i gotta say vessel is truly ass
imagine you have to run around to collect souls AGAIN
So is it possible to craft 246 gear without a spark just using 80 crests? I saw some people talking about that
yes
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
I liked that trinket
In the compendium opener, is the starfall there in case we have a free one or we do it anyway cause of meteorites ?
What if all my gear is 240 from m0s
idk youre him i suppose
Still do less dam than a brwm
unforch class choice
level a mage
Ew
they changed crucible to get its special effects in instances
thats in sim now
so numby went up

That’s bueno
2 dps doing damage ezpz
this is the kind of shit I can get behind
But no form glyph is some beta shit
oh yeah thats whats up
hell yea sparkly tree
fake bamkin
ew
gamz ed sheeran or charlie puth
i pick gamz
gamz make good music
xD

boys ands girls do i go with the neck that has haste/crt or mast/vers
If it lands on heads it's haste/crit
Unlucky guess its mast/vers
Do we starfall on 2 target ?
yes
u hunter?
Thx
no demo lock/uh dk
picked both before i knew tuning
cant wait to get double nerfed next week

vers mast
what you playin? saw you on the other day
warrior unforc arms
free
idk who writes compendium
its not updated
u all need to learn
i dont think
gamz did the same thing in his wowhead one i think
cause of free one
arms SURELY gonna get omegabuffed
Thanks
copiumcat.gif
what hero spec yall running rn?
i wish i cared enough to actually help with guides these days bc i would make it so much more expounded 
NEVER play EC
depends on the content boyo
but kotg is fine until m+ comes out for everything
ye but it specifies "If proc" below it
ive been doing EC for everything XD
european and americans cant comprehend
i'll update Compendium before season launch
gamz is a fellow austrian
still deciding if i want to boomkin or feral
imma be real sad if it doesnt its rough out there man
resto
i mean it kinda has to right
but until then it's not accurate for anything
arms has to get buffed
but itll be like 10% aura
to get them off the floor and solidly in 4th last
which wont be anywhere near enough
behind specs nobody plays
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
It's normal that i sim 50k with boomie? while my udk sims close to 70k
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?
aren't sims still not accurate
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
no amount of accuracy is making boomy look strong rn
the spec isn't complx enough for that
it needs a like 15% ST nerf to be worth more than a tank, then like a 10% to be an ok DPS
Is there no guide yet until season 1 for now?

^ I did
Boomie needs like 20% buff
and thats the conclusion u came to

I mean..
normally I'd say protect new people but
incoming deux contrarion comment
this is pretty interesting
oh
Yeah, but what are we supposed to play for rotation now?

you surprised me
you go to the wowhead guide
and refer to the rotation section
which is in the pins
huh
or the icy veins up to you

I almost did on some random dh today and he still thinks he walked away the smartest guy in the room
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"
bring paper back
i saw someone on twitter ripping on a guy about posting he crafted a weapon yesterday
talkin bout "youre wasting crests"
when it costs zero crests

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
Duel wielders who use a crafted weapon as bis anyway can craft completely safely though
ye
Because even if one drops
They still have a second weapon to wear
And this dude just didnt get it
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 ?
im prob waiting to see if i get myth weap in first m+ vault before i do any spark crafts
if u starweaver and u get proc for free shit u use starfall
Does starfall create more proc I guess ??
since it has higher chance to give u starsurge proc
than starsurge gives to starfall
or some shit
i just woke up
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 

Larias came in on my side naturally
yes
yes
That's what I was thinking but not being sure...
Ok thanks you are the best !! 🙂
Hes the best because he tanks. Correct
He does?
did'nt see the name ahaha
All the best moonkins tank rn 
Quite interresting all they did on balance druid in fact !
tru n real
Just like all the best ones played feral at one point 😭
its kinda fun swapping feral every few tiers for culture
bc you got less mechanics
more dps
Real
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
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
Uhh, depends what gets changed right
See feral as the opposite problem but still usually doesn't do what rogue does
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?
Feral was just as shit early dimmy prog as boomkin.
But it doesn't do the st rogue does
That doesn't matter
nah you still starfall
spending procs > munching procs
Spend like the prio says
taunting first ball went so hard
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 🥲
Sound queuing rotation procs gotta be a new level of demented
Blizzard was wrong to let us have freedom of expression
The only acceptable thing would be if he was blind
How do u see the chat silly
IA can read anything today xD
U ain't talking in paragraphs text to speeching that fucking slow
Nahhh just kindding ofc x)
It's just to have some reflex I don't think about it in fight
I rather have sound on raid mechanics
Seem quite weird but I swear it works for me x)
Like Russian counting on the color swaps for sprocket went hard
Gamz maybe changed mind about cosmos procs for ascendent
oh ?
alterego
ye i checked the difference spending Cosmos procs on Starsurge with the 3 Ascendant Eclipse buffs up
idek what ascendant is bro im pressing starfall
first 3 spenders in eclipse
Oh wow thank you ! So we can conclud that it's quite the same except that maybe with luck you can get more procs of starsurge 🤷♂️
Ofc it was but quite a big wall for guilds !

