to shaman

#

roster issue

#

in my guild

#

and we failed tto achieve CE this tier 🙁

lucid olive
#

you're not forced to do anything you don't want to

fast finch
#

i know i know but we wanted to achieve CE so that was the main goal

lofty depot
#

also, u might dump asp at end of eclipse, which before u would not do that. So mentality change... granted a lot of bad players would dump randomly so depends how u played if it actually changes for u 🙂

spice roost
#

does it have to do with starlord uptime

#

basicly being free

lofty depot
#

well... 1 if u keep a few assumptions that u dont want to use asp outside of eclipse and u dont want to overcap asp. You would want to make sure u have room to cast wraths outside of eclipse and not spend ever until u get back into eclipse.
2. Depending if elunes challenge is something u take, u would want to be under 40 asp when exiting eclipse

#

which again, are all just sim questions, but things to think about

spice roost
#

ah isee ok

craggy sonnet
#

I don't get this dump at the end thing. Wouldn't we not just spend aggressively during eclipse? Like press spender asap

lofty depot
#

easier to make sure u have asp to dump at the end and have asp throughout rather than having no asp to move if u needed to

healthy "friction" 2Head

cursive mirage
#

hot take: it feels fine on the half GCD. Going from 2 GCDs to get into eclipse to half and without GCD you'd be doing cringe fireblasty stuff with it

craggy sonnet
#

are you doing cringe fireblasty stuff now with CA?

#

its the same button basically. i dont understand why they should function differently

cursive mirage
#

well CA on live can't be used during spell cast and if you take orbital its on the GCD

#

I just dont think its really a big deal honestly. It feels fine on beta with half gcd

craggy sonnet
#

just saying it doesnt make sense

cursive mirage
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

craggy sonnet
#

if anything its confusing

#

for no apparent reason

cursive mirage
#

they want button presses to feel like you're doing something

#

I'd argue that the bigger frustration should be that when you incur the trees global, you dont feel like it does much of anything

craggy sonnet
#

sure, trees also feels bad

cursive mirage
#

at least pressing eclipse you get to see pretty bolts flying around and its only a half gcd

craggy sonnet
#

but you cant argue the point that eclipse and CA working differently as a button is nonsense

#

either or

cursive mirage
#

Well I am on record as saying I think CA existing as it does alongside eclipse is nonsense

#

but thats a different argument

craggy sonnet
#

sure. but thats questioning the current design on a larger scale

#

ye

cursive mirage
#

idk I just dont think its that big of a deal. Live version of eclipse is 2 globals to get into it

#

beta is .5

#

so many other things dont make sense, that is not the hill I think its worth dying on

craggy sonnet
#

its not detrimental

#

just nonsensical

#

and confusing

cursive mirage
#

I dont think it would make it feel any different if it were off GCD and might cause other random issues depending on how they implement and code

craggy sonnet
#

half gcds in general are kinda ??

cursive mirage
#

there are already bugs with spell queing things going into eclipse but we just dont worry about them

craggy sonnet
#

because they are not communicated ingame

#

all of that also applies to CA thoi

#

so either its an issue for both

#

or none

cursive mirage
#

yeah so put CA on the .5 GCD?

craggy sonnet
#

at least it would be consistent lol

#

obv rather not

cursive mirage
#

what if part of the power of CA is that its giving you half a global back!

craggy sonnet
#

daaamn

#

big

cursive mirage
#

gonna be honest

craggy sonnet
#

you really cant argue this one in good faith

#

its just design philosophy all over the place

#

there is no common thread

#

which is mostly what i have somewhat of an issue with

#

more than this specific example

cursive mirage
#

I think youre thinking too deep about it. New eclipse was a change to old eclipse and wasn't made with CA in mind (obviously). The comp is eclipse on live vs. eclipse on beta which is 2 globals compared to .5. The fact that people are comping CA and eclipse is more of an issue of those two things not being distinct enough buttons

delicate perch
cursive mirage
#

and yeah I realize that saying you cant comp eclipse and the CD that puts you into both eclipses sounds ridiculous but outside of them using the same name/triggers for talents they just aren't the same

