same reason people want to get boosted in pve

vale pebble
#

its usually mega goog

royal zenith
#

achievements, titles, mounts

#

whichever they attach to value

vale pebble
#

(its just glad mount)

royal zenith
vale pebble
#

or mog lowkirk

crude cargo
#

in pve atleast you can get gear quickly

#

to start doing content ig?

royal zenith
#

define quickly

vale pebble
#

erm

eager raft
#

Pvp gearing is stupid fast

vale pebble
#

dont look my druid

eager raft
#

Especially if it’s an alt

crude cargo
#

alot of ppl that buy mythic raid usually do it for gear

royal zenith
#

also don't you get currency to buy gear instantly if you get boosted doing higher content in pvp

crude cargo
#

and mount obv

royal zenith
#

or is it a fixed amount

dense steeple
#

I bought an aotc carry for my alt with loot funnel

#

I gained 3 ilvl

royal zenith
#

yuge

dense steeple
#

I also bought aotc carry for my wife with loot funnel and she gained like 35ilvl

round field
#

ur wife sounds like a slacker

dense steeple
#

Which is not alot considering she doesn't play the game

#

Like i bought us full clear funnels

royal zenith
#

sounds like actual value

vale pebble
#

iqnious talking

lofty depot
#

Soma has many wow golds

crude cargo
eager raft
#

Just gotta do m+

royal zenith
#

just a casual 60+ dungeonis

crude cargo
#

might not be full biss but thats a pretty good starting ground

eager raft
#

Is really underselling the fact that you have to do 30+ keys

crude cargo
#

ppl who buy raid to do m+ are degen

#

anyway

royal zenith
#

that is correct

eager raft
#

If you just post ur own key people carry u for free

lucid olive
#

yeah just do 50+ keys in a few weeks for a good starting ground

royal zenith
#

but doesn't take away the fact it's probably just as time intensive as getting gear for pvp

lucid olive
#

need to play for 12 hours in LFG just as a beginning

royal zenith
#

also knowing blizzard, they probably made it so you spend same amount for all content...

crude cargo
#

rerollers do that

royal zenith
#

or at least attempt..

crude cargo
#

in .5 patch

lofty depot
#

Get geared early, push keys early, sell keys while they're expensive. Afk after prog

vale pebble
#

back in the day u used to do 1 raid boost

#

and u had almost full gear

#

straight up

eager raft
#

Push keys early - guy who has done 12s

vale pebble
#

idk why they added these chungus crests and valorstones for alts

#

that shits sisyphus

crude cargo
#

valorstones 💀

lucid olive
#

glad valorstones are gone

royal zenith
lofty depot
royal zenith
#

it's actually worse now, by definition

lofty depot
#

Then my tank found out he was shit and we stopped

royal zenith
#

to get a boost

crude cargo
eager raft
lofty depot
#

I started playing other games after

#

M+ mental illness

#

Just wipe to the same pack 14 times until u get it right then keep going

crude cargo
#

this season is the only season of this expac where i didnt really m+ past 12s

lucid olive
#

what io did you stop at arctic

eager raft
#

I was like top 10 hunters but then turbo boost came out and I didn’t want to be one of those people getting post turbo boot io score so I had to stop

lofty depot
#

Lol we did like 2 17s and he got stuck on learning. Some tech in priory

lucid olive
#

noob

crude cargo
#

i feel like this season dungeon pool was full of stinkers

livid jay
#

prolly more score than me shrug

lucid olive
#

only season i bothered doing something

lofty depot
#

I mean this was also when I wasn't geared for EC either

#

Didn't have spire, didnt have trinkets

livid jay
#

blame the gear Classic

eager raft
#

Nice I clear you both

lucid olive
#

think i played more guardian than moonkin this season and its not close

#

i just played havoc as an alt for fun

lofty depot
#

That was also before .5 patch

crude cargo
#

did you enjoy havoc

lucid olive
#

yeah fun spec

lofty depot
#

So like, I'm him probably

crude cargo
#

just m+ or raid too?

lucid olive
#

i did 6/8m in alt runs and stuff on it

#

had fun

crude cargo
#

AR very fun in dung

lucid olive
#

did 6/8m on like 6 diff characters i think

#

before i lost passion for the season

crude cargo
#

had my main and 2 alts this season

crude cargo
#

started a 3rd and gave up halfway thru

lucid olive
#

my issue is with turbo boost

crude cargo
#

poor ww monk 🥀

lucid olive
#

its really fun to gear at the start of the season

crude cargo
#

to catch up later on

#

feels miserable

lucid olive
#

then turbo boost comes and you feel like you need to giga grind

eager raft
crude cargo
#

on main it doesnt add anything and it feels like shit on alts

lofty depot
eager raft
#

But it made me lose all interest in playing anything else cuz it added like 30% more keys to max gear

royal zenith
#

turbo boost is a weird concept

#

maybe they should focus on making better content

#

thoughts?

