so now im gonna tell people to wait

potent cargo
#

could maybe change growth direction and see if it fixes/reload, seems weird since your settings look correct just logically

sour rampart
#

lmao

lofty depot
#

is correct ye

#

but u have enough time in incarn to get it done

#

just not in trees window, but surge better i think

eager raft
#

gonna take a bit to rewire brain

#

to understand that spender spam is good now

lofty depot
#

machine gun

#

gogogogog

potent cargo
#

easiest rewire

#

surge/starfall are dopamine

#

play the slot machine

lofty depot
#

rewire to spend cosmos on starfall

dreamy cove
#

rip, left or right, or down/up still mseed up

sly wadi
#

hitting the lotto is pure dopamine

eager raft
lofty depot
#

unless its the first 3 spenders in eclipse

eager raft
#

o cuz apex buffs those ya?

lofty depot
#

ye

potent cargo
#

do we have a sim check for dps loss if you just ignore it completely

#

just out of interest

lofty depot
#

ignore what

potent cargo
#

like just press starfall instead of surge

lofty depot
#

uhh gamz did

#

think it was like 0.2

potent cargo
#

in that window specifically

lofty depot
#

YE

delicate perch
lofty depot
#

is old number but prob same

potent cargo
#

was never gonna be end of the world but i take solace in the idea that it's "minimal"

lofty depot
#

might be 0.3 if i think about it

eager raft
#

did kotg lose the talent that reduces CA cd

lofty depot
eager raft
#

not control*

#

the other one

lofty depot
#

ye

potent cargo
lofty depot
#

they made it haste

eager raft
#

so its just flat 1 min recharge

potent cargo
#

compared to my buttons lighting up and remembering to press surge instead of fall for the 3 globals per fight its relevant kinda thing

lofty depot
#

2m recharge

#

but it got reduced by 1m from whirling

eager raft
#

oh ya sry thats what i meant

lofty depot
#

whirling reduced it by 100 before

eager raft
#

gotcha

lofty depot
#

and then potent by another 10

granite heath
#

oh boy,

lofty depot
#

in aoe u would slam starfall regardless

eager raft
#

maybe one day we play 1m convoke

lofty depot
#

so is tuff

granite heath
#

i thought i would maybe try balance

eager raft
potent cargo
lofty depot
#

we got buffed dog

potent cargo
#

bc if you arent i think you have lots of potentiality for topping dps in your m+s

flat pewter
granite heath
#

if its not high keys wont my dmg be even lower

lofty depot
#

do u think the buffs are already in or

delicate perch
eager raft
#

gotta be beta

#

cmon guys use ur heads

delicate perch
#

I doubt he's on ptr doing keys OMEGAKEKW

lofty depot
#

beta doesnt have the buffs either

potent cargo
#

brain no work

eager raft
#

lmfao

granite heath
#

oh

delicate perch
granite heath
#

when are buff btw, tuesday?

potent cargo
#

sorch just play what u want

#

bc lets be real

lofty depot
#

tuesday

potent cargo
#

u play something op now

#

it will be bricked by mid season when they do turbo/big change mid season

granite heath
#

i wanna play evoker but that fuckin range

potent cargo
#

like they do every season

eager raft
#

u get used to evoker range fast

potent cargo
#

so ur decisions now will be irrelevant in 3 month or w/

eager raft
#

ifu wanna play evoker play it and push thru the learning curve of less range

#

doesnt take long

dreamy cove
eager raft
#

ranged classes play in melee in m+ either way shrug

loud kettle
#

do not tell the resto druids who refuse to catweave that

eager raft
#

@lofty depot does apex include convoke surgees

#

i assume yes

lofty depot
#

iirc yes

eager raft

#

@lofty depot who is a feral and bear person I can ping without getting murdered

eager raft
#

@loud kettle

#

idk bears

stable basin
#

How does boomy vs feral look in keys now with the buffs?

