#

that's the frame name for the default blizzard Essentials CDM

loud kettle
#

And discord literally won't let me post my thing

lucid olive
#

like if you do /fstack and hover your cdm it says EssentialCooldownViewer

lofty depot
#

Yea forgot discord racist

royal zenith
#

I mean, I will figure out by trial and error but it's just so bad rn

#

lots of others will just open these tools and be like

#

yeah okay

#

nope

lucid olive
#

I didn't figure out until this beta cycle how anchor from/anchor to actually works either

royal zenith
#

if addon want to blow up rn you need to make it extremely monkey-proof

lucid olive
#

Like if I want these icons there I anchor from bottom right to top right and then keep the X/Y at 0

royal zenith
#

πŸ’€

lucid olive
#

I used to just fuck around with X/Y until it lined up

royal zenith
#

and you've been working with these for a few weeks

loud kettle
#

Fix ur icons blud

royal zenith
#

AND have luckyone on quick dial

lucid olive
#

I only ask Lucky about random elvui stuff

lofty depot
#

Yea gamz is a dork on jah

lucid olive
#

he's busy enough

royal zenith
#

the /fstack stuff is also just way too hardcore for the average user

#

but I guess they also don't customize to that level

jade flume
#

Lucky busy bullying addon creators...

royal zenith
#

so it's okay??

#

Oiui when

lucid olive
#

Lucky also more careful now after he put something in guild chat and it ended up on reddit 6 hours after kekw

royal zenith
jade flume
#

Lmao

#

Snitches everywhere

royal zenith
#

wow is very interesting rn

lucid olive
#

The meme has become that every time he puts anything in guild chat we are just spam forwarding his post in the same channel

royal zenith
#

outside the game that is

lucid olive
#

That was back before the addon apocalypse too

jade flume
#

Yeah its kinda trash in the game

royal zenith
jade flume
#

They dumbed down all the specs i play

#

Im hyped for the expansion in 6 years tho

quiet drift
#

Bamkin became harder

jade flume
#

When they announce anti pruning

jade flume
#

Bamkin maybe ye

#

Disc is horrendous tho

#

The devs might need to consider different hobbies maybe

royal zenith
#

I dont have my favorite dh emoji anymore..

jade flume
#

Focus on the housing

#

Maybe they moved the devs from call of duty or something

royal zenith
#

well they are advertising with housing so yeah

lucid olive
#

Guilty shares his Grid2 profile on WoWhead, and if you open the bbcode for his whole UI & Macros page then you see the profile is like 3 times the length of the rest of the page

royal zenith
#

maybe we'll get good gameplay in the last expansion

jade flume
#

Wish they didnt touch the classes at all

#

And only did the housing

loud kettle
royal zenith
#

I made this though WICKED

lucid olive
#

I just thought it was really funny seeing the Grid2 profile just skyrocket the character count

loud kettle
#

(Ctrl a sometimes) ctrl c ctrl v

vapid anvil
#

is MDT count wrong in magistars terrace right now? I did a 100% dung and we were off like 3 % but I know we pulled everything

royal zenith
#

read it looq

#

all of it

#

or else

lucid olive
jade flume
#

I cant, its too pixelated

royal zenith
#

use AI..

lucid olive
#

If MDT needs updating then I assume Nnoggie has some support or feedback channel

royal zenith
#

[enhance]

vapid anvil
jade flume
#

Im anti ai

vapid anvil
#

even on beta its normally correct im just curious if anyone else has noticed it

jade flume
#

Aint gonna have dumbass robots do my work

royal zenith
#

rip, no wow add-ons for you

lucid olive
jade flume
#

We need wow addon no ai stickers

lucid olive
#

because there's no point in using MDT for beta..

jade flume
#

So we know which addons are clean

vapid anvil
minor anchor
#

You guys dont hand code your Addons?

royal zenith
#

I mean the count can be wrong, if bliz changes mobs/count

#

need to inform le MDT

lucid olive
#

and counts change weekly on beta

#

so it's kinda expected

royal zenith
#

yeah I didn't wanna say frequently

lucid olive
#

You can find Nnoggie's feedback discord linked on the bottom of the MDT description on cforge or wago

