Well it could've deleted that
i just gave em to the AI and said what features to keep from each
I'm not gonna share it publicly and it's just for my own use
Mmhm mmhm
- I showed it to Norsken and he replied with a pog emote
so think I'm fine from an ethical standpoint
yeah, i mean. idc .. why wouldnt you.
the Bench Alert module is kinda funny
if you're in a raid outside of combat and get moved to group 8 it just spawns big text telling you to hearthstone
get the F outta here
there's a box to change the text yeah
last thing I added was icon to show that I'm in combat and not in Moonkin Form
i know the BuffReminders addon can do that but enabling that addon to show in combat lost me frames
btw .. would this line up if you gave it a 1px gap from your player frame?

unplayable
right?
yeah
not something i rly care much about
the 1px gap not a bad idea tho
everything else has a 1px gap so might as well for the defensives as well
yee
I've been looking at changing out CDM addon soon, but waiting for a few more weeks until SkironCDM has some more downloads
man i still need desaturated dots
ayije does that or
is skiron doing anything better?
why is cdm such a piece of garbage
doesnt rely on the CDM afaik
fully custom
should check out the alpha branch of it
i know LuckyOne has been swapping everything over to it, can probably go look at his stream from last couple of days to see how the menu looks and stuff
you mean it doesnt need the tracking from cdm?
something like that yeah
i thought thats not possible
I think you can make Buff Icons to show up in your Essential bar with CDs as well
idk how Skiron does it but it looks sick
(as in you can hide the cdm but you need the tracking info from it)
made by Permok
method analyst and weakaura addon guy
how could there be no picture on the CF page tho
i dont see an alpha branch on CF
and its had release versions for 3 months
(seen it around during release)
but yeah
im not using curseforge addon manager, i looked on the site
this is a stable release version
can't wait for blizz to break all these in 12.1
was just wondering if there was another branch hidden on some other platform
no clue
i use WoWUp and since it includes other platforms than just curseforge then i have 0 idea what is pulled from where
but 1.5.18 is the same version so shouldnt matter
but that addon has been getting like 5-6 updates a day recently
eqol also been adding a lot of stuff (but i know you dont like the config for that)
yeah that addon looks terrible
but it can do like 10000 different things
i think it's cool that it can let you create custom texture overlays, or use in-game ones and make custom triggers for it
but i have spell overlays perma disabled anyway
ye. i'll probably try out both again to rebuild my cdm at some point
anything you are unhappy about with aijye? or just swapping to try something new
not committed to swapping yet, just trying diff stuff out constantly
but so far Skiron has the edge in that I can hide cooldowns while ready
previously I've used m33kauras to have soothe/innervate/dispel on an anchor below my player frame to only show them while they're on cooldown and hide when available
but can do that natty in this
How common is it to overcap astral power on vaelgor when you're popping mushrooms?
U shouldve pressed Starfall likely prior to doing that
it's common but not good
you might go looking at other peoples logs who did better than you and see them overcap, but that doesn't make it good
Most people aren't pre incarning the orb drop, so I can assume they're not sequencing the next 5 presses correctly either
200 astral power when
U can effectively have 200 asp
My vaelgor is shit but I think it's because I'm trying to copy people using multiple blood dks
Without blood DK I imagine it's a little different
you can do more damage without a mass grip
Well that also implies ur pressing ur buttons correctl
Explain
Mass grip gets all the mobs together on same pixel
So all the other specs can hit it
So they die quicker
If they're perma spread without a mass grip then your Starfall will still hit all of them all the time and they live longer since other classes can't
Can also put mushrooms in the middle of the spread and have them hit basically all of them anyway
If mobs are stacked people with small aoe do damage
I think my mistake is sending all 3 mushrooms at once
I should just send one every add phase
I think ur mistake is not pressing starfall
Sending all 3 on the orbs is good
Now you sound like everyone in my guild
I think ur mistake is likely to do with CD presses or sequencing