normal pilot
#

feral might do more but it's feral so maybe they can't overcome the stigma

#

keys are just a random ass guess you're not really gonna find a good answer until a month into the season

stable basin
#

True

lament vine
#

Is there anywhere to practice ST on a dummy that doesn't have a billion other dummies nearby?

normal pilot
#

you'd just swap to whatever is better after the post-raid tuning if you're serious about keys but want to play your druid

#

Do we have an estimate how the buffs will affect our performance in m+?

lofty depot
#

not fully cuz of how simming m+ is just shit

#

did some funny 3t and 5t sims at 5m but it was like 12%... will just have to see in a few weeks how it looks

deep hearth
#

Okay thanks for the reply anyways

potent cargo
#

the short and lazy answer is we are fine for any m+ you want to do whether that's low keys or title keys

#

the biggest obstacle you will have is your own skill at the game and finding other ppl to tolerate you in the group

merry ibex
#

is elune playable in keys or is it all trees?

potent cargo
#

elune

#

good in keys

merry ibex
#

kina miss warrior of elune though I tell you what

lofty depot
#

would be funny to see keeper get some play for a bit

#

but should be ec

potent cargo
#

we kinda get a little bit of that with eclipse giving us an instant cast starfire

#

sorta homage

dark flame
#

Goodmorning, how much do we sim more with recent buffs?

#

where can i find that info

jaunty blaze
#

pins

dark flame
#

ty

#

Its just for ST, any news on AOE? since the starfall nerf

jaunty blaze
#

its still an aoe dmg increase

#

something like 8-9%

thorn dove
jaunty blaze
#

thats not how it works

#

its less than 6% but i cant say how much

thorn dove
#

Which is why I said approximately 6%

edgy quarry
#

I was wondering, maybe on the boss lightblinded vanguard we could switch to Elune Chosen as we did with hunters in Manaforge ? What do u think about it

jaunty blaze
#

possible

royal zenith
#

Until asp runs out..

jaunty blaze
#

starfall is expensive these days...

kindred token
#

Sorry for the spam 😂

acoustic star
#

How do dots work in modern WoW? do you need to snapshot moonfire/sunfire during eclipse to get the damage amp or does it just amp when eclipse is up. (and I guess the same question for haste from starlord...)

royal zenith
#

afaik all of balance druid is dynamic

#

only feral really has snapshotting

#

what does starlord have to do with snapshotting?

#

it's a buff that is up or not that's all

acoustic star
#

oh.. haste doesn't increase dot tick speed anymore?

royal zenith
#

not a lot is hasted

#

just specific ticks per x or y

#

@lucid olive might be able to tell you what the actual mechanic is rn

#

it's also the reason why we always want a lot of mastery

#

(even though a shitton of people 'stack' haste cause they think it feels better)

potent cargo
jaunty blaze
#

doesnt only feral still has that

#

everything about boomie is dynamic

potent cargo
#

ya off the top of my head feral is the only one

#

which is TF snapshotting

royal zenith
potent cargo
#

hots/dots are effected by haste

#

idk the full mechanic math or w/e but they just do a partial tick

jaunty blaze
#

its nothing to worry about just let the clanker do the thinking

royal zenith
#

honestly

#

I get that we say it a lot cause it's easier

#

but it's kinda useful to know how shit works

#

smile

potent cargo
#

mmmmmm

jaunty blaze
#

sure it is

potent cargo
#

agree to disagree

#

LOL

jaunty blaze
#

but i think most ppl wont benefit from that

delicate perch
potent cargo
#

well, surface level yes

royal zenith
#

hence the "cause it's easier"

potent cargo
#

maybe not the backend uh numeros of it all

royal zenith
#

Im talking pure surface level

cedar pumice
#

is it possible to set-up different colors of nameplates depending of which debuff is missing moonfire/sunfire ? or this option is off now in Midnight?