#

I would go and ask in there instead, much more likely to find someone who had used the addon on beta

dusk nacelle
#

so kinda newbie question here but do i press CA immediately after my eclipse window is over to start the next eclipse and then use hard cast eclipse until another charge comes back of CA?

lucid olive
#

Ideally you wanna send CA right as your Eclipse ends yes, but what do you mean use hard cast Eclipse

royal zenith
#

seems there's already a comment about seat and magister's spell data missing

#

soooo he's probably working on those

#

boomie becoming glorified customer support for all addons

lucid olive
#

I blame Arctic

royal zenith
#

might even become worse on release

#

unironically

#

cause that will bring in most (new) players

potent cargo
#

tell em fuck off

lucid olive
#

yeah that's why the new resources channel has UI stuff

potent cargo
dusk nacelle
royal zenith
potent cargo
#

but also bro who is using mdt let alone on beta

#

you guys plan pulls?

#

i just press moonfire

royal zenith
#

fuck no

minor anchor
#

(new) players think there are no more addons we are safe for a week atleast until they catch up

royal zenith
#

dratnos weekly mdt route at the highest of possibility

#

(imported)

#

(not following it)

dusk nacelle
#

could it in theory go CA cast shit -> CA cast more shit -> eclipse cast more -> eclipse cast even more CA is back up

lucid olive
#

Generally you probably wanna send CA whenever you're out of Eclipse for more Eclipse uptime but you also wanna plan it around your other cooldowns that line up

dusk nacelle
#

i guess what i'm trying to figure out is how to chain eclipses correctly i think i will just have to practice it more

#

yeah like in the guide you can hold sometimes because of another CD being ready soon

lucid olive
#

As long as you are not overcapping on charges then you're fine

dusk nacelle
#

gotcha

minor anchor
#

I like CA -> Eclipse-> Eclipse->CA on the opener RN

lofty depot
minor anchor
#

Trees both CA's

royal zenith
#

what do you mean if he wanted to

craggy sonnet
#

you can do it with cdmc as well

royal zenith
#

never read luckyone's twitter??

craggy sonnet
#

tracking your trinket that is

royal zenith
#

man's a drama queen...

#

:)

dusk nacelle
#

ah i see

lofty depot
lucid olive
#

I don't really consider the 2 charges of Eclipse outside of using the extra floating charge to overlap with Force of Nature

lofty depot
lucid olive
#

Eclipse is just a 32 second cooldown you want to use at 90%~ish Astral Power

royal zenith
lucid olive
#

and the extra charge talent makes it so you have a floating charge to align with treants

lofty depot
#

Which means u ca 2nd trees

lucid olive
#

bounteous

minor anchor
#

Yeah they are but you lose like 2 seconds on Eclipse CD no?

lucid olive
#

trees are 1m

lofty depot
#

If u play silly talent

lucid olive
#

early spring is silly

#

less dam

minor anchor
#

OH

#

Control of the Dream works on Eclipse

lucid olive
#

no it doesnt

minor anchor
#

oh

lofty depot
#

This guy is taking my build

#

I said bot good first grr

#

Also... Need to figure out some maff

loud kettle
#

Just sim it

lofty depot
#

Yea maybe if I was a mage

minor anchor
#

I have raidbots in my head

craggy sonnet
royal zenith
#

thats the problem....

#

think it's arc

#

and bcdm

#

hows cell anyway, are they creating some frames I can use in midnight?

maiden pasture
#

we're so back chat PogO Trinket buffs and defensives back where i want

royal zenith
#

or not continuing?

minor anchor
#

No eclipse bar, but as buff square?

#

Odd choice chief

lucid olive
#

royal zenith
#

#

sadge

loud kettle
royal zenith
#

party/raid frames were nice for cell sad

craggy sonnet
#

but its not discontinued

minor anchor
#

AP bar is fugly, with the monotone boring ass blue washed out colour. The texture of the base blizzard ui where you CANT tell how much u have or if its enough for a spender so you have to play on vibes is true beauty

craggy sonnet
#

just a bit slow on the updates

royal zenith
#

yeah no comms and slow on updates means not likely good for when the exp actually hits