lofty depot
#

Trying to add damage increases, with also making u do content

#

Wcyd

eager raft
#

Always felt to me like a lazy cop out to not have to actively balance the raid fights

#

Between turbo boot and the stacking raid buff

vale pebble
#

yippie

lucid olive
#

man i got inspired to log on and do another DH key before my weakauras disappear

royal zenith
#

how does this conversation inspire you to do this

lucid olive
#

idk

#

was reminded how fun havoc m+ is on live

crude cargo
eager raft
#

That’s why I played some some keys this weekend

vale pebble
crude cargo
vale pebble
#

so i had 0

#

smile

eager raft
#

Get some last minute enjoyment out of the game before it’s ruined

royal zenith
vale pebble
#

but i just didnt play any keys

crude cargo
#

i had time to do like 2/3 keys before raid on reset

eager raft
crude cargo
#

so i would get 90 during reclear

vale pebble
#

i was and it didnt matter

crude cargo
#

but ye ended prog the reset before turboboost so didnt really affect us

eager raft
#

I think my guild killed during the window where they added the extra ilvl but didn’t uncap crests yet

crude cargo
#

it was 3 weeks window i think

royal zenith
#

you're already minmaxing time during prog

#

and then turbo boost happens

#

yippeh

crude cargo
#

when prog is done with hof nerfs and turboboost its w/e if you dont have all your crests on reset

eager raft
#

I’m glad they’re slowing down gearing

royal zenith
#

are they?

#

what's happening

eager raft
#

Upgrades cost more crests

crude cargo
#

there was some datamining on crests upgrades

royal zenith
#

ah

eager raft
#

But cap stays the same

crude cargo
#

but nothing since ?

eager raft
royal zenith
#

that sounds actually

#

horrendous

crude cargo
#

yeah

#

but they didnt announce anything yet

#

so maybe nothingburger

royal zenith
#

having to do x3 content to be able to upgrade anything that was 1x previous season

#

actual nightmare

eager raft
#

I think it would feel better if they just slowed down crest acquisition

royal zenith
#

for what reason

#

gearing is not the endgoal?

eager raft
#

Effectively the same thing, but at least it takes longer to cap so you’re not just spending 90% of the first few weeks sitting at crest cap

#

I think there’s some value in continuing to get rewards

royal zenith
#

Imagine I told you to take a trip from A to B, but Ill add one more wheel to your car every 3 weeks

#

how would that feel for you

placid olive
#

Wild

eager raft
#

I don’t think it would feel like that

#

You’re gonna be on curve with other players

royal zenith
#

artificial curve you mean

eager raft
#

Yeah I guess so

royal zenith
#

there's a reason splits are being done

#

it's all just very forced

#

the gearing part that is

eager raft
#

Don’t you find it lame when you’re spamming keys for gear the first few weeks, but after 4 keys you’re capped

crude cargo
#

1st week not really

#

but after that

#

4-8 is meaningless

royal zenith
#

I'd feel worse about having to do 20 keys for 1 upgrade than 8 keys to cap + fill vault *

crude cargo
#

1 extra slot in GV wooo

eager raft
#

Well yeah that’s not what I’m suggesting

crude cargo
#

doing 8 keys in the first place feels shit

eager raft
#

Instead of 4 keys for cap, why not 8

crude cargo
#

since raid is 6 bosses

royal zenith
#

also the cap meant you'd have to make somewhat meaningful decisions on what to spend crests on anyway

#

during prog

crude cargo
#
  • doing more keys on reset to get cap is the worst shit ever
#

i dont have more time on reset day

#

to do 8 keys for cap

#

before raid at 9pm

eager raft
#

you’re gonna be doing them anyway throughout that week

crude cargo
#

yeah but do make the prog faster i want my shit asap

eager raft
#

you’ve just been conditioned to think it’s normal to complete your entire week of things to do in 90 minutes

placid olive
#

^

royal zenith
#

how is it not normal though

crude cargo
#

m+ for crests isnt what i want my week to be filled with

eager raft
#

Surely you’re filling vault either way

crude cargo
#

its a sidequest forced into me

lofty depot
royal zenith
#

think it really depends on content and if it's fun

#

m+ is not fun for most

#

smile

crude cargo
#

m+ can be fun for me

#

but not weeklies

royal zenith
#

also this "Crests costs to upgrade now scale from 10 Crests (for 2/6 upgrade) to 50 Crests for the final upgrade."