Your guild is right
I know I know
Mushrooms ignite as well so using all 3 at the same time is equal to using them one by one
There is a real good gap. But it could be bigger
Show log
You use one on pull and then dump during Voidorbs after that
oh yeah??
Let me see if I can find it on mobile.
3 hours @pseudo merlin
Hey maybe a dumb question, what's the reason we press FOE after lunar? Is it just because of the half GCD, where as with Incarn off GCD and can go straight into starfalling?
I heard 0.5 is full dive
We press foe before eclipse actually
whens that poe thing
Gotcha, I've been doing that but just wanted to verify after taking a peek again at the guide

Thanks
what does that mean
Going into some Belo'Ren mythic prog today been looking a bit around for talents but seeing a lot of different builds, some run meteorites some don't and some are EC but most are Keeper what's the "agreed on" build that's best for general prog for 500 ish WR guilds?
There's no agreed apon build
^
try out whatever works for you
Hence why it was in quotation marks
You'll have about 100 pulls to test stuff anyway
I'd assume most people getting their now will have better results with keeper
I Love Metallica
Well those quotation marks lack understanding.
same
Actually I take it back, intermission 1 can be like 30% hp so you're bound to 2 phase with time left
focus on killing those birds after intermission 1
We try some Meteorites tonight then
second bird set after int1 is big painpoint
it's an extremely dumb comment from your side btw @lofty depot
person asks question cause of lack of understanding
-> YOU HAVE A LACK OF UNDERSTANDING!

xD
Well yea that's the u don't know what u don't know part
Get off ur high horse rat
There's no Top Marks for you totday
"hey doctor I feel bad and sick"
IT seems you are SICK!!

I need to waste 3 hours of my life
waiting for poe
i hope they start actually fighting and slinging slurs
I will make arctic's life miserable..
Arctic been stating the obvious for years smh, not gonna change now
Hey mod deux is a "stupid bitch"
pleonasm!!
How am I getting flack for funny quotations when person thought the quotations would help
no jk arctic, I just wanted to flame you for fun
Fuck kff
and to protecc umbreon
No protec
No attac
But most importantly
No one got your bac
Is there any "perfect" amount of haste for current state of balance druid in raid?
Infact u don't want as much as u think
Gonna use recklessness to get negative haste then post it
you can't get negative haste from recklessness
idk if mastery has been the goto stat since like legion or
arctic making thigns up again smh
never really paid attention to chicken from legion to like bfa
only mastery iteration I vibe with is cata
they didn't add negative value entries to the ratings DR table
dont even know what balance mastery was back then
It could say 0 tho?
ya you just get 0 ratings. you can't go negative
before DR you could go negative, and you'd start eating into you stat buffs like starlord
You are appreciated for that
๐ค
0 vers gaming (except silly sockey for meta)
If u use reckless and have vantus, do u use that vers or
vantus is not rating
Yes it is
or?
It says 270 vers
Not 5%
if vers is bad, then why does vantus give me 5k extra damage
Mmhm mmhm
explain??
just right click cancel the debuff
true
Actually never checked when it gives the vers
cancelaura macro that shit away
ok, dont use recklessness with vantus ๐
If I dont want to take w ild mushrooms on dragons, what should i swap it with? just the other talent in that same row?
Depends what other talents ur currently not using
I basically just ripped the top log off archon
and swapped the mushroom row, but idk if thats actually what I should be doing for that boss, the ads dont live that long in my raid
okay thank you!
Think people over estimate how much other people do
I had double bdk and 3 devs. If I can beat them, so can u
Skill diffy
uhu
Mmhm mmhm
I think that it's the right attitude to spec into more boss damage if voidorbs die fast enough
not the other way around ๐ฅน
@jolly delta log on, we go voidspire 3/6 mythic
it's a trap
not a trap im making group
lets help my g miik
you cant
He's an m+er don't trust him
They told me I could come on my mage
me and bramblers are coming
I was just reading the wowhead guide and it said to use free procs on starfall instead of starsurge for single target, the tooltip shows starfall doing less single target than starsurge, does anyone know why it's better to starfall?
perfect
but
dont keep the guy in limbo vinter..
please for the love of god do your best to sniff out shitters that will leave after 2nd boss
yes or no..
There's talents that proc other things. It's not about tooltips
i really want to kill salhadaar
we've checked everyone's logs

not a person in there (other than you kek) that hasnt killed sal
its fine with people who have killed
yeah fair
ok im coming, calling bramblers as well
or boosters 
@jolly delta log on big bro
he should be finishing dinner rn
hopefully it doesnt take 20m otherwise we go without him
im logged in bro
Giga easy, move the boss. Very hard
only the tanks need to do something
Well I wouldn't consider a tank that can't read the room and not move the boss "human"
in before you have 10 wipes cause of nobody wanting to interrupt
this
melee ignoring interrupts to pad on small orbs
does anyone know what this talent is under for logs?
Surge

