Perma eclipse just press wrath / sf to change the current eclipse

I died to like 10 in pvp yday, only devourers I've seen

#

none in raid and none in m+

warm atlas
#

focus instead of the resource/spend mechanic of astral power and add full moon back

chilly python
#

Bro the eclipse mechanic has never been good once they should just give up on it

lofty depot
#

What u just said isn't giving up on it

#

Pick a lane

lucid olive
#

just forget that it's called Eclipse

drifting nova
#

I could forget if it WASNT A BUTTON

lucid olive
#

the current gameplay is new to the spec, the name is irrelevant

drifting nova
#

is it new?

chilly python
lucid olive
#

they should have just named it something else

#

people wouldve pogged

drifting nova
#

could call it herosim

lucid olive
#

"wooow eclipse is gone now we have "astral turbodick" spell on a 0.5s gcd"

drifting nova
#

and I'd still hate pressing it

lofty depot
#

Says CD slop man

drifting nova
#

it still does the same as eclipse

#

and went from a passive to a half gcd (bad)

#

it's regressive design

warm atlas
#

yeah, the issue isn't the name lol.. it is the terrible gameplay and ramp

chilly coral
#

When do i use [The Light of Elune] and [Astral Insight] in m+? Seems like ppl are doing different builds. Whats your thoughts?

lofty depot
#

Ramp

#

Is crazy

drifting nova
#

the ONLY salvagable method vibes wise

lucid olive
#

comparing it to any previous version of eclipse is disingenous

drifting nova
#

is if it was off gcd

#

but its not

lucid olive
#

there were bunch of reasons previous eclipse was bad, theres plenty of reasons this one is bad, but those are not related

drifting nova
#

it has a half baked damage seocndary in ascendant eclipses added onto it

lofty depot
#

P sure 1 is ahead in burst

drifting nova
#

you could remove the apex talents

#

and nothing would change

#

hell, spec into anything else on the spec tree

#

for 4 points

royal zenith
#

but you also haven't seen any devourer ingame so

#

your opinion is debatable

drifting nova
#

no, I've died to them

royal zenith
#

(read; wrong)

drifting nova
#

I've yet to group with them (outside of like world bosses but lol)

lucid olive
drifting nova
#

the who

lucid olive
#

(arcantina is really sick btw)

drifting nova
#

guild/raids doesnt have any evokers

#

hell I've seen more monks

than evokers

royal zenith

you're literally blind I think

drifting nova
#

yep, sure am

#

when playing elunes chosen in m+ do i still cast stargire during incarn on st?

hybrid garden
#

though it does say to wrath when not in eclipse at all on single target

gentle patio
#

starfire in eclipse wrath outside

frank sail
#

I see in the compendium there are three builds listed. Keeper-Convoke the spirits. Keeper-Incarnation. Elunes chosen-convoke. Which one is ST and Aoe?

chilly coral
#

it says it in the compendium

gentle patio
#

elunes with convoke wat

hybrid garden
#

In general you'll play keeper convoke in raid for single target, keeper incarn on multitarget cleave, and elunes without convoke on sustained multitarget like paladins? That sounds about right to everyone?

digital berry
#

Check warcraftlog for a boss by boss build selection

hybrid garden
random pasture
#

Does anyone have a macro that makes you go into bear form and then cast HotW?

hybrid garden
#

Go check out each boss on the difficulty you are attempting and just copy one of those builds. It compiles top 100 or w/e logs

digital berry
#

Well you don’t copy builds from lorrgs

gentle patio
#

not if youre progressing

digital berry
#

It just sends you to wclogs and wclogs is much easier to grab builds from

hybrid garden
#

honestly with the questions being asked, he'll do just fine copying someone's build

#

will at least get him close

royal zenith
#

you're basically saying the same

#

cause lorrgs is using wcl

#

and you are being linked to wcl by clicking on the person

#

but typically it's used for cd management

#

aka planning when to use main cd's

hybrid garden
#

not really a meaningful argument this lol

royal zenith
#

there's zero argument

#

unless you want to be right?

digital berry
#

Nobody goes to lorrgs for talent builds let’s be real

pseudo merlin
#

lorrgs has talent builds?