crude cargo
#

and not in the middle of prog

royal zenith
#

is so so bad

#

holy fuck

eager raft
lofty depot
crude cargo
#

because it do be like that

eager raft
#

Who said you have to do that

lofty depot
#

1/6 and 2/6 cost runed or mythic crest no?

crude cargo
#

if im not doing it im griefing the other 19ppl playing that night

royal zenith
#

I hate the argument "the game doesn't value your time" but this game is really turning into that

eager raft
#

You’re filling your vault either way, what’s wrong with it taking those same 8 keys to cap crests

#

Seems pretty reasonable

lofty depot
#

Cuz I fill my vault at the end of the week

crude cargo
#

8 keys too much

lofty depot
#

I get crests at the beginning

#

Because u know, I'm prepared for raid

eager raft
#

Yeah you’re just a modern wow player

#

Everything needs to be handed to you immediately

lofty depot
#

Handed as if I'm not doing the key

eager raft
#

You’re gonna do the key regardless of if it gives you crests or not

royal zenith
#

what's wrong with that?

lofty depot
#

I do keys for crests

eager raft
#

Considering if you’re filling vault (which I know you are), at least half the keys you’re doing reward zero crests

#

bro who cares about week 12 the tier is already over

royal zenith
lofty depot
#

Not when ur turbo boostjng

#

I NEED MY GEAR

royal zenith
#

"you're doing it anyway"

crude cargo
#

what about making you fill your vault not a soulless activity

placid olive
#

You think 8 is too many? What amount would you suggest? 6?

crude cargo
#

rather than looking at crests*

eager raft
royal zenith
#

nah, Idc about the amount of keys you need to fill vault - that's an extra

#

but using it as an argument to higher or lower crest count/cap

#

that's super irrelevant

#

this is just about making it feel more useful, which in itself is just wrong

placid olive
#

What would you do differently? How would you change the current atm?

royal zenith
#

cause that implies it's useless to begin with

#

aka that's the real problem

#

I would get rid of all caps, let people go wild

lofty depot
#

Then u need to justify why their change is stupid

royal zenith
#

you clear content atm with having like 70% of your gear cap

eager raft
royal zenith
#

who cares if people are faster by a few days

eager raft
#

Their metrics show that people stop playing after maxing gear

placid olive
#

It would make more of a “seasonal game” more seasonal wouldn’t it?

#

Not saying that’s bad per say, but

eager raft
#

So it stands to reason that they want to extend how long it takes to max gear

royal zenith
#

yeah cause it's artificial, and they made gearing their endgoal

eager raft
#

(Weekly crest cap, turbo boost)

royal zenith
#

in that sense you can also just buy a boost end of tier and get it done

placid olive
#

Hasn’t it always been the end goal? Getting bis bis gear? That along with killing the hardest bosses

#

I guess both can be true

royal zenith
#

clearing content is the endgoal for me at least

placid olive
#

That’s fair

lofty depot
#

Imagine playing the game, to completion....then playing the game when it resets again to completion

#

Ik crazy

royal zenith
#

getting bis gear is secondary because that's a thing you introduce when you have to reclear for weeks on end

eager raft
#

Puzzle and I talked about this the other day and both agreed we think it should take like 10ish weeks to max ilvl

#

And another 3-5 weeks for bis

royal zenith
#

but why would you link it to a time period

#

it's such a weird thought process

eager raft
#

Because I want the game to remain interesting for me to play it

#

And it’s naturally harder to stay interested when the rewards have diminished to zero

royal zenith
#

but why not just play something else?

eager raft
#

After 4 weeks

#

Because I like playing wow

lofty depot
#

Playing 1 game for 3+ months. Disgusting

royal zenith
#

well clearly you don't

#

else you would play regardless

eager raft
#

There has been nothing to do

royal zenith
#

all this subjective anyway

lofty depot
#

Go push keys dork

royal zenith
#

but you're basically saying "I want the game to force me to gear up for 10 weeks, else Im not having fun"

eager raft
#

Meh not really

#

“I want the game to force me to gear up for 10 weeks, so I continue to have fun”

