hi guys i have a question, whitch pot end flask is right for me at keys end raids

lucid olive

read consumable page on wowhead or compendium guide linked in channel description

#

starweaver vs rattle the stars. why most boomies go starweaver? is the solstice proc a factor here?

lucid olive
#

among other things

proven swallow
#

nice for movement as well

lucid olive
#

more tier set procs as well

#

Rattle is decidedly ahead in sims if you disable the current tier set

copper vessel
#

aha

#

thx

lucid olive
# copper vessel starweaver vs rattle the stars. why most boomies go starweaver? is the solstice ...

and numerically yes, the Solstice proc is a factor - since the tier set also increases the dmg of Shooting Stars, but it's only partly what makes Starweaver competitive.
General boss design in raid plays a big part, since Starweaver's damage profile works best for fights with sporadic add spawns like Vorasius and Salhadaar. Talents that interact with Starfall are also suddenly great at low target counts - Like the Aetherial Kindling+Meteorites build people play for Belo'ren. Choosing Starfall talents lets you press it on Touch the Cosmos procs, which leads to more spenders cast overall since Starweaver has higher chance to proc from Starfall.

Rattle is also incredibly boring, at least in raid. Static Eclipse timers with very strict "spam Wrath for 6 seconds -> Press Eclipse -> Cast Starsurge 3 times" without anything else added inbetween becomes insanely montonous really fast.

copper vessel
#

that's true it's monotonous

lucid olive
#

For Mythic+ specifically, Starweaver is generally more consistent with prio damage on important mobs or bosses with add spawns. Rattle is better at pure ST and on packs with consistently 6+ mobs with equal prio (these packs don't really exist)

copper vessel
#

I mean pure ST probably starweaver isn't that far behind with the dots extends on starfall

#

I will sim it anyway 🙂

lucid olive
#

can be weird if you just look at sim number at the end

#

cause EC sims considerably higher than KOTG

#

but yes, Starweaver is only little under 1% behind the 1min convoke ST build

copper vessel
#

interesting

lucid olive
#

that build is only really played for Lura

#

highest simming EC build has only been played for Belo'ren i think

#

unless someone is memeing voidspire reclear

#

nvm nobody has played it yet

copper vessel
#

Have been playing only EC and now trying Keeper for raids. I'm still learning all the nuances.

lucid olive
#

should read the Compendium guide linked in channel description

#

specifically look at these collapsibles

#

they can have some useful information in them

copper vessel
#

will do

fathom nebula
#

Those are new 😮

rough flax
#

For beloren mythic if both adds are stacked, will the aoe from solar beam interact with the other color add and fuck up?

nova ocean
#

Do u understand how that mechanic works

rough flax
#

so idk, thats why i am asking if solar beam aoe field as impact on it

exotic perch
#

Solar beam im p sure doesn't silence them

rough flax
#

but it does interrupt the add you target right ?

exotic perch
#

Yea it would if correct color

rough flax
#

aight thx

exotic perch
#

Moonkin kicking is dire on that fight tho

#

Let the other better range kicks control it

nova ocean
#

It doesn't fuck up anything other then it literally does nothing if u kick the wrong color

lucid olive
#

its not like kicking the wrong color is a wipe

#

its just a wasted kick

rough flax
#

fair enough, should have read the ingame tool tip.
was just watching the video and the guy mentioned that you could only interrupt your own color just assugmed it would fuck up if you didnt my bad

lucid olive
#

very rare for modern raid fights to have adds that can be silenced by solar beam

#

and if there are any then that's the exception

rough flax
#

bcs its only the target that get the intterupt effect, the adds around it only get the silence from the area right ?

lucid olive
#

because the NPCs are flagged as not able to be silenced

#

some NPCs are, some others aren't

#

can't apply logic to what is essentially a blizzard employee pressing some buttons

lucid olive
#

complete RNG whether the silence works or not

#

in raid it usually doesn't

#

in M+ it can, like on Lorthraxion or whatever in Nexus Point

exotic perch
#

They don't want our kick to be actually good

#

That's why most the mobs are unsilenceable

#

Would prob be too op

drifting nova
#

druid? op?