#

other than using it to copy a link to wcl that is

Get a guild or keep track of crafters

if you are on the low pop faction on your realm, log onto opposite faction char and search there

digital berry
#

Leveling an alt is so jarring

The ui is shit, the bars are empty, nothing is where it’s supposed to be

The abilities all look the same, I am clueless

There's a delve gives big xp for farming mobs

#

800k-1.3m xp per hour

delicate perch
digital berry
#

Why bulli

delicate perch
#

it takes like 2 seconds to set up a good enough ui

digital berry
#

I think the big problem is I never used Elvui and had dominos and now I have both and they clash often so the bars are all over the place

delicate perch
#

I have neither of those and have 0 issues

lofty depot
#

Why do u need dominos if u have elv

digital berry
#

I don’t but I had all my bars already set up on dominos so when I installed gamz’s ui and it installed Elvui i just couldn’t be bothered to switch everything over

#

I fucking hate twiddling with the UI so much

velvet sentinel
#

then use luckyone's UI in elvui and live with it

fiery veldt
#

do we know if this buff is gunna do much for us?

#

idk numbers

exotic perch
#

starfall will do about 16% more dam

#

so i guess it will help but probably not a ton in the grand scheme of things

fiery veldt
#

so stick to getting carried by my mage

#

^thats a mage heart we aint smort

lofty depot
#

Depends how far off u were by said mage

fiery veldt
#

ill just keep doing both

#

frost mage is just low effort

lofty depot
#

Well that doesn't answer the question

craggy sonnet

he is the mage and the boomie

lucid olive
#

bis elvui profile

covert apex
#

hey, I'm kinda new to boomie, just completed the full raid in normal and the first m+. Is it just me or is keeper quite a bit more damage in m+ as well? I'm like 40k dps lower in big aoe pulls with elune. I don't think that I'm doing anything wrong cause Elune is even easier to play.

dawn surge
#

playing EC you finish dotting and the pack is half dead already in anything below like 12/13, sometimes 14 and 15 depending on the players ur with

digital berry
#

Yeah in 10s it’s really depressing to play either tbh nowadays

#

Shit is half hp when you are starting the ramp

covert apex
#

mhmm makes sense. But when I tested on target dummies in silvermoon I could do like 190k dps over 5 min with Keeper. With Elune I only managed around 160k. And this was quite a long timeframe. The treants come up every second eclipse / celestrial

wild dune
dawn surge
#

i mean youre probably just playing incorrectly or have a wack talent setup

digital berry
#

Sounds like user error for sure

dawn surge
#

what talents are you using in EC?

wild dune
#

the keeper treants are also prob moonfiring everything around the dummies

#

like the 5 extra dummies not in that clump

covert apex
wild dune
#

dummy dps tests are fairly pointless

dawn surge
#

yeah the starfall is also cringe and hits all those dummies too

covert apex
#

simmed higher than the build from the compendium on 5 targets for me

#

but yeah it's probably a combination of target dummies aren't good to test + I only ran +5 and lower so far, so keeper is just better there

digital berry
#

Surely not 5t5m

obsidian fjord

that first word man

#

has to be german right

proper mica
#

are there any talents to swap out the mushroom talent for? feels like it does nothing in raid

delicate perch
#

there are a few you can swap around, fairly sure gamz highlighted those in yellow in dreamgrove website

proper mica
#

wwty

red nymph
#

i think shroom, UI and SotF all sim around the same

delicate perch
#

I would not expect some wild difference though

#

they are all kinda beans

obsidian fjord
#

how would u not know that

exotic perch
#

lemme guess you are fluent in 10 different languages

#

and have an iq of 160 right?

jolly delta
#

Am I absolutely insane for thinking that the response regarding the mythic memory game is overblown?

obsidian fjord
jolly delta
#

And that it's a cringe mechanic to do without add-ons but I can see it being perfectly doable with 10 more ilvls

#

And the only "issue" is with RWF guilds wanting to do it now

exotic perch
#

the mechanic def seems like itd be really hard without an addon in its current state

#

you could def do that mechanic if it gave you double time to resolve

#

without that is

#

aint no way you can do that now without one

covert apex
# digital berry Sim? What kinda sim

I simply used patchwerk x5 since I don't know how else I can sim aoe im m+. Dungeon Slice is disabled for Balance. These are the results of the spec I posted vs. the compendium one (compendium had lower dps). Probably wrong do it like that but that's why I'm asking here.