potent cargo
#

i aint pullin out the spell power int calc formula

#

yeh, that part good

royal zenith
#

fuck how it works on the back-end

jaunty blaze
royal zenith
#

that's for nerds..

potent cargo
jaunty blaze
#

gotta learn to track the icons instead

royal zenith
#

good thing we will only be pulling 5 mobs at a time for a while

still iris
#

does that seem reasonable? just by reading the trinkets, it feels like they would be the worst combination...

potent cargo
#

idk bro what are u simming

jaunty blaze
#

dont trust big sim

#

(trust the sim)

royal zenith
#

I haven't touched any sim so far

#

just get ilvl man

jaunty blaze
#

its really whatever fr at this point

#

most things are like minor increases

#

of 100 dps or so

still iris
#

they are all the same ilvl, tried patchwerk and hectic cleave and both results look ass 😄

potent cargo
#

yeah.. but what fight time

jaunty blaze
#

hectic cleave is not supported

potent cargo
#

is the passive trinkets getting more benefit since ur not getting that extra use of the on use?

jaunty blaze
#

so you wont get anything useful out of that

potent cargo
#

change the fight time to 3 mins if ur doing 5 mins and see what happens, or 2 mins etc

still iris
#

thanks, will try that

potent cargo
#

regardless

#

you will be replacing them both in what 4 days

delicate perch
#

heckin love me some hectic addcleave unsupported sims

potent cargo
#

I just go on use trinket because it'll let you crank those short pulls where you go big

jaunty blaze
#

convoke go brr

cedar pumice
#

been spending some time on ST dummy and with many different talent builds KOTG (ST/AOE), but dps on single target dummy is very similar. anyone else the same?

jaunty blaze
#

thats because they all sim about the same too

#

lots of talents are very close to each other in terms of output

#

convoke build is only very slightly ahead in numbers

edgy quarry
#

u were right ^^'

Fortunately u told me before I did the craft, thanks

gilded rampart
#

hey guys after buffs which will be the best for raid and m+? Elunes chosen or Keeper of the Grove?

cedar pumice
jaunty blaze
#

it will probably depend which profile lines up better with the bosses

jaunty blaze
gilded rampart
#

i see, thank you

grizzled walrus
#

hello. I am really confused with balance druid. all the videos on yt that I've found sais that before you enter eclipse, if you press W, you go into solar, if you press SF, you go intro lunar...but whatever I press, I have only lunar eclipse. why?

#

i haven't played druid since df s3

jaunty blaze
#

thats because you play elunes chosen hero talent and have lunar calling talented

#

read it and it will become clear why that is

grizzled walrus
#

ok thx

olive shard
#

s1 use elvui ? i have errors all time

ionic gate
#

its no longer possible to change colors on the plater according to our dots right?

jaunty blaze
#

no

grizzled walrus
#

because of the lunar calling talent, we use starfire in single target also?

jaunty blaze
#

yes

grizzled walrus
#

can I unbind wrath then? KEKW

jaunty blaze
#

your starfire dmg is increased by 120% (after the patch) on your maintarget

#

wrath might be a slight gain in st when you are out of eclipse

#

but its largely not needed

grizzled walrus
dark cipher
#

Anyone have a feel yet for where the breakpoint is for "that's too many enemies to put moonfire on everyone"? The wowhead guide says "we don't know yet."

royal zenith
#

just use old rules/prio till we know more

#

aka if target lives longer than 6 seconds, moonfire it

dark cipher
#

Even if there's so many adds that by the time you get go through moonfiring them all, the first ones are in pandemic?

royal zenith
#

There can't be any pull right now, in m0, where you end up in that situation

#

unless your co-players really have no hands

#

just moonfire prio targets, not smallies etc.

#

use logic

dark cipher
#

Lol fair enough

royal zenith
#

I get the need for having specifics though, but kinda a lot is still changing atm

plucky valley
#

Use logic? Yeah no thanks I’ll remain irrational

dark cipher
#

I've definitely been under-dotting. Usually around 8ish I just shrug, use a couple GCDs in moonfire, then drop sunfire and start my eclipse rotation. Then I wonder why I feel like I'm underperforming.

