is there a cap on catalyst catchup

#

for alts

bleak kiln
#

And is it just me or is our ST better than aoe? I'm constantly behind on aoe but not on ST

#

In m+

drifting nova
#

yes

#

sort of

bleak kiln
#

Maybe shit dies too quick on a 10 idk

drifting nova
#

st is surpisingly not bad

#

but aoe compared to other classes seems bad

#

and/or too much ramp

#

hunters and mages will drop 200k in half a second

#

having to rely on starfall and not starfire

bleak kiln
#

Elune's guidance being removed kinda ass lol

spice roost
#

once u get 4set aoe blasts

#

dont judge until that

bleak kiln
# lofty depot ?

The button with a 45 sec cd that makes next 3 starfires insta cast

lofty depot
#

thats not elunes guidance

#

thats warrior of elune

#

elunes guidance is still a thing

bleak kiln
#

Oh warrior of elune

#

Something with elune lol

lofty depot
#

dont appropriate my talents

drifting nova
#

apex talents consumed elunes chosen

#

just yoinked it

lucid olive
#

nvm i thought you meant a bug in the game

#

disregard

drifting nova
#

cannibalised to feed the apex talent

#

couldnt take trees from kotg

stark meteor
#

any advice? this was a +8 🥲

#

my mastery is super low rn

tribal wedge
#

would need to actually see the key played

stark meteor
#

+8 magisters terrace, died once

#

is there a way to get a replay of the key or do i just have to actually record that lmao

tribal wedge
#

uhhh you can log keys

stark meteor
#

wait you can??

tribal wedge
#

basic idea is make sure you're not wasting globals, make sure you're not using starsurge or something in more than 2 targets, try to always have either an eclipse or incarn stack

drifting nova
#

similar overall in an algathar but we were dropping like flies

#

tanks over pulling

#

smh

tribal wedge
#

this is only a +2 MT but this is my breakdown doing about 90k overall

#

I played pretty bad in this key as well

stark meteor
#

i see now

dull dust
#

how are u doing 90k in a 2

tribal wedge
#

oh yea, since ur running orbit breaker always have all dots up on most pulls

dull dust
#

are the other dps afk

tribal wedge
#

lol basically

dull dust
stark meteor
#

im on my phone now

#

worth saying I swapped over from survival hunter to balance druid this expansion so im used to pressing 4 buttons

#

feel like it's definitely a me problem

tribal wedge
#

I had to get used to starweaver build, I was getting baited by free starsurge procs in AoE, kills damage, just use the global on another starfall

#

I only ever starsurge if I am somehow out of AP

#

but with this build we are running on EC u are basically perma capped

stark meteor
#

i dont wanna talk about my raid parses

kindred token
#

@lucid olive Is there some kind of kind of macro to use with trinket with other abilities?

tribal wedge
#

lol I've only done lfr since I'm not in guild

drifting nova
tribal wedge
#

raid parses also are really dependent on your group, if the group kills fast and you get PI or something, that will boost ur parse a bunch

drifting nova
stark meteor
#

is there any good way to apply moonfire in those giant pulls aside from moonfire as everything is pulled

dull dust
#

pi is for losers

tribal wedge
#

flamed for running orbit breaker? XD?

dull dust
#

if u get pi u should get ur v card reinstalled

drifting nova
#

no for saying a well organised group that kills a boss in X- mins

tribal wedge
drifting nova
#

will parse better than X time for another group

stark meteor
#

only worth reapplying to big adds?

tribal wedge
dull dust
#

u will parse better if ur team doesnt hard nuke adds instantly too

#

who would've thunk

stark meteor
#

that's also the issue im having

drifting nova
kindred token
#

What do you guys use for macro with trinket?

drifting nova
stark meteor
#

once everything is pulled it's already 1/4 dead lol

dull dust
#

the problem is people usually arnt playing well enough that that would be the differnce

tribal wedge
#

#showtooltip Incarnation: Chosen of Elune

#

which is why we log review

#

tribal wedge
drifting nova
#

paladin in my guild always padmaxes, only way he gets 90s (probably idk)

#

I'm onto him

kindred token
stark meteor
#

is boomie damage taking time to ramp up real or a meme VerySadCat

drifting nova
#

real

tribal wedge
#

not as bad anymore, but we do still have a bit of setup

#

mainly the dots

drifting nova
#

its worse now

tribal wedge
#

nahhh

drifting nova
#

atleast before I had warrior of elune

tribal wedge
#

it was way worse previous xpacs since we literally had to dot everything because of how mastery worked

