damn i thought you were a poe2 purist

diablo 4 new season is out

minor anchor
#

Good One

jade flume
#

aint no way people play poe

pseudo merlin
#

is there warlock yet?

jade flume
#

no, end of april

pearl pivot

next week diablo 3 season is coming

jade flume
#

real?

pseudo merlin
#

atleast d4 ends after this xpac

#

full focus on d5

minor anchor
#

The ARPG Glory days where a D3 season would come out like 3 weeks before a poe league and you would chain those

pseudo merlin
#

d5 is gonne be great

jade flume
#

i wish poe was good

minor anchor
#

You mean Diablo : Immortal Reincarnated ?

pseudo merlin
#

no d5

jade flume
#

maybe poe2 will be one day

pseudo merlin
#

development has already started

minor anchor
#

im all in on Poe2

pseudo merlin
#

same, im a poe2 enjoyer

#

poe2 killed poe1 for me

runic kindle
#

I like poe2, druid feels incredible in that game, I hope they go back and fix some of the combo skills to feel a bit more like druid because I'm not a big fan of how some of the earlier released classes combos feel to use.

#

Once you get some items later in the game that sort of stuff kinda fixes, but the early game in poe2 is a lot more of a game than poe1 imo and I feel like it should feel good all the way up

pseudo merlin
#

just make volcano great

runic kindle
#

i'm also in the waiting for RF templar camp because thats my favorite poe1 build lol

minor anchor
#

...

runic kindle
#

shield charge and everything near you dies is fun and chill its like playing vampire survivors

minor anchor
#

redisgn the engine so the devs can make the sickest animation known to man

#

"let me play RF"

runic kindle
#

look I don't ALWAYS play RF, I just like it lol

pseudo merlin
#

lets keep 0/1 button builds out of poe2

#

thanks

#

poe1 already exists

runic kindle
#

I'm not asking for 0/1 button, I fully expect them to do some stuff where you have to ramp up the RF with combos and I think that sounds fun.

pseudo merlin
#

so... calamity

runic kindle
#

I just want the game feel of the original classes combos to be improved a bit. Lightning spear on huntress feels a little rough early for example.

pseudo merlin
#

but better I guess

runic kindle
#

yeah more or less

#

like I'm not saying buff the skills, just like....improve the feel of the interactions between the skills. Druid feels so smooth.

#

you can tell its the newest class released is what i'm saying

pseudo merlin
#

druid is awesome but it's so on rails its crazy

#

I hope that changes at some point

runic kindle
#

it is a bit too on rails thats fair

pseudo merlin
#

also volcano and bird fireballs are dead

runic kindle
#

for RF I imagine it'll be something that like, increases in intensity as you either consume a mark of some sort, or like, activates very powerfully, but briefly under certain circumstances.

pseudo merlin
#

That should just be like an alternative gem option for calamity

#

where it turns from an uptime skill to a bossing skill that just ramps up

runic kindle
#

yeah I mean however they wanna do it. As long as it has a similar feel to original RF, with just a bit more active gameplay.

round field
#

ravenous frenzy mentioned

runic kindle
#

different RF unfortunately lol

pseudo merlin
#

guys, for this tier which is the safe pick feral or balance ir your opinion?

lost violet
#

always play balance no matter what

mild chasm
#

thats sexey

minor anchor
#

Guys do you think I should play to not waster Starlord, eg I have 70 AP + Cosmos proc + 3 seconds of Starlord stack. Should I, in this instance 1, consume to proc and wait for Starlord and solstice to drop off before eclipse or 2, just send the eclipse play it from there ?

lofty depot

I'd have to look, I assume u send eclipse

Hey guys, I have a question: do you think Boomie will be okay in raids with the 20% buff? Are there any sims out yet?

Yes they will be

U can play keeper on aoe fights, we played keeper on stix just fine

My issue is that i was going to tank in m+ this season because i dont want to have queues, and now it seems its healer prison, but healer still has queues., so i think ill tank prison anyway xD

maiden crest

is there a full moon build or is it just too hard to min max? or is it just undertuned

Ok, and sims are the practicality of raid

carmine acorn

isnt EC easier to play therefor closer to sims ? xD

do we have any verdict on which weapon embellishment is simming the highest for us? the buff sim in pin shows "hunt" but the tooltip for that is very vague ("increase secondary stats depending on enemy type") and it seems to me getting the "wrong" stat would suck

lofty depot
#

Well the sim says otherwise

carmine acorn
#

the sim is on specific conditions, right? xD

past summit
#

I should have been more precise: do the Sims take into account Wednesday's adjustments? Is that okay with you?