#

I'm a bear main, though, so I'm too used to moonfire spreading automatically.

jaunty blaze
#

should have done m0s in bear for preseason ngl

radiant plaza
#

this change from yesterday give ST buff and AOE nerv right?

jaunty blaze
#

no

radiant plaza
#

both buff?

jaunty blaze
#

yes

radiant plaza
acoustic star
#

should I be aiming to weave an instacast between each starfire to ensure I'm not wasting any starweaver procs for EC? Without gimping my Astral Energy for Eclipse windows ofc...

frosty slate
#

if i can sneak a PI isnt eluna kinda close even on st?

#

elune

jaunty blaze
#

the sim number isnt the only thing thats important in this line of thought

#

and even if you just go by that then there are specs where pi is a lot better on

#

the main problem is having to cast starfires for 2 seconds all the time

#

good luck when you need to move a lot

sharp copper
#

Decided to level a druid as an alt to my mage.

How's this spec holding up on m0 atm ?

jaunty blaze
#

boomie is never good in content like m0

#

things usually dont live long enough

fossil hemlock
#

And if they do you have bigger problems

sharp copper
jaunty blaze
#

because they die too fast?

thats about it

boomie needs a bit of ramp up time and lacks burst

At this point im 100% convinced, Blizzard no longer has a tuning Departement. They just have a AI "Vibe-Tuning" all speccs.

How bad of a Job are you doing, that basically have to +20% and -30% some speccs? That is freaking wild...

That being said, i stay with my reroll to devour, as i trust the "New specc hype" over Blizzard finaly managing to get balance druid to be a fun specc to play again. (Ignoring tuning, because the playstyle BS is a bigger issue then the number tuning currently is)

lofty depot
#

It's been a fun spec to play all beta cycle

normal pilot
#

this isn't that wild

lofty depot
#

It was just tuned bad, so your "ignoring tuning playstyle BS" is funny

normal pilot
#

it's been like this for decades every xpac ppl conveniently forget cuz they want to stay addicted

shy bay
lofty depot
#

That's fine, u just have the wrong opinion

#

It's probably the most fun since DF S1

normal pilot
#

nah he's got the right attitude

#

if you don't find a spec fun play something else

lofty depot
#

Attitude sure, opinion about the spec, no

normal pilot

you don't need to justify why you like or don't liek a spec

yeah its just a video game

Hello, What is currently the easier pathways of the 2 Keeper of the grove or elunes chosen I am newer to balance so I am trying to go for something that has a lower APM and overall easier to play

lucid olive
#

elune's chosen has easier skill floor but potentially harder skill ceiling

lofty depot
#

We werent midfield in tww until 0.5

#

And sim numbers don't matter

#

Ur whole complaint was playstyle and ur only mentioning tuning

Ok so it was the eclipse difference lol

shut cliff

#

And not the playstyle

normal pilot
#

you like having to spend 2 casts for eclipse instead of having an instant cast?

drifting nova
#

yes

lofty depot
#

How is casting 2 starfires better than an instant cast

drifting nova
#

I'd rather pick 2 apples than one carrot

lofty depot
#

I love the "it's a gcd" talk

lucid olive
#

crazy opinions in dreamgrove today

lofty depot
#

It's remarkable

drifting nova

it's worse than that

#

it's a half gcd

it exists for no reason

Eclipse Change is definitely a playstyle change and contained some skill expression which is gone now

i haven’t mess around with the eclipse and actually playing right now, but do you get a lot of down time outside of eclipse

