Depends on fight specific stuff and if you're using cooldowns right after etc but generally yeah

#

But you don't want to overcap the Eclipse cd either

pliant quiver
lucid olive
#

Sure yeah

abstract parrot
#

you try to pair eclipse with either trees or FoE right?

pliant quiver
sturdy pumice
#

boomies should have double charge of wild charge cause they have wings

#

just saying

lofty depot
#

u pair trees with eclipse or ca

abstract parrot
pliant quiver
#

I believe FOE is your main CD and you want to make sure you have an incarn or eclipse to send with it right away

lofty depot
#

theres a lot of places where u can hold on these bosses tho

abstract parrot
#

i can never decide if i should hold on the last boss of p1 H crown

#

sometimes the timings workout but i dont notice any consistency

lofty depot
#

like this looks bad in a vacuum

#

but its chimaerus

abstract parrot
#

getting put in the first group VerySadCat

lofty depot
#

being put in first group feels preferred

abstract parrot
#

really? i send cds and it feels like a decent portion of lust + pot gets taken up by swapping

#

but i have nothing confirming that and ive only done heroic

pliant quiver
#

We are holding lust to p3

hey guys, i am pretty new to balance, first season ever maining it and was wondering a few things. in M+ would KOG be better if the group isnt pulling massive, and should i use starfall for 6+ mobs?

fiery kindle

padding with balance so funny

delicate perch

Hey, seeing surge on two targets, for a boss like dragons am I just slamming surges into the one dragon or am I trying to maintain uptime of stellar amp on both dragons? Or whatever the one that increases dot dam on surge targets

#

And would that apply to P2 alleria as well?

This has probably been asked before so I apologies, but is there a way to track this?

lofty depot
#

u cant filter ti tho

#

vital swift

it works fine

lol I like that Garfield

#

I will figure it out surely

jaunty blaze
#

realistically you only need the other forms for 1 or 2 buttons

#

and many abilities automatically shift you into them

obsidian fjord

?

#

disgusting tuning

lofty depot
#

but u can track on boss frame

#

granted u ahve like 6 debbuffs

vital swift

lofty depot
#

theyre like 14 off

#

insane gearing more like

misty gazelle
#

Which stats you guys Go for ? My sim say Go more crit then I go for more crit I do less dmg then hast mastery

lofty depot
#

obsidian fjord
#

400 pulls

#

blizz knows they have heroic week

#

stop disinfo my dood

lofty depot
#

sorry harrison

humble talon
#

im here with a vault question and feel free to yell at me

I have 1. Tier piece (shoulders) 1 catalyst charge and hopefully a second one this weekend... I cleared lfr, normal and heroic (not crown)

Do I try to gaslight my lootmaster for token from crown on sunday so I can get vaelgor's or just get a tier now and be done with it #

lofty depot
#

I assume by token u mean the curios which normally drop of last bosses

humble talon
#

yeah

lofty depot
#

Those drop off of the last boss in March

#

Crown doesn't have curios

humble talon
#

hahah

#

I guess that asnwers it then...

dull dust

isnt that kinda wild

#

everyone basicly will just have tier before thats even out anyway

Guys i have a question, i used to play wow back in the days, i just returend. But somehow my macro to cancel starlord doesn't work anymore. Any tips?

royal zenith

I do think 4pc matters a lot for overall

thick dagger
#

Nahhh now i have to wait till its over to spend astral on right timing..

round field
#

no

royal zenith
#

so you do have to compare the same type of bamkin

carmine acorn
#

I do have 4pc already

round field

eclipse auto cancels starlord

#

u dont have to wait for anything

Ecplise auto? ๐Ÿ˜ฎ

and i can do that overall aswell

round field
#

yes read the talent

royal zenith
#

yeah it's just

#

I dunno, balance druid is pretty shit in m+ imo

round field
#

i think ur just bad

#

imo

royal zenith
#

but you'll have people believe it's good cause they get pi like @round field

#

there you go

#

point proven

round field
#

this u > loser

royal zenith
#

data doesnt lie

#

only people

carmine acorn
#

lol actually im rank 96 on warcraft logs ahah

round field
#

wrong

#

the average balance player is dogshit at the game

#

even the above average ones

royal zenith
#

that's a different discussion

round field
#

nyo

#

spec good

#

players bad

#

therefore spec not bad

royal zenith
#

that's literally not true

#

if the average is bad, the spec is shit

carmine acorn
#

ah this is key level rank ok

round field
#

nope

fathom nebula
#

So i really cant track Solstice (The actual buff and not the passive) cause blizz said nuh