#

you must be lost

lucid olive
nova ocean
#

Same

normal pilot
#

beam in legion m+ was insane before blizz decided they hate aoe

#

pull everything silence everything spam starfall every gcd

lucid olive
#

when i say something i'm like 90% sure of and then see "gastank is typing" after

nova ocean
#

They took away all our unique utility

#

We used to have solar beam silence some adds on boss and mass root could take adds out forever with two moonkins

drifting nova
#

and then the clankers took over

nova ocean
#

I think beam worked on intermission adds on raz that's probably the last time

exotic perch
nova ocean
#

That was also the last time moonkin was used on final boss

#

We should bitch like dks when grip doesn't work even though we have mark technically

normal pilot
#

i mean utility wasn't the reason

#

that was around the time we lost the lock dev and got the feral dev

#

lost dev roulette unlucky

nova ocean
#

We didn't really do good damage tho on raz and p1 we sat in bear form hoping to not die to everything

lucid olive
#

and the boss that RWF progressed was completely different boss than everyone else

#

Moonkin didn't lose as much ST dam from taking AoE talents as others did

#

so you could talent for intermission adds without completely ruining your boss dam

#

don't think it had much to do with beam idk

exotic perch
#

It was the best druid buff too then

#

Feral wasnt seen until amirdrassil

loud kettle
#

yea dont forget that druid sucked

#

feral only did aoe that season

#

healer meta was evokers galore

exotic perch
#

Yep and bear was ass

#

Prot war was god that tier iirc

nova ocean
#

They used mass root and ursols Typhon and shit tho a lot too

#

Did they have one or two druids I forgot

lucid olive
#

and not terrible for the ST phases

#

the utility is kind of irrelevant

#

the other druid specs could have brought same utility, or you could use spells from other classes

my beloved

lucid olive
#

that talent tree has Circle of Life and Death on it

#

biggest dogshit talent to exist

nova ocean
lucid olive
nova ocean
#

I never said race brought it for beam I said we had lots of utility like mass roots

#

I said I think beam silenced on raz

lucid olive
#

you said we were used for utility

#

"utility" is fake argument in almost all pve content

#

you bring who does the most dmg to the profile you need

#

and figure out the rest

exotic perch
#

only utility we really used was ursols on the 2nd intermission

#

when all the little adds ran the middle as they crossed

lucid olive
#

and that could have just been any other class with a cc

exotic perch
#

but even then you just used other stuns lol

lofty depot
#

used incap to hit a lot of the orbs

lucid olive
#

landslide evoker for instance

#

shaman and mage could solo sparks

lofty depot
#

u could jump incap and hit like 6 or some shot

lucid olive
#

the talent tree and dmg profile we on launch was really good for Diurna and good for Raszageth intermission adds

#

but the intermission that RWF progged was very different than anyone else

nova ocean
#

Liquid also ran resto not moonkin didn't they

lucid olive
#

no they both ran moonkin

#

drenaco and goop played raszageth

#

i guess not goop, they played baboombabam instead

nova ocean
#

Google ai sucks then

lucid olive
#

yeah i dont imagine WoW being popular enough for google to get raid comps right

unborn bridge
#

how does spreading sunfire work? do I just press it on a mob once pack is gathered?

lucid olive
#

yes

#

ideally on a mob in the middle of all the other mobs

#

and not a mob on the edge

unborn bridge
#

and ideally moonfire while tank gathers right?

lucid olive
#

yeah

#

twin moons also doesn't work unless you're in combat with the mob so if you're early you'll only moonfire 1 mob instead of two

verbal shadow
#

If you guys could see any buffs to moonkin, what would you like and why?

lucid olive
#

20% aura buff so i can do big dam

#

i'm already doing big dam but imagine if i did 20% more of it

#

id be unstoppable

steel pulsar
#

Whats the first buff that gets used up for the free spell? Touch of the cosmos or Starweaver? How do i set it up intuitively to know exactly whats going on instantly?

normal pilot
#

weaver->touch->AC at last check

#

unless dev decided to stealth change it

steel pulsar
#

What is AC?

lucid olive
#

astral communion

steel pulsar
#

How to best deal with this? Is it just as simple as prioritizing the spell based on target count first, and then whatever is glowy press that? Or if we are on full astral power we want to leave the glowy thing alone for an extra gcd?

lucid olive
#

if youre at full AP you can maybe spend one that isn't free

#

if you do the first option then you can proc a free Starsurge and you'll spend the free one

#

you can also delay spending Starweaver when you're outside of Eclipse while building with Wrath, but you kinda need to spend it (or enter Eclipse) when you proc Cosmos or you risk munching a proc

steel pulsar
#

if we are on full astral power and on giga aoe, and we got a free starsurge and touch of the cosmos, do we just not do the first thing you said where you press starsurge?