Click the arrow silly
tyty
and considering that miik is tanking
good luck
i have full trust in our group to kill
this guy kills bosses
i'd wear the l'ura one but im not raiding anymore kek
yooo I'm gonna get sark
i didnt do tww but if i went for mog i'd prob wear dimensius
all are cringe
sarkareth is based!

exactly, that's why
Boss was badass
was bad & ass more like
i liked sark
and it also felt story driven
unlike gally
like the encounter felt right
not forced
The downstairs stuff was fun
yeah and the patchwerk boss was a bit too easy
an easy patchwerk fight though is like ehh who cares
most raids have them its not a big deal
zskarn was the sin that tainted the tier
I want the hard wall patchwork fights
yeah but it was like what, 3rd last?
Smoldy was fun
the one with the platform, forgot its name
Magmorax was the shit one
Rashok was the waves one
rashok was epic
Yea tales of 2 types of st bosses
rashok was making my raid int it was so tilting
One was sick one was ass
our healers just going oom 75% thru the fight and we couldnt limp over finish line
turned out
our tank refused to dodge waves

so he spent the first 75% of the fight eating the healer mana
hitting multiple waves on every fucking waves set
and after we threatened to kick him for it we killed it in 1 pull
???? CRAZY
turns out doing mechanics will kill bosses
i was so mad man
Somadloria
based
How long are you holding fury for if CA is about to come up? 10 seconds? 5?
Assuming ur playing keeper in raid, the 2nd foe needs to be sent on CD, so it lines up with 3m and 4m timings
If ur talking about ec m+, depends on context of the pull
@royal zenith got vinter his saladbar kill ez
whats doing more single target dps rn this or feral?
what context
St context
raid boss
If u have 20% down time....how could it be better
I don't know what that means, as in, the top logging ferals just have 20% downtime?
Ye
Idk how to play feral
whats downtime
But I was told "duh u'll lose damage when ur not pressing buttons"
not pressing buttons basically
how do you see actual uptime
and what's actual good uptime
for fearl
Well wowanalyzer
But belo has downtime regardless cuz of the hold
So it's more looking at other fights :/
mhm
do not

Mmhm mmhm
hey guys, since i know some of you are adorable and helped me in the past to improve as a boomie, it happens that a friend of mine is in the same situation as i was but since i stopped playing boomie before all the rework thing into midnight, i was wondering if anyone had time to check her logs that she sent me please :) https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/ApFPyrxKd4NL8J2G?fight=last&type=casts&source=4&view=timeline that's would be lovely <3
Didn't Sunfire
Pressed foe in ca instead of prior
Playing convoke on aoe boss
Pressed convoke with 2s left on trees
Which means half of it did 24% less dam
Nvm Sunfires on pull tick
Should Sunfire after moonfire not before
(it's lower duration
probably wanna play EC on paladins
U solar on 3t tho on keeper
big thanks guys, you are so goated ! <3
Isn't it
dont think so
you starfire and enter lunar on 3+
unless i messed up. but i recently tested that (and proposed some fixes)