round field
#

if someone can perform well

#

means spec is good

fathom nebula
#

blegh

round field
#

its just being held back by skill issue

round field
royal zenith
#

I dunno in how many forms or ways you want to get told no @fathom nebula

fathom nebula
#

I only got one no and it was from you, and thanks.
I was just complaining now

royal zenith

๐Ÿ‘€

fathom nebula
#

I dont get the eyes, i meant that sincerely, thanks for replying ๐Ÿ˜„

royal zenith
#

nah I mean more like

dull dust
#

thanks deux

royal zenith
#

why does it bother you so much

#

what decision making do you do based off of solstice

dull dust
#

idk what a solstice even is

#

its like a party right

fathom nebula
#

Cause i havent played since Novemeber and i spent the first month of the game making gold and now that ive been thrust into Mythic i dont have the muscle memory for the spec ๐Ÿ˜„
I dont want to overwrite eclipse with CA before Solstice is over, figured its easier if i can just look at a buff for now

stray flare
#

Hey guys, I can't figure out how to do the opener when Nature's Balance is not talented. Do we keep spamming Wrath and delay the first Eclipse until we have enough to use 3xStarsurge or we just send it after 3 Wraths anyways?

royal zenith
royal zenith
#

if it's net-neutral you're overcomplicating your gameplay

#

@dull dust time to get to work!!

#

"During the first 6 sec of every Eclipse, Shooting Stars fall 200% more often."

#

so only overwrite it after 6 seconds!

wise hare
#

poor chancel

fathom nebula
round field
#

you dont play around solstice at all

#

just ignore it

royal zenith
#

but if it's just a habit, like cancelling starlord

#

kinda have to know if it's actually a gain else what's the point

dull dust
royal zenith
#

even a dps loss...

#

you've been gimping yourself hearts... cause of assumptions and habits.....

dull dust
#

tbf its probably just causing timing issues

royal zenith
#

ye

#

also I didn't expect you to actually do it chancel LMAO

#

but very based

dull dust
#

it was like

Still, thanks ๐Ÿ˜„
I wouldnt have done it, been too long since i played with the sims

fathom nebula
royal zenith

it's good for discussion anyway

who knows

guys if I go into eclipse after pressing elune, does elune still get the 15% arcane buff from eclipse?

midnight bough
#

does nightmare prey itself give heroic gear or does it give the item that lets you get a map in delve that is heroic itself

ruby badger
#

Second one I believe

#

The nightmare prey chest is champ afaik

vital swift
#

you meant fury of elune?

#

it doesnt snapshot i think

tawny linden
#

I think what he means is "does Elune still take 15% buff if casted before eclipse? Elune > eclipse"

livid jay

Are we making a boomie out of chancel?

And reduced cost on first spender

lucid olive
#

I guess taking that as rude is a self report..

jolly delta
#

No wait you were right

#

The short answer: it synergizes extremely well with the new Eclipse rework and Ascendant Eclipses apex talents.
In Midnight, Astral Communion was redesigned โ€” it now increases your maximum Astral Power by 20, and entering an Eclipse causes your next Starsurge or Starfall to cost 15 less Astral Power.
This matters because of two things stacking together:
Eclipse is now an active button โ€” it changed from a passive buff triggered by your last 2 builders to a button you press, based on your previously cast builder. You're entering Eclipse deliberately and frequently.
Ascendant Eclipses rewards immediate spending โ€” activating an Eclipse makes your next Wrath or Starfire instant, and the first three spenders you cast during each Eclipse deal 20% increased damage. So you want to fire off spenders ASAP after entering Eclipse.
Astral Communion greases that wheel: the 15 AP discount on your first spender means you can get to your buffed Starsurge/Starfall sooner after entering Eclipse, and the +20 max AP ceiling helps you pool more aggressively before pressing Eclipse so you can dump multiple buffed spenders in sequence.