#

because all the intricacies occur when u do have capped astral power imo

lucid olive
#

yeah in AoE pulls you spend the Starsurge for Solstice uptime but you can delay it if you're giga capping on AP

Why does this sometime work and sometimes i can spam it for like 5 seconds before it does anything. Not casting anything and im in the same realm (Doing it during crystal).
Sometimes it just works as i cast it

lucid olive

is the guy in range

fathom nebula
#

Same realm too

lucid olive

does it have a range even idk

#

its Mythic lura, shoulds be?

theres not different realms during the crystals or

Nop

#

its on the second set, im wondering if us being in different realms in the first one are messing or somethign.. its so weird

Im a pleb, on crown mythic p1, should I just spam starfall or starsurge the main target? it dies fast enough I guess, I am a bit overwhelmed by the fight since I am an unc 😄

Your Starfall is probably going to fuck the debuff being applied to the big adds too

#

They’ll drift toward you

lofty depot

not if u stand on edge :/

copper gate
lofty depot
#

position better

#

smh

pallid bay
#

pressing starfall there is kinda pointless

#

u can do it when u go to the third guy tbf

#

cause there's like 10 small adds

lofty depot
#

i spam like 6 starfalls during that 1m cd mmhm mmhm

Not 7?

6 are buffed by apex silly

so it is effectively a full st phase

u can do fine doing both

#

p1 just doesnt matter

fickle pier
#

you'll kill the third guy with 10 seconds to go and you'll sit there with full asp doing nothing

steel pulsar
#

I see some people not using their eclipse before their ulti, whereas on wowhead it recommends using eclipse before ulti for the temporary buffs since u make ur cd stronger and only waste 10s of cd. Is it up in the air whats better?

ruby badger
#

Depends on the fight / build

#

Most fights this tier favour eclipse > incarn/CA due to timings of amps or adds

steel pulsar
lucid olive
#

you use Eclipse before CDs on opener to make sure Eclipse gets on cooldown

#

however much you play of that Eclipse is up to you

steel pulsar
#

his eclipse uptime in the first 5s is the same as his chosen of elune uptime, so he straight up didnt use it

lucid olive
#

yeah i mean, top logs dont always play optimally

#

its not like the difference is gigantic

steel pulsar
#

if u get lust later in the fight, like in a dungeon boss, and u enter the boss with 2 charges of eclipse, i suppose u just send chosen of elune without eclipse? I imagine all the gain of the eclipse before chosen of elune lies in all the burst damage of lust+pot?

lucid olive
#

is your incarn cd also capped

#

if youre at 2 charges of eclipse and 1 charge of incarn then you enter eclipse and play like 10 ish seconds of it before you press incarn

#

thats assuming trinket isnt in the equation

lofty depot
#

he said ulti

#

hmm

lucid olive
#

they should make a moonkin midlaner

lofty depot
#

then said chosen of elune

lucid olive
#

typhoon vortex W, Starsurge Q, Eclipse E and Incarn R

lofty depot
#

can we pick a name

ruby badger
#

ICoE could be the move

lofty depot
#

no

#

its called ca

steel pulsar
lofty depot
#

or incarn at worst

lofty depot
#

it will do more damage in incarn than eclipse so u spend it all

steel pulsar
#

really? even if u are not capped? I was thinking that it might be worth holding incarn till lust if u don't end up losing seconds from it being capped

#

so u can double incarn back to back

lucid olive
#

hes talking about spending ap

#

you want to have lots of ap going into incarn yes

#

also want lots of ap going into eclipse

#

ideally spend to 0 before exiting either

lofty depot
#

i mean u dont double incarn in raid

lucid olive
#

yeah he said m+

lofty depot
#

he linked a raid log

steel pulsar
#

i mean like, lets say u got lust in 60s, u are sitting on 1 charge of incarn and 2 charges of eclipse. I was thinking it is better to use 3 charges of eclipse, and then send incarn. Usually this is for m+

lofty depot
#

and then said dungeon boss

steel pulsar
lofty depot
#

u dont often use incarn back to back in dungeon either

fickle pier
#

you just use incarn every 90s with your stare more or less

#

and tell your tank to pull something

lofty depot
#

that would be ideal yes

ruby badger
#

I think pull size + how fucked are we if this lives long factors in a lot more

subtle ice
#

hey does anyone know of a list or smth showing what spells in dungeons are effected by avoidance?