#

which means plan b basically

#

for now

maiden pasture
craggy sonnet
#

well, the comms were that its likely gonna come out around release

#

but its been a few weeks ago. just no confirmation if we are still on track for that

royal zenith
#

aight we'll see

craggy sonnet
#

but you have 3 more weeks from release anyways

royal zenith
#

just trying to avoid shit like grid2 and what not like the plague

minor anchor
#

Check out that texture HOLY

potent cargo
# maiden pasture where can i find

if you find the old skullflower ui elvui edit and download it then get the texture file and edit it into the sharedmedia my media library u can use it globally

#

its just a nice soft gradient

royal zenith
#

can it replace skin for default frames

potent cargo
#

prolly

#

if you have something that hooks and lets it overwrite

royal zenith
#

meh

meager storm
#

dg terraria calamity server when?

lofty depot
#

terraria before board game night?

meager storm
#

doing my first run on master death mode Smile holy

#

#

blizzard should hire some calamity dev lowkey

#

even the dps meter is better

potent cargo
#

the mod packs for em?

#

oh you mentioned calamity

#

im shit at terraria but wanna try calamity at some point

#

i like watching ppl play it pogg pogg

meager storm
#

i will do infernum after since they rework all the ai again

#

but wanted to do base calamity first

lofty depot
#

meager storm

craggy sonnet

So that's a claude summary or what

lofty depot
#

#

craggy sonnet
#

Man, why are you talking in riddles. It's too late for that over here

#

You got it tho

lofty depot
#

#

how is that a riddle

#

r u dumb

maiden pasture
lucid olive
#

nah i made a mage so i could have arctic test something

maiden pasture
#

holy shit

#

thats a lot of scrolling

lucid olive
#

then i got bored waiting for lust to come back so i went and bought some items

maiden pasture
#

for the balance resources

lucid olive
#

yeah its all the UI shit

#

i'm gonna remove it eventually when the whole addon situation settles

maiden pasture
#

this feels so unnecessary

lucid olive
#

yeah but you never know man

maiden pasture
#

i dont think any kind of resources should include a bag addon either ICANT

lucid olive
#

its a good addon innit

sudden pawn
#

idk if you know this but they just worked really really hard to make it so you dont need addons

#

you probably wouldnt get it

#

elitist scum

maiden pasture
#

idk guess just my take but feels out of place in a class discord resources page

#

the massive moonfire cant stay either man wtf is that πŸ’€

#

whoever made the decision to have massive class icon at the top, and then a banner with the same icon and the spec name has never worked in cx in their life

if i would want to get a few crests to upgrade the rest of my gear (i havent played in 4-5months) is kotg or coe better now in m+? i copied some trees from wowhead. but i feel like kotg might be better. is this a illusion?

lucid olive

the difference is negligible you can play whichever one you want

I'm new to boomy. with elune's chosen do I ever press wrath ?

yea, one hero talent increases stafire dmg by 100% on st

that's all I needed to know

I haven't played it since SL where you bounced between the eclipses

hes not debating it

potent cargo
#

everyone should be strongly considering an alt

#

if your raid has another source of versa buff

#

πŸ™‚

lofty depot
#

i will stand strong

exotic perch
#

i will be depressed and enjoy farm

lucid olive
#

good class

#

watch 2 warlocks be mandatory because of gate again

lofty depot
#

i mean right now ur fighting guardian and resto being good

lucid olive
#

yeah the class is dogshit

#

4 specs with 1 raid spot

exotic perch
#

bear is great wdym

#

doing the same dps as a dps

#

could run 2 of them in world first for that insane dps

lofty depot
#

that just means i can dps as a guardian

#

and not press taunt

#

think about that

lucid olive
lofty depot
#

that doesnt make sense

warm briar
#

As soon as guardian outdpses a mage, it’s going to get swatted like an orange house cat

delicate perch
magic orchid
#

starsurge or starfall in 2 target ?