lucid olive
#

Yeah see

#

Just have the robot make some shit up

#

It's just as accurate or wrong as someone else would make up

#

When the answer is that players just play whatever talents they vibe with

#

Specifically the last like 3-4 points spent are on talents that equate to around 1% and your choice is just which dogshit to step in

#

UE, Goldrinn, FoE, Meteorites, Communion.. all the same

austere lichen
#

i like goldrinn

#

it's my dog

really? how much dps does 75 mastery net you?

vital swift

idk

royal zenith
#

anyway, damage number in log/details doesn't tell the whole story for an item

vital swift
#

but does it tell for a twilight barrage proc

lucid olive
#

Good ring combo

#

But depends on your other stats whether it's better than other stuff

#

when crafting staff, should I be using crit/mastery missive?

lucid olive

Sure

why not haste/mastery

honest musk
#

0 tiers, also champion weapon, but I could have done better I think

jaunty blaze
#

either im blind or the first time you ever use eclipse is over 2 minutes into the key

spice roost
#

this is a read guide angle

gentle scroll
lucid olive
#

you can make up the difference with different gems or enchants

#

crit and haste are also about equal value

honest musk
#

how much dps gain 4 set is?

#

also my trinkets poo i guess

gentle scroll
#

It's a good %. But still, it means you're almost definitely spending outside incarn or eclipse which is gonna hurt more overall

spice roost
#

follow guides

honest musk
#

do i wanna pool before popping eclipse and spend inside eclipse?

spice roost
#

yes

devout agate
void jacinth
#

posture

gentle scroll
#

That's all free damage being left on the table

lucid olive
#

you can 95 parse heroic without consumables idk how thats relevant

gentle scroll
#

Is he doing that?

lucid olive
#

You can technically skip the Moonfire in opener now since it's not part of Mastery anymore, but it doesn't matter much. Your opener is also kinda slow.

#

Your active time and cancelled casts are really bad

#

Almost 20% of the casts you start are cancelled

lucid olive
# gentle scroll Is he doing that?

No, but blanket telling someone to use consumables when they ask how they can improve on the spec is like telling a student driver to use the steering wheel

lucid olive
#

Your Eclipse uptime could be better (could be around 75% probably) and you let your Sunfire fall off the boss

pallid bay
lucid olive
#

he saw him not using potion and then assumed

royal zenith
#

what if the car never had a steering wheel

#

dum dum dummm

pallid bay
#

then its not a car..

royal zenith
#

unless..

pallid bay
lone turret
#

if we get the 4piece tier ist a 11% damage gain?

cold gyro
#

Not sure how to phrase this but, is it **really **worth to go thru all this, instead of 2-3x wrath, dots and then treants/foe/incarn on pull ? or we're talking about a minor dps increase ?

lucid olive
#

i been meaning to change it

cold gyro
#

I don't see many people doing this first part ever (at least in hc)

lucid olive
#

its better with Incarn to enter Eclipse first

#

but you could just go Eclipse -> Treants -> Incarn without the spending in between

#

it all just depends on fight timer

royal zenith
#

what's the dps increase anyway if you do that gamz

cold gyro
#

edit : let me check some stuff before i say random shit

royal zenith
#

spreading misinformation??