normal pilot
#

i doubt it exists since someone would need to manually test every single one

#

nobody cares that much

ruby badger
#

It's usually very self explanatory as well

normal pilot
#

it's not at all since you have no idea what applies or not

#

if you're lucky you might find some tanks have tested some of the bigger hits

craggy sonnet
#

not-even-close usually pretty accurate

maiden pasture
#

yeah was gonna say

#

that website changes based on avoidance

#

so i assume testing has been done for it

craggy sonnet
#

everything thats tagged as AoE

ruby badger
#

It's just chance to not take damage from an AoE hit, usually the only exceptions are when they're environmental hits I think

normal pilot
#

i know what it does

ruby badger
#

Then why mention tanks

normal pilot
#

cuz they someimtes care/track damage taken

#

env hits arent the only problem, no all 'aoe' is actually aoe

#

just depends on how the dev scripts things

craggy sonnet
#

starfall mrowing

rare shoal
#

Zephyr and Avoidance will usually work on the same things

subtle ice
#

ay thats a good place for me to start and get a better idea, pushing 18-19 atm and tryna mitigate as much dmg as possible so my healer doesnt hate me lmao

#

much appreciated tyty

Is there an faq or primer for cats that don't rip and tear very good in raid and want to try balance?

I saw it's the same stat priority, so other than the obvious int weapon and on-use trinket it's an easy swap

#

I've been doing some delves and I can't get the hang of when to use eclipse

#

I think it's because the mobs die too fast

dense steeple
#

eclipse when you have 2 charges as a bare minimum

#

its mostly vibes in world content and shit

main pivot
#

I'm still pushing keys on feral so this would only be for mythic 3/9 and heroic reclears

#

I think what is tripping me is that feral sends Tiger's Fury on cooldown and ideally when energy and combo points are low

Seems like eclipse is better when astral power is full and that you can't just send it on cd

lofty depot
#

and with fury of elune

#

both are modifiers

no main stat gem, should prob sim but ring enchants/gems are the wrong one -> crit good, talents arent rly optimal (although its not what makes that big of a difference compared to what u're supposed to deal), u're not lining up incarn presses with trinkets, and my guess would be u're doing the same with FoE, u need to make sure to pool asp/fish for procs before entering eclipse/pressing incarn to spend starfalls asap for apex & Balance of all things, and u're also most likely not casting enough (lots of cat forms, u should spec into fluid form) etc

bleak kiln
#

? I do have main stat gem

obtuse robin
#

not showing here, mb

bleak kiln
#

yea I have it in head slot

#

odd

#

not sure whats wrong with the spec but would appreciate any tips with it

#

maybe wowhead is just dogshit idk, thats what I normally use

obtuse robin
#

running this atm

ruby badger
#

Your first incarn should be lined up with the first lust
1st Incarn: 00:35
2nd Incarn: 3:15
So you're just sitting on 2 charges of incarn from like 2:35 - 3:15

#

It's pretty good on the first boss if you plan on actually killing the blobs

#

If not just killing the chain mobs in the first area quicker will make life easier

bleak kiln
#

especially with pugs and tanks that u have absolutely no clue on pull sizes

ruby badger
#

Your eclipses are mostly fine but there's a few like this:

bleak kiln
lofty depot
#

u would press eclipse first but u shouldnt play the eclipse out fully

ruby badger
#

at 2 charges of Incarn and Eclipse at each, you'd be more interested in getting Incarn on CD first
But with how gathering the first pull in M+ works, like Arctic said, you can hop into an eclipse while you moonfire stuff, then Incarn when it's gathered and you're ready to crank

bleak kiln
#

ah okay

#

yea I dont eclipse while dotting normally

#

or try not to

ruby badger
#

It's really only applicable in the first pull of a dungeon

#

It's rare the situation arises again

#

Usually from there on you want to do all set up before eclipse then crank

bleak kiln
#

all set up meaning like fishing for free procs of starfall/SS?

does anyone know if the 3.4k achieve can be done multiple times per season

timing 15s with 15 deaths really yput things into perspective about how easy things are if you just play the game

on most m+ runs i've done above 12, active shrooms reliably do >=5% of my dmg, which is a pretty good result in my book for any one talent node

#

ur griefing

slender island
#

how so

#

and don't tell me it's because of one extra button to press

that one extra button means less other buttons

it is also another instant cast, so more movement heyyy

and its meaningless pad

just let the real specs kill the adds

and i am this close to taking it for paladins prog tonight

#

About to get a lantern craft. What is the best Embellishment for boomy?