Wall for colorblind and WA gamers maybe
Link the sim
BLOW UP
ty for ur contribution to the sim
Didn't do much, you did all the work ! Glad I could help though 🙂
thats a classic
who
if he doesnt post the sim ill get it for u later
ironic if u will
i cba logging into the raidbots acct
its prolly in there
fuck this rat bastard boss tbh
How come the pvp tire set is way better looking?
i vote bug surely

its not
xddd
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/s5CLjhZhGSjwnqHGWv1nNu also it was this
holy leaking the secret apl
So do we still starfall surge surge at the start of ascendant stacks
🤫

this was never the general default, or?
Idk, those are what I read from Chinese community
sure but wheres the pve one
dunno but less work for me
dont think thats true
in 4 weeks
before meteorite nerfs maybe
The guide from Chinese community makes my EC single target rotation so ass

put ketchup on it to deal aoe damage to italians
same as usual
uhhh if u want to
no
no
4 week quest
whyat
4 week
arctic i need one of ur alts to funnel me gear in m0s

shaman?
close enough
lol
we get tier for 1600 rating?
shuffle count?
no
aotc only count for midnight falls
u get cata charge from like
who you calling an ocunt
2k probably
what about hc raid
u dont get aotc from crown
u get it from midnight falls
which comes out the following week
I mean so if you pvp next week you wont even have a hc piece for tierify?
i just did
oh cuz LFR endboss didnt come out for months?
uhh u could if u get the slot from raid
and then cata it
and then once u get 4p u can get cata charges from m+ or something
just dont know how many u get from "farming"
hmm
if its anything like post season its fairly common
cata'd random shit and I was constantly capped on my push toon
idk cuz i thought it was targeted spells but it wasnt
bigwigs shouldnt load open world righT?
i barely saw ur arrow
the fuck u using lavender for
what orb is that
no
hmm
there are some animations tbf
What AP bar is this Mr arctic?
Tyty will give it a go it looks nice, I've not been happy with my bar since the great purge
threshold lines big pog
Yeah that's whats caught my eye 👀
where chicken
Don’t think the lines are actually accurate with the ca cost reduction tho
if you have a better one then send it
bro
holy
and then you're the one complaining
tbf... when the essentials bar is lined up with innervate
theres a huge gap between the cast bar and the essentials bar
the buffs could be moved down
i was messing with cast bar on top or bottom of astral power :/
I just use senseis and learned costs ngl
too late i already made fun of your ui
I always used luckyone my entire time playing balance
it adjusts in incarn and not.. .and then use rattle and have to do maf
i cba
they are
Any idea if buffs will be posted tomorrow or Friday?
@gilded gyro hello can u please tell me whats in the patch notes before u post it thanks
also, i didnt mean to actually ping u.... so ur fault for having ur name that
😛
We are planning to delete Ret, buff Rdruid and ELE. Since we still don’t know what a wind walker is we will ignore it.

taht sounds badass
We are also looking into Balance as well. Yuge buffs incoming
Several interns recommended we go back to the waxing/waning mechanic……
several? you mustve counted wrong
Well they were from the DH intern pool so
hey any1 an enchanter
how dafrick do i make enchants that i can sell on the ah
i can only enchant my own gear im confused
Enchanting Velum
And we are getting pulser back??
does anyone know of a modding script for plater that colors the enemy bar if either sun- or moonfire is missing? I've been trying around but it doesnt seem to work.
this is restricted now .. cant be done
unless
Thought so. I have been doubting my Lua skills 
arctic you got how many 250 pieces?


crest saving champ yes
if ive got a shitty off stat spear vs a fist weapon but on stat + pvp off hand should i just craft a spark off hand
ive done my world tour this week
no
u shuoldnt be crafting right now
u will most likely craft 2h weapon