wasnt commited yet

Idk I wrath in keeper
need to apply the same logic to the opener
Cba pressing starfire outside of instant
Afk for 5 seconds
Trees before ca
Dot before ca
Hmm
He grabbed th wowhead convoke 1m build
Down with wowhead
wdym by that btw ? foe should be cast instant or ?
FoE -> Trees -> Incarn
yeah... it's painful to look at this ngl :)
you want to spend good gcd's in incarn
So all your GCDs inside Incarn are your hard hitting abilities like Starsurge
Should be cast before trees yes
quick, need aoe talent string
ookay i see
Uhhh
with keeper
talents=CYGAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWoMbNjxMD8AmtZmZmBDzY2mZZsNjZmNWmxYmZYBDAGLbzMLLzsNbz0MzyMBAAAYjZegZGsZMjxMAmZwMDMA
thx
Isn't ak get mad
just remember to use the same wordin in commit message as previous ones
with [Balance] in front
since it gets auto shipped to SimC github with ur message
Oof
I know the general advice of "vers bad, the rest good" and "sim yourself"
I'm planning to craft some gems in advance, is there something I can 'safely'
i.e. make a mast-haste gem or a haste-crit gem knowing 100% I would get use out of them?
does the diamond change at all or is one always better? either max main stat or main stat + crit dmg I guess?
do we optimize the gem colours, i.e. gem both haste-crit and crit-haste or do we just go max stats usually?
hopefully the questions makes a litle bit of sense and won't just be "wait until u get the gear and sim then" :P
Gonna label them all as feral
Diamond gem changes with 5+ sockets
Crit master good
But u need 5 colors for Crit gem
And yeah opting for anything with either crit or mastery on it is probably safe
4 colors
5 sockets
need a socket for the gem
Yea surr
yem
Yeah I'm referring to EC m+ here. Assuming the pull isn't about to end, what's a good rule of thumb for how much time CA would have to have for you to just send the fury?
Currently, I'm defaulting to if CA is coming up within 10 seconds, I'll hold otherwise send
but idk if that's spewing too much value
Well the whole duration
No point sending CA on a half dead pack
do we know that's always optimal at 5 gems? or would u depending on other gear be better off with diamond + crit-mast + mast-crit gems and ignore the other 2?
maybe if you had super low crit
Well I'm not simming shit gear but assume it's shit if ur heavy haste/mastery
That's why u sim it tho
And no, u need at least 4 of the diff color'd gems for it to be better
@dull dust why are we going into incarn with 0 ap? 
gain so much ap in aoe it doesnt matter?

oh i see
at least now i know why i didnt notice the opener
Maybe it has a proc still
Make it use free Starfire while ur at it
wasnt the old condition we were messing with like 40 asp - procs
Can't remember
chancel, please fix
can take the latest apl i posted
idk how you wanted it to be used
need to add Starfall with Cosmos stuff for EC_ST as well
trusting a mage to do druid sims smh
i was gonna do it before commiting the APL but havent had time or will to do it
Stop making ec_st better
still convinced st ec doesnt exist
oh you can see ec st in full force from me .. no worries
I will not be seeing that anymore
aoe opener
not the ap condition
He put it in the current apl channel
But didn't add the ap.conditio
is there a script or addon that removes the clutter on screen when pressing starfall?
not rly other than tweaking graphic settings
will always be some effects on starfall
have to get used to it
Ur gonna want to not turn off particle density
not off. just lowered
Turn down not off sure
btw this shit only worth like .4% on 3t
builders so weak for keeper
Maybe you're just weak
That's big
0 = worth
Oh
I still cant get a 10
Lies I've seen you in arms discord
Bruh
and keys as dps are cursed
This late into the season?
you are also seeing him in here
What you even doing mr kekkers
at this point 1 key a week
Ye play the boomkin sir
10 compression is on which doesnt help
surely the tank issue gets solved next patch

What tank issue
they dont exist
But they do

Reroll bear
Ez fix
Offspec it
no

-500
just wait til season 2 comes around
how do I check a person's uptime on for example orbs in salhadar on warcraftlogs
wdym
I want to check the uptime of someone hitting an orb on salhadar
the enduring void
What does uptime mean in this case
If a balance druid is pressing starfall as soon as orbs spawn they'll have 100% uptime on them
assuming they keep pressing their buttons
Damn poe 2 0.5 is insane
If you wanna see who's doing the most damage to them just go to damage done then pick the specific add set you wanna see
@royal zenith where can I watch the ggg stuff
uhhh not sure
trailer is live at least
but the full reveal is like 1 hour and 10 minutes

every mechanic has been reworked, completely
atlas reworked, compeltely
I dunno just watch it
damn