#

if u didnt u were out on like 15% dmg

#

esp if u ran waning twilight

stark meteor
#

statwise should i focus mastery, haste, then crit and versatility?

tribal wedge
#

have to sim

#

most of the time haste mastery best, but some people crit stack as well

stark meteor
#

i don't know how to read that or use the result honestly

#

ive done it and didn't really get what i was looking at

#

also a me issue

tribal wedge
#

yea, I mean if you are free sometime, I could hop in a call with u and show uhow to sim

#

its super easy

stark meteor
#

do you sub out pieces of gear for other pieces/stat lineups?

tribal wedge
#

like are you asking if I have multiple sets for certain dungeons or something?

#

or are you asking about simming and swapping out the pieces?

#

@stark meteor I have to get off for now, but I will be on in about 2 hours, if you're on and want some tips on gameplay / simming and stuff lmk and I can show u real quick

stark meteor
#

i should be!

#

Hey, noobie question, What my ST rotation should looks like on M+? (on bosses)
Should i use Wrath or starfire as mine generator? (Cause there is only lunar Eclipse and Hero talents boost Arcane dmg)
Should i use mine procs of Touch of cosmos for Starsurge or Starfall?
(As i said, completly noobie question, i picked up Bala in this season)

lucid olive
#

Press Wrath on ST if you're outside of Eclipse

#

with the Ability_Druid_CresentBurn Lunar Calling talent from Elune's Chosen hero tree

#

spend Cosmos procs on Starsurge

#

alternatively can read any of the guides linked in the pinned message

fair halo
#

okay, thanks <3

lucid olive
feral pine
#

whole key sry

#

didnt realize i had marked a window at all

lucid olive
#

theres just massive gaps in your casts

#

idk if you die or you panic or what

#

like here i assume you approach a pack since theres a big wait before a Moonfire cast

#

and you spend 10 seconds pressing 4 Moonfires and 1 Sunfire

#

You should also press Fury of Elune either off cooldown or on the global before Incarn

#

So if youre approaching a pack with both abilities up you spread Moonfire -> Sunfire when stacked -> FoE -> Incarn at the end of the GCD -> Starfall

#

you cut your Eclipse short here for no real reason

#

also taking a long time to spread dots, same issue as above

feral pine
#

you cut your Eclipse short here for no real reason
wdym?

lucid olive
#

Starsurge on the Krick & Ick 2 target boss unless the totem adds are up

lucid olive
#

you pressed Incarn after 6 ish

feral pine
#

Ah i should have waited for eclipse to end beofre incarn

lucid olive
#

CA/Incarn cancels your current Eclipse and gives you a new one

#

yeah you generally don't want to CA/Incarn when already in Eclipse

#

unless your Eclipse CD is sitting on 2 charges for a long time

feral pine
#

Makes sense, thanks

obsidian fox
#

Anywhere I can check for best talent depending on the raid boss in Midnight?

lucid olive
#

warcraftlogs

lucid olive
#

In general I think you got the basics down, just need to maybe gain some confidence and build up muscle memory

#

Maybe go into like a follower dungeon or some AoE target dummies and just practice efficiently dotting

#

The first 5-8 seconds of a pull on Moonkin is essentially playing nameplate whack-a-mole with Moonfire

#

and the reason I say you got the basics down is because you're actually using utility stuff

#

The rest will just come naturally as you build up muscle memory with rotation

digital berry
#

do yall know if theres a way in talent loadout ex to make each talent page also save action bars?

lucid olive
#

no

#

also can't default blizzard do that

digital berry
#

yeah but default blizzard has a limited amount of pages and the cap is shared amont specs

#

nice epic embed fail

lucid olive
#

balance is fine

#

dont think it needs either buffs or nerfs

#

if you think you need buffs maybe consider its a skill issue

heavy iris
#

it's definitely on the lower end of m+ in comparison to other classes

craggy sonnet
#

they dont care about m+ yet

lucid olive

thats made up

What you think from balance in m+ ?

even if that would be the case

i was just hoping for some changes to phase out having to use FOE on kotg

i really do not like that

lucid olive

your class is sick

dull dust
#

true

lucid olive
#

you dont have to

dull dust

lucid olive
#

FoE sims close to bunch of passive talents

dull dust

therefore best

lucid olive

its just another low value talent you take cause its less bad than the other low value talent