#

Please explain

hybrid elbow
#

no reason to argue about fun if it is subjective

Fun is subjective

#

but calling it skill expression is not an opinion

is someone actually telling gamz to play his rotation better xddd

jolly delta
#

you didn't just say "that" to kekkers did you

lofty depot
#

Post ur logs

jolly delta
#

But

lucid olive
#

There is 0 skill expression involved in being locked out of Eclipse on mechanics like Dimensius gravities, Ansurek p1 toxin pops or Sprocketmonger movement

drifting nova
#

I saw both vinter and gamz get caught out of rotation on fights, clear skill issue

jolly delta
#

Not on that

drifting nova
exotic perch
#

Kekkers is just a god tier gamer what do you guys expect

lucid olive
#

The "skill expression" for an uptime spec like Moonkin comes in handling movement correctly and planning well, but there is no planning to be possibly done around hard mythic mechanics like that

lofty depot
jolly delta
#

Like there's literally nothing you could do if you get a mechanic the exact same moment you're leaving eclipse

#

How is that "skill issue"

#

Lmao

lucid olive
#

And if anything, it creates a much larger gap between good and average players

jolly delta
#

Idk if you're doing normal raids sure just ignore the mechanic

exotic perch
#

Well you could stand there and get your 2 starfire casts off

lucid olive
#

But also I assume that having the opinion that making Eclipse into a button "loses skill expression", you probably peak at AOTC

exotic perch
#

But then you might wipe the raid

Death over loosing my maintenance buff. sounds legit

hybrid elbow
#

I wasn't complaining btw, I just tried to point out that there is difference wrt to TWW which some people prefer. I dont really mind tbh. But arguing the playstyle didnt change is simply wrong.

lucid olive
hybrid elbow
#

obviously ita a very small change wrt to normal changes with a new expension

jolly delta
#

I swear to god we got this exact same comment 3 days ago or something

drifting nova
# lofty depot Why do u think that

as said like a month ago, either it's important enough to be a gcd or of no consequence to be ogcd, half gcds are just bad, across the board

lucid olive
drifting nova
#

it's where the clunk stems from

lucid olive
#

I guess it's one of those things where the playstyle changed a lot more noticeably for average players than for better players

exotic perch
#

If they made the bolts apex talent stronger and a full gcd id be down

drifting nova
#

for the worse, yes

lofty depot
#

the problem with "playstyle change" is that it actually helps u if u open ur eyes

exotic perch
#

Feels like a good button press then

drifting nova
#

half gcds are objectively bad, I doubt theres more than like 5 in the game

#

I can only think of 1 but I dont play all classes

lucid olive
#

The playstyle change is more about Starweaver than Eclipse tbh

lofty depot
#

^^

exotic perch
#

Well starweaver is sick tho

lucid olive
#

yeah

#

but you know what isnt sick

cedar forge
#

yeah hope we get to keep it

lucid olive
#

Hail of Stars

lofty depot
#

interactions

#

those are sick

lucid olive
#

I love Starweaver playstyle but holy shit that talent is so bad

lofty depot
#

so are we gonna post logs so i can make sure ur doing the playstyle correctly or

exotic perch
#

Thats the 300% more shs right

#

For like 3 secs

lucid olive
#

yeah 3 seconds of Solstice when you use free spender

exotic perch
#

Yeah it just needs to add up

lucid olive
#

The idea is really cool providing a buff using free spender procs

#

but Solstice is not a tangible buff

exotic perch
#

So you can slam procs back to back

jolly delta
#

Anyways for once I kind of agree with Kekkers

#

Well not really

drifting nova
#

knew you'd come around

lucid olive
jolly delta
#

A shorter gcd is objectively better than a longer one

lucid olive
#

but gets hard reset to 6s when you enter Eclipse

#

so if you proc like 3 times outside of Eclipse you're just munching uptime when you have to press Eclipse

drifting nova
#

if eclipse was a full gcd before

exotic perch
drifting nova
#

itd be fine

jolly delta
#

But man it feels a bit weird

drifting nova
#

but it wasnt, it was a passive

#

it's gone backwards

lucid olive
#

idk, if it was something like "spending a free Starsurge makes your next Starfall do more damage" and vice versa or something

