but the difference between heroic and mythic is way bigger than the difference between normal and heroic

#

just in general not damage taken

wide rose
#

yeah i can see the HPS and DTPS on clears is so much higher

#

roughly 50% more damage taken between heroic and mythic from what i'm seeing

no the logic here is wrong, face2face pointed it out to me a week or two ago and I thought I fixed it but I guess I just never put up a PR for it facepalm

your log with the fix would look more like

you guys know how Loom'ithar Primal Spellstorm baits were bugged and would target Rogues and DKs despite being ranged mechs?

@proven phoenix put together a commentary of his week 1 Vorasius kill. I think it is a very good watch if you are struggling with the spec

proven phoenix
#

DONT LINK IT HERE oh god

whole horizon
#

is that same thing happening on Crown with the void zone baits?

#

i was always under the impression the first void zone is always baited on ranged, but that the purple arrows for the 2nd and 3rd zones can appear on anyone

i'm trying to figure out if it's a ranged-only mech or not

good work by that guy then, presenting crucial information early

drifting timber

#

I tend to only use rg when it procs unless I absolutely have to in keys. That is usually a mana eater.

#

and I keep rejuv out and wild growth

main timber
#

Careful with that, Regrowth with a few rejuvs out is actually very cheap

spark river
#

do more please

untold perch
#

then swiftmend rejuv everytime it is up

#

and nature swift with convoke for my get out of jail heals

proven phoenix
#

yes it was something I had to unlearn this tier, I still have muscle memory to only regrowth between 8-12 stacks

silk ice

but even at 6 regrowth is very good

BE AWARE: YOU CAN ONLY GET FIXATED ONCE PER FIGHT

#

we are the vorasius channel after all

untold perch
#

Sym tank and keep lifebloom stack on them or the squishy of the group, then wildgrowth, swiftmend and rejuvs across the board. Use rg when it procs. Then if you need the emergency heals I have a macro for nature swift/convoke

#

i was watching vick's earlier

steady lily
spark river
#

well you are spamming rejuvs into full hp bars

wide rose
#

oh wait wowlog has this, that's awesome wtf. i guess there's enough logs on that site to split into ilvl brackets

main timber
#

It's basically a useless metric, I'd avoid

wide rose
#

o ok

#

because lower ilvls have worst players generally or something?

shut barn

worse players and people just take it less seriously

good that i mentionned it then

Ok I give up what raid frames are you guys using?

Just did dragons with the cell fork and the private auras are a mess

#

that boss doesnt stand a chance

#

why it showing paladin spell instead of the breath bro

spark river
#

because you re using cell

#

use a functioning addon

proven phoenix
#

I think thats just a bad way to show private auras now because a lot of bosses have more than 1 on each player

clever cipher
#

Yeah

#

I'm just curious how I'm meant to have room for half of these damn spells on frames lmfao

wise galleon
#

how come these embellished boots dont show any hps or dps increase?

main timber
#

My frames are just increasingly a mess

shut barn
#

Yea pres evoker is definitely an interesting thing to try and learn when you are new to healing, but i enjoy both evoker and druid so just been watching vids and combing logs to improve. Long ways to go but these commentary videos are very good considering these are the fights im on

main timber
#

These effects that require you to look for an orb and then grab it are almost always bad

clever cipher
proven phoenix
#

I use nsrt to handle private auras

#

it has an option to make private aura anchors on raid frames

that's not a bad shout

shut barn
steady lily
spark river
# steady lily anythign else

I mean you d find plenty wrong, if you go by the timeline. You re slamming 10 rejuvs before pulls. Thats simply not how you should play keys.

wise galleon
steady lily
main timber
spark river
#

Well, you have to learn to trust your hots and your group to not get 1 tapped

#

Spend more time helping with cc and doing damage

#

Slamming heals into full hp bars is not proper gameplay

whole horizon
#

if youre scared you should lower the key level and pay attention to cast timers and mob abilities

#

if you know when damage occurs you know how much to expect based on key level, and you can heal accordingly

untold perch
#

I keep forgetting to log personally lol. I have personally felt better holding back heals and not keeping hots up unless it's just rough and they don't know what to do or not stand in.

