I think they said they wanted it to be good in small air target counts or something
is busted or? not seen 1 yet
Perma eclipse just press wrath / sf to change the current eclipse
It might be good already in small counts
@john blizzard this guy doesn't speak for me or my class, please dont take his opinion seriously
why? just remove eclipse and increase the dmg of the base spells
I died to like 10 in pvp yday, only devourers I've seen
none in raid and none in m+
focus instead of the resource/spend mechanic of astral power and add full moon back
Bro the eclipse mechanic has never been good once they should just give up on it
mop wants a word
just forget that it's called Eclipse
I could forget if it WASNT A BUTTON
the current gameplay is new to the spec, the name is irrelevant
is it new?
Yeah mop is okay but it's only good because it's after wrath casino (cata was beta testing)
could call it herosim
"wooow eclipse is gone now we have "astral turbodick" spell on a 0.5s gcd"
and I'd still hate pressing it
Says CD slop man
it still does the same as eclipse
and went from a passive to a half gcd (bad)
it's regressive design
yeah, the issue isn't the name lol.. it is the terrible gameplay and ramp
When do i use [The Light of Elune] and [Astral Insight] in m+? Seems like ppl are doing different builds. Whats your thoughts?
the ONLY salvagable method vibes wise
comparing it to any previous version of eclipse is disingenous
there were bunch of reasons previous eclipse was bad, theres plenty of reasons this one is bad, but those are not related
it has a half baked damage seocndary in ascendant eclipses added onto it
I need to find my funny 10t 30s sim
P sure 1 is ahead in burst
you could remove the apex talents
and nothing would change
hell, spec into anything else on the spec tree
for 4 points
yeah that is just factually wrong
but you also haven't seen any devourer ingame so
your opinion is debatable
no, I've died to them
(read; wrong)
I've yet to group with them (outside of like world bosses but lol)
he's been busy chatting shit with the arcantina bartender
the who
(arcantina is really sick btw)
you're literally blind I think
yep, sure am
when playing elunes chosen in m+ do i still cast stargire during incarn on st?
yes you always and only cast starfire when playing elunes
though it does say to wrath when not in eclipse at all on single target
check this for more details: https://www.dreamgrove.gg/blog/balance/compendium#rotation
starfire in eclipse wrath outside
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?
it says it in the compendium
Those are all three st
elunes with convoke 
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?
Check warcraftlog for a boss by boss build selection
A Website to compare top parses in World of Warcaft.
Does anyone have a macro that makes you go into bear form and then cast HotW?
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
Well you don’t copy builds from lorrgs
not if youre progressing
It just sends you to wclogs and wclogs is much easier to grab builds from
honestly with the questions being asked, he'll do just fine copying someone's build
will at least get him close
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

not really a meaningful argument this lol
Nobody goes to lorrgs for talent builds let’s be real
This opener is wrong or am i trippen lol
The whole eclipse before incarn thing has been debunked and likely doesn’t truly give a dps increase
But do u know wat the ptr change even is? I don't remember if even said exactly wat they did
Can i get a source? Sorry for asking. I just liked having the max ap prior to going into my full incarn
Hiii,
Is Crucible of Erratic Energies simming correctly? I can't seem to get rid of it 😂
@lofty depot
yes, why would you want to
Are you simming it fully upgraded ? There’s an option for that afaik
As for what Arctic himself has said, it doesn’t matter either way so if you prefer you can eclipse first
I guess I don't want to in particular, I just got the Emberwing Feather and was hoping it would outdo it 😄
instead of 1 meteorite per wave of stars it now drops 2 and their dmg is reduced by 30%
I am, but I'm not sure how I can tell if mine is fully upgraded (apart from 6/6)
Just incase, you do have the actual nodes unlocked on the c onsole right?
Cuz otherwise you shouldnt be using it (yet)
Have you been doing weekly quests for the separate talent tree ?
😅 I've done the weekly thing, I'll check console real quick
Ty
I could put in all the points, but I hadn't..... Thanks 😅
oof
Made it do less damage but hit 2
Sorry late response
has anyone had a hard time getting their leather hands crafted?
i usually get someone to offer in like 5 min tops, but ive been at it for like 45 minutes now and no one has been abel to
thats what i thought but... nah man
ok i finally got one hit
Get a guild or keep track of crafters
Usually the same people craft each season/tier
if you are on the low pop faction on your realm, log onto opposite faction char and search there
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
use presets?
Go to shadow point and level ezpz
What does this even mean
you could've just said the last part but we knew that already
Why bulli
it takes like 2 seconds to set up a good enough ui
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
I have neither of those and have 0 issues
Why do u need dominos if u have elv
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
then use luckyone's UI in elvui and live with it
starfall will do about 16% more dam
so i guess it will help but probably not a ton in the grand scheme of things
Depends how far off u were by said mage
Well that doesn't answer the question
he is the mage and the boomie
real
bis elvui profile
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.
kotg can easily be better in lower keys because its a little more favorable for short burst, also trees will moonfire for you so you dont even need to pre dot everything
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
Yeah in 10s it’s really depressing to play either tbh nowadays
Shit is half hp when you are starting the ramp
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