delicate perch
#

lol

lucid olive
#

The real kicker with mythic L'ura for me is how they said "the way we make this fight harder for each difficulty would not have worked without the addon prune", and now we see that the mythic fight is Halondrus bombs + 15 kicks required every 30 seconds

delicate perch
#

are you often fighting 5 boss mobs for 5 minutes with 0 pots or lust

digital berry
covert apex
normal pilot
#

they ended up solving it all with addons anyways. all they did was create work for themselves solving a problem that never gets solved so they can keep doing more work

#

it's pretty good corporate work on blizz part

lucid olive
#

addons were constricting their creative space

exotic perch
#

heroic lura is a perfect example of a mechanic that is fine without addons

lucid olive
#

its the same excuse they gave to removing pulsar

exotic perch
#

that is cool mechanic

lucid olive
#

bring back addons and pulsar

digital berry
#

Idk I feel like people at that level of play should be able to look at 5 symbols and remember the order, or max as a raid lead should be able to coordinate the players

delicate perch
#

do you do the same damage from 30s/1/3/5/10 minutes?

normal pilot
#

it doesn't really matter if you could do it without addons tho

#

cuz they did it with addons

exotic perch
#

15 kicks is diabolical tho

#

that shit is too hard

digital berry
#

The kicks are insane and for sure will be nerfed by the time it reaches us

delicate perch
#

sim for ST and stop trying to pad

normal pilot
#

don't listen to doubters they just don't want you to take away their padding

#

but also can't really sim for m+ atm maybe try later in the tier

covert apex
covert apex
normal pilot
#

eh sometimes 5t/5m is ok depending on the state of the spec

it's just not ok right now

I might be misremembering but it seemed around 5s?

fiery kindle
#

padding time

exotic perch
#

but i imagine if they didnt have that addon the only way to do it is over voice

#

imagine 3/4 people trying to say each one that fast

desert imp
#

does anyone know of any free bcdm profile to copy for boomies?

jolly delta
#

Eg the raid leader counting a beat and everyone filling the blanks

normal pilot
#

it's 3 different groups each getting different info

proper mica
#

apparently i had a completely different raid spec

exotic perch
#

yeah the 3 different groups thing makes it really hard over voice

jolly delta
#

I mean, I clearly don't wanna couch game this

normal pilot
#

ya but now you're overestimating ppl

#

maybe the top 100 guilds would do that

#

or maybe not even that

digital berry
#

Yeah nobody expects the mechanic to look like this when normal guilds start progging

jolly delta
#

Idk I guess

#

I guess the issue is that it's a pass/fail mechanic so it doesn't really get easier with gear

spice roost
#

is anyoen actually seeing a noticable gain with sims with the overrides

delicate perch
#

what is the difference you're seeing

#

because it's probably small

lucid olive
#

maybe it should be header instead of footer

jolly delta
lucid olive
#

who knows

red nymph
#

why does the cauldron have a mile high insteraction box?

lucid olive
#

put it in all the boxes

digital berry
#

Idk I feel like with a raid lead remembering the order of the five symbols they should be able to just repeat it when relevant and the players should be able to position in time

jolly delta
#

Or well, tbh if everyone streams

delicate perch
jolly delta
#

And the raid lead just watches 20 streams

lucid olive
delicate perch
digital berry
jolly delta
#

3 different groups see part of the sequence

digital berry
#

Oh shit I am stupid

#

Ayyyyyyoooo

#

That’s insane

normal pilot
#

and i think the 3 groups are random each time?

#

so you can't just rely on your 3 good raiders beingin diff groups

exotic perch
#

yea its random

coral shell
#

Hey guys, what is your best way to farm Dawnlight Manaflux in PVE?

jolly delta
dusky folio
#

for m+, between eclipses on ST, should I be wrathing? very new to the spec so trying to understand how eclipses work properly

jolly delta
#

But it's cringe yeah

jolly delta
exotic perch
#

i dont mind information asymmetry but its too fast for any normal guild to react to

#

since the tools are not the same

normal pilot
#

if hte group split wasn't random, then you could put your 3 non-mouth-breathers into each realm and they could coordinate

dusky folio
#

so is a good rule of thumb to just wrath between eclipses on ST as my filler?

jolly delta
#

Yes that's what you asked no?

dusky folio
#

well i wanted to make sure there wasn't certain situations where starfire beats wrath in those situations

#

as I said, very new

Anyone heard if u cant immune execution sentence on vanguard boss?