lofty depot
#

assumption, starfall

round field
#

counter argument

#

there is currently no situation in the game where you fight 2 targets so im gonna say neithe

grim mirage
#

Some bosses on dung like Floodgate or Stonevault ^^
Dunno if there will be next season

round field
#

🎣

magic orchid
#

I'm on beta

#

there's a 2 target boss in a dungeon

#

that's why I asked

grim mirage
#

If i'm not mistaken there is also a 2 boss raid but dunno if it's possible to cleave

potent cargo
#

starfall w/ starweaver prolly but also who the fk knows

#

need sims

#

depends on lots of shit

potent cargo
#

even on w/e that boss was in vault of incarnates raid you could pad the fk out of starfall forever or you could just surge and push boss / kill adds on proper timings

vale pebble
#

unless u for some reason play opposite sides of the room which i dont think u do

vale pebble
#

but also depends on ur talents

#

but if ur m+ing u prob have fall talents so just fall

delicate perch
#

if you gotta ask just pad who cares

potent cargo
#

tru n real

#

can just bs most ppl on this game "i get funnel"

for hc ur for sure close

#

Hey everyone! I haven’t been able to test the new playstyle of boomie recently. How is the community feeling overall ? Is it better now are you guys enjoying it ? I don’t care for numbers cause obviously tuning.
Thanks !

cloud citrus
#

shooting stars pumps

jade flume
#

Which is not unfun but feels like it lacks a bit of depth

#

Lean back kind of spec

potent cargo
#

a spec is fun if it tops meters

#

so by that logic we are not fun

#

πŸ™‚

sudden flame
jade flume
#

Thats kinda true too

#

I was almost top 5 on dimmy tho which is basically topping meters(shooting star orb did 30% of my dmg)

honest citrus
#

With the new tierset and more stats/gear wouldn’t we scale a bit better?
What do the sims say ?

honest citrus
grim mirage
#

I you manage your windows well you almost can be 100% uptime eclipse

craggy sonnet
#

not true

honest citrus
#

Ahh really ? Can you elaborate? Like how would you manage your windows ? I guess after incarn not going straight into both eclipses and wait ?

cloud citrus
#

If the fight lasts like 2 minutes sure

#

but as the fight gets longer your out of eclipse for longer

potent cargo
#

idk bro im gonna be suicidal with 0 haste

#

our asp gen is already fucking rinsed

cloud citrus
#

Just proc more surges

honest citrus
#

Any idea if KOTG is gonna be best in all content ?

craggy sonnet
potent cargo
#

but we havent event hit xpac yet no sims

honest citrus
#

Makes it less boring

craggy sonnet
#

yeah, sadly that part is heavily dependent on tuning

potent cargo
#

well, in m+ you spam 2 buttons

#

and in raid you spam 2 buttons

#

and thats about it

craggy sonnet
#

so it is somewhat reasonable to assume its gonna stay the way it was

#

but we have no guarantee

potent cargo
#

i think we are probably the simplest spec in the game

#

at this point

#

so... boring idk

craggy sonnet
grim mirage
#

Maybe i'm wrong but this loop can go "forever"

craggy sonnet
#

can it

#

ecl1 cd comes up at 47s
ecl2 cd comes up at 79s
ecl3 cd comes up at 111s
ecl4 cd comes up at 143s

#

not sure if you just ignored charges not cooling down simultaneously or something

potent cargo
#

CA is a 2 min cd no

craggy sonnet
#

oh, that as well yea

potent cargo
#

i can barely read the spreadsheet its too fkn bright

vale pebble
#

it cant loop forever no

#

u brick 15s at 7minutes

#

or so

#

depends what talents u have and how long u pool

potent cargo
#

starlord 20s too u prolly dont wanna just rip the eclipse on cd idfk

vale pebble
vale pebble
potent cargo
#

pool up after dumping if u play that dogshite talent

vale pebble
#

on startlord end

potent cargo
#

or pool up just to rip for boat

#

etc etc

vale pebble
#

yea u rip for boat

#

and starlord

craggy sonnet
#

And maybe cosmos and wait for solstice to drop

#

And who knows

#

Thoughts on spending or risking to munch cosmos procs outside ecl?

potent cargo
#

been thinking that the last few weeks tbh

#

i think below a certain point you just gotta spend it

cloud citrus
#

jsut get biggest shooting star dam

potent cargo
#

love getting a touch proc on prepull

#

just send the fatty opener

outside of eclipse

On a timeline where i tried to squizz maximum eclipse uptime on a 495s combat duration is 68% uptime eclipse (only rule to have CA/eclipse for FoE or treant)
Still could be full of mistakes since i'm a noob πŸ™‚