lucid olive
#

spend 3 times at start of your cooldowns

#

or spend 2 times before building again

#

Sunfire when mobs are stacked

#

your first Sunfire in that pull was 10+ seconds into it

wintry basin
#

gotcha .. feels like when i wait to SF, mobs are already almost dead 🙁

lucid olive
#

you're also not pressing Eclipse enough

#

letting it cap at times

wintry basin
#

and FoE, defintately need to fix this ... i tend to send it on cd

lucid olive
#

or you're entering Eclipse with not enough AP

lucid olive
wintry basin
#

speaking on Eclipses, i am uncertain .. should i wait til SL is almost end before entering it or .. just enter it to prevent cap

lucid olive
#

You can hold Eclipse/Incarn for FoE but generally not other way around

lucid olive
#

you can use the remaining Starlord duration to generate some more AP before your next Eclipse

grim trellis
#

Guess I'll go with Hunt :LUL:

lucid olive
#

but you want to press Eclipse based on available resources

#

Fury of Elune is also a resource and not really a damage button

#

the only damage buttons you have are Starfall and Starsurge

wintry basin
#

I see

lucid olive
#

the rest are resource generators or damage activators

#

like here are your Lunar presses

#

it doesn't look terrible but the gaps are noticeable, and other times you press it insta as the previous one fades

#

when you should have made sure to exit Eclipse with low AP and entered the next one with high AP

#

also close to capping on incarn in some places

wintry basin
#

gotcha ... thank you so much for all the insights ... back to work lol

lucid olive
#

you used Wild Charge 1 time

wintry basin
#

oh no

#

lol

#

tell me more

lucid olive
#

Wild Charge is incredibly useful for movement

#

since it lets you use instant casts while you're flying

#

the best way you can consistently increase your damage is to handle movement better

#

moonkin is a proactive spec and not reactive

learning how to stay aware of what's happening and what's going to happen 10+ seconds from now

did a search and the latest answer to this seems to be from 2023. it doesnt seem to be stacking the dot any longer, at least on the training dummies i tried it on. does wild mushroom dot stack or do you wait until it expires to reapply?

lofty depot
#

the reason u use wild mushroom isnt because of the dot

#

u use it for burst aoe, which means ur slamming 2-3 when youre doing so

bright vortex
#

Got it, thanks

craggy sonnet

nice cop out answer

lucid olive

it doesnt stack duration

but it ignites

nice cop out answer

Hey, put 200+ hours into this spec all expac. but your going to go down in the tier list the more time and patience you spend on it xD. (how chicken is this xpac so far)

thats good to know

wonder if we'd be better off..

Random people can’t compete with high iq Blizz employees…

Play the game as they intended

if spec breaks CI cuz apl doesn't work anymore i just replace with default blizz apl

plenty of peopel being salty

when they spam cast sunfire in cds

u also dont need todo it no u can just look at ur key and see the resil level under the key level

i can, i just noticed i had it and wasnt sure what the status was of stuff

apparently over a month

bleak kiln
#

man M crown is crazy hectic and is even worse when ur the #1 rezzer for ur raid

#

legit died to dimensional slash for the first time ever because I was trying to rez 2 people lmfao

lofty depot
#

what part is hectic

bleak kiln
#

Because the answer is the entire fight

lofty depot
#

i just dont feel that way

#

outside of p1 its just a dance moving from 1 point to the next

bleak kiln
#

There's just so much bullshit going on CONSTANTLY

#

I take a lock gate and die to random obelisk beams

lofty depot
#

is that because ur team is being very not smart and taking gaet with obelisk or

#

and or ur melee being very not smart and aiming it towards the group for fun

bleak kiln
#

I had to delay taking the gate

#

and took at it the literal worst possible time

#

there's just a lot of responsibility on me I think?

#

I'm innervating on CD, main rezzer, only druid in the whole grp

#

solar beaming, aiming beams at adds, making sure movement is perfect

lofty depot
#

u and every boomkin thats kill it

#

well maybe not anymore

bleak kiln
#

the boss doesnt feel like an "easy" boss to me idk

#

but tbf I've literally never been a CE player

plucky valley
bleak kiln
#

like boss is damned hard imo

#

and I mean that makes sense because it technically is a CE boss

lofty depot
#

or

bleak kiln
#

Paladins didnt feel hard, but maybe thats because really all it was, was dodging stuff and soaking

lofty depot
#

somethings are more mechanical than others

#

when nothing 1 shots u and the overall damage can just be out healed and outgeared by 10 ilvls

#

but in perspective.... all the fights uve prog'd being like 30-80 pulls

#

ur going to get to lura and say the same thing

bleak kiln
#

Yea, some pulls are just dog for me and some are perfectly fine. Think we're on pull 72 or so

bleak kiln
lofty depot
#

it jsut got nerfed

#

get to work

bleak kiln
#

when?

lofty depot
#

last week

#

even then seems weird

#

ur gonna have to learn how to do kicks, memory game pressers and dodge glaives

bleak kiln
#

yea, we'll see if we get that far

#

tbh I doubt it

lofty depot
#

?

