fun good for dps

ivory osprey
#

noo its not necessary, I am looking for opinions about the way this spec feels right now, not just dps but the design itself.
I can improve analyzing my own log, actually I learn way better like this, but I appreciate!

calm bough
#

Is this correct or should I tweak something

fair pasture
#

But if it only feels a certain way because of doing something wrong then it's not an accurate assessment also boomkin #1

sundered firm yucky

pseudo merlin
#

if above 16 you do it anyway

lofty depot
#

hmm

pseudo merlin
#

fuck i said above

#

shoulda said 16 or above

true viper
#

does beam fuck up the kicks on lura

#

on mythic

vital hound
#

OH

#

wrong boss

grim crater
#

How much mastery should I be at having most of the bis gear slots?

#

Im assuming anything above 30% in boomy form

lofty depot
#

thats not really what u should be looking at

#

theres not a "should" have number

#

think i have around 900

grim crater
lofty depot
#

but u dont and i dont have bis gear

#

even "most" is a stretch

#

u might have most of the m+ bis heroic gear

#

but theres some more coniditons to that

ionic oak
#

i only have 1066. wiggity wack

grim crater
#

Dude I honestly feel like im not getting better. Falling behind in m+ in dmg at least 30k behind and i cannot figure out why

lofty depot
#

post a log

grim crater
#

My rotations aren't perfect, but I don't think they need to be perfect to the point where im that behind

lofty depot
#

well theres perfect and theres wrong right

grim crater
#

But today I ran a couple and am really lacking the ramp up in dmg

lofty depot
#

well i want u to post a new one from not 3 days ago

#

because we went over this 3 days ago

#

and i want to see a new one

grim crater
#

Yeah Ill go for it tomorrow and hit you up

#

Ill do a quick m+ with the boys and record logs

keen warren
#

And should 80+ parse be something i should be able to reach consistently or im just bad?

delicate perch
#

what are we doin here

keen warren
#

Yeah, I will cancel a wrath or especially a starfire if I capped on AP. Working on that and probably what that is.

delicate perch
#

85% means just a bit of literally nothing, including the cancelled casts

#

arctic will probs go more in depth but seems like a good place to start

#

lot of wasted ap too

keen warren
#

Okay, wasn’t sure if it accounts for mechanics. Like moving the fear breath or getting in the gloom

#

But maybe those are miniscule

delicate perch
#

it wouldn't no and obviously you can just get overloaded with mechanics on some fights, but I don't think any fight has that many mechanics

#

that's more where planning ahead incase you get it and be in a position to just wild charge out instead of having to cat form sprint to make it out etc

#

all adds up

keen warren
#

Good point, and when in encarn and CA, seems like guides say to just spend for the 3 empowered spender procs and keep wrathinf unless near cap or a free proc. But I feel like dumping at the beginning of CA and eclipse provide a lot of damage. I’m doing something way wrong because I have a fellow Druid in there keeping up with me in damage most fights and he’s 10 ilvls lower

lofty depot
#

convoke on dragons

#

and 1m convoke at tha

#

this build is disgusting

#

fix it

#

ur doing the opener wrong for it as well

#

didnt dot both

#

trees prior to ca

#

soooo ca lasts 12 seconds... so at 15 those surges are likely out of ca

#

why are we also dumping asp outside of eclipse

keen warren
#

Okay got it, wrong talents for boss or wrong talents for entire raid generally?

lofty depot
#

idk why were sending starfire in solar

lofty depot
keen warren
lofty depot
#

this is better sequence, but rather if theres adds out u wanted to be preping starfalls into it

#

ur also sunfiring in ca which is bad

lofty depot
#

so ur taking ideas for talents and not practical talents

#

also i havent said it, but ur spending on surges

#

and you should be spending on starfall

#

in which case ur not talented into kindling

keen warren
#

Spending on star falls when? For the free procs ?

lofty depot
#

is this the "i have a breathe" part of that

shy knot
#

At this stage at heroic wouldn't meteor storm be better than kindling?

lofty depot
#

on 2 targets u press starfall

keen warren
#

Okay, so for the entire fight I dot both bosses and spend starfall

lofty depot
#

yes but that wasnt the point

#

i want him to understand u should be casting starfall

#

also.. those heroic adds die in .5 seconds

shy knot
#

Ye I just wanted to learn something for myself 😛

lofty depot
#

is w.e.

lofty depot
#

also i want to make sure u acknowledge this... stop starfiring in solar

royal zenith
#

Acknowledge it or you will be sued

keen warren
lofty depot
#

mmhm mmhm

#

that doesnt matter

#

u dont go into lunar in any fights in the raid

#

u dont cast starfire in solar

sharp cairn
#

@lofty depot How do you find the time sequence of what people cast? My parses are horrible so id like to look at better players.

lofty depot
sharp cairn
keen warren
#

So even in the paladin fight I stay in solar eclipse and wrath but spend with starfall

lofty depot
#

well thats the exception

#

but ur playing EC on that fight so

#

well i should say 99.999999999% of people

#

the 0.000000001% are playing convoke 1m and doing no looking at logs

keen warren
#

Okay got it!