drifting nova
lucid olive
#

or like "spending a free Starsurge or Starfall proc increases the duration of your active Eclipse"

round field
#

Yea but that doesnt have synergy with the tier set soo

exotic perch
#

Yeah they could slightly rework it to be more useful always

lucid olive
#

the Shooting Stars playstyle now is just because they changed Sunfire/Moonfire from mastery and need to bake some more power into them

exotic perch
#

I even said way back in the day them tying so many things to eclipse was going to be bad

lucid olive
#

I think it's fine as long as interactions are consistent with what they benefit from

lofty depot
#

lol now theyre gonna find an interaction to give back to rattle

lucid olive
#

thats especially true for stuff like free Starsurge/Starfalls from other talents

lofty depot
#

surely its my maintenance buff

#

mmmhm mmhm

lucid olive
#

like Star Cascade talent for EC giving Harmony of the Heavens but nothing else

#

Either make all those talents interact with Starsurge/Starfall modifiers or make none of them do

drifting nova
#

whats the tier set called

lucid olive
#

sprouts of the luminous bloom

#

had to write that like 10 times for the wowhead guide so its imprinted in my head

drifting nova
#

SuspiciousChicken whats even the % of star damage to buf fit

lucid olive
#

wdym

drifting nova
#

50% more

lucid olive
#

yeah crazy number

drifting nova
#

but is the total like 2%

or 10

no

oh sick

#

also didn't really change anything noteworthy

#

the rotation and talent stuff got updates last couple days

proven rampart
#

oh, it just says when it was updated, but i think there's convoke stuff in the ST prio list i didn't see before

lucid olive
#

yeah i changed the rotation page to cover convoke/incarn builds with starweaver

proven rampart
#

ah cool, ty gamz

lucid olive
#

instead of incarn/convoke builds with weaver/rattle

also added fury of elune

#

it can just as well go the other way

lucid olive
#

yeah never know what they end up doing

#

have a feeling starsurge and starfall numbers will prob be a little different one direction or the other

#

think they usually round up or down to the 3rd decimal

#

which rounds down from 3.44736 to 3.447 on Starsurge and up from 0.22192 to 0.222 on Starfall

oh unlucky they fixed aoe proccing OB

lucid olive

yeah that was in the blue post

i am more surprised they knew about it tbh

and also surprised that we didn't know about it sooner

i'm less surprsied about that

more on myself, how did i do algethar m+ on beta without thinking theres something weird with getting 8 full moons in a 20 second pull..

maybe they were hidden

ok guys

#

what should i track be honest

lucid olive
#

not wrath and starfire

#

thats for sure

#

dont track starsurge and starfall if you alrdy have ticks in your AP bar

#

also @lyric stag help him out

worthy stone
#

\dont ping that DISGUSTING freak

#

i have to pick up the slack this tier and flex boomkin

#

cause hes old and washed

#

reality is im onyl ever playing elunes chosen for a cleave fight in raid right i dont have to worry about this other hero talent ever

copper gate
#

Damn that’s based

tawny cloud
worthy stone
#

ummm its just twintop insanity bar

#

but he made it work for all resources

pallid bay
worthy stone
#

is cancelaura starlord still good

#

the last time i played boomkin we were afflicted ive got some unc viewpoints

stone ledge
#

I put my wrath and starfire on utility bars just to see the free proc glows but I also hide action bars

worthy stone
#

dude what is starweaver

#

i cant find it in cdm

pallid bay
worthy stone
#

woke takes everything

#

chills

pallid bay
worthy stone
#

ok it looks like u dont play that in raid aoe talents

#

so we can ignore that for now

pallid bay
#

you'd play it on paladins prob

worthy stone
#

im only speccing this chicken spec when its like a 5t cleave fight they wontm let me be a cat on

#

fuckkk

pallid bay
#

and dragons

lucid olive
#

you play Starweaver on every raid fight pretty sure

#

the paladins aren't stacked 3t anyway, one of them just perma off on his horse

worthy stone
#

fuckkkk

pallid bay
#

you could prob argue for rattle on dragons

#

but it prob ends up worse

lucid olive
#

yeah maybe

#

rattle with EC on dragons

#

if they are stacked enough for starfire to hit

worthy stone
#

so youd be playing keeper even on the cleave fights ?

