lucid olive
#

why would the builds be for pure st

spice roost
#

convoke

lucid olive
#

what about this one

lofty depot
lucid olive
#

there are 2 builds recommended

spice roost
lucid olive
#

you can play whatever talents you want

#

no way to know 100% what talents will be best for a raid that isnt out yet

sour basin
#

Heyo, with current opener do we clip our eclipse off as soon as we have enough asp to trees/FoE + incarn + dump ascendant eclipse stacks, or wait for starlord to fall off before we do the CD dump?

ocean atlas
#

its just me or sometimes ur treants dont dot?

sour basin
#

radiant cloud
#

For a split alt boomkin that will not get any loot weeks 1&2 at least... would you craft 2h weap or mainhand + offhand? 🤔

lucid olive
#

ye

#

thats probably what im doing on both my split druids

radiant cloud
#

Yeah I am sure on weapon slot, but will you go for a staff? Or go for the 1h/offh combo?

delicate perch
lucid olive
#

who knows

#

might craft a polearm

delicate perch
#

do not do that

surreal heron
#

im p sure thats what most people are doing, most of my crafter buddies are broke as hell rn

lofty depot
delicate perch
#

ya

nimble tangle
spice roost
#

do we ever use trees with just the eclipse button or do we only use it with incarn

wicked shuttle
#

ya you use it with eclipse most of the time even

#

you basically never wanna trees without either eclipse or incarn

lofty depot
delicate perch
#

what about foe

lofty depot
#

before trees

#

without nb u press it after u dump asurges and then u spam wrath then sunfrie trees incarn

#

silly openers

delicate perch
#

I am not thinking about all that

#

if button there I press

unique mirage
#

Am i looking at something wrong or is the talents in dreamgrove and wowhead completely different? (EC - M+ build)

lofty depot
#

dreamgrove isnt updated

spice roost
#

i dont think dreamgrove compendium is updated

unique mirage
#

ah sorry about that, saw the "Updated: 15th of March" at the top right and misunderstood

#

thanks

spice roost
#

im cconfused on the priority between the cds

lofty depot
#

incarn do be better than eclipse yes

dull dust
#

r u sure

jolly delta
unique mirage
#

thanks though

spice roost
#

1 last thing is it better if u have eclispe or incarn rdy and u are at low on ap do u wait to use it til u have high ap

jolly delta
#

But it doesn't mean that all the info is fully updated

lucid olive
#

when you feel it in your bones that you wanna do some dmg

#

thats when you press it

nimble tangle
#

also, are EC talent builds updated in wowhead

lucid olive
#

sure

nimble tangle
#

HUH a bit different from what i see in chinese community

quiet drift
#

What do you see in chinese community

lucid olive
#

big fans of 1m convoke those guys

nimble tangle
#

KOTG is the same

#

EC a bit different

Wait u have to finish our apl first

dull dust
fervent harbor
#

for a balance druid who is new is to the class and spec is "Keeper of the Grove" better or "Elune's Chosen" better in regards to simplicity to play

lofty depot
#

i mean everything is simple, build and spend. EC might be easier to think about "swapping eclipses" sometimes....

#

but ur casting a starfire for fun and thats not fun

fervent harbor
#

I think that is where i stuggle the most is with the eclipses

#

like is it normal to sometime not have an eclipse up i try to juggle it the best i can but sometime im waiting for it to cooldown

lofty depot
#

yes, u wont have ecliipse up always

fleet ocean
#

When will we have the guide?

lucid olive
#

when its done being written

#

amen

dull dust
#

write faster

lofty depot
dull dust
#

it is better

#

convoke ec isn't useful by any metric

#

even if it sims better

lofty depot
#

why not

#

people played ec on soulbinder

#

i believe in u

lost violet
#

wait is EC going to be pair or better than keeper for ST fights? ;O

Most players in general

Just afk half the fight

lofty depot
#

for context, are u most players?

#

gotta make sure my apl writer is the goat or not

bleak kiln
#

So i lvled a lock just because I like demo and boomy looked awful going into the xpac. Boomy is usually my preferred dps though, is it worth to level a boomy as the buff seems pretty significant?

dull dust
bleak kiln
#

Thats what I saw and heard from everyone yea

lofty depot
#

tuning =/=

bleak kiln
#

I personally thought it felt smoother to play in dungeons after the changes

lofty depot
#

boomy is fun to play currently

lost violet
#

i played boomy since mop, and thought i would go play hunter this xpac, but then I saw 20% and was like WHAT! nooo waaay

lofty depot
#

the playstyle changed from the last 4 years

bleak kiln
#

The boomy in my guild completely dropped it as his main for 10+ years

lofty depot
#

it was undertuned

lofty depot
bleak kiln
#

Yea I enjoy the playstyle, but didnt want to play an undertuned dps trying to pug keys

lofty depot
#

we usually get buffs

#

last tier we werent very good til after rwf

#

this time we got buffed prior to rwf

#

big poggy

bleak kiln
#

Yea I dont necessarily want like the best damage in the world, but I played it in dragonflight and my god the ST was bad

dull dust
#

nerfed 3% in a month

bleak kiln
#

It felt awful in boss fights but okay on trash. So felt pretty shit in raid

zealous loom
#

Hello guys. I have a questions.