#

wtf ....

cold gyro
#

on internet, of all places !

cold gyro
lucid olive
#

to get the ability on cooldown

#

any time spent with Eclipse at 2 charges is essentially wasting uptime

cold gyro
#

alright, I'll try and see if it changes somethign ๐Ÿ˜‰

royal zenith
#

I will only do it if it's at least 3% dps increase

livid jay
#

I feel like on fights with AOE it's worth to be in eclipse first, get some Starfalls falling and then carry them over into the incarn

lucid olive
#

but are you entering incarn with like 0 AP then or

royal zenith
#

would also only make sense if shit snapshots

#

the logic, that is

devout agate
livid jay
#

Nah it's a gamble if u get weaver procs otherwise your hard casting 2-3 times before incarn and the benefit is gone

livid jay
lucid olive
#

I think with Incarn and without Natures Balance you probably go Eclipse -> Wrath x3 -> Treants -> Incarn

royal zenith
royal zenith
sonic surge
#

do u guys find that ur sometimes just hard casting starfire in keys with no eclipse or incarn available? am i doing something wrong?

royal zenith
#

it's a slow cast, that's correct

devout agate
#

Not treants with eclipse

sonic surge
#

if i build AP first the packs are 50% hp and my eclipse is wasted

livid jay
sonic surge
#

if i dont do it i run out of eclipse/incarn sometimes

#

so not sure what is the right move

livid jay
royal zenith
#

what's the difference for you

#

if damage is dynamic

sonic surge
#

i really fucking hate the new eclipse tbh like i see 0 positive sides to it

cold gyro
#

I don't think it's possible to have 100% eclipse uptime on the whole key, and it's better to be casting starfire (or dots) outside of eclipse than any spender

sonic surge
#

for some keys

#

not all

royal zenith
#

that's the benefit I guess

#

gameplay wise it's pretty shit ye

livid jay
# royal zenith what's the difference for you

In once case u go into incarn with full AP and no Starfalls falling, in the other case u got Starfalls up and go into incarn with full AP as well and eclipse on CD and that Starfall is buffed from the eclipses first 3 spenders big effect aswell

sonic surge
royal zenith
#

or just

#

get rid of eclipse

cold gyro
sonic surge
cold gyro
#

feels like the worst button to press in the whole kit

royal zenith
#

anyway, can just sim it

#

and you'll know

#

feel like people are grasping for some sort of minmax for whatever reason

#

but it doesn't really impact anything?

livid jay
royal zenith
#

gamba :S

livid jay
#

and yea it doesnt rteally impact anything

#

its just feelycraft

pallid bay
royal zenith
#

real

pallid bay
#

wrath dots eclipse wrath a little

#

cooldowns

royal zenith
#

it's useful on crown though

livid jay
#

like i just watched a vod of mine and i did something different aswell there ๐Ÿ˜„

royal zenith
#

gives you time to wait for adds to get debuff from droplets

pallid bay
#

sotf is in such a unfortunate spot i feel like

#

and it dosnt give you AP outside of eclipse

livid jay
craggy sonnet
royal zenith
#

I don't think 1 starfall does a whole lot of damage

livid jay
#

yea but 40% chance it gives u another surge for free ๐Ÿ˜„

royal zenith
#

pretty sure you need like 5/6 starfalls to even get the same value as 1 starfall back in the Stellar Drift times

#

yeah but same goes for starsurge

livid jay
#

ya

royal zenith
#

the value/worth of dps per gcd kinda matters

livid jay
#

idk it feels like the opener isnt that set in stone

#

too much random shit

royal zenith
#

especially if you need 8 gcd's before you pop actual cd's

#

but eh, like oi said

#

just vibe

#

very situational anyway

livid jay
#

its funny to me that almost all top logs on dragons choose to manually redot all the time for more pad on the adds xD

royal zenith
#

unless it's an actual dps increase hmm

#

man my friday is slow

#

Im avoiding work

livid jay
#

can it be? starfall ticking faster doesnt change how much damage it does right

exotic perch
#

No but you get the dmg in faster which matter if the mob lives 5 secs

livid jay
#

yea exactly so its just for pad

exotic perch
#

"Pad" but ye if thats the only way to get dmg on them that is what you do

livid jay
#

it definitely makes us pump on that fight

royal zenith
#

I honestly just don't think balance is good for anything else atm

#

so just press starfall

livid jay
#

ofc yasa has full hero bis trinkets

royal zenith
#

livid jay
#

one of the big bois

royal zenith

(was not a real question)

livid jay
#

did clecia cook a custom apl again

jaunty blaze
#

church of clecia is back??