#

Never played boomkin before so i don't know if it would feel bad compared to what used to be

brazen mango
#

Well, I have the impression that now you must use big cds with Alignment, and always make sure every other ones get boosted by a classic eclipse, and then, just don't overcap stacks

jaunty blaze
#

So basically like you always did OK

brazen mango
#

Yup^^

lone root
#

Coing back after 2 month out of the game, how are we doing gameplay wise ? Feels good ? Same as before but eclipse is an ability now ?

jaunty blaze
#

If you liked it in tww you will probably like it in midnight

#

It's more or less the same feeling

lone root
#

Been ok with generic cycle, hated the dryad part on last season. Felt useless outside of CD, burst last 3 seconds..
Hope we shine this time

Every spec is braindead

pseudo merlin

not moonkin

royal zenith

demo lock will probably rule supreme

pseudo merlin

crazy prediction

royal zenith

is the max tierlist finished yet

#

so I can decide on my future in wow

pseudo merlin

You’re at least gonna try season 1

only reason I will try it is cause I already paid for the expansion

Classic sunk cost fallacy

royal zenith
#

literally

normal pilot
#

deux is housing main

eager raft
#

Idk as long as fight design is still good I can get over all the changes they’ve made

royal zenith
#

maybe there's another big plus

#

multiple raids instead of 1 big one

#

aka shorter, focused moments, progging

#

(and less need to log in)

royal zenith
minor anchor
#

well...

#

That's pretty deep.

eager raft
#

The separate raids seem to just be for story telling/RP reasons

#

If anything it’ll be inconvenient to have to spend reclear time getting people from one raid to another

royal zenith
#

Giving me more reasons to quit 🀝

lofty depot
#

Split raids wasting my god damn time flying around when I could be pulling the boss

craggy sonnet
#

Split raids pretty decent for lockouts

#

So sounds like a win to me honestly

normal pilot
#

i guess OS really really needed that 5% nerf

meager storm
#

wuh

eager raft
#

When progging on the quel danas bosses you can extend that lockout and still reclear the other raid

lofty depot
#

good, fuck the pvpers

craggy sonnet
normal pilot
#

hm they forgot to add flare to the 10% ap boost from dryad's dance

lofty depot
#

OS stonks in shambles

royal zenith
#

weaver next

lofty depot
#

NO grr

quiet drift
#

Dryads cause MOST of your Astral power generation to be increased by 10%.

#

They threw darts to decide which are buffed

lofty depot
#

Next patch they're gonna change MOST to SOME and start deleting interactions

normal pilot
#

pretty sure they made it double dip on wrath

quiet drift
#

lmao

normal pilot
#

even more reason to wrath spam

quiet drift
#

eclipse enter with 0 AP

#

for optimal gains

lucid olive
meager storm
lucid olive
#

I remember me and Folty on alpha looking at what gets applied first of %cost reduction and flat cost reduction but I don't remember what we found out

normal pilot
#

too bad no WA so you can't get decimals anymore

lucid olive
#

I found the message from back then

#

it was about the AP decimals always rounding up

normal pilot
#

it buffs the base 6 to 6.6 because that's not on wrath, then it buffs wrath spell another 10% so you get 7.26

drifting nova
#

rounding up? like the tax man

lucid olive
normal pilot
#

well the display always rounded down

#

hard to tell what's being kept without a WA tho

lucid olive
#

I don't think AP values are secret anymore?

#

maybe @pallid bay knows better than me

normal pilot
#

oh did htye nerf sotf, it's only 40% now

lucid olive
#

yeah

#

Also removed the "Starfire gens more AP up to 5 targets" thing

lofty depot
#

Nerfed it twice

#

Was 50%

#

No ap good

pallid bay
#

except cost

lucid olive
#

unfortunate

#

I guess the thing they made not secret is being able to display the value at all

deft thorn
#

Did they change starfire animation or am i delulu?

tranquil dagger
#

Question now with midnight changes to eclipse.
CA is true astral is it not? What happens if you proc double eclipse now with talent, is it dipping into astral or does that only buff nature/arcane?