#

Like beta CA could read "Increases all damage by x% and triggers all eclipse-related effects" instead of "maintains both eclipses" or w/e

craggy sonnet
#

no they are exactly the same .. in terms of their effect on activation and providing a passive dmg buff

craggy sonnet
cursive mirage
#

trust me I think you and I are on the same side on most of this. I think CA should have been changed with this new eclipse world. I am just saying that they aren't thinking about CA as "the same as eclipse but stronger" like you and I are

craggy sonnet
#

doesnt help arguing about it anyways

cursive mirage
#

I just dont think the half global really feels bad

#

also to be clear this is ONLY true after you get apex talents

#

it feels weird as fuck without apex

craggy sonnet
#

its just a headscratcher to me is all.
i think they made an effort sometime in shadowlands where they also gave their design intentions at the time with regards to abilities impact and how that relates to them being on/off the gcd

cursive mirage
#

Yeah I forget if it was slands or bfa

craggy sonnet
#

and i dont like them being so inconsistent

cursive mirage
#

but they stated back then that they didn't want a bunch of things off the GCD because it led to people macroing everything together and was stupid

craggy sonnet
#

yes

cursive mirage
#

so they started putting stuff on GCD but making it feel cool to press

craggy sonnet
#

they consolidated buttons and stuff

#

and that

#

apoc

#

or whatever

#

some uh dk things

#

but this is not an issue in this case

cursive mirage
#

and even then it wasn't 100% consistent but thats been the general philosophy. No class gets a ton of off-GCD stuff but anything on GCD "does something" when you hit it

we dont have many ogcd buttons

#

yes

#

and regardless of the connection between eclipse and CA, both are in exactly the same category when it comes to that philosophy

cursive mirage
#

Yeah I just think CA is the one behind the times in this new iteration

craggy sonnet
#

maybe

cursive mirage
#

They are making eclipse have the button press do something and putting it on a half GCD but CA is just a relic of the past that didn't get worked in

#

so its just hanging on

craggy sonnet
#

arguably copping out of the ability doing something on activation being the apex is still weird

#

thats why its only half i guess

#

kek

cursive mirage
#

I do agree they should probably make it 0 GCD before apex I guess

#

but I dont really care that much about the "leveling experience" of wow

#

so

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

there's a few addons that try and hook into the cooldown manager but they're all dogshit

Playing with no addons on beta has been quite nice

Definitely gonna cutback on prepatch

late dawn
#

probbably irrelevant in a few weeks, but which of these two would ultimately lead to longevity/longer to replace: Boots, Antenna, or Araz's trinket

Hi! New balance druid here. Looking at buying stuff for the coins, gonna buy Araz's trinket since it seems the best for balance. Can I macro it to Incarnation or is that bad?

@quiet driftwhy would we not run this next patch

i mean midnight

considering how cds are

can someone tell me how we feel about the on use eclipse and/or other changes?

pallid bay
#

please tell this man how to feel @lucid olive

lucid olive
#

furious

spice roost
#

lol

iron fox
#

Yea, please correct me if I’m wrong, but it seems like they’re just taking a system that’s already baked in and making it into something that gives the illusion of something else to do/another button to press? (I haven't deep dove anything as of yet so forgive me if I'm totally off base and missing something lol)

exotic perch
#

yea instead of removing eclipse and making a better system

#

they just made it a separate button

#

lazy solution but better then it is right now

iron fox
#

I'm not sure if ill get hate for this or not lol but I enjoyed how it played in mop.

That being said I was extremely casual back then so idk how i'd feel about it now

lucid olive
#

Midnight version is definitely better than current Eclipse

#

everyone has different opinions on what the spec should be

#

and i'd rather be happy when we take 1 step forward than be mad when we go 3 steps back

exotic perch
#

i would like the actual button press of eclipse to feel better

#

give astral power or do more damage the the bolts lol

spice roost
#

doesnt it proc the dryad too

exotic perch
#

maybe i dont remember rn lol

#

invisible procs suck

spice roost
#

lol

#

people will never be happy

#

no matter what

quiet drift
#

The has been like

#

20+ different iterations

#

Everyone will prefer something else

spice roost
#

yup

exotic perch
#

eclipse is a cool idea of a buff for the class

#

but they have had so many iterations its just never hit

iron fox
#

so how is it currently better in midnight than on live?

spice roost
#

u control when to use it

#

thats why its better imo

iron fox
#

that makes sense

spice roost
#

less globals to use it

#

can switch anytime its rdy

#

also the cd lining up is better

exotic perch
#

yea there are times rn where casting 2 starfires is brutal

#

just being able to tap it is nice

Well if u want to know what it's like, go play beta

Somethings might change, assuming u won't Starfall on st.

and nothing will come close to remix for moonkin

silent yarrow
#

I have a midnight beta theory crafting question about the EC build in the pins: Since Ascendent Eclipses increases the damage of our first 3 starfalls/surges after entering eclipse, in big AoE situations (8+ targets), is it best to ignore any free starsurge procs from starweaver and just spam starfall 3 times to spend all 3 ascendant stars procs? Assuming this is true, my follow up question is: at what target count would this not be the case?