I just ran a key with verdancy+photo and something real weird seems to be happening with who Verdancy hits...

  • My efflo hit the tank 655 times and me 79 times (i.e. I usually wasn't standing in it)
  • Meanwhile verd hit me 1398 times and the tank only 339 times?
tough portal
#

I havent verified it every single patch but that is known from since Verdancy was added, you the caster always seem to count as a valid target and it prefers yourself

hidden bay
#

Huh. Fair enough.

tough portal
#

Tank at 339 sounds weird tho. Were they not in efflo often?

hidden bay
#

Efflo hit them 655 times. They were my LB target

tough portal
#

Ig it isnt weird

#

If most of the group is in

#

Cuz then it's like always you vs the other 4 splitting procs

#

But yeah this verdancy quirk is old

hidden bay
#

1st image Efflo, 2nd image Verdancy

Ok that maybe just buggy as hell haha

Can you link the log?

#

I'm in the pooper rn but I wanna look at the events later

shut barn
# proven phoenix yes we are the premier vorasius channel now

Just watched it for druid. Yea main takeaway for me is regrowth more and stop overly rejuving. Its a habit I have to break for sure. I did get an unlucky pull where i needed to tranq the last add spawn but got an add on me and couldn’t move freely enough to get off a meaningful tranq

bright swift
#

bro I did a key with an aug for the first time

It's amazing

#

At 00:37:308 I apparently got hit with all three verd procs

tough portal
#

@main timber this looks worth investigatin / reporting, warrior for instance is clearly in Efflo and missing HP, not getting overhealed, but 2 of these Blooms here the Verdancy goes on a pet instead

untold perch
thorn plover
#

You should be pressing regrowth, like a lot

untold perch
#

but that drains my mana the most

#

I might be missing something in my current tree setup

thorn plover
#

With like 5 rejuvs out it's cheaper than rejuv

untold perch
#

hmm let me login and look

midnight dune
#

Why is liveliness always picked in top m+ builds over MS? Is the dps loss that much? Like 60% increase to rip seems like a lot to me and you never have to worry about mana. I get that liveliness gives a bump to rake, sunfire, and moonfire but if you run starfall and starsurge, you'll never run out of mana and the damage drop can't be that bad.

untold perch
#

hmm idk this is my M+ tree I have setup right now

thorn plover
vestal heath
#

why does consuming soul of the forest with a swiftmend at the end of the regrowth cast not consistant anymore?

#

it still happens, but it's not consistant

thorn plover
#

Because they "fixed it"

#

There's a blue post about it

vestal heath

chinese druid Lota on his stream does it almost consistantly

thought maybe there was some tech

I can still always do sotf rg > sm spell queue

if I want to

I can double SOTF with Regrowth into Rejuv
I cant do Regrowth into Swiftmend and back buff

vestal heath
#

i also noticed its much better with the double swiftmend talent

#

the extension swiftmend barely works

rustic copper
#

Do I make a 2nd regrowth bind

#

I mean swiftmend bind

whole horizon
#

if youre playing starfire+starsurge in keys instead of playing in melee, sure take MS

rustic copper
#

So I don’t queue it

whole horizon
#

but it's a big loss and it's not recommended

Isn't your whole keyboard already bound to regrowth

correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't Starfire doing 2x aoe damage a bug we expect them to fix?

Depends how high on their priority list it is lol

Starfire is cleaving 2x as much as the tooltip says / is intended. Wcyd.

whole horizon
#

i think Starfire is a clunky ability and it feels like shit to use, and my dps in melee is fine anyways

#

im also not trying to pad on AoE when my DPS are ending the pull at 500k

tough portal
#

I like the thrash weave much better than canceling starfire casts to move out of aoe

Or otherwise just banging down the caster / dangerous mob faster

guys serious question, how do rest druids even heal very high keys? I have do admint that i have my problems in some keys on around 13-14 where I cant seem to top ppl up quickly enough. Its easy when you have cds but sometimes ppl just die and It seems like I cant do anything against it

tough portal
#

Apex and SOTF are broken effects

midnight dune
tough portal
#

It isnt worth much if you're taking MS

#

But it's nice to fill time / do some padding without swapping 1 class tree talent and 1 spec tree talent to use Starfire