#

ok thanks 🙂

u cant solo it

#

u need a minimum of what 3 or 4

bleak kiln
#

so u actually need soakers okay

obsidian fjord
#

yes

jolly delta
#

Where does compendium say that?

digital berry
#

He must have confused starfall and starfire

#

For target count at least

jolly delta
#

But then he mentions eclipse

lucid olive
#

it says starfire in lunar on 3+

#

thats what hes saying or

digital berry
#

So you’re telling me I’m supposed to wrath in lunar on 1 and 2t?

jolly delta
#

idk I think he's confused

jolly delta
#

the guy was asking about ec

lucid olive
#

maybe starfire on 2t if you happen to be in lunar

#

havent checked

digital berry
#

Oh well yeah I default to ec for m+ didn’t even consider keeper

lucid olive
#

you shouldnt be in lunar anyway in that situation

#

for EC you wrath outside of eclipse on st

covert apex
jolly delta
lucid olive
#

actually think the number of targets you wrath outside of eclipse is higher

drifting nova
#

cant be, it's currently 0

lucid olive
#

when i checked it was like 7 targets or something

#

but thats also like 2 months ago

#

so couldve changed with tuning stuff and sims getting better

digital berry
#

This is just such a good push into never speccing kotg In m+

covert apex
jolly delta
#

First of all that's KOTG

lucid olive
#

yeah that doesnt mention outside of eclipse

drifting nova
jolly delta
#

Second it never mentions anything outside of eclipse

urban bison
#

Hey all, im new to Balance. I have looked at icy veins and wow head. Was wondering if anyone else had some QoL macros that werent listed ther

drifting nova
#

at feet trees idk if thats there tho

covert apex
lucid olive
lucid olive
#

outside is more about just getting AP fast for your next Eclipse

#

casting starfire outside of eclipse very sluggish

covert apex
#

Well then it should maybe be mentioned in the compendium.

#

Otherwise ppl are just gonna make assumptions.

lucid olive
#

maybe, maybe not

#

i think wowhead might have it somewhere

#

need to keep one tidbit here and other tidbit there

#

make it like a scavenger hunt

jolly delta
#

Its also mentioned for EC which was what the guy was asking about

obsidian fjord
covert apex
drifting nova
lucid olive
#

its all good

exotic perch
#

ive just been here forever

#

but i will say ive helped to veto some oranges

drifting nova
#

weak cricket, handegg and worse than a black board

covert apex
#

btw for CE it says wrath on 1 target and starfire on 2+ targets outside of eclipse

lucid olive
covert apex
#

if I'm reading it correctly

drifting nova
obsidian fjord
jolly delta
#

Idk I was ready to let it go but

covert apex
#

aoe is 2+ targets

#

and it says "Use Starfire" at the end

#

wrath is not mentioned

lucid olive
#

yeah for EC you dont wrath on 2 targets

covert apex
lucid olive
#

starfire does like 100% more dam with lunar calling

#

or whatever number it is at now

lofty depot
#

the wrath out of eclipse also doesnt actually matter

lucid olive
#

i can never tell that shit gets pingponged more than psychic link

exotic perch
#

i think its 120% now

#

its the terran bunker of our spec these days

covert apex
jolly delta
jolly delta
#

Having someone take the time to fix them is appreciated

covert apex

(for example if you take the current KOTG aoe prio list literally then it just assumes you'll never be out of eclipse)