i mean youre probably just playing incorrectly or have a wack talent setup
Sounds like user error for sure
what talents are you using in EC?
the keeper treants are also prob moonfiring everything around the dummies
like the 5 extra dummies not in that clump
that's a good point
I used this: https://murlok.io/character/eu/antonidas/lihanna/pve
dummy dps tests are fairly pointless
yeah the starfall is also cringe and hits all those dummies too
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
Sim? What kinda sim
Surely not 5t5m
I bet its sounds cooler
nope
are there any talents to swap out the mushroom talent for? feels like it does nothing in raid
there are a few you can swap around, fairly sure gamz highlighted those in yellow in dreamgrove website
wwty
i think shroom, UI and SotF all sim around the same
Am I absolutely insane for thinking that the response regarding the mythic memory game is overblown?
are you american
what happened
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
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
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.
lol
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
are you often fighting 5 boss mobs for 5 minutes with 0 pots or lust
laughably out of touch devs
Every time I see them do it they have sooo much fucking time. Idk if time is the problem
Obv not but is there a way to select multiple non boss mobs? And yes I often fight 5-10 mobs without pots & lust. Not for 5 mins obviously but the time shouldn't matter that much. I thought I decrease the variance if I keep the time kinda high.
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
addons were constricting their creative space
heroic lura is a perfect example of a mechanic that is fine without addons
its the same excuse they gave to removing pulsar
that is cool mechanic
bring back addons and pulsar
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
why would time not matter 
do you do the same damage from 30s/1/3/5/10 minutes?
it doesn't really matter if you could do it without addons tho
cuz they did it with addons
Unfortunately there just isn’t a good way to sim m+, pick the talent build that top players use and run with it
The kicks are insane and for sure will be nerfed by the time it reaches us
sim for ST and stop trying to pad
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
Cause it's the same hero tree with only slight differences in the node choices, so big cds are the same etc. So time shouldn't change too much. But you're right, 5 min is useless, it's just the default time and I didn't change it.
but m+ has so much aoe. If I only sim for st then keeper will always win since we use it as a raid spec
eh sometimes 5t/5m is ok depending on the state of the spec
it's just not ok right now
Those small differences unfortunately don’t matter as much as we’d hope they would, lots of pretty much interchangeable talents that don’t have much dmg variance
alright thanks! I guess I'll just run elune for m+ and keeper for raid to have a bit of variance.
look how fast the trash dies compared to bosses man
4 minute dragon 
what's the current time?
I might be misremembering but it seemed around 5s?
padding time
idk right now
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
does anyone know of any free bcdm profile to copy for boomies?
Well I mean I'm not smart enough but I would suspect that it's possible to come up with smart ways to coordinate
Eg the raid leader counting a beat and everyone filling the blanks
it's 3 different groups each getting different info
apparently i had a completely different raid spec
yeah the 3 different groups thing makes it really hard over voice
I know but the sequence is one, so if everyone talks only on the correct moment
I mean, I clearly don't wanna couch game this
ya but now you're overestimating ppl
maybe the top 100 guilds would do that
or maybe not even that
Yeah nobody expects the mechanic to look like this when normal guilds start progging
Idk I guess
I guess the issue is that it's a pass/fail mechanic so it doesn't really get easier with gear
is anyoen actually seeing a noticable gain with sims with the overrides
maybe it should be header instead of footer
I mean, in raw numbers yes
who knows
why does the cauldron have a mile high insteraction box?
put it in all the boxes
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
The raid lead doesn't know the order in mythic
Or well, tbh if everyone streams
??? expert advice??
good one