Is raidbots simulation still with errors? If yes, are you guys using another simulation website?

lofty depot
#

it works

#

theres not other sim sites

zealous loom
#

Oh really? I'll take a look at that rn

lofty depot
#

that message is there so u dont take what u see as gospel

#

the buffs arent in, u can use the overrides if u want but nonetheless

oak inlet
#

Hello, old ret main going to play boomy this time around, do you guys keep the discord open when numbers are not there ?

lofty depot
#

yes

lost violet
#

i will try to sim some later, busy fishing atm. But what i've seen here the last hours is keeper now use FOE, is it big change or small? i have yet stayed to the "old" build

lofty depot
#

often times we start talking about keybinds, whats for lunch, baseball. all kinds of things

lofty depot

and good for asp gen

its less damage, but if u hate it ...

lofty depot
#

shooting stars arent from starfall

delicate perch
#

too many stars in our spells pls rename them all

lofty depot
#

but with meaning cosmos and weaver procs, solstice will proc more

wicked shuttle
#

was he talking about starweaver

lofty depot
#

yes ik, im getting there

#

SILENCE

wicked shuttle
#

i was just asking

lofty depot
#

yea he hates it

#

but because weaver interacts with hail of the stars... getting more free stuff makes more shooting stars

normal pilot
#

hm. midnight classes are such a giant mess. less actual buttons but twice the bloated procs

lofty depot
#

but the tier shooting star is different from the others were procing. Ur pressing more surges and starfalls so ur change to proc them is higher. Rattle is basically wanting those spenders to do more damage rather than having more of those spenders

normal pilot
#

wtf is the abilities table an entire page long

lofty depot
#

procs are fun!

LMFAO

you are actively making theorycrafting worse by supporting it tho

rare shoal

Supporting what

#

The sheet?

normal pilot
#

ppl do get sick & tired of having to deal with the sheet that they lose motivation to work on simc

#

so it does have a negative

Kinda fuckin sick of it tbh but im just a guy that answers questions im not a theorycrafter Sippies

normal pilot

yeah there's no covering it up it cuases problems and anything you do to help it ocme out you are contributing to the problem

rare shoal
#

Its only relevant for a few weeks at most in the community but its just exhausting

#

Gotta deal with constant "But sheet says" and similar

topaz venture
#

the raid barely has any st anyway

lucid olive

its the metric people go off until week 2 of the raid and they start going off wclogs raid rankings

#

lmfao

rare shoal
#

But its worse now that its behind a paywall

wicked shuttle
#

comparing classes in sims is just horrendous

rare shoal

Which is its own thing

lofty depot
wicked shuttle
#

@lofty depot you should submit a profile to github so we can get some PI sims

rare shoal
wicked shuttle
#

i know a guy with a free version

normal pilot
#

you can submit profiles directly to bloodmallet if you want ot use that

#

you prolly should do that since you can customize profiles for aoe vs st or w/e you want

crude cobalt
#

is there any guidance around overcapping eclipse charges? is it a hard no or is it situational? if I have 2 eclipse and 1 incarn charge, what do I use?

lofty depot
#

ur in an overcapping at the start of the fight, but were using 1 before incarn

#

and then when ur ending incarn ur in the range of overcapping

#

incarns usage is based on other factors like trees and trinket

#

if ur overcapped on eclipses when those are up, lets call it 2 minutes. you likely didnt use an eclispe somewhere and messed up

crude cobalt
#

makes sense, so at pull use incarn with trinkets and potion if applicable and then start spending eclipse charges?

lofty depot
#

we use an eclipse charge on opener

#

but then build asp then incarn ye

Why exactly do we opt to craft and OH over using a 2H? I haven't seen the reasoning listed before but I do see the OH pop up all over in talks/guides. Is it just because it gives more options for upgrades?

