maybe some simc hotfix or whatever

nimble tangle
#

i gotta say vessel is truly ass

#

imagine you have to run around to collect souls AGAIN

merry ibex
#

So is it possible to craft 246 gear without a spark just using 80 crests? I saw some people talking about that

jaunty blaze
#

yes

nimble tangle
#

you could actually craft 3 pieces 246lvl gears

#

assuming you farmed 300 crests

jaunty blaze
#

its not very crest efficient but its useful to craft 2 items with embellishments

#

that is assuming you mostly have 240 items from m0 ofc

lofty depot
nimble tangle
#

only if i ever no need to run around

#

In the compendium opener, is the starfall there in case we have a free one or we do it anyway cause of meteorites ?

#

i mean it kinda has to right

lucid olive
#

but until then it's not accurate for anything

potent cargo
#

arms has to get buffed

#

but itll be like 10% aura

#

to get them off the floor and solidly in 4th last

eager raft
#

which wont be anywhere near enough

potent cargo
#

behind specs nobody plays

wild dune
#

slam still existing past pruning

#

is a bad joke

potent cargo
#

its wild bc i swear slam is just

#

never a spell you've wanted to press

wild dune
#

nobody likes pressing it

#

even if it does dam

potent cargo
#

even when you made an entire fkn build around pressing it

#

should legit just be ms, overpower, exe, and csmash/warbreaker and move on with life

#

make it so the gameplay loop is around cranking a huge bleed explode with skullsplitter snapshot or some shit

blissful star
#

It's normal that i sim 50k with boomie? while my udk sims close to 70k

potent cargo
#

gg e z

#

yes

we are in the pits

in full gear we will prolly be 40k-50k behind

as of current

How is Druid Balance's rotation now?

heavy iris

aren't sims still not accurate

vital hound

we're getting big buff

#

for sure

potent cargo
#

sims might not be 100%

#

but like

#

within 5%

#

we are still shit

#

there isn't some massive damage increase hidden that just hasn't been found yet

eager raft
#

no amount of accuracy is making boomy look strong rn

potent cargo
#

the spec isn't complx enough for that

teal sphinx

#

Is there no guide yet until season 1 for now?

potent cargo
kindred token
#

^ I did

blissful star

Boomie needs like 20% buff

and thats the conclusion u came to

im gonna proc

this is pretty interesting

eager raft
#

oh

kindred token
#

Yeah, but what are we supposed to play for rotation now?

teal sphinx
eager raft
#

you surprised me

potent cargo
#

you go to the wowhead guide

#

and refer to the rotation section

which is in the pins

Some guy asked about crafting a weapon now and if it would be a waste and I told him it would be fine, and dude started going off about "if you craft a weapon now youre a fuckin idiot for wasting crests and fucking yourself over" and after asking him why his only argument was "there is no current content you need the ilvl for"

jolly delta
#

bring paper back

eager raft
#

talkin bout "youre wasting crests"

#

when it costs zero crests

potent cargo
#

its smart not to craft but honestly I think 99.9% of playerbase could just craft rn and it will have no material impact anyway

#

noobs craft dumb shit it'll fix itself in the next 3-4 months

#

anyone raiding is prolly crafting a weppy

dense steeple
potent cargo
#

ye

dense steeple
#

Because even if one drops

#

They still have a second weapon to wear

#

And this dude just didnt get it

edgy quarry
#

However we didn't take meteorites in the ST build you putted on wowhead ? Is it still worth it to use starfall on this proc instead of starsurge ?

eager raft
#

im prob waiting to see if i get myth weap in first m+ vault before i do any spark crafts

potent cargo
edgy quarry
#

Does starfall create more proc I guess ??

potent cargo
#

since it has higher chance to give u starsurge proc

#

than starsurge gives to starfall

#

or some shit

#

i just woke up

dense steeple
#

When I made the argument that larias put into his guide he called me stupid with a dogshit argument so I called larias in to tell him hus argument was stupid and he should delete the guide garf

lofty depot
dense steeple
#

Yeah

#

Thats how you know im not in that elite group

#

I didnt do either

potent cargo
#

its kinda fun swapping feral every few tiers for culture

#

bc you got less mechanics

#

more dps

lucid olive
#

real

#

keep it fresh

lofty depot
#

Stix prog u could mangle taunt tech

#

Oh the good days

#

Maybe we should do that more often so we get less mechanics mmhm mmhm

potent cargo
#

if feral was in the 130s

#

i would consider

#

(or I will do it on farm)