#

ec just key only or what

lucid olive
#

yeah

worthy stone
#

fuckkkkkkkkkkkk

lucid olive
#

your target breakpoints for Starfire/Wrath stuff is not just how many targets there are in total, but how many targets are hit by Starfire

#

also like, moonkin on 2 targets sims about the same as feral does on ST

#

think you'll be fine

worthy stone
#

tbh i dont think id realistically play it ever cause u can just pick up slack somewhere else

#

and im a paw buff

#

but dratnos threatened to take me to the vet and neuter me .

lucid olive
#

understandable

wicked shuttle
#

wtf are you logging on moonkin

#

would we ever play mushrooms on dragons

worthy stone
#

ummm im playing feral (copefully) and if theres a stix i have to play boomkin

#

that was the rule

worthy stone
#

im really good at pressing that one

#

i will win

severe vapor
#

question- is eclipse dynamic with the moon/sun fires? or do i gotta reapply as soon as i hit it?

lucid olive
#

all your periodic effects are dynamic

#

nothing really snapshots like that in modern WoW outside of Feral Druid bleeds

lofty depot
#

Does wild mushroom snap still 👀

lucid olive
#

no

#

that got changed when fungal growth was baked into the baseline talent

normal pilot
#

mushrooms are usually soft they don't snap but maybe you like dried shrooms

#

is it too early to tell now or is mdt sim still the "go to" for dung simming

craggy sonnet
#

aoe sims are a bit wonky in general for now i would say

#

but yea, ultimately it would be mdt sims again

shut trench
#

never really knew what is the best sim for m+ some people say do the usual raid ST sim some say mdt some say Dungslice

craggy sonnet

not dslice at least

shut trench

had some conflicting opinions on this one

these are all overwritten by the mdt sim input

yeet

glad helm
#

Is there an order in which to craft the the following items like bracers?

lofty depot
#

sim question

glad helm
#

Fair enough

hasty ermine
#

quick question: do i start using Starfall on 2+ targets?

lofty depot
#

i was thinking maybe craft off tier piece but its kinda meh

#

cuz ur using mythic crests on not a good item (wrists being that bad item)

#

but shrug

lofty depot
#

🙂

hasty ermine
#

thanks ThumbsUp

glad helm
lofty depot
#

so some items give more stats than others

#

usually we used a different crest to craft wrists cuz it was effecient but i dont think that enhanced crest is a thing anymore...... so yea will have an answer later when i do some funny sims

pale fable
#

Is convoke better for m0s right now?

lofty depot
#

no

#

u can likely use it tho if ur bored

pale fable
#

Oh

glad helm
#

Does it matter what you play on m0? it's kinda free content

lofty depot
#

yea is w.e.

glad helm
#

just do damuje

pale fable
#

Will convoke not see play then? Post patch i mean

lofty depot
#

it could see play

#

depends on what is needed in raid

pale fable
#

I assumed convoke was better since mobs die too quick for incarn to be worth it

lofty depot
#

convoke doesnt scale well into aoe

pale fable
#

I see

lofty depot
#

and right now its close convoke vs incarn on st

#

so ur just outright losing damage in aoe

pale fable
#

Ah

lofty depot
#

but agian, its m0s

#

can do w.e.