  1. Use right talents
  2. Generally never enter lunar or use starfall.
  3. Use right opener
  4. Work on cancels and abc
lofty depot
#

i need to look at voras first

shy knot
#

Starfire*

lofty depot
#

cuz dragons doesnt help u

lofty depot
lofty depot
jaunty blaze
#

That's rough

lofty depot
#

this is next level opener

#

u wouldnt understand

jaunty blaze
#

😭

keen warren
#

Yikes did I double tap encarn there?

lofty depot
#

no u double tapped incarn

#

u also didnt dot before it

keen warren
#

lol, feels bad. Didn’t remember that

lofty depot
#

riveting gameplay

keen warren
#

Cancels, starfire and starfall. Probably adds but now I know it’s bad

lofty depot
#

this is a natty casted starfall

#

which isnt done on st

#

however when playing starweaver, u wouldve casted starfall on that touch of cosmos proc

#

sending convoke outside of eclipse let alone incarn

keen warren
#

Okay, I didn’t realize how terrible I am doing the rotation. Ton of mistakes

lofty depot
#

u effectively casted nothing in 30 seconds

#

seems to happen where u build for like 20 seconds

#

have asp for some stuff but then when idk anything happens ur eveywhere

#

theres like negative mechanics during that fight

keen warren
#

Okay, this was all helpful. I’ll try to pug some raids to get more practice time.

lofty depot
#

like during the slams

#

ur building buildign building then surge move into the circle

#

then build for another w.e. it is 5 seconds

#

spend to move

#

granted this is a little harder with rattle

#

ur canceling casts and or doing nothing to move

keen warren
#

Okay, makes sense I think. I should be spending whenever I need to move and building when I know I’m about to move

lofty depot
#

correct u dont "need" to spend

#

build starlord, dont cap asp, spend procs

#

outside of those, your building and then spending to make sure you have good damage while moving

keen warren
#

Got it, thanks for all this

livid jay
#

anyone else just running out of eclipses at some point on mythic paladins in EC?

#

feels like i got so much ap all the time that i barely need to build outside before pressing again

round field
#

yes everyone

#

thats how the spec is designed

livid jay
#

well it aint that bad in keeper

#

havent really played ec until paladins

round field
#

thats a sign

#

keeper > elunes stinker

livid jay
round field
#

dont be a sheep

shadow willow
#

got rank 15 boomy on vael but didn't realize i had wild mushrooms because i blind copied rank 1 gg...

lofty depot
#

are u saving incarns in places

livid jay
#

not really so far

lofty depot
#

hold 4m til around 430

#

u can also see where people are eclipsing on lorrgs

livid jay
#

hmm i copied some timings and the guy was sending it before soak

#

why u holding?

#

just so u can cast more efficiently after dodging?

lofty depot
#

cuz i was hotw-ing

#

and didnt want to waste time in incarn

livid jay
#

yea seems im not the only one that has that gap after like 1:20 roughly

lofty depot
#

and sometimes i was having to sit in bear

#

well u have the game yes

#

u could also hav eless gaps by spending eclipse prior to incarn in the opener

#

if u look at 6

livid jay
#

yea but lust still up shrug

lofty depot
#

less massive downtime

#

do u think when i said spend eclipse i meant holding incarn for the duration

livid jay
#

oh my bad

#

its early

lofty depot
#

u spend eclipse to spend the ascendent procs for starfall buffs

#

more starfall buff

livid jay
#

so u kind of did what number 4 and 6 are doing with incarn timings up to like 2:something

lofty depot
#

ye

tawny linden
#

Did you also encounter a bug where moonkin from plus bl on the first boss in pit of saron does not save you from hiding behind the rock?

lofty depot
#

i was playing pretty safe cuz we 5 heal

lofty depot
#

ive not encountered it this expac tho

#

used to happen in priory

#

but its not a bug

tawny linden
#

Yep, I was so big that I could manage to dps behind the rock and take stacks

sharp cairn
#

Whats the set GcD in retail atm?

lofty depot
#

usually out of incarn by the time the rock is out

tawny linden
#

That was a bad use of Inc, but was not expecting though

livid jay
#

anyone got a mw alt and wants to raid xD

sharp cairn
#

Aint the GcD in retail 1.5 seconds then reduced by haste?

lofty depot
#

uhh sure

#

y

sharp cairn
#

Im looking at a log of a palyer, and he cast starfal after a starsurge within 0.5 seconds, im confused.

lofty depot
#

in lust

sharp cairn
#

AH ofc

#

Dumb morning brain be dumbing

lofty depot
#

mmhm mmhm

sharp cairn
#

Ye nah i gotta start looking at logs and do beter, my parses are horrible

livid jay
#

u know wowanalyzer?

lofty depot
#

parses are tricky

#

so much padding

sharp cairn
#

Im just gona start logging and doing Norm/heroics over and over and over till i got it in my fingers

#

I had a 4 parse yesterday on crown. And i am ashamed.

lofty depot
#

did u die

sharp cairn
#

yeah

#

but still

lofty depot
#

stop dying

sharp cairn
#

Duuh

lofty depot
#

silly

livid jay
#

probably a less running around more planting and casting angle

lofty depot
#

what are we running around for during cosmos?

livid jay
#

fun

sharp cairn
#

I mean, i rly gotta step up on dragons

livid jay
#

thats a 14 not a 4!