sour basin
#

Just so I'm understanding, Is there a reason that we spend cosmos on starfall over surge in ST? AK + Meteorites + Weaver surge proc chance being higher? I kinda like slamming the aoe button on ST if it's free

lofty depot
#

i dont think were running meteroites a lot of the time

#

but yea kindling good, and the proc on weaver is higher so higher chance to get more surges which then gives more solstice

#

its just a loop

sour basin
#

Gotcha alright. I think the wowhead kotg incarn build has meteorites on it

#

waiting for dreamgrove to get updated

#

appreciate it

lofty depot
#

its the same writer

so same info

but u guess at raid talents until u get there

I have a question regarding cd management in EC: how do we manage 2 incarnations and 2 eclipse? Do we alternate them or give priority to incarnation (boss fight)?

jaunty blaze
#

You use them as the fight demands

#

Can be back to back

#

Or for when adds spawn for example

#

But you want to use your eclipse stacks in between

#

To not waste them

#

Just a simple example would be start fight with eclipse. Use the instant cast and then enter incarn

You dot everything then enter eclipse

#

If you get a touch of the cosmos proc you use that

#

Then use you instant starfire

#

Then you press foe into incarn

#

But you don't build up starlord stacks

#

Because incarn overrides them anyway

where do you get the 3rd spark

Ooh, ok now I got it, thanks.

royal zenith

(sanity check for myself)

jaunty blaze

Uh weekly quest

royal zenith
#

1st = world tour
2nd = weekly

jaunty blaze

You got 2 in week 1

royal zenith
#

what's the 3rd?

jaunty blaze
#

2nd weekly

royal zenith
delicate perch

weekly + world tour was last week

you either missed a week or have this weeks to do

jaunty blaze

I think you can get catchup in delves

royal zenith

take game at ur own pace stop treating it as wikislip

stop caring

wow

royal zenith

this is worse than a breakup...

royal zenith

I dunno, we have a raidgroup

and I don't want to int progress

#

so why would I not care

#

IQNI?

round field
#

why not int raid progress?

#

i do that every tier

#

and every tier we get higher ranks

#

therefore inting prog = better wr

now im not playing

and we will be worse

Man how hyped are we for babamkin though

its gon pipe

best part of boomkin buffs is waking up and seeing jb malding on twitter

thats the real hype

A bit harder than before but no

Weill I only know how to play Hunter MM we have 4 buttons ><

blizzard made sure no spec in the game is hard

Where can I fine the rotation? Is wowhead One Nice ?

methinks

jade flume

its normal to have a main or

sure

but if u have an equally geared char

and they say no

#

theyre weird

jade flume
#

@leaden gazelle If you care about tuning perspective then wait for mythic week to decide since thats when we get tuning again

leaden gazelle
#

You right, but for gear stuff, at the start of the xpac I think it's fair.

jade flume
#

if you dont really care then just try both and decide after, i think both classes look ok

#

If you like to play off specs tho, druid is nice

round field
#

very simple actually tho

leaden gazelle
#

True that just that I have played Hunter since BC.
Usually I don't care much, but i was also thinking to play heal at some point.

round field
#

whichever spec u pick will be worse and you will wish you rolled the other one

leaden gazelle
jade flume
#

After recent tuning balance also looks not terrible if we can trust the sims

#

and honestly its a pretty fun spec in dungeons when you can dot stuff around and spam some starfalls

twin lotus
#

boomie is giga fun

vital swift
#

the best way is to stop caring about tuning and play whichever spec you like most

twin lotus
#

depends on what ur goals are

#

but yes , if you are not having fun you are probably not getting very far

vital swift
#

be benched and have others to kill bosses for you

jolly delta
#

As to whether it's annoying only you can tell

jade flume
#

Yeah i dont tab to dot, i just click on the nameplates and dot whatever is missing

#

im already used to it so i dont mind it tbh, especially on bamkin with no cast time on dots, sunfire dotting everything in range and twin moons dotting 2 mobs at a time

#

doesnt take long and easy to sustain with starfall extends

jolly delta
#

It's like 3-4 clicks per pull. I don't mind it either

#

Gives me something to do while tank is setting the pack

jade flume
#

Compared to shadow priest if u missed shadow crash back in the day Despair

#

8 full casts to get a pack dotted up

vital swift
#

what is annoying about it is that i cannot filter debuffs and cant see what mob doesnt have Moonfire on it