🤢
I literally stepped into m0's for the first time to play aug last week lmao
was fun
we did 4x mail 1x plate for our m0s
i forgot to add vet crests, i can craft a 2h with vet crests thats better than both options
without sparks
so just do that right?
Aug is bis
doesn't really matter
u likely shouldnt be crafting even next week but suppose depends where ur sending other crests
Even looqe is full 240
Are you raiding n/h next week? And what day are you doing it?
well all mine are 240
Just gotta log in and do dongers type shit
Ye i meant every item ofc
LariasAI is getting stronger
yea cringe
n on tues

im slamming m0s tuesday and wednesday then crafting wednesday before raid
are they still vet
craft staff at vet + w.e off piece prob
ye
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
Crests no clue
need to see what items i dont get
m0 will be champ + daily reset
from m0 next week
@vital hound 
Ive been hearing champ but we will see
u recraft the staff the following week with mythic crests tho
Idk if anyone can say with 100 certainty
you dont recraft a vet staff
i dont have time to run 8 myth 0s every day
the arguments for vet i have seen

is that champ track is when season starts
what
you literally cannot recraft a vet staff with myth crests
they're two different item types
vet = blue item, vet crests, no sparks
can u not craft a staff with 2 sparks without crests?
You can
isnt it vet ilvl?
you can, thats champ
oh
well my fault i thought it was vet
but yea u recraft it with mythic crests is what i meant
jsut thought it was lower ilvl
Im crafting staffer on shitty alts
And trying to get vet crest achiev early
And then my mains go 📈
its ok ❤️ i just wanted to make sure we were clear because they were was a new guy asking questions
yea
Balance definitely still needs buffs
always needs buffs
no im complaining too
they just happen to not know how to play my spec
You're saying you don't have 110% uptime on Eclipse?
Next you're gonna tell me starlord doesn't reset if you hit eclipse
yes but ask yourself are you really representative of the userbase
it is criminal that ppl dont read their spells and wonder what is going on
nah im thje 0.5%
just put a build in, get confused, and then come here to ask a q
mmhm mmhm
real
one would think that reading 5 spells would be easier
anyways at least this guy got an answer
I'm curious to know how many people try a class, don't press any of the major buttons and then go complain that it's weak
pretty silly
Should you reapply moonfire and sunfire before every eclipse
If they have less than 15 seconds
it's potentially less bad now to refresh in eclipse
but who knows
should still do it before for good measure
tbh im not enjoying this whole eclipse active ability
so you prefer to cast two slow starfires to get into solar eclipse
instead of an instant press button

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.
losing another one to KOTG smh
Full EC right here boi, just checking KOTG out XD
I prefer the EC playstyle by far seems more fast pace
prefer casting starfire lovely "playstyle"
out of curiosity, can you explain what you mean?
fast pace, 2 sec spam casting starfire on st
i hope keeper is better in m+ so the rats have to learn how to play
EC just seems to be missing Something
anything
fotm rerollers just rerolled for free s2 cuz the spec was bm levels of braindead
the big ec buff spell..does nothing, that'l be it
?
Sorry, I didn't follow that sentence is all

Oh, you're saying that starfire is undertuned?
I do feel like I was only able to do damage in M0 with Meteor Storm and incarn up. The Apex talent lunar eclipse bolts appear to just tickle, even if everything is stacked
that and apex talents just moved half of what EC had
to KOTG
giving EC ..nothing
lot of apex talents only seem to work with one hero talent
what are the current best talents for dungeons
is it really that ass right now?
play bear for do less damage than tank
what about resto, is resto good atm?
sure
hmm
u can play it... ur just doing 15% less than peoepl for fun
is resto fun? i've never healed before
suppose u can learn how to play it if ur having trouble
i mean... i tanking is far easier kek
I hated wildstalker with a passion as resto idk
Resto omega piss easy in dungeons
actually?
I think so
you use the wowhead build?
Yeah
You don't need to go cat
Even if you never got cat you still play wildstalker in dungeons it still does big healing
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?
huh, thats a talent
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)
yeah it tracks, spose I never read the new hero line
Guess i'll ask again later when a bigger audience is online 🙂
prob intentional but idk, it reads like it should work
cant be having free damage now can we
The balance version of star cascade is specifically coded to not proc anything
Intended or dev being careless impossible to tell with blizz quality
🥲
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
Yea ^^ At least the wording on Stellar Amplification should be corrected then, something like 'Casting Starsurge on a target...'
That's too long some blizz devs think that will confuse ppl
hehe
Its better to be easy to understand than be correct
400 things to do before that
like some classes dont even use all the apex talent points
thats the real fun one
Now that i think about, guess i'll test (later) if convoke starsurges do apply that debuff
yea :<
Those are normal surges, as is the bear version of star cascade
Its just the balance one that doesn't proc
Ah ok, sounds like you actually know (technical) what you're talking about
thanks for your input then 🙂
the tier set worked but now the talent doesnt, unluggi
is there any reason to run control over power of the dream with incarn
would depend if there was a timing in a fight where we were off by that amount
seen sims of both being around the same
people would defs be like "it's instant cast" 
Unlucky ID with my druid
M0 Worldtour - 0 item
Weekly - 0 item
Prey - 0 item
what ilvl are you
feel like its statistically impossible to get 0 items
239
you mean, 0 upgrades
lmaooo

