also am i just giga griefing by going EC in raid? im not really experienced using keeper and im not gonna be raiding seriously on my druid but i also dont wanna be doing 20% less dmg than i should
im fine doing like 5% less or something
If you're casually raiding its fine
i did it quick 
not quick enough
i mean if ur raiding casually its whatever
onl paper theyre close
but in practice ec just kinda sucks in raid scenarios
i see people using it on h 3 pally fight
ec does a lot of dam on paladins
ya
idk about mythic but norm/heroic you can payphone that fight
ya
tuning aside, main argument against EC in raid is usually bc starfire is a long cast which sucks for mobility, but touch and starweaver helps to mitigate that significantly
a lot of it
Does it tho
cleared yesterday as EC full time and it felt alright
is starweaver vs rattle a big dmg difference assuming i minimize movement?
im generally good at positioning ahead so movement shouldnt be too big of an issue for me
Most talents are close to each other in dmg
welcome to boomie where 80% of our talents are close in damage
This trinket isnt mentioned in the Compendium. Is it that trash or forgotten/just hard to sim?
welcome to wow
Playing EC gonna lead to -20%
-100 aura
Idk how well it sims but most ppl complain the souls are hard to see/collect
If you're not good enough to play KoTG you're probably also not good enough to avoid 30% cancelled starfire casts
well its less about skill and moreso that i dont wanna invest the effort to learn it since its my alt
ive just never really had to play it
i usually do m+ only
so ive always played EC
Go 1 button rotation
aight ill try out kotg
no but you just enable the cd assistant and you press them when they light up
yolo how bad can it be
I think cds you need to do yourself
ah i see
The prio list makes it sound more scary than it really is
But in practice it's just "cast stuff on CD as long as it aligns"
and "spend procs"
(pretty much like any other caster/class in this game)
It's almost the same but you cast wrath instead
Electronic cash

deux thoughts on the new compendium revamp
whats different..
smh....
you guys crafting weapon with hero crests this week or upgrade next week with gilded?
no crests + upgrading
Not hero crests
never hero crests
kk, ty
Natty sparks only
and I could get my 2 set now when I use my transform, should I go for it or wait my weekly?
Always resist when offered PEC at your local dreamgrove
๐
Hold it
because if you catalyst into a piece you then get in your vault you will be sad
ok last time i looked at kotg the treants were 45s and thats a big part of what threw me off lmao, treants being 1 min makes it way easier
true
best case I get my 4 set next week, worst case in 2 weeks
2nd catalyst + probably we will get a token again when we go for heroic last boss or m+10?
I mean they still are if you play inc
You get a charge yes
2k rating, aotc or 1600 rating gives you one charge.
so essentially unless you get ridiculously unlucky in vault you need to get one piece of tier set from the raid
Looks cleaner
still old skool look though
personally I think you can also make buttons like these stand out more
color the icon or make it more obvious it's drop-down etc.
who do you think I am, a designer???
hell yeah

the design itself rn is pretty much a copy/design from how it used to be
in my humble opinion, you should be allowed to venture into more fun and better things...
but that's up to you guys
I wouldnt go that far
I should be more specific: the style
the design is dif ye
it's a lot better than how it used to be
subjective ofc
wat how
What is that legion
Shadowlands
also ty for moving me to play kotg i already got a 77 parse on the 1st boss no idea wtf im doing
ok so do i hold it for 15s or rip it? assuming i have incarn up
assuming hold it since u said to line them up earlier
To be completely honest the APL just seems to be sending both treants and foe on CD
I am not 100% sure if this is intended or missing a couple of conditions because reasons

That said, sending everything on CD always is like a marginally worse than optimal rotation

So you can't go wrong
I think you just align coolies in actual raid environment
yeah same
I would suspect so too but I'm not sure why the APL doesnt do it
and in a 5 minute fight on ST, standing still, sending everything on cd just marginally loss
or within threshold
kinda interesting though
just confirms my thoughts on shit mattering so lil
better to focus on good placement of your manual shrooms during add cleave...
never trust big sim
truthnuke
Buy the ui
or rather actually read the line that says this isnt a guide how to play ur character
What the helly
sounds good ty i appreciate the help!
but surely if playing differently gives different results then sim could be higher