search for a restream on yt
like some rando?
@zealous glen
hey
why r u here
Im a druid..
and a monk..
liiiiesss
im playing ret lmao
bro
ww is so shit to play rn
the playstyle is so bad right now and they cant survive in raid
yeh... my buddy also didnt like it
i just hate the direction it went to
thought it was a lot more boring etc.
sounds familiar 
found a rebroacast
holy shit
ritual rework better be good
i love ritual
oh finally real monk
all of the mechanics allow you to actually like discover shit and I dunno
looked fun
ye
release when
and whens that
cant escape it
๐ฉ
ok so expedition is still shit
Wait expedition modifiers from every flag you bomb stack/carry over to the next bomb monsters
I genuinely thought that's how it has worked all this time

surely you're not gonna describe every 2 minutes
tettles will ban us
too much poe!!
(I thought expedition looked fun, wait till you see the new Lost Ark...)
289 emberwing feather sims lower than 263 Gaze of the Alnseer... i hate this game
there will never be good trinket balance though
well there can be
there won't be.. >:)
need to throw more items at it
but by now you should know better that blizz can't do it
blizz made it pretty clear last 2 xpacs that if u dont raid u arnt getting good trinkets
shit ass company
which is even funnier given its the only reason to raid for loot
without trinkets raid dies in a ball of fire
i think personally id never raid if there wasnt good loot
at least
but ik thats a controversal topic
raid for ranks
i agree mythic+ should drop BIS trinkets (and also have a weekly lockout)
idk if that's controversial
solved with the rerolls gamz
maybe to some niche corner of the internet
Every dungeon has weekly lockout
why wouldn't you raid for loot
no its not
wym
fuckton of people play wow for the gearing part
raid needs a massive difficulty overhaul
feelsgood
gamz do u run splits
he does
yeah ok
if you dont have access to a raid group / splits, gearing is pretty ass
especially if you want the highest ilvl shit
the reroll system helps a ton with dungeon items
yee
sure tis not perfect
but raiding normally u can not see a trinket for months if ur spec sucks
how is it solved
u can deterministicly get a trinket after like 3 weeks
that's a choice though
to cannibalise an entire difficulty?
sure but i am still forced to do minigame content that i don't enjoy in order to be stronger for the content that i do enjoy
or does it only count other way around when its the minigamers forced to raid
and not vice versa
I do hope one day M+ and Raid get a PVP like separation between the two
pretty much every raid post df s2 I did 10s earlier and earlier than aotc
comparing the 2 as blizz does is a massive meme
i don't, i think that's very stupid solution
both can be true
please no
but the reroll also helps raid
I don't think that has to do with difficulty though
so i dont see the problem
cause hc first week aint all that bad to reach, if you have a raid group...
u can just tune trinkets better idk
heroic (rightly or wrongly) is a forgotten area
raid roll costing two tokens fucking sucks
yeah that i agree on
thats stupid af
i think that's fine
i think hero trinket shouldnt beat a myth trinket in any scenario
smaller pool of items to choose from so it makes sense
ive been gaze rolling on hunter/druid for ages
then i go to druid #2 and just turbo roll nexus points
sheeptwo is same ilvl as sheepone now

why hero vaelgors and aln is better then every myth dungeon trinket is just lazy tuning
disagree, i think variety is good in that regards
or forced tuning
on how it depends on spec
makes sense it just feels shit man
probably forced tuning
wouldnt be surprised if even champ gaze wins
they know vaelgor's has been this strong for a while now
it probably does
the cynic screams inept tuning
and gaze
my rogue rn the world trinket beats all the dungeon trinkets

is that fine guys?
which world trinket
champ>myth
the Crucible?
yea
in Crucible's case I think it's fine
if you think it's fine, it is 
that trinket will stay in season 1 and not scale up

isnt part of that issue also the dungeon pool..being not great lootwise
the spread on dungeons has almost always been sus
it's a trinket from a quest, we had those in TWW as well and never saw them again
chancel we had a 20 ilvl lower bell trinket in the times of nathria
not really kekkers
- the delve loot pool changes each season too (see Energy Drink from Season 2 as example)
and I highly doubt it beats# the AA one
this crucible is child's play
even my dumb arse managed to get a proc on it
all hail the bell
I think that if the end goal is to have balance between items from raid and from m+
thats just lazy tuning idk
oh, thought it was just bis for melee so
easy
why limit the items from m+
m+ is infinitely farmable loot
They didn't make the azmeri spirit fast..
thats what i mean
if you want to balance them
right now they're not balanced
they never showcase shit properly, lets be honest
the solution thatl never happen is myth from dungeons
im fine with the hero items being less obtainable
but itd have to be like 20s
uhm we have bonus rolls
already happened
..
make the race guys make more mirrors