jade flume
#

Fix ur nameplates

jaunty blaze
#

Time to fix your eyes then

vital swift
#

i use jundies

jaunty blaze
#

Nothing else to do but track the icon

#

I use jundies aswell

vital swift
#

mb higher cvar would fix

#

need to try it

jade flume
#

What is the problem with nameplates though

vital swift
#

it overlaps in big pulls

#

its hard to see whats dotted and what not

jade flume
#

yeah i guess can increase the vertical stack overlap then

#

but i generally also have stuff dotted up before they are stacked

#

makes it a bit easier to do during setup

#

as long as you know you wont just pull aggro

vital swift
#

depends on tank

jaunty blaze
#

For what it's worth it's less punishing to not have every single mob dotted

vital swift
#

we dont have to dot every single mob, only thicc ones

#

with mf

jaunty blaze
#

You don't lose mastery value anymore

jade flume
#

Depends how long they live generally

round field
#

bring back nameplate colors

#

cringe change

jade flume
#

But if its some shitter mobs that are in packs of 20 and die in 6s

#

then yeah dont bother ofc

its better not to lose it

round field

#

ya with an addon u can have nameplate colors

#

platynator or plater

round field
#

so ur saying theres an addon that lets me change nameplate colors when i dot them

jaunty blaze
#

But you can't color code based on dots applied

maiden pasture
#

think thats a lie

jaunty blaze
#

Can you

maiden pasture
#

its just based on mob names / types

round field
#

nice misinformation spread

maiden pasture
#

it wont update on dots

spice roost
#

oh not for dots i thought u meant for like other thingds

jaunty blaze
round field
#

nah that i dont care about

#

only dots

jaunty blaze
#

I'm fine with that either way never paid attention to the nameplate color

vital swift
#

that change sucks big balls, they didnt even gave us an alternative

#

i used to be able to filter buffs

#

now its gone 😉

jaunty blaze
#

It is what it is

#

Adapt and overcome or something

vital swift

leaden gazelle
#

Tbf I never used nameplate before except from the native one.
Seems like I’m losing out on something.

carmine acorn
#

Guys, icy veins says keeper is best for m+ and wowhead says EC is best for m+ xD

jaunty blaze
#

Both playable

carmine acorn
#

does that change on next reset?

jaunty blaze
#

No

carmine acorn
#

what are the upsides and downsides of each?

south zephyr
jaunty blaze
#

Both are relatively similar

#

Kotg is more diverse in what spells you use

#

Probably more fun

#

EC is starfire simulator

south zephyr
#

For longer fights Keeper will scale more and higher opener dps.. but you need to test that out when you play m+ 10 dungeons or above

slender island
#

by the same token, isn't keeper a wrath simulator? 🙂

carmine acorn
#

in m+? i sure hope not

jaunty blaze
#

Not in m+ no

carmine acorn
#

ahah

slender island
#

ah missed the m+ context ^^

jaunty blaze
#

The thing is you can play based on preference up to a certain point in m+

#

Try out what you like more and roll with that

frigid yoke
#

tried both dmg was similar depended more on the packs. with large packs ec did more

jaunty blaze
#

Tbf you won't find any meaningful indicator of performance in m0 for boomie

#

Everything dies too fast

frigid yoke
#

yup

#

then again u dnt have to dot

#

u can open with starfires and starfall if they die quick fck dotting

dawn chasm
#

genuine question, is there a good reason eclipse is now a button when midnight has been about pruning? do we like the change? is there a good thing coming from it?

jaunty blaze
#

Yes you dont have to cast twice anymore

obtuse jungle
#

personally i like it idk about other people

frigid yoke
#

hmm

#

upside is u can time it urself

teal dragon
#

i dont like the gcd on eclipse

frigid yoke
#

i rather just had 1 cast to enter eclipse ngl

dawn chasm
#

I haven't played boomie since bfa but i'm gonna have to since there's no healing spots for now, so i'm trying to wrap my head around this new iteration

lofty depot
obtuse jungle
#

the fact you can choose when you do it urself make it like maybe high skill ceiling i guess ?

#

or better control

#

idk how to say it properly

frigid yoke
obtuse jungle
#

its m0 brother chill XD

#

wait till mob has 20M hp they won't die in 1 gcd XD

vital swift
coarse wind
#

3 people using xd in a row man what year is it

teal dragon
#

also the gcd is shorter

obtuse jungle
#

its a good point

lofty depot
#

Well they do that to differentiate it

teal dragon
#

feels totaly out of place

lofty depot
#

It's suppose to be worse

#

The gcd feels bad, but the 2 starfires before didn't?