unless..
"garbage" is basically no APL
so if you factor variance in....
Druids with 4 tier set and the recent buff
IS INSANE!!
infinite AP and spam starfall
THIS IS CRAZY!!
i did LFR and normal and cleared 3 bosses on HC
got my full tier set
i'm having a blast
i cant wait
glad you're having fun
this loss is so minimal
gg's bamkin proper dead
and people complain about an extra button to press ๐ญ
its like warrior of elune
for insta starfire
the eclipse
its useless anyway
since u spam AP
yeh
Only thing about s3 was executing your cd windows correctly
@dull dust does APL want you to cast moonfire/sunfire before sending cd's
ya but that was somethign i had issues with ther double ca thing but thats gone
how big is the loss if you don't do that
meddy?
the lil dungeon res bot
oh
Pixal was killing trash in m0 
Rwf players skipping too much
@lucid olive can you answer my question
thought you were sleeping
cause it's during the day...
blame bad pugs
Sunfire yes not Moonfire
Interesting
so if I would theoratically want to frontload my damaguur
I could also just not cast dots
Season started sleep schedule good now (I had dentist app at 8am yesterday)
๐ค
The point is to not waste globals refreshing dots inside your CDs
yeah I'm just thinking of situations where adds live like a few seconds
definitely not for padding purposes
hehe..
lol
with the mastery change and all
I dunno, dot's a nice-to-have in practical situations
we'll see
advice should always be cast before anyway
Shooting stars piping tho
in terms of playing spec properly
numbers slightly skewed cause I have weird ahh consumables
dont they also proc shooting stars so thats more valuable with 2set ya
Who knows
dont u work remote
bloodmallet 
Im being lied to!
hmm should i run active mushrooms on twin dragons?
Why
10seconds even
60s
okay convinced

This is 30s
it should be less loss the shorter the burst
theoratically
so yeah
there's still pad potential
I'd be surprised any adds will live longer than 20 seconds anyway
unless big phat one spawned
in raid that is
I mean clearly this tells nothing about that
lord knows what hp mythic adds will have
You'd want a sim no CDs no nothing etc
just stand where smallies spawn and proc a instant starfire

and mabey die
but worth
stand in the middle of the motes spawning
so you can bait breath on top of the group
oh I was baiting that, terrible rng...
cant wait to get 4p and beat frost mages since they gain nothing hardly from tier
iirc the tier set is like 1 or 2% for them
sorry u wont beat this absolute monster
did salhadaar normal, topped the dmg meter and the wraps trinket dropped, the 23k dps devourer DH wins the roll :D
my raidleader told me he wants mage
Neither am I
gg

gg
imagine rolling
Nice expert gg...
I have to play a hunter. It's very sad
hahahah

watch us get buffed in tuning on tuesday that would be so funny
I've had to spend the first raid days screaming about how i fucked the tanks mothers for hours on end the moment any mob is ever out of MMs cleave range. Playing as an authentic hunter is exhausting.
Wouldn't even catch me lvl one
same
what are you yapping
what prepull convoke

Jestermaxxing
Doesn't hit anyone in combat or
Have they changed that shii
why would u prepull covoke
need to minmax 10sec fights
lol
Thereโs a guide on archon site saying we should play both with convoke and fury of Elune talents ( on KotG spec tree ) is this legit or what ?
Tried it yesterday on raid , 244 Iilvl and had opener was like 120k dps and mid fight and steady was like 50
Sure , one sec
maybe someone will look at it
but yes kotg uses foe in alot of stuff
i would follow compendium tho
not archon
Tyvm for that info as well ( checking the logs )
np
btw for the EC talents here, what makes meteorites optional as opposed to bis? is it basically just higher key level = greater value and thus right now its not obviously better to run? or is the dmg just pretty mid
ohhh
Hey people - I've jumped back into WoW since the turn of the expansion, I have gone for levelling up my Druid, from a long long time ago!
ok wait i thought i understood at first but i dont really get it, it says every time starfall does dmg. is that like every tick it only hits 1 target or is it every target per tick causes a meteorite?
that im not 100% sure of i just know the talent only is hitting one mob
How much crest u get from tier 11 delve?
It's just 1 target
I can't actaully remember which exp I was balance druid main, but it was a long time ago.
Anyway, I levelled to 90 as guardian for speed. I want to play balance + resto in endgame.
However, my balance DPS is absolutely attrocious. I'm ilvl 203, and hitting around 10-15k dps.
Is this correct, or just awful?
That's just not very specific info
I am probably doing something drastically wrong, but I think I have my rotation down?...
could be all of the above lol
that seems insanely awful why is it even optional? lol
what situation would u run that
wack
Tbh best advice for that rn is acquire basic gear first and then hit some dungeons and try reading up on the guide
If you still feel you do poorly you will have to log a run so ppl can take a look at what you might be doing wrong
Noone can give you real advice based on the dmg number of your dmg meter
is details accurate compared to the ingame damage meter atleast or is there issues with it anyone know i like the look of it better
Starfall ticks 8 times
Meteorites hits random target once per tick
It's just a reskin
tick dn