So does the aura of silence on vanguard proc from starfall? I was silenced for 20 straight seconds on that fight

lucid olive
#

Light of Elune procs from EC hero tree

#

or Lunar Bolts do it too

warm briar
#

Such a well developed game

#

No bugs or issues at all

spice roost
#

are we starfalling on 2targets after the tuning

lucid olive
#

yes

jolly delta
spice roost
#

is that only with kindling or without too

jolly delta
#

But I also was being too antagonistic, sorry about that

lucid olive
jolly delta
#

Truth is that most likely if there's something like that missing from the compendium it is because gamz is lazy it's not very worth thinking about

lucid olive
#

but doing that is better at 2 targets than main spending on starsurge without those talents

covert apex
snow elm
#

My sims tell me to wrath in 2t in ec even during eclipse 😭

lucid olive
#

gg

#

sims fake

#

@dull dust blame the mage

covert apex
jolly delta
#

Sure

covert apex
#

overall it just means less questions here, the more complete the information in the compendium is

jolly delta
#

But I think one can kinda guess to use Starfire at that point

lucid olive
#

questions are fun as well

#

or else it's just perma oogie woogie spam

#

and that gets old after a week..

jolly delta
#

gamz are you rank 9 delver's journey yet

#

you're missing on guaranteed hero drops from delves

covert apex
#

I'm still confused about rattle the stars vs. starweaver. Some say this, others say the other etc. Idk...is there a clear winner?

lucid olive
#

you can go check warcraftlogs and see what some top logs are playing for the content you're doing

#

but for most content it doesnt make a big difference

jolly delta
lucid olive
#

generally keeper better for raid and EC better for m+

lucid olive

gamzdos is 670 as well..

you can set eclipse as a tracked bar

i liked the moon and sun things on right and left before the expansion

i saw an addon earlier on reddit about that

Does anyone know how much of a difference it is in current patch between falling and surging on 2t?

dull dust
#

gamz what did we decide the awnser we are telling people is

lucid olive
#

with goldrinn and without kindling and meteorites its probably slightly better to starsurge on 2 but why would you play those talents anyway in that scenario

#

and with rattle and EC talents for m+ its also Starfall

oh i made sim explode

#

u can offset them but idk what u mean by moveable outside of that

#

moving them from the top to the botton?

#

surely natty plater just does it

dusky folio
#

i've seen elvui profiles where dots and debuffs/buffs are like centred right under their character

#

idk how they do it

lofty depot
#

that seems giga shit

stark meteor
#

does emerald nightmare have a tier set for tmogs

lofty depot
#

but u can just do that in the auras in elv

#

just change the offset

Is the mastery bonus multiplicative to itself while under Incarn?

lofty depot
#

astral spells like surge and starfall get effected by both eclipses bonuses

copper valve
#

👍

#

I didn't word that question well at all but you got where I was coming from OMEGALOOOOOOL

lofty depot
#

i assumed what u meant

copper valve
#

I assume when you say affected it's calculated as x*y rather than 1(x+y)?

normal pilot
#

ya damage effects from different buffs by default are multiplicative

copper valve

Got it 👍

how important is monitoring stellar amplification for council fights like vanguard?
do i need to monitor and keep up the stack on general venel as much as i can or i can forget about it?
like do i need to change my rotation of aoe to include starsurges to keep the buff as much as ai can or at least during his damage amp phase?

lofty depot

"need to"

#

the difference between surging 1 of the 2 targets in a 2t situation and surging both is 1% diffy

i dont get it
in vanguard fight am i keeping stellar amplification on venel most of the time or dont bother?

i would worry about it more when theres only 2 in range

Hi! I got Vaelgor's Final Stare 3/6 hero track in vault. I should go for that one right?

#

Myth track Tier shoulders look good too tho. I have Champion track shoulders currently.

nimble tangle
#

ngl i would pick that mythic ring

viscid rampart
#

Yeh thought about it too but I have it on hero track

#

Sim says trinket but it's easier to get I suppose than myth track gear (I don't raid mythic but clear HC)

trim ridge
#

would the value of haste increase on a fight with multiple priority add windows? wondering whether its worth putting some more haste on for crown

royal zenith
#

if you don't have vaelgor's stare you pick that

#

you can easily catalyze/loot mythic rings and/or pieces like hands, shoulders, etc.