Was there a secret hotfix to reforestation this week? Last week I was able to build up stacks before a boss pull and pop my ToL right before

tough portal
#

Yes but not secret, I think they posted it in hotfixes no?

whole horizon
# vestal heath chinese druid Lota on his stream does it almost consistantly

chinese players do a lot of things that go against conventional wisdom. the language barrier and separation between publishers makes it difficult to recommend following any of their players. they also have accelerated progression/increased reset frequency, so it's like they're playing an entirely different game.

serene goblet

Ahh….i thought it was my addons or game so I kept restarting. lol

midnight dune
# tough portal It isnt worth much if you're taking MS

yea, I guess I'll experiment with liveliness. MS has been my safety net and scared to drop it. I know I'm not playing optimally, but with MS I can just constantly refresh rejuvs and never have to worry about mana. It's been useful for when I didn't know all the damage sources but now that I've learned a lot of them I guess I can be a little more mindful

whole horizon
#

weekly keys aren't a big deal, so play how you want. just know that mana issues indicate gameplay issues, so if you want to get better then you should assess what's wrong. dropping MS would be the first step.

tough portal
#

Yep that makes sense
I think it's important to get a sense of the timing of things, and mentally noting down what is dangerous about each dungeon

how does it not just drain your mana lol

awawa

gentle nova

Cause rg costs less than rejuv at 4 stacks of abundance

#

And just using VI and sotf rejuvs you can maintain 5 perma

untold perch
#

ahh I see now

#

what causes abundance to fall off? or does it do it after X amount of time? I can't seem to see what is triggering it

gentle nova
#

Its just your rejuvs expiring

1 rejuv = 1 abundance

They need to buff nb by 100%

plain steeple
#

With convoke and tranq you have 9 average abundance stacks.

whole horizon
#

you definitely get some healing value out of extra RJ if you manage to time your ramp perfectly, so more is better, but spamming RG gets you a ton of NB cleave

gentle nova
#

Do you?

#

Those gcds can be more regrowths

gentle nova
whole horizon
#

yeah, i tried just relying on SotF + Rejuv and convoke but preramping RG didn't seem to net more than ramping with RJ, it was just more mana efficient

#

the extra rejuvs definitely make a difference in HPS during the actual damage event

gentle nova
#

You dont preramp rg tho

whole horizon
#

then call it a ramp, whatever you like

#

its just pressing RG before damage instead of after

gentle nova
#

I really dont know if rejuving more is more hps

proven phoenix
#

the most I do is one sotf rg before tranq

untold perch
#

So I notice Rejuv -> sometimes stacks 1-2 abundance Swiftmend -> Rejuv 4-5 stacks of abundance then RG like crazy lol

#

then WG here and there and your mana barely moves

#

excited for keys later lol

whole horizon
#

but i want to understand when sotf RG is better

gentle nova

Only after tranq or your mana just dissapears

Or in very short fights

#

yeah it was crazy, i always thought my mana depleted because i wasnt regrowthing enough

but there is such a thing as not using rejuv enough

yeah ik, i'm only thinking for shorter fights

solid hornet

what are yall using to know when to start ramping? Just DBM or wow timer, or something else? i'm struggling with raid healing but i'm thinking i'm probably just doing ramp ineffectively/at the wrong times and i possibly just need to know dmg profile of the fights better

With the color swap

Thats what kills people

Maybe I move the disc to that

rustic copper
#

You don’t need a cd on 3rd color swap?

it's up

gentle nova

Right after the double tick at the end of egg

rustic copper
#

Oh after intermission?

bright swift
#

good amz point

rustic copper
#

Livers live

#

Idk

gentle nova
#

We had the disc move the evang there because me and mw cover egg

rustic copper
#

Empty the bad again

gentle nova
#

And then we are dry

#

And people just flop to the double tick at the end plus insta color swap and soak orbs

#

Cause theres no cds

bright swift
#

empty = bag

gentle nova
#

So if you move disc for that part

#

Making him cd opener is pointless

#

Just move the evang to 2nd

#

And you cover first with monk

#

And then you can probably tree 3rd and it would last whole egg?