#

amirdrassil feral topping st dps by a fucking mile

lofty depot
#

Uhh, depends what gets changed right

potent cargo
#

was juice

#

dont wanna swap spec just to be middling still

lofty depot
#

See feral as the opposite problem but still usually doesn't do what rogue does

edgy quarry
# edgy quarry Ok thanks you are the best !! 🙂

It's sometimes quite hard. You get the Ascendant Eclipse proc (3 stacks), which leads to Starsurge, but at the same time, you might have a Touch of the Cosmos or Starweaver proc for Starfall. However, if you use Starfall, you consume your Ascendant Eclipse stacks. So, I guess when Ascendant Eclipse is active, you should use Starsurge no matter what other procs you have?

lofty depot
#

Feral was just as shit early dimmy prog as boomkin.

#

But it doesn't do the st rogue does

Love me some tech

edgy quarry

Oh wow, okay ! In my head, I’m thinking, 'Nooo, I’m going to lose my Starsurge' but I’ll follow your advice. I set a sound for Touch of the Cosmos and Starweaver so that every time I hear it, I press Starfall no matter what 🥲

lofty depot

Sound queuing rotation procs gotta be a new level of demented

#

Blizzard was wrong to let us have freedom of expression

# weak sedge n on tues

IF you want a boost going into N, you can spend 80 vet crests crafting a 2h staff ye. You're going to replace it instantly but if you dont have time before then and want to make sure you're contributing to the team, its a fine play to make. there isnt much else to do

they're two different item types

Not veterinarian one

can u not craft a staff with 2 sparks without crests?

You can

isnt it vet ilvl?

oh

sour rampart

you just craft it at 259 with no crests

Should you reapply moonfire and sunfire before every eclipse

sunfire yes

sunfire u refresh regardless

moonfire, trees will take care of

it's potentially less bad now to refresh in eclipse

should still do it before for good measure

less bad 👀

tbh im not enjoying this whole eclipse active ability

potent cargo

so you prefer to cast two slow starfires to get into solar eclipse

instead of an instant press button

grim crater

well, dreamstate kinda helped with that XD

#

nah but for real, my issue is just with the time

and not necessarily being able to have 100% uptime

but i mean, might just depend. I'm still playing EC gonna go into KOTG now to see.

suppose u can learn how to play it if ur having trouble

#

i mean... i tanking is far easier kek

drifting nova
#

I hated wildstalker with a passion as resto idk

maiden pasture
#

Resto omega piss easy in dungeons

rugged bobcat
maiden pasture
#

I think so

potent cargo
#

yes

#

its top tier

maiden pasture
#

Keep lifebloom up
Wild growth on cd
Swiftmend -> rejuv

#

And you are hard chilling

drifting nova
#

maybe if theres less cat I'll give resto another go

#

idk

rugged bobcat
maiden pasture
#

Yeah

maiden pasture
#

Even if you never got cat you still play wildstalker in dungeons it still does big healing

drifting nova
#

and I hated wildstalker

maiden pasture
#

It just also happens to do the most damage if you do to cat

#

Idk you like don't need to interact with wildstalker at all if you don't like it, full passive just end up healing more

Hey guys, sorry for interrupting, but i have an actual balance question 😄 As i didnt find anything on a quick google: Is it intended that free starsurges via star cascade don't trigger stellar amplification?

drifting nova
#

huh, thats a talent

silver steeple
#

Star Cascade is the Elune hero talent that procs free starsurges, so my thought was it should trigger stellar amplification (moar dot damage on targets hit by starsurge)

drifting nova
#

yeah it tracks, spose I never read the new hero line

silver steeple
#

Guess i'll ask again later when a bigger audience is online 🙂

drifting nova
#

cant even test it with the terrible blizzard tracker

silver steeple
#

It shows as a debuff on the target

#

(stellar amplification)

drifting nova
#

prob intentional but idk, it reads like it should work

#

cant be having free damage now can we

normal pilot
#

The balance version of star cascade is specifically coded to not proc anything

#

Intended or dev being careless impossible to tell with blizz quality

silver steeple
#

🥲

normal pilot
#

Also good chance dev doesn't even know that's how it works

#

I guess you can make a bug report but that's about it

silver steeple
#

Yea ^^ At least the wording on Stellar Amplification should be corrected then, something like 'Casting Starsurge on a target...'