Wdym, it just flashes above the boss . Or am I cooked and misunderstood the whole mechanic
It's split in mythic
3 different groups see part of the sequence
and i think the 3 groups are random each time?
so you can't just rely on your 3 good raiders beingin diff groups
yea its random
Hey guys, what is your best way to farm Dawnlight Manaflux in PVE?
group 1 can get 1/5, group 2 can get 2, group 3 can get 3/4
or any other random order
Honestly this feels the best way to do it without add-ons
for m+, between eclipses on ST, should I be wrathing? very new to the spec so trying to understand how eclipses work properly
But it's cringe yeah
Yes
Yes, but it's a very small difference
i dont mind information asymmetry but its too fast for any normal guild to react to
since the tools are not the same
if hte group split wasn't random, then you could put your 3 non-mouth-breathers into each realm and they could coordinate
so is a good rule of thumb to just wrath between eclipses on ST as my filler?
Yes that's what you asked no?
well i wanted to make sure there wasn't certain situations where starfire beats wrath in those situations
as I said, very new
Check out the compendium, it's in the pinned msgs. Rotations etc. are all described there. You only starfire on 3+ targets if not in a lunar eclipse and without a starfire proc.
Anyone heard if u cant immune execution sentence on vanguard boss?
ok thanks 🙂
evidently our pallies are dying through bubble?
so u actually need soakers okay
yes
Where does compendium say that?
.
So you’re telling me I’m supposed to wrath in lunar on 1 and 2t?
idk I think he's confused
only with keeper
the guy was asking about ec
Oh well yeah I default to ec for m+ didn’t even consider keeper
you shouldnt be in lunar anyway in that situation
for EC you wrath outside of eclipse on st
I said that outside of an eclipse you'd only starfire on 3+ targets. If in lunar eclipse then you'd starfire even on less targets, no? E.g. if some targets died and only 2 are left
Compendium doesn't say that no?
actually think the number of targets you wrath outside of eclipse is higher
cant be, it's currently 0
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
This is just such a good push into never speccing kotg In m+
First of all that's KOTG
yeah that doesnt mention outside of eclipse
EC doesnt bette st anyway

Second it never mentions anything outside of eclipse
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
at feet trees idk if thats there tho
Why would it be different outside of eclipse if it's described for both inside of CA? Wouldn't the same rule apply for no CA / Eclipse?
you have more haste and other shit in eclipse than outside

outside is more about just getting AP fast for your next Eclipse
casting starfire outside of eclipse very sluggish
Well then it should maybe be mentioned in the compendium.
Otherwise ppl are just gonna make assumptions.
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
Its also mentioned for EC which was what the guy was asking about
confucius say when you assume you make an ass out of u and me rex
The person mentioned neither ec nor keeper. They just said they are new to the spec and asked a general question.

its all good
we got a white name answering someones question and vinter is tryna scare him away
look at him typing up a storm
mans like bruce almighty
only white name that can do that is kekkers
nah bro im past that
bc i know itll be some good shitpost
I've reached enlightenment
whys chancel get orange before me huh, answer me that