Hey guys, coming back to rDruid since Legion... I have a couple questions... I read the WoWhead page and everything, been healing +11's but all the time I have been wondering why Wildstalker is more used than KotG in m+? aside from the damage that wildstalker can provide (I can catweave but I'm not very good at it)

And... is there any addon you guys recommend to keep track of HotS? (I mainly rely on animations but sometimes i miss the tick and I reapply the hot)

proven phoenix
#

do not rely on animations

#

use raid frames

#

I use grid you can use whatever you want

gentle nova
#

Simple as

#

Read the talents

urban kestrel
#

Yeah it's mostly for the mastery and hot bonuses but Ive also done 16s as kotg so it ain't bad and you get to unbind moonfire

weary moss
#

I use a lifebloom tracker, tremendous help, lifebloom uptime is now at 99%

gentle nova
#

@thorn plover check dm

#

Ok so basically, use grid to track the hots, and Wildstalker helps more with the hots... okay

Did 2 also get nerfed?

from 8 to 6

thats the change here

and 60 > 50

a couple days a go it was hotfixed from 5 --> 8 with rank 3 getting nerfed

then they nerfed rank 2 again

probably 30 more changes before the 21st

this is still significantly stronger in raid

by a huge margin most likely

for m+, which 2 would you run? (currently doing 18s)

not the rank 3? or does rank 2 increase the rank 3 heal by 50%?

its less direct healing on the target and way way more splash

if the dev knew what he was doing he wouldve already made a blue post or reworked our apex

napkin math wise

back in beeta

the only thing thats really grim is next tier or the one after we're going to have an apex oriented tier set

#

and thats when things get dark

bright jolt
#

non square root has more of a chance for overhealing otoh

#

curious to see where it ends up

#

definitely makes the apex "harder", I guess, to correctly use

#

since timing sotf is slightly more important

plain steeple
#

I think it’s good that they changed it this way. It was too overpowered before.

bright jolt

yeah, the original one was just absurdly overtuned

obv feelycraft incoming, but I don't particularly like that photosynthesis seems like extreme value for the talent point spent now though

First all allies, then 8 allies, now 6 allies before you know it we will be at the revolutionary number of 2 allies!

there is a lot of imbalance in talent tree. sucks. feels like you can't make real choices

I highly doubt that

doesnt this happen every time there is a diff build keks

main timber
#

The previous version was a 20% healing increase or something and Lexa would have dropped because it only hit 8 garf

bright jolt
#

yeah the original version was like 300% ish stronger in raid than the current apex

#

lmao

tough portal
#

I'm not sure

urban kestrel
#

I just dont believe any version of this thats blatantly overpowered doesnt get neutered by next tier release back into being useless

bright jolt
#

the likely outcome is it will get hotfixed if it's extremely out of line, or it will get lumped in with their balance changes (which they originally stated would be monthly, but who knows)

#

it's changing almost daily on ptr

#

so

urban kestrel
#

but at least ill have an op talent while im working on lura I guess

fervent mica
#

i'm just happy they're looking at the class. better than some other seasons when it just felt like whatever was going wasn't changing

also with the whole voidforge thing, does anyone whose been on top of ptr know if I need to loot a real weapon or will there still be stuff for crafted weps?

yeah our priest tried to have me do it on pull, but the 3 min one was just working out better

#

especially when we were 5 healing, then we went back to 6 heal cause it turns out a sub rogue on that fight is marginally more damage than a holy priest and PI on a hunter

no wonder dps hate council fights

is it worth it to just play incarn on alleria? ive only had time to pull it like 5 times and die in p1? or is convoke still good for the shields and p3 breaks?

just for the mobility mostly?

I tried it on dragons farm and really liked it

for those that have done mythic paladins, did you run convoke or tree? just curious. looking over some, it seemed like a ton were still using voke, just wondering if anyone felt one was better specifically for paladins.