Hey everyone, i'm trying to figure out a macro to cast eclipse then turning into solar back to wrath but i'm having a hard time, do any of you have it? It would be like a single button eclipse into wrath pretty much

lucid olive
#

what do you mean "cast eclipse then turning into solar"

#

also you can't macro two spells together when they are both on the GCD

half stump
#

all i want is a single button solar eclipse into wrath sort of thing

#

like a cast sequence

lofty depot
#

thats not a thing

lucid olive
#

just have one button for eclipse and another for wrath or

pseudo merlin
#

man

lucid olive
#

what you want doesnt really save you a button either since you would want the same thing for Lunar and Starfire

pseudo merlin
#

my spec just cant keep winning

craggy sonnet
half stump
#

i cooked this but its a bit inconsistent: /castsequence reset=15 Lunar Eclipse, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath, Wrath

lucid olive
#

wtf is that

#

why does it say lunar

lofty depot
#

i think this is worse than the guy from yesterday

lucid olive
#

i have a feeling you have misunderstood what the Eclipse spell does

#

but I'll give you the benefit of the doubt

craggy sonnet
#

i thought you cant even macro "lunar eclipse"

half stump
#

it just come to my attention that its a button now after playing since day 1 of expantion 😭

delicate perch
half stump
#

i'm tryin to put it into my wrath and starfire macro somehow

lofty depot
#

id suggest u know... finding a bind and pressing it instead of doing some imalgamation of "a cook"

misty forge
#

But but why?

royal zenith
#

midnight is producing some interesting stuff

lucid olive
#

if your last filler cast was Wrath

#

you can not enter Lunar

craggy sonnet
#

ec gaming

lucid olive
#

so spamming this button will either stop or keep casting Wrath after the reset?

Plater still exists, the Jundies profile is pretty good

Weakauras is gone

and the alternative is a plethora of random addons that all do more or less the same things in regards to the Blizzard default cooldown manager

there are so many choices there it would be disingenous to recommend one over another

Hi Guys, Noob Balance Druid here LF some guidance 🤣. LF a good build and a good rotation . I think i have it but My dps always start really good and by the end of the dungeon I always end low . LF tips and Advice plz really humble petition No hate plz

lofty depot
#

have u read the guide

fresh grotto
#

First time in this server sorry what guide?

lofty depot
#

read any/all of them

fresh grotto
#

Ohh yes yes. Wowhead guide.

#

Do we want to use Dungeon slice if we are interested in possibly simming for m+ ?

lean bone
#

I have read through the guides, but I am confused on one thing. Specifically in mythic keys. Is star surge our button we press even on single target boss?

#

No wraths? Except say during opener to quickly build astral

#

I kind of hate using vessel trinket

tough olive
#

No wraths

there's no way to sim for m+ atm. maybe later in the tier

lean bone
#

Wow dream Grove just helped me out so much

#

So a little confusion though, if I cast eclipse, and then celestial, is that bad? Because we don't want to sit on CA being off cd

#

I'm just confused if they rewrite each other

dull dust
craggy sonnet
lean bone
#

And is this okay to do in the opener to get CA on cool down??

craggy sonnet
#

generally you dont want to waste uptime of any ecl source (eclipse,ca,incarn) .. exception can be if you are already sitting on max charges of incarn

delicate perch
craggy sonnet
#

and if you want to do that long opener with incarn, then you come out of incarn with your ecl charge basically replenished anyways

dull dust
craggy sonnet
#

though if you dont want to bother, you can also straight up pool for the big burst and rip the incarn and ignore eclipse sitting at max

259 boomkin no tier yet ( terrible luck. not for lack of trying)
my Single target DPS is not half bad at a 259 i lvl. im doing pretty ok and im top 5 on most heroic fights. the problem is MYTHIC PLUS..... I switch over to my M+ spec and my DPS is DISMALL. almost every DPS can whoop my butt. I use methods talents and wowhead and ic ant figure its out. its so frustrating.