#

Would be a bit more close

lofty depot
#

"Force me to gear for 10 weeks so I can play it more, cuz that sounds fun"

placid olive
#

Slowing down gearing I don’t think is a bad idea, now HOW they do that, I have no idea of a good way lol

royal zenith
#

gear, people, content

eager raft
royal zenith
#

there you go

eager raft
#

Because they continue to have a reason to

#

I continue to log in anyways

#

But a lot of ppl don’t

royal zenith
#

so you want the game to force people to take 10 weeks to gear, so your friends don't log out

#

and you don't log out

lofty depot
#

Find more friends dork

royal zenith
#

I mean it's a valid reason

#

but linking it to crest changes

#

that's some mental gymnastics

lofty depot
#

He wants more people to suffer cuz he can't find more friends

royal zenith
placid olive
#

Eh

royal zenith
#

we're just memeing

#

it's respectable

#

dw about it

lofty depot
#

He needs to go outside

royal zenith
#

I think they should make gearing p2w like Lost Ark and BDO

#

thoughts

lucid olive
#

real

eager raft
#

I been playing lost ark last couple days

#

Games a banger. They made some good changes recently

lofty depot
#

Imagine playing the wrong arc

eager raft
#

I can’t get into arc raiders unfortunately

#

Just not a fan of extraction shooters really

lofty depot
#

After like 20 raids, it's barely that anymore

eager raft
#

I’m also just really bad at shooters these days

lucid olive
#

canada syndrome

eager raft
#

I stick to training wheels shooters like battlefield and call of duty

#

Where you don’t actually need good aim

lofty depot
#

Gun fight, win/die, leave. Bring hatch key, basically can't get extract camped. Ezpz

#

I just really like the gun play

eager raft
#

Part of my issue is that I never took the time to learn the systems so idk what’s worth looting

lofty depot
#

If they made it a br, I wouldn't be mad

eager raft
#

So I just pick up everything and then my bag is full 3 minutes into the run

lofty depot
#

And when u gun fight everyone, u know what's valuable.... Their guns

eager raft
#

I did fight and loot the gigantic spider thing the other day

#

That was bad ass

lofty depot
#

Big

#

Respectable in PvE lobbies

royal zenith
#

#

hope you didnt get too much gear though

#

imagine not enjoying the game anymore...

craggy sonnet
placid olive
#

Oh for sure, I just don’t know if that’s a good or bad way. Nor do I really have any big ideas. So I just play the game as it lays and call it lol

#

Not smart enough to have any real big revelations, I enjoy the game as it is and if I don’t then I just don’t play it as much

I understand/can see peoples opinions on stuff tho.

How the hell is blizzard just going live with sculpt the stars still as a talent. That garbage straight up looked like a place holder till they could put a real talent there

lucid olive
#

well you see

#

the tooltip for Eclipse states that its a 30 second cooldown

#

but its actually 32 second cooldown

#

you need to take Sculpt the Stars for the tooltip to be right

ripe slate
normal pilot
#

doesn't sculpt make the tooltip read 28s

lucid olive
normal pilot
#

unlucky always chasing the tooltip

lucid olive
#

but its actually 30

ripe slate
#

still waiting for them to take it completely off the gcd too

#

thats a weird copium

lucid olive
#

i don't see a reason why they should tbh

#

i don't think it feels that bad at all

ripe slate
#

was my #1 complaint playing on beta

nova ocean
#

Doesn't matter

ripe slate
#

feels weird that pressing a gcd-locked instant also locks eclipse

#

while CA doesnt

#

"but CA is a cooldown" blah blah

normal pilot
#

you get the addon stuf with the apex talents

lucid olive
#

i think just macroing Eclipse to a Starsurge would be really lame

ripe slate
#

do you macro starsurge to CA right now? lol

lucid olive
#

its probably a gain to do yeah

#

no reason why you wouldnt other than orbital strike GCD

#

but you dont take that talent so

ripe slate
#

i meant right now

lucid olive
#

yes me too

#

i dont see a reason why macroing starsurge to CA isnt a gain

ripe slate
#

yeah it could be, but i dont think people actually do it

#

not that i dont understand why eclipse is on the gcd just plays weird with CA not triggering it but eclipse triggering it