so it's only good on ST cause with additional targets you have no guarantee its hitting a valuable one
gamz but st is like 1/4 of a dungeon
also probably worthless talent on fights with dmg immune entities, like Araz from Manaforge or Mug'Zee from Undermine

what about like the dragons fight in voidspire? youre mostly guaranteed to hit one of them during the fight
seems it might be good there if thats how it works
think there are better talents for that fight
but people are figuring shit out anyway
trhat fight has tons of adds too
ya
for siming in raidbots as balance do we need to change something or jsut imput our string??
also this is Balance Druidโขยฉ, where 80% of the talents are 1% swings and none of them matter
from /simc
fair lol, very balanced
we do too
โข
:trademark:
thanks
:tm:
pad i mean lol
benchโข

same with :copyright:
you mean :c:
TIL
that works too
i think dragons is a very fun fight for boomies

Hi, if I'm using KotG hero talents, what should I do about the owlkin frenzy procs in the single target? 1. Use them with a low priority 2. Use them with a low priority only when moving 3. Never use them?
ok so now this question is asking for a purely speculative and subjective feelycraft opinion. that being said, do you guys think boomy has the potential to be in the meta comp assuming we see no further big changes? (atleast until .5 patch ofc)
what is that supposed to mean
uh
raid or m+?
mplus maybe
sorry m+ i shouldve specified lmao
what do you always tell people to get
Thank you very much!
i think in keys with 4set we will be absolute beasts imo
but time will tell
awesome i guess im maining boomy based on your opinion now since ppal is still mid :D
hahaha\

How much st/aoe % comes from tsets? Do we have Numbers ?
i might be good
but it probably wont be meta
when u have shit like
lock ele uh
dh
im kidding anyways im not gonna choose a main to push title with till .5

ay ive raided hof too as a windwalker aight not just a pure m+er
was a few years ago and ive played off and on since
well wtf are u then that youre on the high horse
also doesnt matter if something is meta if a player is garbage at the spec just saying as a general thing
anything m+ is kinda irrelevant atm, apart from gearing
^
cause the meta will form in a .5 patch
for anything title related
dont tell me ur a filthy casual
technically
im nothing
since i didnt buy xpac
but
i used to be good at the game
like 6 years ago
โ๏ธ

i still like you
well everyones allowed to have opinions, even wrong ones ofc
minigamer 
we take it however we can get it
๐
linking a gromnak clip is crazy
lmfao
it might be crazy
so true
but hes right
i mean yeah but lets be honest that guy probably just didnt wanna raid and used it as an excuse
the more time goes on
who would unironically wanna raid with gromnak
the lss the crazy people seem like crazy people
besides theres no push weeks anymore everyone hated that
haha ya
hell id ragebait him too
its always funny asf until its directed at you xD
its still funny
yeah i would never be able to take gromnak seriously
mostly cause i think he's a joke grifter
nah
words cant hurt me
ive been yelled at by @vale pebble every second raid night
so with convoke the spirits raid build we in KOTG we dont take radiant moonlight anymore??
compedium talent dont take it and in wowhead it takes it
be a gigachad and raid with riggnaros then
can my noob tc make up their minds
Check top logs for stuff like this if you're ever confused
im done raiding
or sim it
thats why gamz jejee ill check logs then :p
you will be back stockholm syndrom
oh shit
nah just bad boomies
๐ฅ ts needs a buff
well buff us then
well yes
you will get buff
after tier is over
and it doesnt matter anymore
as usual
i mean we have the biggest gain on tier out of any dps
same as last 5 raid tiers
so that probably contributes
stonks for us m+ers
^ somewhat ya
- moonkin damage profile is good for the harder bosses this tier
fake and gae
Have I levelled the wrong character to 90? Lol
plus spec is still boring
Did it for Boomy
lol
lb
you can apparently gain catalyst charges from doing content after acquiring 4pc so can just full send 4pc insta
spec is too hard
gm
how is it too hard..
idk bro it is
you've got spenders builders and procs it's tough
go tab starsurges on dragon boss
go back to healing
im seeing some run convoke on that boss wtf
what is dragon boss
are they doing
Alleria normal splits go hard
2 boss fight and lots of small adds
full pad
they have c
c(onvoke the spirits)
c(ancer)
๐
saw Krona play EC on that
keep gaslighting yourself
tried it, was fun
yea
jover
its very jover
all the top specs tier sucks
surely
fighting for ur life
the orbs spawn and I just find a random one and start pressing Starfire
i think
ur just noobert
what is this bro
๐ฅ
the downfall needs to be studied
wtf ur an expert tho
i keep tuning into krona and just seeing guardian gameplay ๐ฅ
no hes a regular
bigwigs btw
oh true
I will green log today
really hard
I mean, people who play on wednesday
50 abilites queued up
when you're on paladin boss and you're just seeing 400 timers for tank busters and raid wide pulsing damage
zommoros arc
ye
top10 most cringe shit
i try to look for some ability
to call
impossible challenge
i cant even look my dots
it was the same in raid testing too ๐ญ ๐ญ
LMAO
AHHAHAHAHA WHAT IS THAT
HAHHAHAH
yea imagine trying to look for
soon we get the liquid hacks dw 
bro max complained in
0.1 about that
think i lost like 2 years life expectancy on my CPU from that
soon
Bigwigs tweeted about it during raid testing that this was an issue as well
i burned out my last cpu running a program from porom
hahaha
Im not surprised!!
And Bigwigs could limit the number of bars shown but can't hide any or determine priority of a bar
hope he at least got a bitcoin from it
no but genuinely
but this is legit so bad
how delusional do you have to be as devs
i need to learn
to do this shit
every timer
like how
its so cringe
why do i need to learn every timer
and hide bigwigs
only way to play now
need to see when aoe swirlies spawn every time surely
top10 cringe
otherwise how u gunna dodge