yea no shit bud
Yes
does anyone know what the best overall talent build will be for raid? just the wowhead ones? or are they cooked
womp womp
well its a good thing it doesn't matter at all
some of us are in the trenches
I know but feels unlucky xD
just go to warcraftlogs once raid is released and steal the builds from top parses
do NOT give big gamz a click
if u do m0s right
true
yeah true. i was just thinking ahead of the curve XD
think CE instead
u can do whatever for aotc dont even need to play the game just go afk hit boss once
for week 1 lol
Will be loorgs updated for midnight - discord seams dead
wdym does it not work on midnight logs or something?
At the moment you can select only manaforge raid
well ya there are no midnight raid logs since the raid isn't open

any bets if those cheater guys go kill the end boss day 1 again
wdym cheaters they're just better at the game than blizz

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
HEARD WRONG BUDDY
Really?
My ret friend told me it was trash
But hes not boomy so idk lol
So crucible is better than drums?
mistake 1 listening to a ret player
true, I just dont really feel like simming this early lol
then just put on the cuter item who cares
Honestly, your ret friend saying not to use it is evidence enough that you should
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
You get upgrades where you bought it
Via some weekly quest system
The 3 points needed for that are fairly fast to get
wait so u can make the renoun trinket better?
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
ah i see ty
Should I play mushrooms on M0+ dungeons?
is there a macro to cast force of nature on your target? no like a cursor cast, but kind of like a target one?
#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
so you jsut have to have it over the hp bar?
force of nature is ground targeted and ground targeted spells cant be cast on enemies/allies
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
also this is a resto spell
ah okay, so the cursor over on the boss then
on the floor where the boss is
yer
okay. gotcha. do you guys have any good macros for openers? or is it better to just do it yourself?
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
uh
why do u have
all those extra lines for no reason
just do @ cursor lmao
also as i said
its an oldschool macro
grove guardians and force of nature are not the same spell
if you played back in vanilla, you would know
i know how macros work thank you
#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
Oh really
our opener is probably like idk 4 spells
was just trying to help
nothing to even macro
I have 4 macros for boomy and 2 of them are to use toys when I press my spells 
one of em is tech that's too advanced for the likes of the ppl in this discord
nice lmfao.
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
2 wrath, 2 dots, force of nature, incarn spend build spend build
dang 3 cast
ya, i mean not always practical so a couple wraths is fine too
do you all agree with going with the eclipse before incarn?
yes bc its free dmg
I thought you would want to get incarn on cd and your force of nature on cd fast
to get more total uptime
2s for eclipse for free asp and a solar bolt > incarn/fon on cd for 2s plus you already have cdr on them
do you guys think the single target will be decent this tier? idk how it was for yall last.
I have a feeling we wont be
i dont think theres one fight that has pure st tho
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
bc you can reroll/re-gear someone by the time you hit them 
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
feels like it'd be better to delay it a few days after that
and 24th
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
i thought every fight in raid had multiple targets though
so why does pure st matter
well, st dmg always matters
bare in mind I am talking from the perspective of like
actual guilds
top 20-50 sorta range ig
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
can you send me your talent build for raid G?
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
this has sample build for kotg you can use
I will let the chinese and american do the work
gg
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
ya prob
i just hope we actually end up playing incarn on all the fights id like that
or 1min convoke
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
always this, guild full of padding rats too
we might play rattle the stars with 4p don't you think ?
idk tho but it might be worth trying
will be a sim q
since 4pc effects starfall as well
starweaver/touch synergise well kinda thing
yeah true
doesnt exist without externals and bs im sure

Any % of 0 still remains 0
😔
No way they buff st by like 10% and even then it's not great
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
We will get weekly 5% aura buffs until king blizzard decides we are fine again
yer no chance
enh got that negative 25%, surely we can cop a sneaky 20% 
Let me change the numbers rq
isnt our tierset also 20% buff to us
I assume everyone can get 4pc
ya
if you got multiple splits + lfr
Rather would have it like frost mage where set only gives like 4% but the spec does dmg
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
says the feral
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)
you just want an icon for eclipse duration?
sry dont understand what you need
smth like this
ah
not overlaying like that i dont think
best we can do is similar to your woe/starfall/starlord weak auras
this style
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
you can alwyas remove them from buff tracker but unfortunately not put them somewhere else 🙁
ye :c
too much to devourer dh 
Why is starlord off-center 😭
mainly cause i dont really care tbh

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
ye ik but its looks rly bad
i think this is doable as addon idk
Some ppl here did them as bars similar to weakaura with arcui
mmmm