#

When you do a normal eclipse that is, and getting both benefits

normal pilot
#

wdym 'true astral'

tranquil dagger
#

Like, CA is buffing our astral damage, but does the proc do that aswell?

normal pilot
#

so 'nature' 'arcane' and 'astral' none of these mean anything at all and have no affect on damage

#

solar eclipse buffs a list of spells, and lunar buffs another list of spells

#

things like surge are on both lists so they both buff it

lucid olive
#

mmm people learning damage type is cosmetic flavor text

normal pilot
#

if you proc both regardless of source, you get benefit

lofty depot
normal pilot
#

CA itself doesn't buff any spells. it's the eclipse that comes with it that does

tranquil dagger
#

So, a just for shits and giggles, Fury of Elune, had as much benifit you being in Solar Eclipse as in Lunar eclipse, since astral damage doesnt care for type?

normal pilot
#

no becaues it's on both solar and lunar list

#

it doing 'astral' damage is irrelevant

lucid olive
#

your example is correct but astral damage/nature damage/arcane damage doesn't matter

normal pilot
#

balance currently has no buffs that buff your damage, only spell-specific buffs

lucid olive
#

Solar Eclipse and Lunar Eclipse both buff Fury of Elune damage

#

and being in CA or proccing Total Eclipse gives both buffs

normal pilot
#

some other specs do have true buffs that buff school damage

tranquil dagger
#

Yeah, so I guess I should reformulate my question. Eclipse procc = CA eclipse buff? πŸ™‚

lucid olive
#

wdym eclipse proc

normal pilot
#

it's all the same eclipse, there's no difference how you get the eclipse

tranquil dagger
lucid olive
#

Total Eclipse gives both Eclipses as well yes

#

the difference between it and CA is the 10% haste from CA

#

or the additional crit from Incarn

tranquil dagger
#

Yea that's what I though

lucid olive
#

Or the cost reduction from elunes guidance

tranquil dagger
#

I guess it's too early for how to play around it or if at all

#

still waiting for final sims

lucid olive
#

your rotation doesn't change inside CA anyway

#

so you won't really play around it

royal zenith
#

oh yeah?

#

watch me

tranquil dagger
#

πŸ˜„

lucid olive
#

Total Eclipse also not a stacked deck it's just full random whenever you Eclipse

tranquil dagger
#

Yeah I'm just thinking, but that's for sims to decide, if you get a total eclipse you go into a more "dump" scenario than a wrath/starlord maintenance scenario.

lucid olive
#

you want to dump AP in Eclipse regardless

#

enter Eclipse with high AP and exit with low AP

#

then rebuild AP before hitting Eclipse again

tranquil dagger
#

I'm definitly overthinking the changes πŸ™‚

royal zenith
#

everybody is

#

dw about it

#

true theorycrafting

normal pilot
#

apprently minor moon was doing too much damage too so they nerfed it by 5%

lofty depot
#

Ur always building asp outside eclipse to dump asp inside eclipse

lucid olive
#

think the only difference proccing total eclipse is on AoE

#

changing up target counts for wrath/starfire

lofty depot
#

Down from 6 targets to 4 yeayeyya

tranquil dagger
#

whilst enhancement and frostDK do near perfect damage using onebutton rotation smh

#

gaslighting ofc

normal pilot
#

i'd expect most specs will do good damage with just one button

lucid olive
#

wonder what target count it's worth sending the instant Starfire from apex talent

#

have they made one button use Eclipse yet

lucid olive
lucid olive
#

started pogging when i saw [druid] commit

maybe later today

royal zenith
#

dreamgrove is a person?!

lofty depot
#

U forgot about resto, tragic

normal pilot
#

i'm like 70% way down the diff

royal zenith
lucid olive
lofty depot
#

Sends it to dreamgrove first then to simc yeyaea

lucid olive
#

the APLs are stored on Dreamgrove github

#

then SimC pulls them

lofty depot

Dreamgrove is an entity

Only 2 specs simming about 100k st

kind of annoying the default loadout doens't include hero trees

are those sims lvl 80 with just greens on or what

lucid olive

yes

yeah tier set will save us

aren't ppl doing like 10% below avg on current logs or something

yesterday i've done some sims and elune chosen + guidance, sims higher than convoke, its that fake data or its better?

there are no sims that work

lofty depot
#

The big red thing that says sim no work

errant flint
#

Is there an amount of AP I should have ready for to use with eclipse?

lucid olive
#

90% ish

#

close to capping but not capped

errant flint
#

ty ty

royal zenith
#

if it's not exactly 90%, you will do 100% less damage

#

so be careful

granite moat
#

so, are we out of the god damn bin yet?

errant flint

no its cozy here

granite moat
#

is feral in a better place?

i may just roll that while they fix us

#

Whats the best method to learn how talents interact with one another?