spice roost
#

really hope he took the trinket

royal zenith
#

vaelgor's stare is easily +3k damage at heroic level

viscid rampart
royal zenith
#

also sim that shit

#

but do think about what is 'easy' to loot

viscid rampart
#

Yeye sim shows trinket by far, was just factoring in other aspects too

royal zenith
#

and the difference between heroic ring versus mythic ring

#

it's probably only* like a few 100 dps

you wont replace vaelgors unless u get a myth one

Hi guys I’ve been looking through some logs and I’m a little confused about star fall usages in raid, I see top logs on dragons just st and only prio star fall when orbs spawn, do we not star fall on 2 targets ?

polar leaf
#

I did 68k dps on crown hc and got a 20 grey log wtf xD how much do you have to do to actually get a purple or blue log on it?

grand crystal
#

at least 100k

polar leaf
#

damn, the group i killed it with the top had 99k, so its pretty hard to get good logs on it it seems

grand crystal
#

jsut play ur rotation better

#

look at wowanalyzer and upload ur log to see what u did wrong

#

und compare ur logs to logs from better players so u see what they have done what u havent

polar leaf
#

keeper of teh grove for single target?

#

aiit cool

#

Am i doing something wrong or is there no balance druid on the top 1k on crown (damage to bosses)

#

on warcraftlogs

raven obsidian
#

we the new starfall buff the rotation will change ?

obsidian tapir
raven obsidian
#

i mean for +2 targets

#

starsurge still > starfall ?

royal zenith
#

but there's at least 1 balance druid in top 1k @ spot 431

#

for heroic, that is

polar leaf
royal zenith
#

shouldn't you compare to just other balance druids in general, not other classes?

#

(aka filter it on just balance druids)

ah, yeah just filter based on spec

hi everyone, does this prio imply that no matter if i have starweaver's weft proc on 3+ targets i always still keep starfalling and that i actually never use that free starsurge?

lofty depot
#

U use the surge

#

It wants u to use asp to not cap or to use Starfall procs

frank vine
#

the free surge is still used on 3+ targets? i know i've asked about this before but i wonder if prio has changed and if it will change with us getting buffed next week

lofty depot
#

U'll see still use the surge proc in aoe

#

It's still better than casting starfire

frank vine
#

got it, thanks boss

lofty depot
#

Is kinda weird... If u have a weaver proc on surge and u don't have any on Starfall. U would rather surge me thinks so u don't munch

#

But looks better in apl to guide to not have 13 different lines of weaver this, cosmos this, weaver if not that

frank vine
#

it just feels kinda counterintuitive because starsurge is only 1 target blaster and starfire is a group mob blaster

#

but yes, i get where youre coming from

lofty depot
#

Gonna curb your thoughts

#

Starfire is not a mob blaster

#

Surge also gives other procs

frank vine
#

but why does it feel like that 😛

lofty depot
#

It's not just a hot damage

frank vine
#

true

lofty depot
#

New boomkin thinks something does damage when it doesn't

Starfire definitely used to do a lot more dmg in tww

exotic perch

quit showing us the relics of the past

grim crater
#

i have a question

royal zenith
#

how dare you

grim crater
#

Starsurge and starfall are arcane abilities correct? or are they astral? or is astral a damage done also by arcane abilities?

#

cause lunation reduces FoE when casting arcane abilities, yet i don't see them being labeled as arcane more so astral. They do reduce the cooldown ofc but just want to understand

exotic perch
#

they are astral

#

so both arcane and nature

sleek dirge
#

Nature : Sunfine + Wrath
Arcane : Moonfire + Starfire +Starfall
(spenders) Astral : Starsurge + Starfall

grim crater
#

playing boomkin for so long and its crazy I never bothered to understand that

#

I just thought astral was a third damage type druids did XD

next trench
#

is there a way to track stellar amp on nameplates? like with my moonfire/sunfire/mushrooms? or are we stuck with the debuffs blizz thinks we want to track even with plater

normal pilot
#

it's not your fault, blizz tooltips & explanations are atrocious

lucid olive
lucid olive
#

Wrath does more damage in Solar because the Solar Eclipse buff has Wrath flagged on it, the damage school doesn't matter

