Sorry where can I see the proposed changes to apex? On wowhead somewhere?
no, only on ptr
can you assume to do that on every bloom through say, averzian?
you have to hit the mobs it goes on to proc the shields
Ok thanks
for math purposes
the removed the ability to proc it from aoe, so it can be annoying
With wildstalker yes
You just need 1 symb bloom (from vi) and forestwalk
They should ramake the apex to a sm one
Apex 4 whenever you swiftmend all your hots tick 100% faster for 4 seconds

Would that be op in m+
true
wait do the blooms from everbloom count in the log as lifebloom blooms
god that sentence makes my brain hurt
Yes
@fervent mica ah, I understand
ok so not quite then
Wowanalyzer separates them
so you'd kinda have to combine it with HotW + convoke or something for it to provide a big shield?
Does tranq heal someone more with the more hots you have on them ?
12m healing is a lot
so if it says 115 blooms on wowanalyzer for everbloom, equivalent would be 69
its not 12m its less
the new apex should be a fairly large gain if you play towards it over the old one in raid
they've been tuning it hour to hour though
so who knows, guess the weekend is a reprieve from that
8.8m
It says linked blooms from apex4
Check the little i
Tf is a linked bloom
Blooms linked to apex 4
Oh gotcha
For comparison what did the other heals did and wht was the hps
Show the breakdown
just make our apex that funny pvp talent for rbgs and pet teams
early spring
thatd be funny
A wg based flourish

When you cast wg you get 100% flourish for a couple seconds
wg based flourish would go hard
how did you have no blooms besides apex blooms
Or make Apex WoD Genesis
napkin math is about 25% more on everbloom
it says 75/75 blooms were linked blooms
Its cause i dont really pay attention to pandemic
Just yolo when it looks low

More important shit to do
would have done 3m
3,037,500
it's roughly a 25% increase on that log
since you have to factor in manual blooms
etc
Increase on just everbloom
yes just everbloom
Bro thats ass
😹
But that fight also has no rot at all
Its 50 seconds intervals of burst
it's technically a little less than that because you are more likely to overheal
And then egg is kinda rottish
most likely
in general though
if you play toward the apex strength
it should be a fairly large net gain
but it's harder to optimize than the one this patch
is the tldr
on the first log i linked it woulda been about a 50% gain on everbloom
yeah the log I had on wildstalker for paladins would've been a very high number too
for instance this would be a little closer to 20% on everbloom
from what I got
Thats bird?
no
I just ran a random build during our paladins prog originally
was trying some stuff
U werent in for bird?
no
Yeah druid sucks rhere ngl
it wouldn't be awful on the absorbs tbh, depending on how they do the targeting
but it's stronger in hard rot, yes
how are we even speccing 4 apex and phosy
it just comes up on point:throughput ratio on 2m convoke and reforest
Sure depending if your mana is infinite to cast 5 wg cpm
I think for most people
Drop refo
reforest is harder to optimize than just hitting convoke, but idk tbh
2 tv is mandatory bro
it's a wash
Bounty healing does 15% hps
a lot of it will just get mathed out later
no it won't lol
since when has healer theorycraft done math to compare different builds
At this point the current gameplay and build isnt even determined
Spec is bad designed
And its cause they introduced nb
What is nsrt?
side question: in current state of the game what size of raid would make ws better
northern sky raid tools

doing OT heroic lura tonight, suspecting like under 14 people
No one knows
we got to 10% last night
as a newer person to healing though, I do wish that qelive was slightly more accessible to see specific calcs like sims are
it's a bit unfortunate
and it is healing
yeah I'd imagine it's extremely time consuming
I mean I think healers beating themselves up on this stuff doesn't particularly help, but I understand
I have a TC module that makes a lot of the backend accessible but everything is slow moving because it's 99% a solo project
And patch updates already take up a lot of available time
I think its fun to just explore things instead of just mathing out everything and then just determine whats best that way tbf
I picked up two new helpers this expansion so that'll help
I wonder if there's ever a case in the future that something like what they do with aug is adapted for healers, although I don't know too much on that front
I'm assuming for qe it's pretty much that though
Nah it is not really similar
ah
The other thing is, you can set up a lot in a vacuum but if two choices are within 1-2% then your choice will get dictated by the fight anyway
that sounds that same as dps
I don't even know by what metric you consider 1 build better than another
for healing
like it's too cooked
You can sometimes capture very OP stuff, or very underpowered stuff
You can just manually count your Swiftmends too
But using log analysis on particular fights supplement the modelling well anyway. So the system works, it just requires logs too
I have a simulator too, but that too can only be used situationally. Very good for capturing specific ramps
how does qe model missing health etc