sharp cairn
#

well 4 compared to my ilevel.

livid jay
#

ah dont mind those

lofty depot
#

well u could be aevorn and not died

sharp cairn
#

at least on the logs i saw yesterday, but lol

lofty depot
#

and parsed lower

#

go make fun of that guy

sharp cairn
#

We are friends in my guild, lol we dont bash people xD

livid jay
lofty depot
#

hmmm has mythic staff

livid jay
#

do this to cut off before you died

lofty depot
#

and not 2 crafts

sharp cairn
lofty depot
#

is curious

sharp cairn
#

Well, 2 craft actually makes sense

#

Because i had staff, but got a myth trac and it simmed better so

#

But with my dumb dumb brain i did not include an other Craft

lofty depot
#

we saving incarn for next pull or

sharp cairn
#

ssssssh

livid jay
#

also you are way too ethical starsurging

sharp cairn
#

we dont talk about my logs in details

lofty depot
sharp cairn
#

i feel naked when you do

livid jay
#

theres plenty targets to starfall

lofty depot
#

lets get one thing straight

#

under no circumstance are u permitted to cast roar as the first global in incarn

#

that is banned

sharp cairn
#

Not when you need people to get around with silver arrow

lofty depot
#

u will be placed in the shadow realm if i see something as cursed as that again

sharp cairn
#

because they be to slow

lofty depot
#

nono

livid jay
#

their problem

lofty depot
#

u can cast it prior to incarn

sharp cairn
#

thats true enough

lofty depot
#

but yea also... u dont press incarn without trees

#

shouldve pressed it closer to pull

sharp cairn
#

but hey - hey -hey .

lofty depot
#

can hold trees for a little

sharp cairn
#

Dont deep dive my logs, im good i will improve

lofty depot
#

well u linked them

sharp cairn
#

Ye just to show my horrible parse

lofty depot
#

yea im gonna fix ur horrible parse

sharp cairn
#

i guess i shot my self in the leg on that one

lofty depot
sharp cairn
#

ima go smoke a ciggie while reading your torture advices T_T

lofty depot
#

u pressed incarn before it was done

#

and without trees again

#

what in the banned fuckery

sharp cairn
#

ssssh, dont think about it

livid jay
#

yea gotta sync those up

#

and boom 40 parse

sharp cairn
#

@livid jay thats one one u linked?

#

wowanalyzer or what it was

livid jay
#

yea thats your log put into wowanalyzer

#

breaks it down a bit

lofty depot
#

ok i go to sleep have fun

livid jay
#

gn

sharp cairn
#

gotta make sure to double dot u know

#

they stack

livid jay
#

yes

#

before you press incarn

#

😄

sharp cairn
#

should have casted 50

#

the wow alayzer looks good

livid jay
#

you only press incarn when you're ready to pump

#

and that means full ap, everything dotted, trees just pressed

sharp cairn
#

How come some logs show Solar eclipse at start of some fights with 99 parsed logs?

#

And how are parses measured? Is it just optimal damage?

livid jay
#

boomies werent completely sure about the best opener this season so a lot of people press eclipse before going incarn

lofty depot
#

Uhh, on cosmos mythic u do so cuz there's an amp when droplets die

livid jay
lofty depot
#

Heroic is kinda w.e.

#

Parses are just highest damage

sharp cairn
#

So the closest damage you get to a sim basically

royal zenith
lofty depot
#

No

royal zenith
#

just damage in general

lofty depot
#

The sim has nothing to do with it

loud kettle
#

its entirely based on how other players of your spec did damage wise on the fight

#

And where you fit in that

#

If there were 100 boomkin parses (you were the 100th parse), and you did the 10th most dps, youd get a 90

#

All stars points is similar, except it compares only to the rank 1 parse for that fight

sharp cairn
#

i see i see

#

The analyzer rly make things easier to look at tho, good overview ill deff use that to try and correct my plays

loud kettle
#

And its out of 120 for some reason

livid jay
#

but its definitely nice to see the basics

#

but it also doesnt tell you to sync your cd's

#

but u can see that u basically never pressed trees into incarn which u should always do

sharp cairn
#

Yeah

#

I have to put that one on my brain

#

You never hold incarn and trees for anything right? Just once they sync up?

livid jay
#

really depends on the fight if theres adds coming up or something

lofty depot
#

U can hold incarn at times

#

U don't need to press incarn right away

jade flume
sharp cairn
#

Adds die so quick tho, but im only doing heroic so

jade flume
#

so a 99% parse that is 90% of max is 99+20*0.9

lofty depot
#

Well ur not using incarn to kill droplets

sharp cairn
#

i guess you would hold it for cosmos into p3 change

livid jay
#

another helpful website

lofty depot
#

U press 2 times in p1

lofty depot
#

Hold the CD til p2, press 1 time in p2.. then 2 times in p3

#

All of which look like long holds

lofty depot
#

Ur not incarning for adds tho

#

Or rather thats not why ur pressing it

#

Adds can die fast and u still press incarn and sequence properly

sharp cairn
#

I think some times i legit just press incarn because i panic that i dont have an ecplipse up

#

Which, is a big nono

#

Bit its my first time ever playing balance, so im still derping in my retardin brain from last season.