#

ill get used to it tho

loud kettle
lucid olive
#

there would also undoubtedly be some spellqueue bugs if eclipse was off gcd

ripe slate
#

probably true lol

lucid olive
#

like solstice being applied on the next global

#

which already happens on live

normal pilot
#

it's just half assed if they actually were able to full time design they would've added more consistency on ecl vs ca

loud kettle
#

be careful talking about off-gcd stuff, blizzard's new crew might think its a good idea to put everything on the gcd again

ripe slate
#

lol

normal pilot
#

it's just a stop-gap measure onto the next thing so you're gonna have weirdness

ripe slate
#

last titan theyre gonna remove eclipses and bring back empowerments

#

and the cycle repeats

normal pilot
#

nah no way they have time to redesign like that

#

they're under even more crunch than before

ripe slate
#

theyll bring out SL remix to stall for time

normal pilot
#

there's no need to stall ppl like new content and bugs/weird design is perfectly fine

im not sure what gamz thinks, but im pretty sure in no iteration of beta or prepatch would we starfall ST

Buff Orbital Strike by renaming it Syzygy

I play weaver only in saladar

But that could be wrong

When weaver is talented u can waste while moving in starfall

Then buff rattle so we never use it

Starfall in st can be a direction to play around .. this change from wraith spamming

Yeah, stays lunar. Sounds like a me issue though

Good xpax, farewell current boomkin I hope the new you is even better

i will miss tww boomie

midnight feels clunky and underpowered

as boom

lofty depot

because casting 2 starfires to enter eclipse was so smooth

merry ibex

lol

#

its not that

#

the damage feels undertuned

#

on beta staraurge was hitting for 30k in pvp on 500k hps

felt really bad

lofty depot

u said it felt clunky

merry ibex

yea damage wise

thats....

#

Gamepace is going way down for pvp

drifting nova
#

so whats in tomorrows update

quaint wave
#

So I would wait and see before you pass judgments. I think if anything boomie will be better in pvp because you will have more direct control over your eclipse on demand vs after 2 casts

lofty depot
drifting nova
#

big if true

quaint wave
#

Yeah. Boomie kit (druid kit, really) barely touched regarding pvp so I anticipate if their damage is strong they will be just as great.

#

You could pour one out for the loss of double frenzied regen on a 5min cd but c'est le vie

Heart change is a truly gutted ability I doubt will get taken

fossil hemlock

Gutted?

quaint wave
#

Yeah heart of the wild is much better now than it is in prepatcg for pvp

#

I won't be surprised if it's not taken

#

Where as right how it is probably your best apex

#

In the class tree

fossil hemlock
#

Idk, 30% max health increase for 20 seconds every 2 minutes that stays after you leave bear form

quaint wave
#

Oh I was misunderstood what you were saying,

#

Earlier.

#

My bad

fossil hemlock
#

I wasn't talking renewal, I was talking bear form HOTW

quaint wave
#

Ye I see that now.

fossil hemlock
#

I can see some situations in pvp where double frenzied is insane value, but in all other regards new hotw is just better

quaint wave
#

I guess we'll see. Admittedly it has the benefit of being an auto-path-to talent because of circle but

#

I wonder if people will skip

fossil hemlock
#

I doubt it, it's an extra defensive if nothing else

#

(very) budget survival instincts

quaint wave
#

Yeah but some other talents have been buffed a lot

#

Forest walk etc, mark of wild buff is an auto take

#

U prob right though

livid jay
#

I’ve heard that boomys dos is pretty low. Is this true? Is it because of bugs? Anyone playing beta that could confirm?

spice roost

it was in keys idk bout raid

that and paladin does like no damage

what is turtle wow is that a private server

drifting nova

pays for wow

plays a pserver

#

H U H

livid jay
#

yeee but with their own client its basically classic + with new zones in the gaps where classic didnt build more

delicate perch
#

I thought they got nuked

drifting nova

tried ascension once, that was ..something

livid jay

i thought so too but they still around

fossil hemlock

AFAIK

livid jay
#

when are they getting nuked by blizzard?

fossil hemlock
#

At this point, probably never

#

Ascension has been going strong for a lot of years now

#

Tinfoil theory is that it's run by a bunch of blizzard devs as a playground

#

To test things

#

They've "guessed" new additions to retail way too many times

livid jay
#

Well Blizz is going for turtle wow cause they want to be the only ones who eventually make classic+. If Ascension gets that new "classic+" mode it might attract some attention 😄

fossil hemlock
#

It already has classic+

#

Ascension started out as classic+ too, until it progressed

livid jay
#

hmm

#

Btw is prepatch gonna be worth starting the game or do i afk until release?

fossil hemlock

fossil hemlock
#

Do you want to do stuff in pre-patch?

#

If yes, launch. If no, don't launch.

livid jay
#

Are addons already nuked with prepatch?