normal pilot
#

That's too long some blizz devs think that will confuse ppl

silver steeple
#

hehe

normal pilot
#

Its better to be easy to understand than be correct

drifting nova
#

400 things to do before that

#

like some classes dont even use all the apex talent points

#

thats the real fun one

silver steeple
#

Now that i think about, guess i'll test (later) if convoke starsurges do apply that debuff

#

yea :<

normal pilot
#

Those are normal surges, as is the bear version of star cascade

#

Its just the balance one that doesn't proc

silver steeple
#

Ah ok, sounds like you actually know (technical) what you're talking about

#

thanks for your input then 🙂

grand ingot
#

does anyone know what the best overall talent build will be for raid? just the wowhead ones? or are they cooked

delicate perch
#

womp womp

potent cargo
#

well its a good thing it doesn't matter at all

delicate perch
#

some of us are in the trenches

potent cargo
#

all gear completely replaced in what

#

8 days?

lone turret
#

I know but feels unlucky xD

potent cargo
delicate perch
#

I think 14 if you mean m+

#

raid next week so some heroic though

potent cargo
#

u dont need to look at wowhead for that shit

#

well, all replaced next week anyway

delicate perch
#

do NOT give big gamz a click

potent cargo
#

if u do m0s right

delicate perch
#

true

potent cargo
#

even better u go to lorggs steal their cd timings too

#

as well as their build

grand ingot
#

yeah true. i was just thinking ahead of the curve XD

delicate perch
#

think CE instead

potent cargo
#

u can do whatever for aotc dont even need to play the game just go afk hit boss once

grand ingot
#

for week 1 lol

lone turret
normal pilot
#

wdym does it not work on midnight logs or something?

lone turret
#

At the moment you can select only manaforge raid

normal pilot
#

well ya there are no midnight raid logs since the raid isn't open

potent cargo
dull dust
#

any bets if those cheater guys go kill the end boss day 1 again

normal pilot
#

wdym cheaters they're just better at the game than blizz

loud kettle
#

Real

#

They're the ones with real skill

dull dust
sage axle
#

whats better

#

i could upgrade drums to max now for free i think cuz i got the crucible

#

I heard crucible is terrible so ill prob just upgrade drums and keep using it

sage axle
#

Really?

#

My ret friend told me it was trash

#

But hes not boomy so idk lol

#

So crucible is better than drums?

potent cargo
#

sim it

#

instead of trusting what ppl say on the internet

delicate perch
#

mistake 1 listening to a ret player

sage axle
#

true, I just dont really feel like simming this early lol

delicate perch
#

then just put on the cuter item who cares

sage axle
#

true lol

#

Was just curious if it was good or not

loud kettle
#

Honestly, your ret friend saying not to use it is evidence enough that you should

sage axle
#

Im pretty sure he just went off the stat gain, being half the drums proc, but he didnt take into account proc length and rpm

#

Im telling him hes wrong and now hes telling me theres a way to upgrade the trinket to make it better. I never heard of this. Is he bullshitting

#

Should I listen to him or? Dont feel like theres some quest chain to upgrade this random trinket lmao

jaunty blaze
#

You get upgrades where you bought it

#

Via some weekly quest system

#

The 3 points needed for that are fairly fast to get

spice roost
jaunty blaze
#

Yes but I hane no clue how much of an increase it is really

#

Sims assume you have the upgrade by default I think

#

They are checked on default

spice roost
#

ah i see ty

sick ruin
#

Should I play mushrooms on M0+ dungeons?

grand ingot
#

is there a macro to cast force of nature on your target? no like a cursor cast, but kind of like a target one?

novel socket
#

#showtooltip Grove Guardians
/use [@mouseover,help,nodead][help,nodead][@player] Grove Guardians

#

still does it on your mouse though but it will be no cursor

grand ingot
#

so you jsut have to have it over the hp bar?

round field
potent cargo
#

no

#

there is no way to target it at something

#

putting ur mouse over the health bar will have them spawn near you

#

or in the middle of nowhre

#

idk where ur health bar is

grand ingot
#

ah okay, so the cursor over on the boss then

potent cargo
#

no

#

well

#

over the boss, yes

#

the in game boss

#

not the boss frame

round field
#

on the floor where the boss is

potent cargo
#

yer

grand ingot
#

okay. gotcha. do you guys have any good macros for openers? or is it better to just do it yourself?