I ran convoke, it lines up really well with senn's ticking damage

you can convoke every searing radiance

but if you're just getting more casts in with tree then run tree

@thorn plover should wait a while?

gentle nova
urban kestrel
#

Im not even sure I get 5 rejuvs while ranging bosses with convoke

thorn plover
#

not as soon as the add comes down

gentle nova

It will cast 1-3 sm in average and its 1/2 chance it will spend it on rejuv

warm mortar

@grand herald I just input my simc into QE, select Healing Focused and press Go? I'm mainly thinking about best combo for M+, not for Raid. Does it take this into account? Any way to know for M+?

gentle nova

Check you abundance when yoy convoke

urban kestrel
#

also you still get plenty of mana discount with incarn, just they arent cast for you

thorn plover
gentle nova
#

Im not sure if tree is more mana than convoke honestly

warm mortar
#

@thorn plover oooh, thanks, I didn't see that one

gentle nova
#

Just for the rejuvs casted by it wvery min

gentle nova
#

So if convoke is 2 sm average, 2 rejuv average and 2 rejuv average

#

Wouldnt that average 1 sotf rejuv every convoke?

grizzled seal
gentle nova
#

I swear it casts 4

#

Yeah

grizzled seal
#

Like what, 10-11%?

gentle nova
#

10

grizzled seal
#

Might be a drop angle

gentle nova
#

Ill try going no apex

But i think i need to stop casting that many wgs

The mana is too much

Litany sims better than Gaze by 298 HPS (0.21%). Seeing as there's no way that I'll be able to get perfect play like a sim with Litany, would I just be better off going with Gaze?

Both are completely passive

Instead of a 50k one

thats actaully pretty poggers

If you spend the NS on yourself rg as ws does 150k

#

Is Embrace still holding up? It feels strong, but not sure

gentle nova
#

Implant for the mastery stack, 20%+ on vigorous creepers on you plus passive 24% healing amp everytime you vi yourself and proc the apex

#

Plus whatever rootnetwork does

#

Plus if we play phosy its another hot to proc it

#

Pretty damn sure ws is the play

fierce isle
#

with all the changes they've been making to our apex rework it could be 99% weaker by release

#

so who knows

thorn plover
#

they got 10 days

#

so we should know soonish

fervent mica
#

i expect the notes a week from now...

gentle nova
#

My lbs bloom for 25k each doing what i said btw

fervent mica
#

then it should be locked in

gentle nova
#

Non crit

fervent mica
#

err

#

shit.

#

does that playstyle make crit good?

gentle nova
#

I dont know

#

Prolly not

#

Or maybe?

fervent mica
#

better, for sure

gentle nova
#

It def doesnt make it shit

fervent mica
#

but... maybe not good

thorn plover
#

so thats 360k healing every SM

#

with new apex

#

raw

gentle nova
#

Break down the math to understand

thorn plover
#

25k * 60% * 8 people * 3 blooms

fervent mica
#

112,500 ?

#

oh you've missed some changes

thorn plover
#

new ones today?

fervent mica
#

50% and 6 people now

thorn plover
#

ah

gentle nova
#

Oh wait what lmao

fervent mica
#

so 225,000 ish

thorn plover
#

when did that change, last 10 hours?

hazy spoke

#

none of this is posted, were seeing it on ptr

Atp just make it proc off convoke to have a realish cd

linked earlier.

#

Ah

#

I’ll scroll up

thorn plover
#

ya 225k per sm

fervent mica
#

its all still changing

gentle nova
#

225k is still a lot

fervent mica
#

yeah

gentle nova
#

For a gcd you need to use anyway

fervent mica
#

the splash wouldn't be effected by mastery, right?

#

like having hots on the people it heals won't double dip?

gentle nova
#

Idk

#

Is the new apex even a buff

#

From old one

#

At this point

fierce isle
#

it probably won't be by the time they stop fiddling

#

it'll be weaker in M+ and about the same in raid imo

fervent mica
#

i'm expecting them to lower the splash value and increase the targets

gentle nova
#

Thats ass

#

Im tired of my heals hitting 20 Targets but for 10k

fierce isle
fervent mica
#

its the only way they can really make it better in raid without buffing m+ to the moon /-:

gentle nova
#

Yeah or just rework it to lux soil apex

thorn plover
#

wait how big did you say your blooms were

#

Still useful in both content