#

u got 3 months or something

bleak kiln
#

either we get there or I'm benched for the fight lol

#

which I wouldnt be suprised abt

#

boomkin just seems fuckin garbanzo beans compared to other specs we could pull in

lofty depot
#

i mean u need mark

#

but also boomkin isnt bad

#

if u just play better dont get hit by shit and do more damage than people u wont get sat

bleak kiln
lofty depot
#

lol im just confused what the problem is with getting obleisk or the puddle drop

#

its a slight step left or right

#

why are u freaking out

#

arrow, move out of group or wild charge to the boss to hit it

celest phoenix
#

their raid doesnt have a dk, ret pally or warlock? Susge

bleak kiln
lofty depot
#

well its possible those people dont ahve hands

#

or a brain

#

or good neough

lofty depot
#

stop spamming starfall in p1

lucid olive
#

mostly baiting

lofty depot
#

only thing getting baited is my boomkin that thinks he should be starfalling

lucid olive
#

take the gate after the 1st arrows if you dont get picked by the void expulsion at like 0:53

jovial sundial
lucid olive
#

if you get picked by void expulsion you stay behind and gate after

#

starfall in p1 alleria isnt padding

lofty depot
#

how u padding on something that doesnt count

lucid olive
#

the bosses have insane dmg amp on them

#

just starsurge

fair pasture
#

Isn't it like useful to kill the orbs tho

#

Or is it a perfect world where they die to melee cleave and incidental cleave

lucid olive
#

they will just get melee meat grindered

fair pasture
#

True

lofty depot
#

when theres melee and every other cleave class

#

when u have weaver and can press free starfalls

fair pasture
#

Do they not have weaver

lofty depot
#

they do

fair pasture
#

Oh they're starfallinf when not free

lofty depot
#

mmhm mmhm

fair pasture
#

Yeah I'm probably over starfalling in that fight true

#

True good point, noted

lofty depot
#

just wait til i start convoking

fair pasture
#

I played convoke on it last two times (heroic lol) but I'm like brain stupid and I never end the fight alive

#

I just do it for parseing now

#

And that didn't go well

#

But excited to do it on mythic eventually

#

2m convoke or 1m convoke

#

Do people play 2m outside of egg

#

So many questions occur to me when laying in bed and it's a pain to go on warcraft logs

lofty depot
#

also incarn isnt bad on egg

bleak kiln
#

so I would agree with you, if it actually mattered

#

currently we're killing all the mino bosses fine

#

we even wait 10 seconds for arrows when last mino boss is at 0%

fair pasture
bleak kiln
#

Is it like genuinely more dps to starsurge on P1? Since it's not rly affecting anything

lofty depot
lofty depot
bleak kiln
lofty depot
#

correct

bleak kiln
#

Hmmm okay, surges do basically no damage at onset of fight tho

fair pasture
#

What

#

Like comparatively to amped surges?

lofty depot
#

if ur looking at details sure

fair pasture
#

It's not ur job to think about evaluating every gcd on a utility-per-button basis, your job is make number go up

bleak kiln
#

gotcha, what abt P2? Do I just still spam surge into boss or starfall until adds hit 0?

#

Don't think we're killing it tn tho, close pulls tho. 11 and 9%

fair pasture
#

I believe in u

lofty depot
#

unless ur on rift duty then u can starfall during that

bleak kiln
#

Best pull 6% sadge

inland jetty
#

i thought it was bis

lofty depot
#

295 surely

inland jetty
#

ooo

#

i was stumped

lofty depot
#

smh

#

its curious u guys are lusting p3 when ur not hitting 40%

bleak kiln
lofty depot
#

pot

bleak kiln
#

ah yea, I probably need it macro'd or something

bleak kiln
lofty depot
#

u have to press it before at like 430-440

#

alternatively u just sit on incarn til its up

bleak kiln
#

Yea sometimes incarn is like roughly 1min till it comes up so i've just been sending it during eclipse but ig I dont do that

delicate perch
#

Is boomkin good yet

lofty depot
#

nah feral god buffed so were shit now

delicate perch
#

Rip, try again next tier I guess

sudden flame
fresh salmon
#

is it acceptable to use vaelgor with lunar eclipse?