#

Is there any reason to delay an eclipse/CA to not waste a Starlord proc, or should I be trying to maintain 100% eclipse uptime?

lucid olive
#

You can't maintain 100% eclipse uptime

#

You want to build AP and resource between every time you use Eclipse or CA unless either of them is currently sitting at 2 charges

#

On pull it's a little different where one of them will be held for a bit since both are on 2 charges

Apologies if it's a dumb question but I'm pretty new to raiding and boomkin in general

Hey guys, returning player. For proffesions (playing pve) if i want to craft a high level staff when i get full level, do i need to be be inscription to be able to craft it, or can someone else craft it for me? Aln'hara Cane

Oh alright, nice. So what proffesions would you recomend to have or is nice to have? If idont have to think about crafting gear

i guess i could just make them cast ddurring downtime or something

I just read wowhead guide and the compendium for boomy AOE Elune's Chosen rotation and im left wondering??? Are we legit never casting wrath on bosses during keys? we are casting starfire on single target fights as astral power generator ?

Hey yall.. question? With the new rotation how are you building astral power when you start at 0. Let's say you are at the beginning of seat and they are grabbing the big pull. How do you get astral up so you can eclipse and push the 3 star falls for Ascendance and starlord?

# lofty depot bear form

are there certain cooldowns or things that are usuable in bear from or do you swap to bear just to get the tankiness and use thrash/mangle for dmg?

red nymph
wild dune
#

do not tell kekkers

dull dust
drifting lagoon
#

as a new player to druid overall i know there are some instances where you can swap to a different form just for one button or movement mechanics, but i wasnt sure if you're swapping forms for prolonged periods of time as well with certain specs

normal pilot
#

nah form shifting isn't really a core mechanic

#

it's more of a nuisance

#

it just makes the gameplay worse cuz you have to press 2 keys

wild dune
#

bring back prepull rake

#

REAL SKILL EXPRESSION

dull dust
#

prepull 5 regrowths

wild dune
dull dust
#

@lofty depot

#

god has left

wild dune
#

hahahahhahaha

drifting lagoon
#

cause if i'm doing solo content in balance and i dont instantly melt the target or if i am fighting a rare and my prey target shows up i die pretty quickly

#

if barkskin isnt enough and i cant create distance with wild charge

#

so in those instances, swapping to bear and just chilling there and basically playing guardian druid till they die?

normal pilot
#

or better yet just play guardian from the start

red nymph
# dull dust

ill happily take a .8% damage cut to not play the most unsufferable druid build to ever exist

#

lowkey 1m convoke is a vibe for kotg

#

id play that

#

for sure

drifting lagoon
#

i have been playing guardian spec pretty much the whole xpac right now but im too new to the game to trust myself tanking in end game content so wanted to learn balance

#

so i should probably just try to learn balance in random heroics i guess?

normal pilot
#

no don't worry tanking is easy, esp low level dungeons

#

just rush into it

#

if you fail that's fine learn something and get right into the next dungeon

drifting lagoon
#

im completely blind to all the dungeons, so wanted to at least get some experience in them with a lower responsibility job like ranged dps

normal pilot
#

nah low dungeons you can just press W and walk thru it

#

you're overestimating the responsibility for starting dungeons

wild dune
#

Lower keys even highlight mobs for you to pull for proper count.

drifting lagoon
#

for now if i want to learn to play balance properly i assume just stick to instanced content?

bleak kiln
#

are y'all saving incarn and treants for add phase on vorasius?

Elunes chosen m+, whats the minimum targets to start starfalling over surge? is it 2/3? Also out of Eclipse do I still starfire ST or wrath?

but these days it's relaitvely simple to add embellishments to top gear and just sim your character

I dont understand why we dont want to cast fury of elune during incarn on single target but for multi you cant to cast it before incarn

stone ledge
#

during on st cause you dont have as many dots running for passive ap generation so you want the full coverage. in aoe you just want to throw starfalls until you are empty at start of eclipse

muted remnant
#

Just to check in: Whenever entering Eclipse (doesn't matter which) first spell should always be Starfire?

dull dust
#

im procccingggggg

#

yo why didnt i do all these free numbers a month ago

#

am i stupid

cursive mirage
#

only starfire to consume your insta-cast if in incarn/lunar

drifting nova
#

and in ec

cursive mirage
#

which would be lunar!