royal zenith
#

trust me, you will be derping till the end of times

#

just look at @lofty depot

delicate perch
raven obsidian
#

Hello

#

anyone knows the macro for force of nature to have it directly on target

livid jay
#

#showtooltip
/cast [@cursor] Force of Nature

#

target doesnt work if i remember correctly

#

only cursor

raven obsidian
#

ah ok i dont like this macro to be honest

#

you can have your cursor not on target

livid jay
#

try replace @cursor with @target but i think it doesnt work

#

it doesnt really matter where you put your trees anyways

raven obsidian
#

will try

livid jay
#

unless u put them inside a pack that you are not supposed to pull in m+ xD

raven obsidian
#

who play trees in m+ ? 😄

livid jay
#

me

raven obsidian
#

ah ok :p

livid jay
#

way better in low keys

#

(10s and 12s)

raven obsidian
#

yeah

#

what are your talents for +10 and 12 then ?

livid jay
#

im playing this mostly

#

cause im too lazy to care for weaver procs which would be a bit better prio damage

#

apparently goldrin is bad aswell

#

can replace it with astral communion

#

but i like the AWOOOOO

deft crown
raven obsidian
#

i see i do agree that astral communion is better

#

but this is for low keys

livid jay
deft crown
#

yeah i wasnt trying to pad on adds, call was fuck your logs and kill the boss, so i tried to focus on that

livid jay
#

which is good if its about killing the boss on prog yes

#

not pressing a single starfall without weaver procs is a pretty big damage loss there tho

#

you also cancelled 11% of your casts which is too much

deft crown
#

i see thanks for the quick summary

livid jay
#

when you enter an eclipse, make sure you are actually ready for it (pooled astral power and dots already on target)

round field
#

unless you have a specific talent for it

#

like some specs do

#

(we dont)

royal zenith
#

but maybe placebo works it's magic

livid jay
#

feels better at least i think

royal zenith
#

there you go

#

I spam pit of sauron 10's for my weeklies, played both, didn't matter much for overall

#

what does matter is tank pulls and if the other players have hands

deft crown
livid jay
#

yes as long as you dont sit on 2/2 eclipse charges ready

deft crown
#

noted, thanks

livid jay
#

@jolly delta theres something wrong with formatting in single target keeper prio

#

indentation after force of nature usage

livid jay
livid jay
deft crown
# livid jay basically this tho

yeah i see sometimes i just panic that i am outside of eclipse and not doign enough dmg so i just press it but, now i see that i am doing even less dmg like that 😄

livid jay
#

yea thats probably a remnant of the old boomie mindset where u always needed to get into eclipse asap

#

but now that its actually a cooldown the mindest is slightly different

deft crown
#

yeah i guess just need a little bit of time to get used to it

flint drift
#

Do you all swap constantly per raid boss etc or do you tend to just play one version of the spec based on what you enjoy?

unkempt ore
#

You could probably get away with a fairly default keeper of the grove build, with kindling and incarn and it would be fine for most of the fights, but you'll lose some damage on fights where you dont need to extend dots

flint drift
#

That was my worry haha

raven obsidian
#

There is a new tuning class for 12.0.5 right ?

ruby badger
#

Except for LBV

#

u will become better player 👍

wraith dirge
#

Any suggestions as to what to craft tomorrow? I was thinking either Waist or Back

#

Or maybe shoulder

pallid bay
#

your character sheet looks absolutely awful

delicate perch
#

enc che mar encirin zul'jin's

pallid bay
#

you can craft waist and put a socket in it when your vault is shit

lofty depot
#

Could also cata shoulders and craft gloves

wraith dirge
#

I have it already

#

Just not using

lofty depot
#

That seems smart

delicate perch
#

I love vers

lofty depot
#

I mean even outside of the stats, it's just more ilvl

wraith dirge
#

I'm leaning towards shoulder because big int compared to the other slots

#

wait, its not higher lol

#

nvm

lofty depot
#

Gloves and shoulders are th same

#

And idk why u wouldn't wear it if u already had it

#

Essentially wasting crests and sparks

hushed jetty
#

Can confirm that there's a significant delay between leaving the raid instance and receiving non-looted currency.

#

idk how long but multiple hours minimum

wraith dirge
#

I meant I already have a hero tier shoulder, its just that current gear sims better

lofty depot
#

Early morning didn't see the wrist

#

But yea the stats are better cuz ur using gloves

#

Until u swap them and gloves are higher ilvl with better stats

#

Vers is beans

#

Pit neck should be better than ur current aswell

lofty depot
restive jolt
#

theres an option in nsrt for reminder to loot boss

hushed jetty
lofty depot
#

Well the other items do, ur personal items dont

#

Ie the crests

wraith dirge
#

I never considered that neck

hushed jetty
#

Nightmare prey hunts give champion gear and crests right?