imposter
idk man that is not my dept
whos got the minutes
kekkers do you like baseball, american football or basketball?
weak cricket, handegg and worse than a black board
btw for CE it says wrath on 1 target and starfire on 2+ targets outside of eclipse
then you don't want orange name
if I'm reading it correctly
orange is my favourite colour after all 
you'll need to do a lot more than for CE rex. L'ura is no joke!
yeah for EC you dont wrath on 2 targets
thanks!
the wrath out of eclipse also doesnt actually matter
i can never tell that shit gets pingponged more than psychic link
I think we figured it out now. Thanks for the talk.
You're free to open a PR to the compendium if you ever feel like it
I'm being fully serious here. Some things can be explained better and small issues fall through the cracks
Having someone take the time to fix them is appreciated
Well I don't know what's optimal. I just told someone to check out the compendium and made an assumption based on what I found there. And it felt like you're trying to make me look stupid since it's all so obvious. Seems like I misunderstood that, sorry for that. I'm just trying to figure out how to play this class better.
(for example if you take the current KOTG aoe prio list literally then it just assumes you'll never be out of eclipse)
I'll gladly help once I get a bit more time into this game to figure stuff out. Right now I'm just testing things.
yeah, that part confused me, so I just took the CA target prio and used it for out of eclipse as well
So does the aura of silence on vanguard proc from starfall? I was silenced for 20 straight seconds on that fight
game is good
are we starfalling on 2targets after the tuning
yes
Wasn't trying to make you look stupid and sorry if it sounded this way. I found it just a bit silly to quote something that is not actually in the compendium
is that only with kindling or without too
with
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
but doing that is better at 2 targets than main spending on starsurge without those talents
Yeah all good. I shouldn't have assumed that the lack of explicit non eclipse target prio meant that it's the same. Prob made that connection in my head and then forwarded it like that. At least it helped to find an incomplete section in the compendium.
My sims tell me to wrath in 2t in ec even during eclipse 😭
good point, damage outside of eclipse is kinda lackluster but on let's say 10 targets you'll prob feel a difference with starfire instead of wrath
Sure
overall it just means less questions here, the more complete the information in the compendium is
But I think one can kinda guess to use Starfire at that point
You'd be surprised
eh
questions are fun as well
or else it's just perma oogie woogie spam
and that gets old after a week..
gamz are you rank 9 delver's journey yet
lmao good one
true true
i'm 275
I'm still confused about rattle the stars vs. starweaver. Some say this, others say the other etc. Idk...is there a clear winner?
whatever the vibe feels like brother
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
yes but think about the gamztres
generally keeper better for raid and EC better for m+
that guy just existed for a few days until his heroic split was over
gamzdos is 670 as well..
So is standing in middle of crown P1 bad? Big dam with starfall but can leave bad puddles
is there a way to track eclipse without having to move the buff tooltips?
like a bar or something
holy
with vaelgor trinket and alnseer
I miss twosune... 
It's like 70/30 Starweaver for the top m+ players. But since Rattle seems viable and is less buttons / easier to play I might just go with that.
blizzard CDM
only option?
i liked the moon and sun things on right and left before the expansion
looking for something like that
i saw an addon earlier on reddit about that
thanks for reminding me
enough people ask about the default spell alerts being gone, if this one fixes it could be good
lmk if you found it 🙏🏼
Play the one you find more fun, the difference isn't that substantial and it's hard to even predict properly
do u have the name
You'll find that real world parses will gravitate towards one or another but, as the variance you've seen suggests, it's w/e
You're right. I just like to theorycraft.
eh, i think it was eqol
but i'm looking thru it to see if i can find it
How do you guys feel about the strength of boomys overall though in raid & m+? Are we like mid of the pack or struggling?
What’s the advantage of weaver over rattle in keys even if both sim the same
@lucid olive
Most likely the fun aspect if you enjoy procs & more buttons to press.
yeah but it seems a bit complicated
thanks ❤️
slightly more prio damage
wasnt that fixed already
i think it looks like ass, but it works
can change width and height of the textures to make them look less jarring
its honestly kinda funny how they made it work
Does anyone know how much of a difference it is in current patch between falling and surging on 2t?
top one main spends on Starfall and only uses Starsurge on Starweaver procs, second one main spends on Starfall and uses Cosmos and Starweaver on Starsurge
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
is it dead
doesnt even use ca at 2t
50% still

im betting lower 600
this shit sucked ass
look at that smile tho
bro the beloran achieve is like "heres a super easy task that will take you 2 minutes"
and then every single aspect of the task is bugged
so we got farmed for an hour
we spent MORE time just trying to pick up an egg than we did actually fighting the boss

step 1, pick up egg. step 2, hit 10 light mechs and 10 void mechs
ez pz
tell me why my tanks cant pick up the fucking egg
like its not clickable
QA brrr
@delicate perch guardian keys really slam this tier too
i just did like 300k pulling like 5 packs together in nexus point
ya I did most of my week 1 keys as bear
just pull around incarn and beat the dps 
line up incarn for dmg amp on 2nd boss