i stopped looking at timers and just full vibe every fight
this is the meta
im sitting there going from
colored filtered bigwigs
and weakauras
to me telling my tank
yea bro
idk when u need to move out
i cant read bigwigs
just go to and edge and when u see big circle move out
chills bro
I am shocked how people can aim the Dread Breath bad on the dragons btw
listen to the bosses voicelines its the new raidlead 
I thought maybe the mechanic was hard to notice until I got it
bro
bro
that shit gives you a warning like 5-6 seconds before the dragon even turns around and starts casting
i got frontaled across the room 3x by it
It's the same ppl that couldn't read their weakaura text on screen either
Plus tts
I had time to waddle my dumb moonkin ass from the middle of platform to the edge before it went off without losing a cast
its crazy
that a company like
designes shit bosses you need weakauras to fight
"weakauras ruin the game"
and then just nuke everything cause ur incompetent
idk how the raid fights are atm
cant wait for fractilus v2 next raid
but i assume they still make dogshit mechanics
not only class devs
What should stats look like??
and get people who actually like their job and want to do something other than make players miserable
aj
make one
for now
least shit
ask ai and make one in 20mins
least shit
like everyone else
no i tried
lock in
i need like the most basic shit
tf is dr
centering, remove the stupid look, desaturate
i didnt remove it
why dont u use it then
cdm centered prolly then
dream burst
i just cba maintaining when blizzard will inevitably break it
dream burst
what are we doing
clearly

thats genuinely stupid
bro i didnt even know what would happen without an icon
im not wasting time now
to split names, get the initials
lock in
i think u should
slacker
maybe
question, is it worth spending time getting my balance druid up to top ilvl
or just scrapping that and going for a diff class?
sure if you wanna play balance druid
pay me
no

Then reroll once meta is figured out in 3 weeks
truthnuke
The best way to get invited to keys is to make some friends. The best way to do good dps is to play the meta spec
I doubt lock will be meta, it'll get tuned in line with other specs eventually and doesn't bring enough utility for 5 man content to get brought with insane damage.
^
wrong
nerf inc for lock def
what would you suggest then? Of course it's personal opinino
we need 2 more takes @tacit quest

lock has a lot of utility in keys now with 2 interupts and aoe curse
Nah 2/3 ain't bad, I'm not gonna hurt my average more
just play mage
one of the specs is bound to be op
mage being bad is against tos
I know but I've found mage so dull over the last few expansions
well too bad
if you find specs dull mby midnight isnt for you
its only gonna get worse
I'm playing balance because my peak class fantasy is herbing fast, not pushing io
Great second monitor content waiting for season to start. And after season starts you can reroll to the established meta
Do you guys recon balance will be good enought to pug high keys?