novel socket
#

if you press that macro it will cast them at your cursor... without the macro you have to press the skill, then left click on the ground where you want it

#

this takes out a click

round field
#

uh

#

why do u have

#

all those extra lines for no reason

#

just do @ cursor lmao

#

also as i said

novel socket
#

its an oldschool macro

round field
#

grove guardians and force of nature are not the same spell

novel socket
#

if you played back in vanilla, you would know

round field
#

i know how macros work thank you

potent cargo
#
#showtooltip
/cast [known:force of nature, @cursor] force of nature;
#

thats what i use

#

dont even need the known shit in there its just a conditional for when i had it sharing a bind with another spell

round field
#

you dont need help nodead player on a macro for a spell that targets the floor

novel socket
#

oh i linked the wrong one...

#

#showtooltip
/cast [@cursor]Force of Nature

round field
#

Oh really

potent cargo
#

is the floor dead

round field
#

yes

#

so in that case

#

the macro wouldnt work

novel socket
#

sorry

#

its late

#

dont mind me

potent cargo
novel socket
#

was just trying to help

potent cargo
#

nothing to even macro

#

I have 4 macros for boomy and 2 of them are to use toys when I press my spells 2Head

#

one of em is tech that's too advanced for the likes of the ppl in this discord

grand ingot
#

nice lmfao.

potent cargo
#

so yer no need for macro

#

we're pretty simple

grand ingot
#

do we basically cast 2 wraths,dot then do your big cooldowns?

#

I was forced to swap to boomkin this expansion. so im very noob on it

#

I normally played resto ha

novel socket
#

2 wrath, 2 dots, force of nature, incarn spend build spend build

potent cargo
#

that is the full opener

grand ingot
#

dang 3 cast

potent cargo
#

u gotta be 40 yards away

#

for the 3 cast

grand ingot
#

so like max range

#

dang near

potent cargo
#

ya, i mean not always practical so a couple wraths is fine too

novel socket
#

do you all agree with going with the eclipse before incarn?

potent cargo
#

yes bc its free dmg

novel socket
#

I thought you would want to get incarn on cd and your force of nature on cd fast

#

to get more total uptime

potent cargo
#

2s for eclipse for free asp and a solar bolt > incarn/fon on cd for 2s plus you already have cdr on them

grand ingot
#

do you guys think the single target will be decent this tier? idk how it was for yall last.

potent cargo
#

nop

#

in the bin

novel socket
#

I have a feeling we wont be

potent cargo
#

I'd reroll back to what you were playing before

#

or play feral

spice roost
#

i dont think theres one fight that has pure st tho

grand ingot
#

my guild wants a balanced lol

#

so

potent cargo
#

there'll be a few fights we're decent at

#

i dont expect to see many on the end boss tho

#

unless you're better than everyone else kinda thing

spice roost
#

why whats the difference with the end boss

#

with our profile

potent cargo
#

bc you can reroll/re-gear someone by the time you hit them kappa

grand ingot
#

so do we not use fury of elune for single target?

#

its no in that opener

spice roost
#

theres also the chance balance gets significant buffs

#

for st

potent cargo
#

I'm not holding breath but will see what happens in a few days

#

think there's tuning on the 13th

#

or the 17th cant fkn remember

spice roost
#

17th

#

ya

potent cargo
#

feels like it'd be better to delay it a few days after that

spice roost
#

and 24th

potent cargo
#

I'd posit the 24th would have our st buffs

#

once they see the raid dps and boomy down the very bottom

#

or at least to the tune of what we'd want

spice roost
#

i thought every fight in raid had multiple targets though

#

so why does pure st matter

potent cargo
#

well, st dmg always matters

#

bare in mind I am talking from the perspective of like

#

actual guilds

#

top 20-50 sorta range ig

spice roost
#

ok ya

#

so an adverage ce guild it wouldnt matter

potent cargo
#

boomies saving grace is it doesn't have to sacrifice a heap of dmg to change dmg profiles

#

but in all of my experience there's not many fights where our aoe damge has been needed and you kinda just relegate yourself to blasting st anyway

#

because other specs have so much more than we do

#

and nah average CE guild, which I assume isn't even hof none of this shit matters at all

grand ingot
#

can you send me your talent build for raid G?