Is it even worth the effort of unlocking if you dont need champion gear anymore?

split trail
#

I am trying to understand Balance druid better and I have some questions if anyone can help me:

1)in M+ as Elune's Chosen, if stellar amplification is a good talent choice, should we prefer starweaver to rattle the stars, since it will give us free starsurges on the main target as we spam starfall?
2)I'm having issues where I might not have Eclipses or Inarn in quite a few pulls and I'm not a huge fan of Astral Communion, and it seems it is the only talent i can really afford to lose. I'm thinking of Swapping it for Sculpt the stars to at least have some lower cds on eclipses. Is it a bad idea?
3)I know I should apply moonfire if the target will leave more than 6 seconds, but is there a number of mobs in which you should just press moonfire twice and switch to starfire? when the tank pulls a lot in keys and I know they will leave more than 6 seconds i apply moonfire 6 times and then by then time I properly join the fight the other dps are at 100k dps and I am trying to catch up...

lofty depot
#

Early gearing it's worth

#

It's how I geared my dh

#

Now it's w.e.

lofty depot
# split trail I am trying to understand Balance druid better and I have some questions if anyo...
  1. It's possible the prio damage is good
  2. I don't think 2s off ur eclipse charge does anything. Ur likely wasting uptime and or tank pulling like shit. There are times ur out of eclipse at the end of packs yes. But that's I learning the pulls and the tank knowing what they're doing.
  3. No because moonfire procs shooting stars and is also pretty big part of ur damage, having 2 dots be 10-15% of ur damage be good
hushed jetty
# lofty depot Depends if u have champ gear

I have like 3 or 4 champion pieces left to upgrade but I'm probably just going to try and get them all to hero in m+, unlocking nightmare prey would take a while not sure if it's worth it

lofty depot
#

Could just do ur delves

hushed jetty
#

To farm crests?

calm bough
#

To farm crests spam any key above 10 cap myth can trickle down

#

😌

hushed jetty
#

lol

#

So easy fr

calm bough
#

Jk but it’s what I do now

lofty depot
#

Can also drop hero item

hushed jetty
#

im doing like +6 rn

lofty depot
#

Think it's +8?

#

Maybe it's +11, idk

#

Or the beacon thing

hushed jetty
#

I think it's +9 for mythic crests

#

But +6 starts dropping hero gear

lofty depot
#

Hmm, wonder why I thought +8

jovial sundial
#

Probably because of delves

#

Oh wait thats what were talking about, the chart threw me off

fallow sparrow
#

guys, should i spend all AP inside eclipse, build AP then spend all? or should I only use spender if im about to cap AP?

lofty depot
#

Both of those can be true

#

If u do 15% more damage in eclipse, why would u want to dump asp outside of eclipse

fallow sparrow
#

thanks

lofty depot
#

And then the other is spending asp. Which is building starlord, not capping asp, and not munching procs

#

If you know a mechanic is coming ur pooling asp for the movement in case u get kt

#

Then u spend to move because those are the best globals both damage wise and moving effectively

#

Spam casting dots while moving is worse, casting nothing while moving is the worst

fallow sparrow
#

thanks, just thinking if I'm doing something wrong. I've just started doing +12s and I'm averaging 95-97k overall at end of keys. other classes are doing over 100k overall

lofty depot
#

100k not even that high tbf

craggy sonnet
#

i think generally speaking you want to always spend during ecl.
the earlier you do so (at least in the first 10s which you have boat value) the better technically, unless other factors like movement come into play like arctic said

fallow sparrow
#

cheers guys!

craggy sonnet
#

past that, you can consider other things like how far out is your next eclipse and does it make sense to not spend too aggressively in the last 5s of your ecl (during incarn you usually always spend even if it hampers your next ecl) so you can hit the next one earlier

#

and sometimes you may even want to actively spend outside if ecl if there is a large gap where you wont be able to and can build up starlord stacks and pool enough before your next eclipse is due

lofty depot
#

I think there's just more planning into it, there's plenty of pulls where I was doing a certain sequence then changing what I was doing at the end... Say if I was sending eclipse at the end and then not having for start of the next pack.

#

U just have to run dungeons and learn what shit needs

#

Just like any class with multiple CDs now

#

Assuming ur just slamming eclipse at the end of packs and not thinking about a future problem

#

Cuz that's generally what I've seen people do

fallow sparrow
#

doesn't make sense to use eclipse seconds before a pack dies

#

save it for the next pull

#

but yes I understand, need to learn more. Thanks!

lofty depot
#

It doesn't make sense yea, but people still do it

#

Happens when ur trying to learn

#

is there a specific reason why ppl sent CA back to back in paladin mythic ?
Or is it bcs in EC you dont need to allign with trees so you just sent ?

lofty depot
#

Well u don't play trees in ec

rough flax
#

yh i know

lofty depot
#

So u align it with foe

rough flax
#

So in EC you can just sent them back to back basically and only really need to hold if a mechanic/ objective requires it ?

lofty depot
#

Well again the thing u send it with is foe

#

And if played correct the CD is up at the end of ur first incarn

#

It's also up around the 3rd paladin is running back in

#

There's some easy timing stuff u can add in that no one is really doing yet

#

Assuming those people don't know the proper eclipse + incarn sequence

rough flax
#

what would that be ?

lofty depot
#

I will not be sharing my thoughts so I can rank 1

#

Is just eclipse sending

craggy sonnet

this b2b incarn thing

lofty depot
#

Well that's cuz ur doing it wrong 🙂

craggy sonnet
#

im not doing it at all tbf

lofty depot
#

Nice

#

Actually now that I think about it.... I think the timing isnt b2b

#

It's like 25-30 off that

craggy sonnet
#

this is like extreemely bad for ecl uptime

#

and i can tell you that sim doesnt like losing eclipses

#

so unless you have very good reason to do so

#

idk

lofty depot
#

Well the sim also sends eclipse prior to incarn and spends procs

#

Which most of those logs don't do

craggy sonnet
#

why are they not doing it

lofty depot
#

Cuz they haven't looked at a sim most likely

craggy sonnet
#

unlucky

lofty depot
#

Real

craggy sonnet
#

though all of them are also playing lunation i think?