#

maybe in classic or previous versions of WoW you could consider damage schools like that, but the game was way more consistent back then

normal pilot
#

it changed after legion

#

up until legion game actually worked like most ppl would expect

lucid olive
#

gg

#

maybe after last titan

normal pilot
#

nah this new way is way better at protecting devs from players they're not gonna give it up

royal zenith
#

wow2 will be better

#

no worries

normal pilot
#

missing whitelist can only nerf players so there is less worry about player power

next trench
lucid olive
#

oh nameplates

#

sorry i read boss frames for some reason

#

thats where i track it at least

#

assume you can see stellar amp on nameplate if you toggle the option that also lets you see your Warlock's Havoc and other dogshit effects..

next trench
#

i guess i can just look at boss frames then if they're there. i hate blizzard so much i miss real addons 🥲

# lofty depot New boomkin thinks something does damage when it doesn't

i wouldnt consider myself new since i was playing on and off since dragonflight (not sure whats considered truly new in wow community), maybe just bad or uninformed, but all i know is that your help and gamz's help allowed me to understand some things more intricately and therefore the performance also got better, but i would actually love to know more things about boomkin and why some things actually matter in situations where most people think it wouldn't and vice versa

this might be a bit of a stupid question, but how does one even get into theory crafting and contributes to the community? (speaking for boomkins specifically now)

lucid olive
#

Soak up information like a sponge

lofty depot
#

Depends what u actually want to do with information

lucid olive
#

Answer questions when people ask

lofty depot
#

I started by trolling people's opener

lucid olive
#

Don't get upset if someone proves you wrong on something

#

Contributing to community just means helping curious people by answering questions or pointing them to good resources

frank vine
# lucid olive Don't get upset if someone proves you wrong on something

of course, i mean, with that information that would be gathered i'd like to contribute to the community whenever and in any way i can and to make people perform better, do higher keys, understand concepts of wow that are not overtly visible, etc. altho i still feel like im too inexperienced to do just that

lucid olive

that's fine, experience accumulates over time

lofty depot

Only way to get experience is doing it

frank vine

#

I started playing WoW in Shadowlands

if you look thru my message history in here I have asked some real dumb questions

It's the reason I do a million keys at the start of season, cuz then the fotms start asking questions I need to know how to answer

lucid olive
#

I pinged Gas once and complained about Bloodmallet being outdated

#

he just said "lol"..

normal pilot
#

it's not that big a deal, like rest of wow theorycrafting is more about time you put in than any kind of 'skill' or 'knowledge'

lucid olive
#

yeah

#

time and effort is all that is really needed

lofty depot

Yea look at gamz he's not skilled

so there is a feedback loop in using the opposite weaver procs

#

if you dont, then essentially the talent does nothing for you

#

.. use the weaver surge procs that is

#

and any free spender also gives you solstice

frank vine

man i was convinced since forever that starfall dmg applied steallar amp

frank vine
lofty depot
frank vine
#

isnt it only from ttc?

#

WHOA

craggy sonnet

no

frank vine

thats news

any free

#

even convoke surges give you solstice

frank vine
#

i know it says "free" in the talent tooltip

craggy sonnet
#

and the ec talent proc on a builder

lofty depot
#

No, it's from 'free' yea, it's a new interaction

lucid olive
#

star cascade ones give solstice too

lofty depot
#

Last tier it didn't

lucid olive
#

but convoke and star cascade give 1 second instead of 3

craggy sonnet
#

but those only at reduced duration (1s instead of 3s)

lofty depot
#

As does convoke, but it's 1 ye

frank vine
#

star cascade gives 1 second solstice?

lucid olive
frank vine
#

because its a "free" spender?

lofty depot
#

Solstice from weaver

lucid olive
#

yes it did

#

you just never played weaver

lofty depot
#

Lies deceit

lucid olive
#

Hail of Stars interacted with Weaver since it was added in 11.0.5

lofty depot
#

Welp, I lied get mad

#

Sowwie

frank vine
#

so:
free spenders from TTC and Weaver --> 3 seconds
free spenders from CTS and SC --> 1 second

lucid olive
#

the interaction was just not good until they moved the DoT dmg from Mastery and into ShSt

craggy sonnet
#

correct

lofty depot
#

Please don't say ttc or cts

craggy sonnet
#

and then you reset all your accumulated solstice duration to 6s when you pop the next eclipse

is Astral Insight being played primarily cause you're in a premade and know you're getting max value during incarn and Light of elune better for pugging? or is the difference just negligible so people are playing what they want