pale fable
#

Fair

#

Im looking forward to seeing if the builds change much with the buffs coming in

lost violet
#

raidbots sim is valid now? does it work as intended yet? havn't touched it since pre patch

pale fable
#

The buffs solidified my decision to main boomkin. Especially since shadow got giga nerfed in m+

if i see another ec sim

another quick question:
am i seeing it right, that i use lunar eclipse only if i can guarantee to hit 4+ targets with starfire? (except when i play elunes choosen)

jolly delta
acoustic sky
#

With the mastery change, is balance still going to be it's best in high keys, or will it be good in lower keys now?

loud kettle
jolly delta
lofty depot
#

ur still dotting things tho, need to for shooting stars

acoustic star
#

should I be aiming to weave an instacast between each starfire to ensure I'm not wasting any starweaver procs for EC? Without gimping my Astral Energy for Eclipse windows ofc...

lofty depot
#

u cant waste weaver procs unless u munch them which doesnt have anytihng to do with starfire

#

other hand, cosmos u can waste them

minor anchor
#

ye and it fckig sucks

lofty depot
#

?

#

have u considered using ur procs?

minor anchor
#

Yes, have you tried inputting surge into a wrath cast only to have your ap not change and get 3 seconds of solstice

#

NOT GOOD

lofty depot
#

have u considered pressing surge again

acoustic star
#

should I be aiming to weave an instacast between each starfire to ensure I'm not wasting any cosmos procs for EC? Without gimping my Astral Energy for Eclipse windows ofc...

lofty depot
#

the sim "plays like a human", it reacts to cosmos procs

#

if u get a cosmos proc u should be using it

minor anchor
#

U should be trying to structure your rotation in a way where hard casting 2 builders occurs as little as possible yes

minor anchor
#

I went trough this though exercise about a month ago, trying to figure out if cancelling a wrath to use the proc might be good. it isnt-

#

It obviously is more complex than this, like when thinking about what spells you actually cast in Boat windows and such

acoustic star
minor anchor
#

yeah it felled horrible

lofty depot
#

dont even track boat

minor anchor
#

What im actually implying that (on Single Target) you spend your Insta builder and than HARD cast a wrath between every single spender proc or not

#

avoiding AP overcap of course

#

so you minimaze wrath -> wrath sequance where you might munch a cosmos

#

so my Boat instead of being basically pure spenders will be bunch of builders

lofty depot
#

theres no boat variable in the sim

#

dont worry

frosty slate
#

i mean isnt there many reasons to spend in boat anyway? i also stopped tracking boat a while ago

minor anchor
#

yeah but apl quick sim recap doesnt play like that

lofty depot
#

thats because the way u think about it doesnt rely on that

minor anchor
#

Im also not "tracking boat"

minor anchor
#

but like im in my head trackin it because its kinda hard not to know when im pressing eclipse

lofty depot
#

ur dumping asp at start of eclipse and its doing it anyway

frosty slate
#

you want starlord anyway im presuming

lofty depot
#

for many reason

minor anchor
#

yes i forgot to add that

#

Im getting 3 starlord 1st 3 gcd's

during the opener for keeper, if a wrath triggers a free spender, do we just send that and then continue with the opener as written?

hmm, thought it wasnt needed at all

the orbit breaker change is big sad

#

those sheets are at best misinformation and at worst actively a scam by internet grifters

vital hound
#

gamz forgetting the talking points

sly wadi
lofty depot
vital hound
#

remember pressing that shit

lofty depot
sly wadi
#

gotcha, thanks, that makes sense

lucid olive
#

the only thing to care about there is not wasting a potential Cosmos proc

#

which you would only do the next time you use Wrath/Starfire

#

and after the 3 Wraths before pull you're not casting another Wrath/Starfire until after you've spent Starsurge

sly wadi
#

alright, then lets just throw one more wrench in there, lets say it was the first or second wrath, would you spend the cosmos proc, then wrath again and continue the opener? I know I'm being pedantic, but just trying to feel out how important the procs are

lucid olive
#

No because spending the proc pulls the boss

sly wadi
#

yup yup, right you are

is this a quiz show

that can also mess with ur procs