#

im not even sure thats the play

lofty depot
#

U think the sim doesnt play lunation or

#

Silly goose

craggy sonnet
#

no clue what you are saying

#

anyone got any addon recommendation for eclipse? i used the one from tracked buff and tracked bar but i just still not seein it enough 🙁 really like the old WA where there's long icon on right and left side

lofty depot
#

Just make the icons bigger?

#

If ur looking at ur cast bar and or asp bar u should be able to look at an icon next to it with a counting down number surely

#

Muscle memory of looking down at certain locations and getting used to something new

#

Maybe go practice looking at it

#

LFR or target dummy

full shuttle
#

guess thats the only solution for now😔 yeah still not used to the new ui
okay then i just have to play more, thank u

slender island
#

also consider checking out twintops resource bar, it colors the ap bar according to your eclipse and puts a timer on it, that's what's worked out the best for me in ecl tracking

proper mica
#

Which specs are yall liking for raid? The incarnation build or convoke?

lofty depot
#

Incarn mostly

#

Think I haven't played convoke since heroic 2nd week

#

Think we play convoke on m belo

clever heart
#

How is it with great vault?
If i kill cosmos once in the season, is it possible for her loot table to come in the great vault for the rest of the season, even i just kill first 4 bosses for the rest of the season?

jaunty blaze
#

Yes

clever heart
#

Where can i find information about this?

lofty depot
#

Idk was changed in DF when everyone was only killing first 2 and last 2 on alts

#

Probably just Google wowhead great vault changes

charred mango
#

ya killing any boss adds the loot of it + all bosses below it to your possible vault loot table for the rest of the season

proper mica
#

Is it still the same stat priority for incarn? I have been playing convoke this whole time but see every 1 at the top playing incarn

dense steeple
#

Can confirm i was an abuser to cause this change

#

I had a warrior in SL that only ever killed 2 bosses in SFO

#

Every week my lootoptions were first boss or jailer

#

I was grinding for big gavels

lofty depot
#

This tier kind a weird cuz Crit is good

proper mica
#

Ahhh copy ty. I like convoke because of the huge burst on CDs so was just trying to figure out how it plays

lofty depot
#

Incarn gives u a bit more fluidity with ur cds

#

Granted some face trouble with it

proper mica
#

I would assume you have to make sure you have incarn up for every fury of elune.

#

Weird to use that in ST for sure

lofty depot
#

Not necessarily

#

The st sim sends foe before the 2nd incarn so it can line up with 3/4/5 incarns

proper mica
#

Ohh ty

lofty depot
#

In practical boss fights u sometimes save incarn anyway

proper mica
#

I’ll give it a shot next week for raiding

#

I hope they eventually buff moons back to good. I love the visuals

lofty depot
#

U can get that visual with convoke and or it breaker

#

When moons was buffed to be competitive with foe, no one liked it

#

Maybe it's better now, but shrug

hushed jetty
#

This is worth it right?

lofty depot
#

Sim it?

hushed jetty
lofty depot

Granted if u don't have tier, yes it's just always worth it

There is no harm in catalyzing those no

lofty depot
#

What don't u understand?

lucid olive
#

He doesn't know what simming is

hushed jetty
#

I think I got it

lucid olive
#

Nostra very very new

hushed jetty
#

Moonkin mentioned some simulators a few days ago

#

but I haven't gotten around to experimenting with those

lucid olive
hushed jetty
#

It's a lot to take in at once haha

lofty depot
#

Simulators 👀

lucid olive
#

It's a good tool to see what items are upgrades

lucid olive
hushed jetty
#

These set pieces they always give the same stats right? There's no way to get it in haste/mastery rather than crit/mastery

lucid olive
#

Yeah

hushed jetty
#

oke thanks

#

So getting my 2 piece should be a big step right?

#

I already have pants

lucid olive
#

Yes

hushed jetty
#

Sweet

#

Where do these catalyst mats come form? I had 2 when I finished leveling but I don't think I've gotten any more

lucid olive
#

You get one every 2 weeks I think

lofty depot
#

1 from world soul quest aswell

lucid olive
#

And then you get one extra from getting 2000 m+ score (or 2500?)