#

or I absolutely need to pair it with incarn

#

in keys

#

coz sometimes they desync quite bad

pallid bay
#

consider not desyncing them

fresh salmon
#

that means second pull in keys I'm not using incarn then

#

isnt that trolling?

royal zenith
#

uhm

#

just do 1st and sync with 3rd use, etc?

ruby badger
#

It is fine to desync Incarn from Vaelgor's sometimes in M+

#

But I'd just wait until your next line up of Vaelgor's / Incarn rather than hitting it on Eclipse

#

Usually though it means you've fucked up planning if you desync Incarn from Vaelgor's

round field
#

cd without trinket fine
trinket without cd not very fine

#

but wait vaelgor is 1 min 30

#

dont u just have it for like every incarn

ruby badger
#

There's a couple situations where it ends up desyncing

#

The damage amp boss in NPX if it lives for 2 damage amps

round field
#

whats the cd on incarn nowadays anyways

ruby badger
#

2 charges with a 2 min recharge

fresh salmon
#

waiting for vaelgor to come back up

#

like I have one charge of incarn I'm not using

slender island
#

it's absolutely fine to sit on a charge waiting for the right time to use, you're not wasting anything doing that

fresh salmon
round field
#

yea its completely fine

#

you dont lose anything until youre sitting on both

fresh salmon
#

tyty

wintry umbra
#

Are y'all holding some ap to be able to starsurge during the knockup on chim

lofty depot
#

Holding asp to slam asp on starfalls, but why we getting knocked up for full duration

#

Press gate or wildcharge

fresh salmon
#

what dungeon would you invest voidcores in to catch up on crit? since my gear is omega bad atm

lofty depot
#

Well u should invest in some sims

#

Haste gems and ring enchants

#

Think we're being silly

fresh salmon
#

yeah I have to keep those since I'm resto main sadly

lofty depot
#

No

fresh salmon
#

but I would love to be able to flex boomy

lofty depot
#

Impossible

jade flume
#

pit has good crit haste ring

lofty depot
#

Character bricked

jade flume
#

but u can get repeats since u have the neck

#

best to just sim and coin for whatever sims the most tbh

#

you can just drink crit flask with gear u have and should be chilling tho imo

fresh salmon
#

idk I'm watching some +20s boomy pov and they all have 27% crit and only 13% haste I feel like I'm trolling

lofty depot
#

U are

#

(stats don't matter, ur just losing damage for fun kinda)

fresh salmon
#

crit stat definitely matters

#

only 12 is trash for boomy

lofty depot
#

How do u know

fresh salmon
#

by watching people with way better crit than me, on packs they do way more damage by criting everything

#

while I don't

lofty depot
#

Maybe ur playing incorrectly

fresh salmon
lucid olive
#

algethar ring good too

ruby badger
#

The neck from Pit is good crit as well

lofty depot
#

He has the neck silly

ruby badger
#

Sorry I didn't read up aga

lucid olive
#

sim ur character

#

sim droptimizer to find items that are upgrades

#

or add items in top gear

ruby badger
#

Can't remember who it was, maybe Gamz? Who showed the stats of like the top 10 boomie parses on a fight

lucid olive
#

should be thinking of WoW gearing as item vs item instead of stat vs stat

ruby badger
#

and they were all just random assortments of crit/mastery/haste

wintry umbra
#

This

lucid olive
#

oh yeah nice now deux gets a ping...

ruby badger
#

Holy fuck reading up is OP

wintry umbra
lofty depot
#

If I cared I would time a 20 with negative haste/Crit just to prove a point

#

But m+ is for the mentally ill

fresh salmon

I am chill

#

U m+ers are not

wintry umbra
fresh salmon
#

how about u don't insult every key player for no reason

lofty depot
#

Im not, they do that themselves

ruby badger

If you wanna play M+ you have to be willing to be called a dog

I play M+ and I feel the braincells melt away

what is this raid elitism bullshit

lofty depot

Get mad

Both content are great?

#

Like I said mentally ill

ye on such a big discord u gotta have this

only friends then, much better

lofty depot
#

Then little guys can't dm him asking why Crit better than haste

lucid olive

think only times i've added people as friend the last like 5 years is because you need to if you wanna do a group call in DMs

fresh salmon

not even arctic is friend

Mmhm mmhm

lucid olive

okay we have 20k apparently

smeared on a little thick

i have 2k more messages than you in our DMs, which i suppose is because i

I have a midterm tomorrow and need to make a presentation about the opium wars

#

surely you're a respected historian deux

#

got any tips

royal zenith
#

opium wars is not something I'm well-versed in

#

give me 5 minutes...

#

oh I remember this, I mean

#

what do you need tips on

#

the wiki itself already describes it's meant to make the upper-class addicted to opium, which in itself is already interesting enough??