define what a high key is to you
cause nothing is good for pugging high keys
get friends
19/20
Or is it worth getting an alt that is pure dps like mage or such for keys? I main resto on my druid
lock in resto
good you keep working on this btw
really cool software idea
have you shown it to other class discord APL guys
Also functionally good
I've stopped using raidbots because it lacks too many features
nope, just to the simc guys
hopefully I can finish account creation before end of week and then I can actually let you run sims
I'll take it as a compliment
looks clean af
I mean, I'm all in for this type of shit
I think it's great
if things actually work out in practical use is always part 2
but at least people are trying new stuff
Guys need help ๐
On Elune Chosen at lightblinded when you use wrath? You shouldnt alwats use starfire and starfall?
On raid
you have no idea
we bout to revolutionize the simc ecosystem

first real competitor to raidbots
doesn't it work in tandem..
i thought it was just for TCs mainly for APL testing shii
are u looking to do everything raidbots does and more or
so sick man
it's mainly for TC and APL for now, but I have all the infrastructure to run profilesets and comparisons
Which means that implementing gear compare is trivial
I just didnt get to it because it requires manual work to set up stuff
But you can already have character profiles
And talent loadouts etc
So e.g. I dont have to reimport my char everytime I want to run a quick sim
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/t7NJTvM2V4b8h3nR?fight=12&type=casts&source=26
Krona only uses wrath prepull so if there is a minmax with wrath, you'll be fine without it ๐คทโโ๏ธ
oh wait that's V&E
ignore the cap
Is there any point to craft the staff with hero crests this week?
not with hero no
no
so 259 it is i guess ๐
259 and next week u recraft for mythic after few m+
Yup โค๏ธ
so it seems like we still arent very good
idk i'm blasting
Hey i have a dumb question about Force of Nature,,, if I cast it next to the boss in raid, is that going to actually taunt the boss away lol
no
splendid
We hope
There is a search box on bottom left of your talents
if you look up any talent it gives a magnifying glass over the talents that mention it
oh sick, did not know that
Guys One more question
At keeper after the opener you enter eclipse before incarn or use it separately
separately
does coach whistle proc off damage spells aswell?
is it like the smb trinket where it says helpful spells but also just procs on normal damage spells?
is that the healer trink for aa
yeah
it used to proc of something in our kit
vro
is this other trinket just chopped cheese then
https://www.raidbots.com/simbot/report/rLxP819KoyVQi3jS8i5XVh
when we get a touch of the cosmos proc are we spending that on starfall always?
Agreed. Did normal voidspire last night and was either 1st or 2nd on the meters. Right behind frost mage
Only if you don't have Apex talent procs
normal vaelgors trinket dropped and i missed the roll by 2 
gg
even bribery didnt work the guy equipped instantly
any tips for delve ?? boss as I get hit so hard
Stop getting hit
We're rolling op trinkets, tragic
It's ok, everyone gonna hate using it anyway
30% uptime on the coach buff

seems to proc off of damage spells, tested on dummy
are u just spamming wrath at enemy?
ye
didnt press convoke or anything to not proc heal spells
only wrath
its just the smb trinket again it seems
wiped 2-3 times at 1 % I sweating while mages are playing on easy mode
tooltip says helpful spells, just procs on damage spells too
no

U can play eeeler and not sweat
healers is easy ?>
where it would proc heals
valeera dps ?
do it as bear
I do not think tank is the way ๐
tank is easy
you only do 2x ironfurs for every tank hit, then can rotate defensives ith them for the enrage
why would anyone hate the trinket ? or are u just trying to be nice
you sure?
yes i did it as tank
oki will give it a go ty so much for the tips
if you really want a free ride do it as resto
If u macro it to incarn u lose damage
Well, don't gain all the damage
25 m fight
still worth using over anythign else tho riight
?
There's damage on eclipse, if u proc mastery stats it doesnt effect your solar bolt.
I mean u just make a new button
And press it prior to ca
not what i asked tho
I will try it on tank
I mean I can't sim how the trinket works cuz it works incorrectly technically on sim
It's probably fine
Is EC really taking rattle over starweaver in M+?
ah so probably not as grief when enemies last longer
idk whether to EC or KotG in general just trying to understand the differences in the trees
sp is just better at everything in raid
I can't wait for boomkin to be good at a council fight ever
for siming for mythic + how do we setup raidbot??
did you use raid talents or delve ?
think i went in with my m0 talents ngl
either MDT sim or 1t5m
Look up Priestism video
Ignore name, he's a bamkin
sorry nocomprendo lol
MDT??
1T5M its 1target 5 minutes?
Iโm assuming someone asked this already. But fire chicken form from amerdrisil we can get that from lfr now?
Soulcatcher's Charm is S tier in icy veins guide, and D tier on wowhead. Any incentive on that ? I don't know what trinket I should hunt
Did you sim all of them ?
what if 2 gospels say different things
haha
That's how wars start
Still even without simming a lot can be learned from understanding why one site does one thing and another does another. I was looking at wowhead with different raid builds yesterday trying to figure out the why.
Wishing it explained more.