#

😠

drifting nova
#

I DONT WRITE THE RULES

cursive mirage
#

don't make me semantic you into the void

muted remnant
#

Ah alright, but yea, to specify, first spender should always be starfire even on ST

#

Kk thx

drifting nova
muted remnant
#

Should it not be? It reads like that off of the Rotation Opener unless I got that wrong

#

Oh no, not a spender

#

Wrong term

#

Generator :p

drifting nova
#

it's 100% going to get changed

#

the off eclipse is like 0.1%

much easier for your brain to just ignore non eclipse buttons

oh okay

also while ur here

#

is the telluric leyblossom not having int just make it automatically a non starter?

drifting nova
lofty depot
#

no

fair pasture
#

the proc seems rly good was just curious if there was an obvious answer besides sim it

lofty depot
#

i just wouldnt use urn cuz it fears u

fair pasture
#

i figured that but i somehow didnt notice it yet

drifting nova
lofty depot
#

also to be clear starfiring in incarn isnt an increase unless theres multiple mobs

#

both are neutral now so u can press wrath or starfire

fair pasture
#

i was very much under the impression it was also, maybe some kink of the wording

#

as far as when we get instant wrath or starfire off entering eclipse

lofty depot
#

think most of u just cant read

lofty depot
#

the key word being and

fair pasture
#

priority lists are very hard to parse out of the blue

#

especially if you started playing the class for the first time a week ago

lofty depot
#

i mean neither of these lines say eclipse

#

they say ca and incarn

fair pasture
#

i think starfire being like nine years longer cast makes it seem like more damage so when its free it makes you want to

lofty depot
#

well it did more damage per execute and gives more asp

has anything changed about how to get the firey moonkin form since midnight? ive farmed all 3 difficulties every week and havent gotten it yet, not sure how rare it is tho

jaunty blaze
#

can take some tries if youre unlucky

pine briar
#

are we talking like tens or thousands of tries? havent really been able to find solid drop rate info

jaunty blaze
#

like single digit usually

#

only thing to speed it up would be to farm it on several druids if you have some

drifting nova
#

I got it like 2nd

pine briar
#

gotcha, just wanted to make sure there isnt some like alternate quest line or something that I wasnt aware of to get it

#

just bad luck i guess, ill keep trying

#

is it a separate drop chance for each difficulty or should i just be doing mythic?

jaunty blaze
#

could be i dont really know

drifting nova
#

yes

lucid olive
#

If I recall correct

pine briar
#

oh shit ok

#

I assume mythic has a higher drop chance then if thats the case

lucid olive
#

No don't think so

#

It doesn't take a lot of tries usually, but you're limited to 1 try a week so it takes a bit anyway

#

In like 4 weeks time you'll be able to do Amirdrassil LFR at least

pine briar
#

ok good to know, thanks!

Can you solo Mythic Amirdrasil by now? Or is that something where you still need a few people

ive been able to solo everything except Fyrakk, ive seen a video of a hunter solo him but it was because some talent was broken

In Elune's Choosen - AoE build's rotation, should I cast Wrath on all target counts when outside of Eclipse? (with Fury of Elune and Touch of the Cosmos talented and rest of it untalented)

probably something like up to 4-5+ targets

#

or less since you have lunar calling

hey guys, so i have a question about starweaver in m+ and its priorities (pertaining to the mob count and starlord stacks):
if there's a pack of X number of mobs and you have X stacks of starlord, at what mob count is it not worth using starweaver procs to cast starsurge anymore and at what starlord stacks as well? this question might be formulated a bit weirdly, but i'm actually curious about priority casts

lucid olive
#

Probably noticeably less without 4set

frank vine
#

so i almost always use the starsurge proc from starweaver even if there's loads of enemies?

lucid olive
#

Yeah

#

But probably not worth if you're already capped at AP

frank vine
#

that kinda does make sense yes, and im guessing it also doesnt matter what amount of starlord stacks i have?

lucid olive
#

Yeah you don't really make any decisions around Starlord anymore

#

Unless you like majorly fucked your Eclipse and CA cooldowns and end up outside of Eclipse for a long time

#

Starlord, Harmony of the Heavens and Ascendant Stars are basically all the same thing

#

Only need to track one as well

#

All 3 talents fully stack or consume after your first 3 spenders in Eclipse, this is also why you want to pool AP between every time you enter Eclipse (as long as you're not sitting at 2 charges for no reason)

frank vine
#

right, I see, thank you

#

and about using wrath outside of eclipse in EC, this applies only if theres 1 target I assume?

lucid olive
#

Yeah

#

It's also not the biggest thing

#

Wrath just generates some more AP and gives more Star Cascade procs and higher chance of starting Eclipse with an Umbral Embrace proc