lofty depot

And or the "right stat" is gooder anyway

Its not a good basis

My source is i made it the fuck up

past summit
#

Well, I'd say it's a basic information base, maybe not necessarily very good, but there's enough information to get an idea.

normal pilot
#

No its not

jolly delta
jaunty blaze
#

Ye very good idea to think ec will be the go to spec

jolly delta
#

That when added makes it obsolete

round field
#

what context

normal pilot
#

Sims simply are not made to compare classes with each other

round field
#

is there context to sims

past summit
normal pilot
#

Every class has different standards they develop to

jolly delta
round field
#

ok

#

so ur saying

#

all sims are fake

vale pebble
#

yes

jolly delta
round field
#

understandable

round field
jolly delta
#

because if you run the same kind of sim on your character then you get relative results that give good information

past summit
# round field is there context to sims

Well, since the raid has a lot of enemies and isn't purely single-target, that changes things a lot, I think, because they're often pure single-target simulations, and it also depends on the fight's duration.

#

Because the sims are often made in 5 minutes

Even just the fact that its 1t 4-6min already makes it not representative of the raid

After that, I think that given the raid fights with lots of addg, Boomie will be good, that's for sure. As for the pure numbers, that's another matter.

I usually play rdruid and tweak my own build for comfort and whatever fits my gameplay depending on what content, but I'm new to boomie and have no clue where to start from, dreamgrove still says its not up to date and wowhead/icyveins seem to have different builds and I don't know anything about who writes what and where's to get the "better" info and there's no content to try stuff in right now since everything that's available dies in 10 seconds.

you take all the guides, you check which information overlaps, you learn, you play, you improve

past summit

@dawn chasm What you can do is base your rotation on Wowhead in 1zr base and come here to confirm certain information about the rotation with the experienced players, and there's Twitch.

Best is crafting 2h and 2 items with embellishment (not using spark) for wednesday right?

but maybe I just fucked up

lofty depot
#

But that minmax is tiny as fuck

past summit
normal pilot
#

the duration or stat value is prolly the easiest to check in an instance

past warren
#

Also. Maybe a dumb question, but i assume that's what this discord is for. On bosses like Overgrown Ancient on Academy, or Lithiel on Murder Row where there is alot of small mobs being spawned, do I only use a SF or two, or do i actually spend gcd's on moonfires aswell? Feels like the mobs die before i get MF's off on all mobs and start casting Starfire and Starfall?

normal pilot
#

rppm would be annoying since you still can get lucky on 2 vs 4

jolly delta
#

And I would probably not mf all the small ones in AA

past summit
#

However, something happened yesterday that put me off: the price of enchanting certain rooms just for a little bit of avoidance...

lofty depot
#

But u can Starfall some

past warren
#

So don't spend gcd's on MF if it feels like it's dying too quick, only do a SF or two?

Hey all…. Stupid question, my guild asked me to re-roll balance instead of Resto… I saw the tuning changes, but in a state how is Balance sitting in a raid standpoint overall damage wise? Will I be sandbagging or comparable to most specs

royal zenith
#

feral is doing better, if you're comparing specs

#

but you'd have to check in an actual raid

#

sim dps is w.e.

lofty depot
#

I heard we don't compare specs

#

U'll be fine, balance fun and surely does damage

normal pilot
#

why do they want you to dps when you've been a healer

#

feral is prolly more familiar to a resto player?

jolly delta
normal pilot
#

oh unlucky

celest dirge
#

I heal to get into groups to be honest for m0s it’s just faster. I did catweave mostly towards the end of TWW so not a foreign concept

normal pilot
#

balance is reliant on standing still and casting, altho not as much as before, so that can trip up some resto players used to a lot of instants

celest dirge
#

But I’m now expected to be a chicken come thurs just trying to get some feelers out there on how people have felt balance to be so far and if that 20% tuning change was a positive improvement or not enough

normal pilot

it's good enough to make things within margin for blizz

Can only take so many Reddit comments with a grain of salt with their incessant whining on how underperforming balance was

you don't really have to worry a spec is going to be 'unviable' come raid time

there's no ETA it's a work in progress eventually it'll go away

#

The sim works, and if u find any bugs u can report it

jolly delta

Report them to arctic

Mmhm mmhm

Arctics fault if there's any bugs

I'll be the solution too

vale pebble
#

this is after u like

#

start a key

obsidian tapir
vale pebble
#

and u have the funny debuff

#

and they patched it after testing on feb 10

#

so im assuming they fixed it there

tawdry quest
#

For the 19% buff in the pins for tomorrow's tuning, I'm assuming that's st? Do we have any approximate numbers for keys/aoe pulls?