hey gotta be specific
and you have vault
good
wtf!
theres a very real hero crest void atm
cool
do you mean with regards to hc raid?
there's not a hero crest void..
you just dont want to do content that awards it
no in general
the primary source
doesnt full hc raid award you like 100 crests
the side effect of the season being too easy
but it doesnt really matter for mythic if you can "farm" a good hc trinket from m+
is less hero keys
more than that i think
ngl i would be a big fan of making dungeons 3 hero items cap a week it would limit the degens week 1-2
you can reach cap by just doing raid, I dunno
if you reach cap in m+ with myth crest, you get heroic
I think you just dont play the game kekkers
which is fine..
m+ is boring content
the same way m+ enjoyers are forced to raid for gear, raiders are also forced to m+ for gear
sure. but you do it anyway start of season
and the time raiders spend in m+ is more than the time m+ers spend in raid
that is unchanged by better trinket tuning
before theyre done gearing
thats why i said the only way to balance the two is to limit m+ loot
is that true tho
3 ITEMS
delves also give heroic crests I believe, kekkers
so now im just gonna degen which dungeons i do
you're legit just not playing the game
exlusively? probably
no it's anecdotal as hell 
classic "please just give me my loot for free" syndrom..
because if i want myth items im forced to prog the late bosses for far longer then i do keys for
woah there buddy, delves are harder than the other 2 combined
somewhere down the rabbit hole of solutions to the problem you end up limiting m+ loot frequency
well, i meant it doesnt change the amount of m+ to play but just gives another decent option to obtain from vault if you balance trinkets
i think no matter what they end up doing with the system in the future you will have one side be furious, that's just how it is
and my point is way more in regards to peoples reactions to it than other stuff
I guess I'm lucky to enjoy playing dungeons
cant make gearing too hard or the casually will freak
nahhh pvpers are not mad about loot
too easy the raid loggers get mad
they just play pvp
I don't mind m+ being mandatory at the start of the xpac
i just dont want to do 500 keys for a trinket
leave the bonus rolls in vault rewards after this season and I'm gucchi
i don't think "balanced trinkets" can exist
Being able to 16/16 HC slot your char out on day 1 of a patch is kinda crazy tho
can u only wear 1 even tho theyre different stats
the delta between best and worst spec is smallest it's ever been, but people still say "THIS SPEC IS UNPLAYABLE!"
yes
even tho factually it isn't
it's UNIQUE
yea but it is unique
if you balance m+ and raid trinkets there will always be 1 trinket that is better than others
say that to a warrior on ST
but if a trinket is factually better than any other even if you downgrade it 1 track
ideally not 10ilvls of balance better
and if a raider plays a spec where your best trinket is from m+ the raider will complain
vice versa other way around
thats a bit excessive
that depends on the spec or?
lots of agi specs love puzzle box
warlocks like feather from windspire
even if keys are objectively easier than raid bosses?
yeah im not being biased
you can absolutely balance trinkets better
puzzle box is also bad
feather from windspire is also good for Moonkin, it's just not that good for KOTG
in balance
is it objectively easier?
raider that care about 1% better trinket will do 8 keys per week regardless

it's probably objectively easier to get 5 people together than 20
m+er who cares about 1% will also raid regardless
it's not a difficult thing, they just choose not to do it
gamz
reminder they have the ability to balance trinkets based on spec
as they have shown
you can ignore the 1% morons on the internet but there is absolutely a problem with the trinket balance
and have done
is aotc easier than w/e the m+ achieve eqv is..2k?
or 1500? pvp
and they do already. but there is at least 1 if not 2 raid trinkets every season that are vastly overbudget
I can tell you the answer is no
some trinket being worse than 30 ilevel below is a solvable problem they choose not to solve
raiding is the content blizzard wants to promote
no
its not even close
i think its 80 dollar house skins actually
it is 2k right? idk I forgot
yeah
and in previous seasons it was still easier
if you are talking about time spent, that's a different discussion
its always been easier to do m+ for it
you can even buy boosts week 1, probably 2