#

When you get 4set you also start randomly gaining catalyst charges from dungeons and raid bosses

lucid olive
#

Cause in the past it has been like a "oh I could catalyst these Veteran pants to finish 4set but then it's still on Veteran!" dilemma

#

So just letting you keep accruing charges after you've finished the 4set helped with that

lofty depot
#

Now I can cata off pieces freely

hushed jetty
#

thats good, I was regretting using it on my champion pants when I didn't know what it was

lofty depot
#

Getting 4pc most jnport

#

Then u can farm out hero items and cata those

#

U'll also have enough free cata charges next week to get 4p

hushed jetty
#

which items are the other pieces? I have chest and legs

lofty depot
#

Not gloves

lofty depot
#

Right now it's not even for me

hushed jetty
lucid olive
#

Are the tier set items

hushed jetty
lucid olive
#

Since you only need 4 pieces to finish the set that means you usually skip out on the item that has the worst stats and use the other 4

#

Which is usually Gloves this season

bleak junco
#

Question is there any special techniques that druids can do for the last boss of Sky reach to save ourselves from being dropped off the ledge? I thought cat form wild charge would work but it didn’t

warm briar
#

Rest of the group paying attention

#

You can use ursol’s to yeet it back to where it picked you up. Not sure if typhoon works or not but most CC will work. Best being stuns, then you can snare/rop as well if you have a monk

bleak junco
#

There’s no self saving measures after the point of no return like demon hunters etc though?

#

I was thinking flapping or some kind of wild charge but nothing worked so far

round field
#

just hit the add..

lucid olive
#

Regular Disengage works for Hunter

bleak junco

OK thanks

How are we simming for M+ these days?

you're not. not yet but maybe soon(tm)

polar tapir

Do you just run a few sims on 1, 2, 5 targets and average it out?

normal pilot

if it makes you feel better but that's just vibing

I guess it feels a bit better than yoloing a trinket or two 😃

But 6-7 has been the sweetspot

hasty karma

maybe a stupid question, but i’m away from my gaming rig and can’t check it myself. the starsurge/starfall cost reduction from elune’s guidance, if you chose incarn - is that only when you are in incarn or all the time?

Ah yeah im balance so ive been airing on the side of caution

I am building my char for DPS still but playing healer to gear up

hi all, i wanted to get the BIS gear list from simcraft for my guildie, then saw there isnt one up for balance, is it fine to follow the wowhead list?

sure those lists are all fake anyways. w/e lets you move on from wasting time and get back into playing the game

twilit bone
#

does shooting stars deal more dps inside an eclipse?

lucid olive
#

yes

craggy sonnet
#

ofc

#

they benefit from either/both eclipse bonuses

Anyone know if its still a true story that convoke wants to stay out of melee range to optimize damage?

twilit bone

aight tytyty

Oh actually?

Dang

maybe in Shadowlands

drifting nova

you wanted to be in melee

normal pilot

yes listen to kekkers

drifting nova
#

WHAT

#

I'M RIGHT

lofty depot
#

Actually being in melee range was a benefit for a bit

lucid olive

it was marginably better to be in melee some time yes

lofty depot
#

When u couldn't proc 3rd dot and thrash did it for u

drifting nova

for the wane debuff

prisma jay
drifting nova
#

shaking my head smh

lucid olive
#

well, the feral/resto spells come out of the same pool

royal zenith
#

kiddie pool or what?!

lucid olive
#

so standing in melee would make it feral spell and standing range would make it rejuv

lofty depot
craggy sonnet
#

dont the feral spells count towards your offspec bucket? so technically no harm in getting those, right?

#

ye ok

lucid olive
#

just doesnt matter much anymore since standing range = regrowth = blooming infusion

thank you lmfao

Worried that might be the case. Fair enough, I'll use my eyes. Although, it looks like stuff shouldn't fall off much...Or am I wrong there?

they don't fall off if you re-apply

if you use the starfll one, no

This is my last piece of veteran gear, if I craft wrists to replace them do I get the ability to transform veteran crests into champion crests?

lofty depot

If they're all upgraded to max vet yes

hushed jetty

all my other gear is champion or hero

eager raft

Then yes

lofty depot
#

It would be level 2 in champ track on all pieces I think

#

Cuz 2/6 champ is 6/6 vet

hushed jetty

oh so I don't even need to replace this piece?

#

i just need to upgrade my 1/6s to 2/6s

lofty depot

Ye, which u can save crests if upgrade vet items rather than the champ ones

#

But just saves u time farming crests now

hushed jetty

I see I see

I only have 1 champion gear that is 1/6 all others are 2/6+ so its going to be easy then

red nymph
#

the fuck does this even mean? should a boss not count toward all star? how about they just remove add damage from log?

round field
#

nothing new

#

theyve been doing it forever in pad fights

lofty depot
#

That's toxic

round field
#

it does not concern me

#

therefore i will vote yes

lofty depot
#

Ahhhh

#

Stop thag

#

(it's getting removed regardless) everyone always votes yes to all of it

#

Every mass aoeing cleave fight gets nuked

red nymph
#

i mean in the same survey they asked if the voidlings from crown, and the orbs from salad bar(that dont die) should be removed from logs. but they cant do the same for dragons? they just remove the allstar all together?