lmfao glad they "nerfed" it
same, i got it in veteran track tryna get hero
also healing as resto shaman is insane how easy it is
after nerf, right?
u know big pull in AA before 3rd boss
mmhm mmhm
beat people on damage amp on nexus
theres a lot of pulls i just slam and people are like wtf
is there something i am doing wrong? my st dam is so much better then my aoe
playing wrong prob
maybe u do
have u tried natures grace instead of steller amp in keys
im getting better results after copying cotties build with it
nah
does anyone know if there are good elvui profiles, not necessarily for balance druid, but for all classes, where the debuffs/dots are moveable and not necessarily on top of the nameplate of the enemy?
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
i've seen elvui profiles where dots and debuffs/buffs are like centred right under their character
idk how they do it
that seems giga shit
does emerald nightmare have a tier set for tmogs
ah shit it's just nighthold nvm
minus the addon drama, this fight is badass.
have you tried X in keys? no I log out asap
Is the mastery bonus multiplicative to itself while under Incarn?
astral spells like surge and starfall get effected by both eclipses bonuses
i assumed what u meant
I assume when you say affected it's calculated as x*y rather than 1(x+y)?
ya damage effects from different buffs by default are multiplicative
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?
"need to"
the difference between surging 1 of the 2 targets in a 2t situation and surging both is 1% diffy
and come tuesday ur starfalling 2t
do we starfall 2target with meteor storm aswell
ye
ok ty
sorry sir
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
rather than keeping track on 3t
but u dont need to do it at all tbf
can someone help me figure out why this guys avg dmg on his spells are so much higher than mine? https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/XGmc3KDkMf27Zpbr?fight=8&type=damage-done&source=615 https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/gM4Lz2yxhFTjPHRv?fight=90&type=damage-done&source=155
that makes things a lot easier!
you have like half the hits he does but thats such an odd thing to compare
that's why im looking at avg dmg per hit.
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.
ngl i would pick that mythic ring
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)
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
trinket if u dont have it by far
insane take
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.
really hope he took the trinket
vaelgor's stare is easily +3k damage at heroic level
Did not select it yet, appreciate the input
Yeye sim shows trinket by far, was just factoring in other aspects too
and the difference between heroic ring versus mythic ring
it's probably only* like a few 100 dps
understandable
you wont replace vaelgors unless u get a myth one
hi. im tryna craft myself an alnhara cane as my first craft. i cannot find any info on what missive im supposed to use here. any input?
haste/mastery or crit/mastery are safe bets, sim it for the actual dif

😂 i have harder vault hc gaze or mythic chest
"harader vault"
I mean hard decision
haradar vault
Legit easiest decision in the universe what
hey guys is there stat cap on mastery ? or stats i need to hit
Follow the robot
Hello at 285 lvl which item has more intellect ; Feet / waist / wrist / back / hand ? ( i want to craft an item )
You can always just browse the items on the crafting order guy
im betting feet
thanks guys
almost
im always surprised when someone knows this info
because I legit never look at stats in game
most of the times they're just funny numbers for the robot
who would ever remember what the big medium small slots are
they keep changing all the time
a couple of weeks ago someone said that neck doesnt give int and i had no idea 
Whats the second best crafted Gear? I have the weapon

legion?
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 ?
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?
at least 100k
damn, the group i killed it with the top had 99k, so its pretty hard to get good logs on it it seems
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
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
we the new starfall buff the rotation will change ?
why would it change ?
dunno what you're trying to do
but there's at least 1 balance druid in top 1k @ spot 431
for heroic, that is
hmm ok then i missed it, yes heroic logs on crown im trying to see how he played. Ty
shouldn't you compare to just other balance druids in general, not other classes?
(aka filter it on just balance druids)
ok didnt know about the filter, iam comparing to balance druids ofc not other classes
ah, yeah just filter based on spec
Ty
any boomies that have played alleria (crown of the cosmos) mythic , any tips?
Not currently, on Tuesday yes (should read the guide)
same as any other range
maybe u can watch ranged group get add in p1 with typhoon/ursol or some shit
p2 normal ranged guy do normal things
p3 normal ranged guy do normal ranged things
nothing spec specific
ranged group can steal aggro with healer threat and dh stars and shit in p1
I'd go watch adeptxo's vod and see... But it plays the same as before.
Learn how to wild charge presumably
the fight is just full choreograph
no real dmg check
just rote learn movement
maybe some tether immune technologies
yeah, watched a VoD
classic dance
maybe i should start dancing IRL i am getting good at this
The clue for 2t is to keep up stellar amp on both targets. That is why they are not pressing Starfall as the main spender.
It buffs your periodic dmg by a significant amount
starfall on 2 
whoever designed dmf is a crackfiend
Unlucky Starfall buff makes stellar amp stronger as well. Still surge on 2t
Yea surely
Hands is a good 285 craft yeh?
yeah
Ty
fr? ong? nocap?
Mmhm mmhm
sadly cap 😔
Please math is out somehow so that we use fall on 2t
Idc if you have to pull numbers out of your ass
you heard the man
Honestly even if starfalling on 2t come Tuesday is only a smidge worse I’m still going to do it because it feels right and it’s what god intended
What's a smidge
Less than 40% difference
there is no god in boomie design decisions
40% .... Holy