#

for the actual build-up of the presentation, state goal en target-audience, give it to chat-gpt, let it generate a few slides and go

#

🤝

#

(and by go I meant use it as a starting point)

lucid olive
#

asked an AI for a ton of sources and then asked it specific stuff like "how do i do this particular thing in powerpoint to convey this particular message"

pallid bay
#

burned some trees

#

used up some water

#

asked AI

royal zenith
#

made ram more expensive

lucid olive
#

damn right

pallid bay
lucid olive
#

the RAM i bought for 3000 kroner last year is worth over 20k kroner now

#

call that investment

royal zenith
#

btw didn't you get a list of requirements?

#

for you to pass

#

can also add that to the prompt 🙂

lucid olive
#

yeah...

#

i don't like to follow those

royal zenith
#

you don't like to follow the requirements you need to get a good grade?

#

explain the logic

lucid olive
#

yes

#

i just like to learn

#

the grade at end of semester is secondary to that

royal zenith
#

I mean, that's nice, but...

lofty depot
#

Opium wars as in now or like 1800s 👀

royal zenith
#

you're paying for something no?

#

or is it funded

#

kinda does help to get something like a certificate/paper to prove you have studied and learned something

lucid olive
#

i haven't paid anything so no clue

royal zenith
#

makes it easier to make money

lucid olive
#

maybe i end up paying when school year is over

#

maybe i don't

royal zenith
#

the helly

lucid olive
#

to be fair my history teacher told me she already planned me getting an S

#

which is why i'm taking it more chill with it

royal zenith
#

I don't know what an S means

lucid olive
#

best grade

royal zenith
#

like S A B C D

lucid olive
#

it's a 6 here

royal zenith
#

bruh

lofty depot
#

The fuck is a 6

lucid olive
#

1-2-3-4-5-6 are the grades

royal zenith
#

I don't like US's grading system either tbf

round field
#

six seven

lucid olive
#

i just say S cause thats globally accepted

royal zenith
#

we just take a 100

lofty depot
#

Globally?

royal zenith
#

and anything above 55 is good

#

or a pass

#

shrimple

round field
#

we have 1-5

#

based on 0-100% percentage

lucid olive
# lofty depot Globally?

not everyone uses the same grading system, but everyone has seen enough western media to know what an S is in conversation

lofty depot
#

Probably not even scaling it either

royal zenith
#

I think bachelor/master etc. use the same grading

#

not sure though

lucid olive
#

ye

#

university here does letters instead of numbers afaik

royal zenith
#

funny

lucid olive
#

but i'm just retaking education i dropped out of when i was 18

royal zenith
#

I understand but like

#

your resume...

#

can't be putting "wowhead writer" on there!!

lofty depot
royal zenith
#

well there's a difference between a portfolio and a cv

lucid olive
#

idk probably got enough stuff to put on my resume if i wanted to

#

have had some responsibilities in local politics and such

royal zenith
#

if vinter actually put that on his cv, I mean, gotta start somewhere

lucid olive
#

worked as a journalist for a bit

royal zenith
#

I guess

lucid olive
#

had short story published when i was 15

royal zenith
#

ah okay fair enough

lofty depot
#

Idk, it's on his funny website

#

Just a summary of work

maiden pasture
#

putting a website you've dev'd on your CV as a web dev is pretty standard garf

royal zenith
#

in all fairness though gamz

lofty depot
#

Do u think professional gamers put their accomplishments on their resume when applying for a job

royal zenith
#

this is why you dont know what to put in the presentation

#

no goals.. smh

maiden pasture
#

depending on role aswell ofc

#

my mate was a pro league coach and now works as a uni / college teacher and it helped him a lot

royal zenith
#

not a portfolio

maiden pasture
#

its the same as if you went semi pro in sports, there are skills you learn there that are benificial to many jobs

round field
#

yes

royal zenith
#

study/work experience versus actual work you produced

round field
#

but you will also get laughed at

#

when u write

#

"semi pro at video games" in ur cv

lofty depot
#

Would someone get laughed at if they got 12th at the olympics

round field
#

what

royal zenith
#

would that 12th olympic win make them a good coach though?

lofty depot
#

They beat the 100s of other athletes that tried to qualify and didnt

#

So yes

round field
#

bzzt

#

wrong buzzer

royal zenith
#

then why are the best coaches not always the messi's or ronaldo's

#

curious

lucid olive
#

which is probably something employers look at

#

"wtf was he doing for 4 years between high school and college"

#

it's either prison or league of legends at that point innit

Ive used games during my job interviews

but it's classified as a hobby