potent cargo
#

I don't have any

#

I will log in at night and go to warcraftlogs

#

and just copy whoever's build does the most dmg

#

without thinking too hard

grand ingot
#

ah okay. fiar

#

fair*

potent cargo
#

this has sample build for kotg you can use

#

I will let the chinese and american do the work

spice roost
#

^^ that shits cooked

#

the st one

potent cargo
#

@lucid olive ur shits cooked bud

#

u gonna fix it?

spice roost
#

sims higher

#

theres fixed

potent cargo
#

gg

spice roost
#

fwiw its is in the builds on wowhead under balanced build not sure why the lower simming st build is posted as higher

#

im also getting better sims with goldrinn instead of mushroom

potent cargo
#

might've been pre apl changes

#

fk knows

spice roost
#

ya prob

#

i just hope we actually end up playing incarn on all the fights id like that

#

or 1min convoke

potent cargo
#

idm convoke

#

but 2 min so it's just easier to sync

#

for the big juice

spice roost
#

this is simming highest for me atm st

#

do u think ther tierset changes the build or no ? i dont really see why it would

potent cargo
#

mmmm

#

if you're already playing incarn/eg prolly not

delicate perch
dull dust
somber goblet
#

idk tho but it might be worth trying

potent cargo
#

since 4pc effects starfall as well

#

starweaver/touch synergise well kinda thing

somber goblet
#

yeah true

spice roost
#

otherwise bs

jaunty blaze
#

Show 100k sim rather

spice roost
#

doesnt exist without externals and bs im sure

jaunty blaze
#

😭

#

Not even pi can save the 100k dream

sudden flame
delicate perch
#

Surely we get buffed

jaunty blaze
#

Any % of 0 still remains 0

#

😔

#

No way they buff st by like 10% and even then it's not great

potent cargo
#

yer i mean

#

10% buff to a couple spells doesn't even move the needle

#

20% aura buff would be some unprecedented shit but we need it

delicate perch
#

We will get weekly 5% aura buffs until king blizzard decides we are fine again

spice roost
#

i dont see us getting a 20% aura buff

#

lol

#

theres just no way

potent cargo
#

yer no chance

delicate perch
#

enh got that negative 25%, surely we can cop a sneaky 20% COPIUM

jaunty blaze
#

Let me change the numbers rq

spice roost
#

isnt our tierset also 20% buff to us

jaunty blaze
#

18% afaik

spice roost
#

roughly

#

ok

potent cargo
#

I assume everyone can get 4pc

spice roost
#

ya

potent cargo
#

if you got multiple splits + lfr

jaunty blaze
#

Rather would have it like frost mage where set only gives like 4% but the spec does dmg

spice roost
#

when does catalyst come out next week?

#

my mage is actually 243 atm rdy if boomie doesnt see big enough buffs

#

got super lucky in 0s absicly

sudden flame
#

Mage is so boring man

#

mines like 238 and i just cba playing it

round field
#

says the feral

sudden flame
#

Hey feral is kinda fun in m+ to be fair

#

we do not talk about raid tho

delicate perch
#

fun? m+?

ionic gate
#

do you know of any addons like the old eclipse weakaura? (the game's own eclipse but weakaura which always appears and has a counter,and it doesn't disappear immediately)

potent cargo
#

sry dont understand what you need

ionic gate
#

smth like this

potent cargo
#

ah

#

not overlaying like that i dont think

#

best we can do is similar to your woe/starfall/starlord weak auras

#

this style

ionic gate
#

yeye i have a wa np but druid has a lot of buffs it looks crowded to me

#

i thought maybe eclipse had an addon to delete eclipses from my buff tracker

potent cargo
#

you can alwyas remove them from buff tracker but unfortunately not put them somewhere else 🙁

ionic gate
#

ye :c

dull dust
#

why so many buffs

#

I thought midnight was easy mode xpac

ionic gate
#

too much to devourer dh PogCat

jaunty blaze
#

Why is starlord off-center 😭

pallid bay
#

mainly cause i dont really care tbh

jaunty blaze
rough flax
# ionic gate ye :c

idk if this helps you but you can put ur eclipse on the track bars so it doesnt show

#

and then they dont show ontop of the ui

ionic gate
#

ye ik but its looks rly bad

rough flax
#

and can put them somewhere else like this

#

I guess this is all we have for now

ionic gate
jaunty blaze
#

Some ppl here did them as bars similar to weakaura with arcui

ionic gate
#

mmmm