vale pebble
#

and it doesnt have zone tag so its bugged so it works everywhere no matter if ur in voidstorm or not

#

just not in m+ or raid

lucid olive
#

Can assume it's the same relative increase, maybe with bigger difference on like 10+ targets because of the 4set change but that's not really relevant

tawdry quest
#

Just wondered with the starfall nerf how much of an aoe balancer that ended up being to the aura. Still assuming a buff but

lucid olive
#

Starfire wasn't nerfed

#

Starfall was nerfed

tawdry quest
#

Sry. Typo.

lofty depot
#

Don't worry, the qa guy typo'd too

vale pebble
lucid olive
#

And it doesn't matter much, the biggest difference was the bugfix on the 4set

lofty depot
#

Starfall overall didn't get nerfed, the likely just didn't want to buff it as much

#

Which kinda sucks, cuz m+ looked a little low. But shrug

tawdry quest
#

So is it safe to say then that aoe is still buffed despite the wording of the post, just maybe a bit less than st

lucid olive
#

Yeah

lofty depot
#

U do more than Starfall in aoe

obsidian tapir
lofty depot
#

U just don't notice half of it

vale pebble
#

lowkey

lucid olive
#

I guess theoretically on like 40 targets you maybe lost damage because of 4set fix

obsidian tapir
vale pebble
#

go do that and report back

#

What is the probability that Blizzard will change how the Eclipse work? I really dislike the Eclipse Button

lucid olive
#

Less than 100% and more than 0% to happen in the next 2 years

lofty depot
#

Seeing how they left eclipse the way it was for 2 expansions, not likely

lean sun
#

0% chance they change it middle of an xpack lol

copper shore
#

sadge

obsidian tapir
lean sun
#

but it gets reworked every few xpacks so more than likely will happen again at some point

royal zenith
#

It will only change if the developer themselves don't like it

#

not because of our feedback

lofty depot
#

Maybe u'll like it when u do more content. Cuz it's objectively better

#

U likely dislike the feel cuz ur not used to it

#

Play a certain way for 4 years, that's going to naturally happen

obsidian tapir
earnest flame
#

I really like pressing the button

#

i think thats why i came back to the spec

vale pebble
#

there are 2 voidlust spells

#

they do basically the same thing

#

only one of those 2 has the not in raid/m+ tag

#

and thats not the one that procs from the trinket

#

so yea tldr it will most likely work unless they change it until then

Hi guys, im quite new to retail sim. I’m trying to sim my dudu, currently 242 ilvl and the outcome is 31k. Seems wrong for me. 5 min, 1 boss. Any advice what i’m doing wrong?

hello guys, just saw some sims claiming we gonna play Elune in raid ? what ur opinion about it ?

normal pilot
#

it's mechanically worse than kotg so you'd play it if it was sufficiently higher in dps

#

nobody knows if it's at that point yet

sick terrace
#

i saw less than 1k diff in sims between both tree

lofty depot
#

ec simmed more than keeper on ST last tier. EC in raid isnt practically good

#

u maybe play it on paladins boss

ok thank, i dont enjoy playin elune in raid, feels so bad

nobody really does for gameplay

both are fine to play

frigid galleon
#

do we know if feral or balance will be higher dps for raid yet with the tuning? Sims help with that yet or not out?

lofty depot
#

Raid isn't out, so no

frigid galleon
lucid olive
#

Sims are not useful for this unless the entire raid is single target boss on a 5 minute fight

jaunty blaze
#

judging by pure st sim numbers feral is ahead but thats not indicative of how a spec performs in raid

lucid olive
#

Making assumptions and decisions based on sim numbers across every class isn't recommended

true viper
#

Thats what they want you to think

#

Sims are everything

lucid olive
#

You can probably make assumptions based on sims within a class or within a spec

#

but across every class it doesn't really say anything

true viper
#

Classic sim propaganda

jaunty blaze
#

trust big sim

#

buy the sheet

#

consume tierlist content

lucid olive
#

Those sim lists are only used for the first few weeks before the season anyway

#

After that they are only checked in dogshit guilds when someone tries to defend hoarding Power Infusion

#

and people go on to use the wclogs statistics page and take that as gospel instead

#

which is more accurate than the sim lists at least

jaunty blaze
#

if only ppl wouldnt take them at face value

velvet badge
#

Hey chaps , would it smart to craft 1h dagger and offhand tommorow? got 0 luck on m0 weapons wowhead showsing 2h

jaunty blaze
#

no

lucid olive
#

which is probably not normal raid

#

also, using your sparks to craft a staff early doesnt really matter cause you won't be spending crests on it

jaunty blaze
#

if you absolutely cant surpress the urge craft a 2hand at least

lucid olive
#

it's just a gamble cause if you spend 4 sparks on a staff and then get a weapon in an early vault you'll feel bad