#

Gotta make UI i guess

fossil hemlock
#

Pre-patch comes with the addon changes, yes

livid jay
#

So do i wait for Gamz import code or do i make my own Hmm

wait for gamz

no clue how it looked like but i bet it was great

livid jay
vale pebble
#

only thing is

#

boat being so big is useless

#

u should have duration there instead

#

my only complaint

#

but it being bright and aids to look at is good thats the point of wekauras

livid jay
vale pebble
#

eclipse duration instead of boat duration

livid jay
#

oh

#

well thats on the bars in the bottom

#

but ye

vale pebble
#

ur actual eclipse duration is very small

livid jay
#

boat kinda useless

#

yeee

#

i just got used to looking at the bars

#

the thing a lot of guys hated was that the bar only starts shrinking at the end of the eclipse 😄

vale pebble
#

er

#

thats good no?

livid jay
#

last 6 seconds i think

vale pebble
#

why would u not want that

livid jay
vale pebble
#

esp early eclipse should be automatic anyways

#

u only care about tracking the end

livid jay
#

idk most ui's have a long ass bar for the whole duration
my ui originated from something i built ages ago where i had two long ass bars for each eclipse but then wanted to track more stuff so needed space so i just clipped the eclipse bars basically 😄

#

this is how it was back in the day 😄

ah

what do they do

Well unless you count throwing yourself with your glaives in hand as throwing the glaive

They just consume and reap innit

Do damage, drop shit on the ground, pick up shit on the ground to make your cooldowns work

fossil hemlock
#

At least they already invented a cool term for gameplay minmax

#

Soul Smuggling

livid jay
#

that sounds like number 1 on the deaths statistics

lucid olive
#

Nah you have an instant cast spell that auto picks souls

#

And your main spell that drops souls is castable while moving

livid jay
#

have u tried it?

fossil hemlock
#

And same concept as souls for havoc/vengeance where you can have X souls on ground, and generating more auto-picks them up

lucid olive
#

I played it on alpha but haven't played on beta much

livid jay
#

maybe i'll give it a go too but probably just gonna play mage again as split alt

fossil hemlock
#

Their spell effects are insanely good

lucid olive
#

I thought it was unbelievably boring on alpha so haven't bothered after

fossil hemlock
#

So that's nice

livid jay
#

is it comparable to any other spec or is it completely new type of feel

lucid olive
#

It's a DH spec for sure

livid jay
#

ok

lucid olive
#

Just not as exciting

livid jay
#

gotya

crude cargo
#

to be fair VS hero talent felt engaging

#

shorter cycle and weaving in/out of melee

#

was funny max was like "theres so many moonkins streaming rwl"

#

Best answer was in chat. All guilds without moonkin already killed

#

But dimmy on boomie was kinda good, except P2.2 with no CDs, but that sucked for a lot of specs

boreal brook
#

This iteration of Balance has been my favourite by far.

Sad it was so short lived

indigo barn
#

I won't miss double starfire on ST with 0 haste on gear, but otherwise agreed

boreal brook
#

I did try the Nexus King's Command trinket tech on dimmy, but it felt bad losing most of the prepull procs to the travel RP, then having to heal in the amp p3.

It did feel super consistent compared to other trinkets though

indigo barn
#

I just played Voidcore in the end, Antena too rng sometimes

#

especially P3

boreal brook
#

Same same,

But voidcore is also RNG

lofty depot
#

funny timing bug

boreal brook
#

🤯

#

I will say, it raised my damage floor, even playing it suboptimally.

But they peak was also lower for me.

It was just a hell of a lot more consistent always having the primary when you wanted it.

lofty depot
#

why would the peak be lower

#

the int u get from command is higher than voidcore

sturdy terrace
#

do i understand correctly, that balance becomes more complicated with midnight? i was very happy, when i heard about the pruning, but it seems, that balance was hit the other way?

lofty depot
boreal brook
lofty depot
#

they added 1 button but basically removed the other from your st rotation

pseudo merlin
#

at the top end the new eclipse system in combination with KOTG cdr/banking effects creates probably way more potential yeah

lofty depot
boreal brook
#

lmfao

Not I, but I thought about it.

Voidcore can stack procs, and if you got double proc in cds it was better than Command.

But it was super low chance to get it at the right time

pseudo merlin
#

I would say that that creates way more room for turbo minmaxing

lofty depot
#

tragic

#

sir why are we not pooling asp at the end of ca

#

Because I'd decidedly mid at this game, and panicked 🤷

I recognized the name of the moonkin though