lucid olive
#

Does piss dmg and only consumed in Eclipse

#

SOTF could be made better by removing the Eclipse part as well for sure

#

Especially with Starweaver you don't really cast many fillers in Eclipse

pallid bay
livid jay
#

it really doesnt matter what u do in the opener huh

pallid bay
#

well as long as you cast

#

thats for sure a mistake and a dps loss

these bosses are pad fiesta

watching streamers contemplate if they can pad on these mobs with their shrooms without griefing the raid is peak

Anyone a boomy log master down to help a new boomy

reef ocean
#

"boomy" and "thinking" have never been used in the same sentence before

#

Both are easy

livid jay

probably not a master tho

reef ocean

Most fights you just rip double CA early and then sync with convoke after

livid jay
#

double ca?

#

thats fucking cursed

#

u ca'ing without trees or

reef ocean
#

Not back to back, but 2 before 2nd convoke

livid jay

ye

#

ok

#

but u also need to line shit up with mechanics

#

add spawns

#

etc

reef ocean
#

Only one you need to prep for is dragons adds

#

Frost might be easier, but both are relatively piss easy

pallid bay
livid jay
#

but yea

#

it aint that hard

#

but i dont know any hard specs tbh

reef ocean

I mean all classes, including frost, needs to be conscientious about add spawns

Not just limited to boomy

How big of a deal is 4 piece this season? I have yet to see a tier piece through LFR, normal and heroic both weeks..... I feel like when I compare other ilvls I'm underperforming.

4 set is imperative

#

Especially for boomy

livid jay

yea 4 piece is pretty massive

reef ocean

I think they have one of the biggest 0 to 4 set gains

have u played other specs?

I have never played Druid before

well surely u have a preference for like your big spenders, your filler, your cooldowns etc

reef iron
#

Yeah

livid jay

i just have the forms on f1 to f5 but thats not that optimal i guess

reef iron
#

I may be overthinking it

Tbh

remember that your shapeshifting changes your bar aswell

so its actually not that deep

just put moonkin form on the same keybind in every off-spec-form

fresh new boomkin here , do we ever press wrath in our mplus build ? dont see it mentioned in the guides

royal zenith

(don't think he's playing kotg)

livid jay
#

well

#

still xD

#

thats crazy actually

#

if i griefed and have no eclipse for 15 seconds but theres 10 mobs surely i starfire

topaz quest
#

Maybe I made it up, but on pull are you meant to enter a solar eclipse -> spend your instant wrath/starfire + ascendant skies procs, then pop cds (trees/foe/incarn etc)?

The compendium has a note that you use trees if "incarn is available, and you do not have an active solar eclipse"

this is for just standard ST

#

i thought i saw somewhere you wanna enter solar eclipse first on pulls, spend the buffs and stuff, then enter incarn (to get solar eclipse cd rolling since sitting on 2 charges is not good)

livid jay
#

theres an opener section on dreamgrove

topaz quest
#

ah okay so i did not make it up

am i just reading the prio wrong

#

or doesn't apply for opener specific scenario

livid jay
#

nono, priolist is for mid rotation, the opener is special on top so to say

topaz quest
#

okay

#

ty

livid jay
#

but theres some discussions on whether u actually have to do the eclipse before incarn stuff in your opener

#

so just do whatever feels better i guess

topaz quest
#

atm im doing it boss per boss basis (if i need the extra timing) but yeh okay sounds good

#

like fallen king mythic i think it's better to incarn asap personally...

livid jay
#

yea thats what u should do, it really depends on the situation

/use 14

Thanks!

lucid olive
#

swap use 13 or use 14 depending on what slot your trinket is in

#

and if you equip all your on-use trinkets in the same slot in the future you will never have to swap out the macro ๐Ÿ™‚

tough olive
#

yeah I would have written out the entire incarn ability when making it

#

how come it works with CA ?

lucid olive
#

they are the same spell

tough olive
#

i knew that...