delicate perch
#

probably prio damage

silent yarrow
#

I've mostly been playing it by feel, yeah

#

if the thing needs to die, i'm gonna send the starsurges

#

It would be nice to know the target count though so I can make a more informed decision about just how much damage I'm losing on everything else by doing that

delicate perch
#

That’ll be probably updated in Dreamgrove when it hits live

lucid olive
#

You make the robot spend in every different way and see which one gives the best result

#

It does feel bad to ignore your free Starfall procs just cause you need to spend your apex talent buffed spenders

silent yarrow
#

Yeah

#

I have no data to back this up

#

but it did feel like my damage went up when I sent them only on starfalls

lucid olive
#

On 8+ targets it's probably worth ignoring the Starsurge proc unless you need prio dam yeah

#

Spending it only gives Solstice and Shooting Stars has target count DR

silent yarrow
#

Yeah. there's so many other effects in that build that are buffing your damage early on in the eclipse

#

I think that build does have a lot more depth than what meets the eye

#

There's also the question of, if you have a free starsurge BEFORE your eclipse, is it better to delay eclipse by a global to spend it or to use it? I think the answer is likely to delay eclipse, which also feels very bad especially when you're at 2 charges. I've had that happen a few times early in a dungeon when the first pack died during incarn

lofty depot
#

If the proc would last long enough, I doubt it. Also though process wise you might just ignore surge procs in packs above say 6 mobs. But again, sim question and if u wanted the prior dam or not

plucky valley
#

You have to ask yourself with each button press: “is this iconic behavior or would it be flop era?”

lusty echo
#

Is the rotation more complicated in midnight ?

lofty depot
spice roost
#

?

potent cargo
#

boomy easiest rotation in game

spice roost
#

considering the cds line up better and no double ca stuff it seems much easier

lofty depot
#

it didnt lose anything so how would it be easier

spice roost
#

easier to line up cds is all i meant

lofty depot
#

u dont know that they line up better yet

#

u remember araz prog

spice roost
#

i meant with eachother the trees+ convoke +ca combo or ca+ convoke

#

wasnt talking about lining up for fight timing

lofty depot
#

tbf most people dont do the technical timing finding out

#

they just copy

#

so its not really hard for them to find their ca + convoke timings

#

the trees timings how ever

#

btw these araz timings were like 99% using on rip and now like half are first add set

#

wonder who started all that hmm

Plus trees + 2x shrooms

crazy didnt they remove the talent that gives you more ap when you press treants

#

bountenous blooms

fossil hemlock

Yeah but trees still give 20, eclipse dryad gives +10% generation to most things and each treant moonfire gives you the AsP

Ok, then I don't think trees do anything

sudden flame

no relating to whatever tettles plays

craggy sonnet

For ec

round field
#

trees by themselves are kinda dookie

#

wiwhout kotg talents

#

pretty sure if you press treats on ec they will just die in 2 globals

fossil hemlock
#

20 asp per minute and no damage

craggy sonnet
#

Yea, they taunt and die

pallid bay
#

p sure you'd only press them if you had downtime

fossil hemlock
#

They don't do damage anyway, just send them underneath yourself

round field
#

so never?

craggy sonnet
#

And if for some reason they don't, then they auto attack for beans

round field
#

why would you press trees instead of a starfire

pallid bay
#

movement no AP

fossil hemlock
#

Big out of combat generator

pallid bay
#

but a moonfire might just be better

round field
#

if u have movement no ap its skill issue

#

just press dot instead no

sudden flame
#

like building a purely ST build you would surely take it since the alternative is 10% moonfire damage right?

pallid bay
#

right so you should be able to relate

round field
#

no

if i dont have ap for movement i dont move

is astral communion good

if ur playing ec u want aoe talents

cause ur not playing st fight

if ur on ec

pallid bay

click a talent and literally nothing changes

sudden flame
#

thats what im noticing ye

pallid bay
#

except a dot goes from 20 to 25 damage

sudden flame
#

its just a random passive buff to a spell

round field
#

have to proc first

pallid bay
#

more dam in eclipse

crude cargo
#

will you consult the unreadable graph

#

on another note didnt they remove passive shrooms

pallid bay
#

no they made them worse

#

or the other one better

round field
#

so basically they removed them

pallid bay
#

basically

sudden flame
#

wtf is total eclipse it just gives you CA - the haste or does it give you the full effects of CA including from incarn with the crit

pallid bay
#

it dosnt give you CA

#

gotcha talent

round field
#

just gives both eclipse

#

not the same as ca

sudden flame
pallid bay
#

so no CA/incarn benefits

#

just both eclipses

crude cargo

kind of ass talent

for 2 points wtf