#

but its the same gamble with one hand and off-hand

sturdy pumice
#

Rattle the Stars with Elune's Guidance on Incarn is like a machine gun of starsurges

velvet badge
#

offhand craft is bis according to wowhead

#

hence my question

lofty depot
#

Bis doesn't mean u craft it early

jaunty blaze
#

lets say you do craft both main and off hand

lofty depot
#

Click the early crafts tab innit

jaunty blaze
#

you now need 80 crests for both to upgrade

#

which equals 160 crests

#

whereas a 2hand only needs 80

#

for about the same power

velvet badge
#

ah i see it's the crests

#

ok

jaunty blaze
#

somewhere far down the line of the season a mainhand offhand combo will maybe become better

#

but it also depends on whether you really need the early power of the craft

#

you can also be patient and wait for your first mythic vault

Erm, awkward, but I am breaking my solemn vow. Below is the copy paste of what I threw in the RLE discord.

@WhomstEverCares - The last few tiers I released a spreadsheet before the start of a new tier that ranks and compares guilds based on region and number of days raided.

I'm not releasing one this tier.

I gave myself a deadline of March 17 to see if I can wrangle the data appropriately, and I do not have a product that I think is high enough quality to put out for the community. I have the Hall of Fame data and a great interview with one of the most-improved guilds from LoU to MF:O, but I think that releasing partial data would be an outrageously bone-headed move.

Additionally, my partner-in-crime who runs guildranks.com is taking a hiatus and has discontinued the website. I am also, possibly, taking a season or two off from the game I have a lot (of good stuff!) going on in my personal life and I cannot give the project the time and attention that it requires.

I know, it sucks. I feel quite guilty about it. I would like to come back to the project in 2027, but I do not want to make a promise I cannot keep. Thank you all for your encouragement and enthusiasm along the way. I hope to call on you once more for your understanding. Best of luck this tier ❀️

the amount of dslice sims didnt go down

yes cuz dslice was yellow banner

jaunty blaze

no warning will ever work

ah yes true

and now everyone asks about "when are druid sims available???" when they see the red banner

oh right ya

i wonder how many ppl use the bypass

so moonkin number definitely went down for dslice

we replace compendium with a link to simc and to druid's spell list

U have assumptions on sims what talents work well with another and then raid comes out and u test what builds garner the most damage

But we don't know until raid is actually out

So uhhhh poggers

Pray that everyone above us gets a aura nerf and we stay the same

they are dragons

But woudn't they be resto ?

they will only swap to druid if it's like op

and rightfully so

lofty depot

Good pun, but liquid is very fluid with the druid role. They have all 4 specs covered if and when they need it

maiden pasture

Sang had one druid levelled xd

Goop has like 9

Yeah Shay might be astro shagging on feral this tier

i'm tightening up my ST prio list. is it ever worth using an ascendant eclipse stack on starfall if i have a starweaver proc and not enough AP for SS, or should i always be going into eclipse with enough AP to SS 3x to use all stacks?

lofty depot
#

U use the weaver proc yes

lucid olive
#

technically yes to both

#

you want to enter eclipse with enough resources to use 3 Starsurge, but if one of them procs a free Starfall its probably better to use it

lofty depot
#

If u had all 3 procs, both weavers and cosmos. U would press surge > surge > starfall

#

Should maybe test the chance and see if munching that Starfall is ok

lofty depot
#

Or did it use Starfall weaver proc always

lucid olive
#

used weaver yeah

proven rampart
#

got it, thanks all. so it's not really the end of the world to use a stack on a free starfall if it comes up

lofty depot
#

It's likely within 0.1%

#

Or lower lol

proven rampart
#

ah okay, didn't know it was that close of a margin, good to know

lofty depot
#

Think the sim from base with that added line was only 0.1% to begin with or

nimble tangle
#

oh so misclicked on starfall is fine? Even EC build

#

I mean first 3 ascendant eclipse stacks

Just because ur playing EC, doesn't mean u pressing starfall in st without a proc

#

Only when touch the cosmos proc

well whens that

lofty depot
nimble tangle
#

First 3 ascendant stacks

drifting nova

it's incredibly dumb this is even a scenario where starfall is better than starsurge on st

U surge the cosmos proc when u have those 3 stacks

blizz fix yo shit

First 3 stacks no matter what

Surge