#

am i misisng something?

lofty depot
#

Well they didn't say remove void orbs

#

They said remove the fight

#

If they remove void orbs from the fight then people stop aoeing

red nymph
#

on salad? they said remove the damage from orbs that dont die

lofty depot
#

Because it doesn't help their parse

#

Yes at the end of the fight when u could be killing. Boss, but instead spam starfall while everyone else kills boss

#

Ur padding and they're not

red nymph
#

regardless, why is this the option and not just have the add padding removed from dragons?

lofty depot
#

Well reread what I said

red nymph
#

what you said made no sense

#

yoiu said they are removing saladbar

lofty depot
red nymph
lofty depot
#

Yes those are the dragon ball shit

red nymph
#

on saladbar they are adjusting the logs to not show pad damage on orbs that dont die. On crown, they are adjusting logs to not show voidling damage from p1

#

that is literally no different then dragon adds

#

but their solution for dragon is remove the entire log

lofty depot
#

It is different

red nymph
#

not at all

lofty depot
#

There's like 10 sets of orbs on dragons u kill

red nymph
#

just remove the add cheese that skews the logs

#

remove them from logs

lofty depot
#

So people stop aoeing?

#

And then wipe a bunch

hasty mirage
#

yea the corollary to saladbar is only dont count the orbs if they are alive when you kill right?

lofty depot
#

Yes

red nymph
#

you still have to kill them or you dont kill boss and cant parse anyways

ruby tide
#

For raid, is elune good? I hate playing force of nature, and keepers has to use that talent

lofty depot
red nymph
#

but if they are skewing the logs, just remove them from the logs?

#

just like orbs

#

just like voidlings on crown

lofty depot
#

They aren't removing the orbs from saladbar

red nymph
#

theyre all mechanics you have to do regardless

#

the ones that dont die they are

lofty depot
#

The void orbs are less than 40 mobs

red nymph
#

IE excess aoe cheese thats skewing logs

hasty mirage
#

great then whole raid is specced for full 2 target cleave and the adds never die until the guild votes on the scrub that has to do the aoe pad and cant parse

lofty depot
#

The void orbs spawn 40 mobs in 1 minute

red nymph
#

so remove them from the logs

#

?

ruby tide
lofty depot
#

Casting Starfire while doing. Mechanics is unfun

maiden pasture
#

when they removed rashanan small adds from all stars

lofty depot
#

He doesn't understand the degeneracy that happens

red nymph
#

they have done it many times in the past with similar cheese mobs

and people started just not hitting them and guilds wiped to it

That doesn't answer the questions presented

#

Please try again

eager raft
maiden pasture

U don't need to show results cuz everyone votes yes regardless cuz they think them not being able to pad isn't a skill issue

#

yes i am

#

it isnt

eager raft
#

I insta slam no on all those wcl polls

lofty depot
#

Based respectable

#

1 of 12 people prob

eager raft
#

Their 35 might become a 40 if those padders aren’t padding

#

Real ones sort by boss damage anyway GlorpClassic

lofty depot
#

I r1'd on fight and boss dam, so is that really a problem

#

Starfall on 2t wow so hard

eager raft
#

Yeah we’ll ignore the 100k dps to void orbs

#

I’m not good enough at my class to get decent ranks whether they remove stuff or not

#

Oh I actually didn’t read this one

#

I change my vote to yes

#

Should do the same with imperator adds that don’t die

royal zenith
#

remove the dragons

eager raft
#

Like entirely???

#

I do think removing it entirely would be healthier than just removing the adds

royal zenith
#

yeah sure why not

#

who cares

eager raft
#

definitely not you

#

Caring is so lame

#

And you’re nonchalant

royal zenith
#

nah it's more that

#

people will go out of their way to make dragon boss the most optimal pad-fest

#

like legit will tell others to NOT touch voidorbs

#

it's genuinely not fun to parse that way

#

for anyone

#

except ones that have the ability to chokehold their group

lofty depot
#

Go look at the top log

#

Lol

red nymph
#

exaclty. just remove the damage to adds

eager raft
#

I don’t need to look to know it’s a Chinese guy who paid everyone to let him do all the add damage

lofty depot
#

It's not china

eager raft
#

Removing damage to adds means no one kills them

royal zenith
#

it's clecia

#

jk, I dunno current rank

eager raft
#

And then the fight is miserable

#

Either remove the entire fight or remove nothing

royal zenith
#

well it's also just the 4th boss of the raid

#

drops the best trinket in the game

#

people will want to kill it

#

but adding it to allstars will make it cringe for reclear

lofty depot
#

Oh it is china man

#

Unforch

royal zenith
#

I dunno, my list goes on of just

#

deleting it

for the sake of more fun in the game

is there a way to make a macro to cast heart of the wild and then shift instantly back into moonkin form?

U should play fluid form and cast wrath

wasnt worm-boss also removed from allstars?

#

I dont recall

lofty depot
#

Yes

#

As was stix

royal zenith
#

similar situation imo

eager raft
#

worm boss was way more degenerate

lofty depot
#

Yea, the adds need to die but won't if they stop aoeing

eager raft
#

People purposely getting infested to spawn more adds

lofty depot
#

So u just remove it and doesnt matter

grave agate
eager raft
#

yeah you 100% gotta just remove the entire fight if you’re removing the adds

lofty depot
#

Stix u could leave the dogs up and not eat them so u could parse

eager raft
#

Either all or nothing

lofty depot
#

Rather than have the balls pick them up and bring to melee

royal zenith
#

you can bruteforce anything on these type of bosses

#

just heal through the orbs

royal zenith
#

keep them alive forever etc.