#

Besides reading them

jaunty blaze
#

practice makes perfect

royal zenith
#

abstract thinking is the best method

normal pilot
#

you'll prolly need to ask around in spec discords

#

tooltips can't really be trusted

royal zenith
#

ask a lot of why questions

jaunty blaze
#

why

royal zenith
#

and understanding

jaunty blaze
#

why does it do that

royal zenith
#

cause knowledge is power!

lucid olive
#

6th

royal zenith
#

nr 1 is paying for coaching

#

(that's a joke)

lucid olive
#

reading spelldata, asking class discord, DMing someone, watching twitch stream and asking, hitting dummies forever are all good

normal pilot
#

even dummies are kind of bad at times since they don't always function correctly

lucid olive
#

true

#

"why is my CA 10 seconds duration now is bugged???"

normal pilot
#

the game's just not made to be transparent to the player, that's not their development goal

royal zenith
#

tbh this game has a shitton of patterns

#

it's best to start seeing them and ask direct questions

#

balance is builder spender spec

errant flint
#

I ask because I found a good reddit post (I know crazy right) on how to improve and the steps it took to get there. The poster used feral as a dps referrence. One of the suggestions was to learn about talent interactions.

#

Regardless of the feral pov post I thought the steps were pretty decent.

#

As it broke it down step by step

jaunty blaze
#

i mean other than reading about it the only real step is playing the game

#

there isnt a shortcut to experience

normal pilot
#

asking in discord about specifics is prolly the only real way you can get detailed interactions

royal zenith
#

ackshually

errant flint
#

Not looking for a shortcut. Prog doesnt happen in day.

normal pilot
#

tbf playing the game woin't get you all the correct interactions

#

it'll get you enough to do the content

#

and interactions often don't matter

eager raft
royal zenith
#

why

jaunty blaze
#

yes but everything other than that i consider "reading" about it

eager raft
#

We can both play it

jaunty blaze
#

even tho its a lot more than just that

eager raft
#

That’s what I’m playing for s1

royal zenith
#

not a valud argument

#

butchered those words

normal pilot
#

talent interaction is prolly fairly low on the importance of things

royal zenith
#

but I cba to fix it..

tired granite
normal pilot
#

learning fights is far more important

eager raft
#

It’s ok I know what u meant deux

tired granite
#

but i also don't think this is remotely useful to improving

eager raft
#

Remember when we were both hunters

#

We can both be demo locks now

tired granite
#

there's so few situations where some niche talent interaction is relevant

#

record yourself playing

#

and everytime you fuck up

#

rewatch it

#

and work out why you fucked up

royal zenith
#

is the question to improve on a specific spec

#

or to learn more about the spec

#

question mark

normal pilot
#

ya class/spec isn't actually that important vs encounter

errant flint
royal zenith
#

yezzir

tired granite
#

Not really the question

errant flint
#

and yea cant be vibing mechanics, have to learn them

tired granite
#

Is your goal to be better at the game

#

Or know more about the spec

errant flint
#

can i do both?

tired granite
#

Sure but it's different methodologies

royal zenith
#

^

normal pilot
#

you can absolutley vibe class/spec mechanics

#

you'll find less room to vibe encounter mechanics the higher you go

errant flint
#

Ok I get you. I feel honestly I have mechanics learning down pretty well regardless of spec.

#

I just lack the spec knowledge to improve my outcome

lofty depot
#

Talent interactions vs knowing the relative rotation

errant flint
#

I wish I was a faceroll dpser and fart out max dps

lofty depot
#

Type shit

tired granite
#

Spec capability is predominantly just playing the video game

#

Just put in reps

lofty depot
#

Learning ur rotation will net u more DPS, than learning that cosmos procs hail of stars which is solstice+3s

errant flint
#

im not sure if useless but i like to know why my rotation is my rotation or priority*