jaunty blaze
#

It's really not a hard thing to get used to

frigid yoke
#

good thing is out 4set gives us a good dmg boost for now

lofty depot
#

What u mean for now

frigid yoke
#

prolly will be adjusted as they said they will be balancing allot

lofty depot
#

They just did that

obtuse jungle
#

they did that but compasated the gcd with dammage on apex talents

frigid yoke
#

they will again before mythic raid

lofty depot
#

It was at one point 20%

obtuse jungle
#

so its not a uselees gcd wasted in a sense and you can get some dmg out of it

lofty depot
#

It's now 12

teal dragon
#

also a shorter one at that

#

feels weird

lofty depot
frigid yoke
#

are there sims for all classes with new update ?

teal dragon
#

didnt feel weird cause it was part of the rotation

lofty depot
#

It's part of the rotation

obtuse jungle
spice roost
frigid yoke
#

i rather click eclipse with full resources then standing there shooting 2 starfires while shit is targeting u xD

lofty depot
#

Imagine doing a mechanic and u can't cast Starfire to get into eclipse

teal dragon
lofty depot
#

Eclipse does damage

teal dragon
#

thats why they attached so many damage parts to these kind of cds

lofty depot
#

And times change

teal dragon
#

nah its ass

lofty depot
#

No u

teal dragon
#

blocked

lofty depot
#

It's objectively better

cedar forge
#

Like talking to a brick wall

spice roost
#

if u dont like it

teal dragon
#

what u mean

lofty depot
#

Casting 2 starfires during mechanics where ur now stuck not in eclipse wa objectively shit

pseudo merlin
#

Do we have another "eclipse button bad" chatter

frigid yoke
lofty depot
#

If u can't see that u either didn't do said content or can't see past ur dislike for the smallest thing like a halfgcd on an instant cast

spice roost
#

i could tell u but they dont matter

teal dragon
#

i literally never said anything about it being worse or better than what it was before

frigid yoke
spice roost
#

raid has 0 st bosses

frigid yoke
#

so eclpse works

teal dragon
#

i just said attaching a gcd to eclipse feels bad

#

nothing more nothing less

frigid yoke
lofty depot
#

U said a gcd feels bad, now it's the CD. Me confusion

obtuse jungle
#

literally its supposed to be designed better, before you had to do both starfire or wrath to get into eclipse, but not you just use your eclipse while a moving mechanic is happening and you just run while doing starsurge or starfall and keep your dps UPTIME as maximum if you do it well enough instead of running around in circle being mad cause if you waste ap you fuck yourself over

cedar forge
pseudo merlin
#

Not really

lofty depot
#

Which in case, the CD change is to get us off of a needlessly annoying maintenance buff

pseudo merlin
#

How much they care bout it is always funny

teal dragon
#

i am just saying the gcd part feels weird

#

especially cause its shorter

obtuse jungle
#

ye but it does dmg too cause of apex talents

#

they have to do a gcd on it

#

anything that do dmg has a gcd somehow

teal dragon
#

hmm i dont know i dont really feel its that impactful damage wise

jolly delta
#

Also you wouldn't like it if it was off GCD

teal dragon
#

why not

obtuse jungle
#

think about us peeking 1 gcd faster

lofty depot
#

Cuz we would be doing some dumb shit

jolly delta
#

You'd be complaining about the fact that you have to macro it

#

But also need to have keybinds not to macro it

obtuse jungle
#

and being able to get 2 starsurge with 40% crit instead of one at 40 and 1 at 36

#

it change a bunch of stuff

#

maybe that why

jolly delta
#

And you'd be doing some bullshit where you macro it with other abilities

teal dragon
#

hmm basically the same way secret technique on sub is bound to shadow dance but u also have it as its own keybind

jolly delta
#

And you'd be like oh no I macroed it to Starfire but now I have to move and I lost uptime

lofty depot
#

Also, in aoe, the bolts are ass

teal dragon
#

i dont think it feels that bad personally

lofty depot
#

In st they do like 4.5% damage

teal dragon
#

i am not sure if i would bind eclipse

jolly delta
#

Having a spell on GCD means the class is tuned for it to be on GCD

teal dragon
#

to another spell

jolly delta
#

Which means that you can use that GCD to move

obtuse jungle
#

just press your button faster so you can catch up on that fast gcd XD

teal dragon
lofty depot
#

Maybe u'll think it's better when raid starts

#

Surely

teal dragon
#

yeah i dont know i think its better than before but i still dont like the gcd

#

it feels out of place

#

but everybody can have his own opinion

lofty depot
#

Bet ur problem is u had it one way for multiple years and now it's changed

#

Playing with it for 12 minutes and make some assumptions

#

After the first tier u won't give a shit

pseudo merlin
#

We need a "random chatter gcd button take" doc

lofty depot
#

Maybe I need to bait more to get better reactions

its getting as silly as random things dgers say