#

Overall I think those things just gives more value than the extra Starfire dam from Lunar Calling

frank vine
#

got it, thanks boss, one more final short question is what you would consider a "major fuck up" in cooldowns and being outside of eclipse for? 10 seconds without eclipse? 15 seconds?

lucid olive
#

Hard to give like a timer like that, just avoid cutting your Eclipse short by pressing Incarn and you're probably fine

#

15-20 seconds is outrageous tho

#

10-15 seconds you can probably assume you'll have from time to time

#

I think for most raid fights with Incarn the uptime is around 70-75%

#

And then naturally less with CA since it's 5 seconds shorter

frank vine
#

thank you for patience and explanation, appreciate it gamz

Is everyone back on native Wow without uis now ?

I need an update 😄

lucid olive
rain jetty
#

HAvent been playing for 3 years

lucid olive
#

Basically a small checklist of what you want to track and some add-on recommendations for it

rain jetty
#

What about the plater

lucid olive
#

If you want the easiest plug and play experience with a good UI there are several free packs on Wago

rain jetty
#

I remember we had color coded dots

#

Moonfire/Sunfire

#

No longer works for me

#

🙁

lucid olive
#

Can't have that anymore

rain jetty
#

OH COME ONNNNNN

#

WHAT

lucid olive
#

Plater still works tho, Jundies profile is pretty good

#

Having nameplate change color on dots was a crutch anyway

#

Time to grow up

rain jetty
#

It was so good

#

🙁

#

Clean

#

Is Jundies for Boomkies

#

Or all?

lucid olive
#

Works for all, there aren't really class or spec specific nameplate profiles

#

Since nameplates can't track anything on your character

rain jetty
#

Okay what do I download to have

#

Clean nameplates at least

#

That are not stacking over each other

#

etc

#

just plater

#

And Jundies for example import?

lucid olive
#

Plater or Platynator, both are fine

lucid olive
#

Anyway I gotta dip, maybe someone else answers if you have any more questions

#

Or maybe not who knows

rain jetty
#

I mean they still stacking

#

Over each other

maiden pasture
#

i've heard many complaints about jundies nameplates overlapping, seems to be his profile just has issues with that

rain jetty
#

I've fixed it but still

#

Without the color coding

But EC is also just harder to get close to sim DPS cause it fully depends on high uptime

Not cancelling casts

And kotg is usually burstier, which lends itself better to actual fight timings

You can do Eclipse bars with regular CDM

I’m have what is probably a stupid question to most so sorry in advance. With Elaine spec, if I’m in lunar eclipse should I still be pressing starfire as my builder on ONE target? Would I only press wrath on ONE target when I’m NOT in eclipse?

yes

Still can't do what tettles has which is one bar with both eclipses

#

But ended up with one line that shows either 1 bar or 2 bars in same row, occupying always the same width

lucid olive
#

Don't recommend it tho in general, solid add-on but a bit confusing

#

AyijeCDM also uses the default Blizzard bars from the CDM so it's more likely to not break with new API restrictions, think ArcUI uses "press the spell and hard code a bar to show up" method

carmine acorn
#

Ye I'm fine with what I did

#

Kinda don't like also not having star lord in the essential CD bar

#

But I put it somewhere where I think I can eventually get used to it

lucid olive
#

Starlord not very important to track

carmine acorn
#

its true, eventually i might just remove it

#

I also kind of dont need the rebirth there and will put it probably besides the pot

#

another thing is that i think i might remove moonfire and sunfire from essencial cds, i never look at them there

#

either at boss bar or nameplates

lucid olive
#

Why do you have wrath and starfire

#

And Starsurge Starfall

carmine acorn
#

procs

#

they proc there

lucid olive
#

Now those are ones you should remove cause that's piss useless

carmine acorn
#

the free ones

lucid olive
#

Starfall Starsurge I can get but just add the Starweaver procs to the buff bar instead

#

Wrath Starfire there is 0 reason to track procs

carmine acorn
#

I'm not using a buff bar (i mean i am, is the starlord)

#

well, you get the instant cast ones

#

good to know that you can cast while moving

misty glade
#

my droptimizer is suggesting crafting the boots with the embellishment that has you collect an orb for a stat buff - I feel like that's likely simbait?

You know your next filler is instant after entering Eclipse, tracking that is just visual noise