tired granite
#

Read an apl

eager raft
lofty depot
#

Real the prio list, then ask questions about it

#

Don't read the apl

errant flint
#

wait

lofty depot
#

Lose ur mind over some dumbahit

errant flint
#

both saying opposite things lol

royal zenith
lofty depot
#

He's a feral

errant flint
eager raft
#

if you know what to do, the β€œwhy” is pretty intuitive

lofty depot
#

He doesn't read apl

royal zenith
#

you can read the apl, but it's very technical

#

but

lucid olive
royal zenith
#

it does have a lot of if's/then's

#

which is basically prio list but in code language

lofty depot
#

Gamz copy and paste the whirling stars variable go

royal zenith
#

(which also kinda gives you info on why you press what button)

lofty depot
#

Go ahead and read that shit

eager raft
#

Just wait til guide writers turn the apl into the prio list. Blindly reading the apl aint gonna teach you much

royal zenith
#

I think Tendy is also trying to understand concepts of the spec

#

it's a bit bigger than just the spec

eager raft
#

Yeah that stuff is hard to learn through studying imo

lofty depot
#

Ask questions >

lucid olive
#

watching moonkin reroller in MDI vibe their way into a +23 puts it into perspective how little it matters

meager storm
#

i have never looked at a prio list even when i was learning boomy, just vibed 20 heroic runs getting used to the spec Smile

eager raft
#

You learn through osmosis of being around the community

#

And asking questions

#

And reading other people’s questions and answers

lofty depot
#

Go hit the dummy and ask questions

lucid olive
#

but then you ask a question and have kekkers answer

tired granite
lucid olive
#

and you lost braincells

lofty depot
#

Best advice on gasd

lofty depot
royal zenith
#

I learned more from studying logs, apl and asking chicken / oi direct questions :3

eager raft
#

it’s just putting it into simpler more readable terms

royal zenith
#

(and or cotti when he's blasting)

errant flint
#

I got you one better dopamine deficiency

lofty depot
eager raft
#

Ig by definition it’s obfuscation

tired granite
errant flint
lofty depot
#

Cotti is a cheater

#

Can't copy

lofty depot
#

Too good

eager raft
#

Obfuscate kinda implies the opposite generally

#

That it makes it less readable

lucid olive
lofty depot
#

Remember Nick playing boomkin for stix asking what eclipse to be in

#

Good times

tired granite
royal zenith
#

in all fairness, the prio list is a result of someone interpreting the APL and trying to make it more readable

errant flint
#

meta rerollers in m+ are rats

royal zenith
#

doesn't mean it gives you tools to understand the game better

lofty depot
#

Wrong nick

lucid olive
#

I wish I could just straight rip the APL onto the guide word for word

royal zenith
#

(cause it can also just be straight up wrong)

#

or not complete

tired granite
lofty depot
#

Oh, true my fault

errant flint
lucid olive
#

its not that bad until you get lost in the sauce

royal zenith
#

just a skill as anything else

lofty depot
#

Uhh, the apl sometimes has conditions that it cares about that u can then think about....

#

U then can know maybe why it does it

errant flint
#

if you when you at not there and read think when do

lucid olive
#

just don't let clankz anywhere near it and you'll be fine

lofty depot
#

But for ur sake of sanity u should just ask questions lol

royal zenith
#

I do have a question for you @errant flint

royal zenith
#

do you know the difference between feral and balance

lofty depot
lucid olive
#

your sim might lose like 1.4% damage but you will be spared a migraine

royal zenith
#

if you compare the 2 specs?

royal zenith
#

apart from one being a cat one being an owl

#

I KNEW IT!

lofty depot
#

No it gains 2% ezpz

#

For free

errant flint

can't read, or don't want to

Well the apl is code....

normal pilot
#

just ask grok about the apl

lofty depot
#

That one variable is longer than frost mage apl

errant flint
royal zenith
#

I dunno it's dumb to already decide for someone else instantly that they shouldn't read the apl

lucid olive
#

Not me sending 1000s of daily questions to Oi figuring out wtf this stuff meant

royal zenith
#

give em options

lofty depot
#

I think it's a better use of a new players time to not read the apl

lucid olive
#

reading APL without context can be kinda weird

royal zenith
#

they can answer for themselves if they want to do that or don't

lucid olive
#

I know one of those "I make free UIs for every spec!!!" people that will read the APL for every spec and decide what's worth tracking based on it

royal zenith
#

and tendy already did as an example

lucid olive
#

and I had to tell him that you should be tracking Dreamstate even if it's not mentioned much in the APL

tired granite

Better than what most of them do