It's already that way silly
5% is huge im leaning toward up to 1%
Less than that 🙂
At this point .5% is legit 50 dps like im not gonna care
I’m falling on dragons and nobody can stop me
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?
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
got it, thanks boss
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
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
Gonna curb your thoughts
Starfire is not a mob blaster
Surge also gives other procs
but why does it feel like that 😛
It's not just a hot damage
true
Wrong feelings
New boomkin thinks something does damage when it doesn't
Starfire definitely used to do a lot more dmg in tww
really??
quit showing us the relics of the past
i have a question
how dare you
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
Nature : Sunfine + Wrath
Arcane : Moonfire + Starfire +Starfall
(spenders) Astral : Starsurge + Starfall
ahh
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
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
it's not your fault, blizz tooltips & explanations are atrocious
stellar amp is tracked among those
nature, arcane and astral are all just random names and don't really matter outside of explaining the spec to a beginner
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
it changed after legion
up until legion game actually worked like most ppl would expect
nah this new way is way better at protecting devs from players they're not gonna give it up
missing whitelist can only nerf players so there is less worry about player power
i have the default jundies nameplates atm and i'm not seeing it, i feel stupid asking but where in the plater menu would i toggle it back on? tysm
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..
i guess i can just look at boss frames then if they're there. i hate blizzard so much i miss real addons 🥲
ty
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
Ur date joining dreamgrove 🙂
😛
since im new gotta be careful lmao
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)
Just stick around
Soak up information like a sponge
Depends what u actually want to do with information
Answer questions when people ask
I started by trolling people's opener
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
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
that's fine, experience accumulates over time
Only way to get experience is doing it
lel
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
I pinged Gas once and complained about Bloodmallet being outdated
he just said "lol"..
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'
Yea look at gamz he's not skilled
but a lot of the effort goes unpaid and thankless
"expert"
all the tools are publicly available to anyone
it's not like theorycrafters are any better equipped than anyone else
ppl writing guides just use the same shit everyeone else does
yeah so all that "omg X spec has been busted since legion!" class tribalism is incredibly cringe to me
Says the 3 druid mirrors player
lol us old heads remember the more fun times
that does in a way make sense yup, but where do you find those tools (yes, i'm that uninformed)
Soooo depends what u mean
If you think theorycrafting is just apl writing
It's not
also for what its worth, being a guide writer wasn't something i set out to do at all
🤌
it was season 4 fated Dragonflight and Dsune said something like "idk if I wanna do Compendium anymore"
so I just did it for season 4
realized it was fun
and then kept doing it
and now you are doing 3 diff guides and realize it was a mistake all along
Chancel writes apl, and he doesn't know dick about boomkin
nah I am still having fun with it
thats good then!
the parts about it that isn't fun is interacting with all the other "theorycrafters"
And we appreciate your work 
Blud 
and feeling like a project manager
Hey I'm out of the loop here what happened with balance druid, 2 weeks ago people were saying it was saved and now it's the least represented ranged in high keys
is that the wowhead ppl
no
When we talk about being good, that doesn't mean it needs to be meta
unfortunate
It means ur not a warrior and not detrimental to a group
whats your IO gas
tunnelvision is real
First time touching boomie since BFA so be kind 🥹
Looking through the pins to understand a bit more of the rotation for m+ & then some key logs. Seeing next to no nature dam / wrath’s etc. Are folks just slamming arcane and astral even during bosses & 2T fall off?
wait did rio get bought out by zam this shit looks like wowhead adslop
is me!