#

(im new to boomie pls dont laugh at me)

lucid olive
#

and you add the [@cursor] in case you ever talent into Orbital Strike

#

since that has a targeting reticle that is very annoying

fossil hemlock
#

One day they will make it useful and rename it Syzygy again

lucid olive
#

but you also need to remember to actually aim Orbital Strike if you ever talent it...

#

do you not remember when they decoupled orbital from CA in amirdrassil

#

and then reverted the change a week after cause PvPers complained

fossil hemlock
#

Yeah, i 'member

tough olive
#

Thanks so much @lucid olive ๐Ÿ˜„ works great

fossil hemlock
#

Can't believe the 3 players total got it reverted

lucid olive
#

yeah crazy

#

if orbital strike was in choice node with mushrooms we would never have gotten sunseeker...

#

and maybe the Undermine jackpot tier set would launch an Orbital Strike when you use CA and make spenders do more dam to Stellar Flare targets...

#

what couldve been sadCat

fossil hemlock
#

What if they just added a small selection of special talents you could grab specifically for pvp?

#

That would be neat

lucid olive
#

no no

#

thats crazy

I have 2 set and 2 charges currently
I am struggling to decide if I send these 2 charges on champ track items(i have had zero luck getting any loot from M+/raid)
I know you get the unbound thing after getting 4-set, but is there also a season maximum of charges that would make not upgrading Champ track pieces a bad idea?

lucid olive
#

Unsure if there's a max cap

drifting nova
lucid olive
#

you should send for 4set instantly tho

drifting nova
#

knew there was something wrong when I was getting pi every time

what am I gonna do with it? regrowth faster?

cast starfire

so its definitely worth to send it asap

Im strugling with overall dmg on 10s with 4pc and want to find what Im doing wrong VerySadCat

exotic perch

Fury is before you hit cds

#

moonfire mobs when they are getting grouped

#

sunfire them grouped

#

fury then hit ca/eclipse and spam starfall/starfire

#

you press fury on CD too

tardy mason
#

Hi Guys - would like some guidance on a 'cookie cutter' build for EC in M+. Each build I've read up on within the compendium, wowhead and icy veins is different. Noticed some builds are taking shrooms some aren't. What y'all running with?

lucid olive
#

If you want cookie cutter then grab any EC build

#

The deviations in the build between guides are not that relevant

#

They all take the core talents to make the build work

#

The other stuff are just 1% swings back and forth and don't really matter

tardy mason
#

Alrighty, thanks for the info - not been playing much since expac launch so didn't know how much of a difference shrooms would be making across M+

lucid olive
#

Core talents for EC in m+ is Aetherial Kindling, Fury of Elune, Radiant Moonlight, Sundered Firmament/Orbit Breaker and Incarn

lofty depot
lucid olive
#

the rest are kinda whatever

lucid olive
#

You have a handful of "build defining talents" that matter

#

and then the rest are low value swings either direction and don't matter that much

tardy mason
#

I didn't play much in DF so was just looking for some info and you guys have provided that, thanks. I appreciate it

lucid olive
#

Build defining talents are like Whirling Stars/Orbital Strike, Rattle/Starweaver, Convoke/Incarn, FoE/Full Moon

tiny nimbus
lucid olive
#

Just FoE off cd

#

soon as its up you press button

#

in a key like Algethar maybe you want to use it before spreading dots as well

#

depends how efficient you are at dotting though

exotic perch
#

yeah and the fury before was really just a thing of like first pull maybe or if you are going into a boss fight

lucid olive
#

value of dots on big AoE packs is less than previous 2 expansions and casting Moonfire while FoE is available loses Lunation value

exotic perch
#

in packs that keep going you dont care when just keep it on cd

lucid olive
#

I have just been letting the vibe decide when I stop dotting

#

and the vibe usually decides it when the mobs are stacked

exotic perch
#

foe isnt for the damage its for the astral power gen and the dmg amp it gives your other spells

#

hence use it on cd

lucid olive
#

+1

#

dmg activator ahh talent

exotic perch
#

god i remember that one beta cycle when it was like old breath on sindy

#

big laser beam gameplay

tiny nimbus
#

aye it depends on the tank tho from pov, how much they chain pulling