Most people are playing elunes chosen which doesn't press wrath at all or often
the new generation is only focused on the minigame of wanting to get dps number up
regardless of humans..
(actually not me, i think, maybe)
But the "nature" vs "arcane" damage doesn't matter
huh guess i wasn't that bad
Ty, I assumed it had to do with the hero tree. Appreciate it!!
week 1 score??

Do you ever cast wrath as elune's chosen or is it just pew pew star chicken all the way?
On single target outside of Eclipse
Gotcha
i wanna just quickly go back to this what arctic said (not sure how to exactly name him since well yeah) but what exactly does it proc other than stellar amp?
because i know gamz that we talked before about this using surge procs in aoe and you said that it might only be "possible" to ignore the free surge procs if there was like a target count above 10
trying to do old stuff in wow is so ungodly broken, blizzzard why
garry
assuming you play weaver, it can also proc you a free starfall
fair point, i dont know how i just automatically dismissed that possibility
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
man i was convinced since forever that starfall dmg applied steallar amp
wait, this is impled to ANY?
If u have weaver or cosmos proc, it's solatice
no
thats news
i know it says "free" in the talent tooltip
and the ec talent proc on a builder
No, it's from 'free' yea, it's a new interaction
star cascade ones give solstice too
Last tier it didn't
but convoke and star cascade give 1 second instead of 3
but those only at reduced duration (1s instead of 3s)
As does convoke, but it's 1 ye
star cascade gives 1 second solstice?
what didnt
because its a "free" spender?
Solstice from weaver
Lies deceit
Hail of Stars interacted with Weaver since it was added in 11.0.5
so:
free spenders from TTC and Weaver --> 3 seconds
free spenders from CTS and SC --> 1 second
the interaction was just not good until they moved the DoT dmg from Mastery and into ShSt
correct
Please don't say ttc or cts
and then you reset all your accumulated solstice duration to 6s when you pop the next eclipse
fun
My brain doesn't like that
honestly, mine neither, cause what it is Sh and St
sometimes do get lost in these abbreviations
shooting stars
Lol, well some is fine, ShS is shooting stars
I'm not a big abbreviation user either but I was typing with 1 hand
great
Wait til u know what dogs and cats are
dont wanna know that
yeah you need good cat procs and good dog procs
Goldrinn = dog
Denizen = cats
woofs and mews
please enlighten me
need to proc cats in your cooldowns as well
darn cats
do the weekly housing quest for crests every week and send to your alt
and then gear it in like 7 weeks time
loool, just now seeing this
or you can just spam delves i guess
better to wait a few weeks till you get the hero crest save for alts
or you just have to play so much more
champ/hero crest save is fast
and when it is, dam = big
tbh I just want to play m+
so I kinda need what
240?
to start getting invited into +2s
or running my owns
you can get like 255 from just delves
if you have a premade group, 235 is more than enough to do a+ 10 probably
Ur not getting into groups as 240
maybe you arent
with my main's rio i am
Can u acc do that shit every week
I thought it was a 1 time thing
ye the housing is weekly

depends on how picky some people are
but the item is warbound for the crest
once a week across your entire warband i think
20 hero ye
o 20 hero ye
i just took some marl lol
or an augment rune
the coffer keys auto combining when you enter a delve is so nice actually
i will never understand this currency slop
why do i need shards that combines into keys that drop coins that transmute into crests
something something
so you play more
for my crafted offhand weapon what embellishment do i need to use?
its all to get those MAU up
does weaver outperform rattle in m+ ec? generally speaking
yeah yeah, im using the build from compendium just not soul of the forest but umbral embrace
this is with bountiful ones only no?
do 3 preys for map
but then arent i capped on keys?
ok should be fine then
Did u already craft said oh
Cuz u shouldn't
havent crafted it yet
you def craft a staff now
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
Staff better, crest efficiency>
then make an offhand later in the tier if you get the good main hand
Right now it might depend how long shit lives, need to test more
already got heroic main hand
So what
- The mh is 66% of the stats so ur getting less stats and spending crests on 33%
- If u do mh+oh ur spending 160 crests and not 80
what if I craft 3 items though
but I want to pad my ilvl
In the sense that packs are dying relatively close to the same time incarn is up? Light starts to pull ahead when incarn isn't lasting x% of the pull