sorry for being off topic btw
But I do not think it's useful to say "this is mathematically the best build" and then try and push away dissenters because what is best varies more than DPS on a fight by fight basis
I don't think it's a bad thing either. You math out what you can, and you use log analysis for the rest
I mean this sums up the issues with dps simming atm
I don't see how it would be significantly diff than total healing metrics, but I'm not sure if I'm missing something
when I was helping the warlock tcs last patch, it was particularly hard to reccomend talents based on not having optimal sims for fights
There are definitely multiple metrics for DPS too and I think that gets understated sometimes
so you just end up having a best average
theres only so much healing that is required at any given point.
correct, but wouldn't it also not be wise to find certain combinations that could have the theoretical upper limit of what the kit can squeeze out and then theorycraft situations after that
It's somewhat easy to model highest HPS overall, but that isn't always the same as minimizing overall raid deaths. What if a build is -5% HPS but much burstier? What if one does much better single target healing? Well that might be useful sometimes. Druid in particular is the worst for this
You can control where and how big your healing peaks in like 100 different ways
Similarly, what other healers do you have? What role are you filling?
What if the healing peaks are also high movement?
the most lethal mechanics in the raid right now are massive healing absorbs that go on 2-4 people
None of these are impossible, but they add noise, and so if talents are very close (and for druid they are) then you can end up with two very different builds (like Apex vs non-apex) that perform similarly and it's subjective which fits better into your healing strategy
I played apex on paladins because absorb healing good
yeah in my mind that's like what people were simming in the rwf guilds pre manaforge right for dps. like liquid was simming manual damage amps + pi for certain boss phases
sorry for asking questions, just newer at this coming from a dps tc background
Most dpsers sim for the wrong things anyway
all good
Modelling other healers is generally way easier than Druid. Druid has always been the most difficult for me
Especially when it comes to progression
An average player used sims with the same usefulness as a healer sim would be
yeah, but usually communities shore up these deficiences right. If players aren't looking to min/max mythic content they don't bother with sims was our thought for warlocks at least
so having the base was useful
to combat people claiming something was better
The base can have completely different answers in some cases
I think I wouldve played apex on paladins if I didnt have an alt mw playing sheiluns, hpal, and hpriest in my raid for it, I ended up just playing photo
Even this tier you have something like alleria and beloren
Is it worth using harmonious blooming for m+?
I'm willing to bet 99% of players do some dumb shit on beloren because they don't understand that you need to do dmg in a 30 second window with lust
When this new module is out you will be able to build your own ramps etc in the frontend and just play around with different sequences a lot more
that sounds fantastic
It is already working for a few specs and I'm going to add Druid next
It's a fine talent, depends on what you find yourself struggling with. It's nice to do a little more tank babysitting or if you swap LB a lot for single target hits.
this tier is crazy for dps, feral, ww, and ele would be insane right now by most standards and instead it's the meme 2-3 target messy spread cleave + burst aoe tier
Not a very major talents
But also this tier trying to "math out" talents is a lost cause
oh are you actually going hard on this, I wanted to try something like it when i was in school still but I kinda gave up after I realised how much effort it would be lmfao
We can't even do post factum attribution for some talents with a log present
like reglitchs ramp sim but for druid
I guess you're just more cynical than I am on that front, I think assuming players are stupid and stalling (not saying that's happening clearly with voulk's massive contributions) progress on TC seems a bit backward
Yeah it has always existed in QE Live but it's always been on the backend only
I dont even know what I would play to optimize for 3 target aoe + a 30s burst phase on most dps specs with modern talent trees too, like I could do that in SL
I did wonder that tbh, but thought id double check to be sure, debating taking r2 thriving vegetation or sticking with nuturing dormancy, but I think thats a more minor change too.
The progress on TC is there for dpsers, but players don't use the tools right
That's my point
I would say ND is undroppable
🤝
Simming single target 5 min is the default
yeah
however the apl's have massively evloved in the past couple of years
especially with the new functions the simc team has been implementing to allow for easier individual access to backend data
at least imo
I've seen a huge increase in diverse simming for guide writing
it's not as cut and dry as even like 2 years a go
yeah I've always been surprised that raidbots and its maintainers havent extended into fight by fight sim profiles each raid tier
but I get why that would be hard to maintain
they have actually
oh
but it depends on class
yeah I get why it would be hard to maintain
same honestly, I used it a while ago and I just find it so amazing. only other thing I could drop is nature's bounty but I like that too. Maybe i'll just stick to r1 thriving vegetation.
simc has been working pretty hard this expansion to streamline their functions iirc
so that more people can pet project stuff like that
Yeah I would use Nature's Bounty as the floater talent there
Honestly I've been trying to do the same. It's been fairly successful in pulling more people to the project but there's just always infinity work to do
not to mention blizz has been really fucking with their spell data recently too
it's been torture on that front
Voulk think about this though
Pull people to do classic work
And then do some real stuff yourself

thank you for this btw, I didn't realize how much of it was run just by you
Classic might be dead anyway, we didn't even get instructions for guide updates for the mini-patch
Right yeah
I'll support SoO then probably done
I wonder what the population is looking like right now
very grim
They put out too many game modes and split their own playerbase too thin
Partially but they also just never fixed glaring bugs
I don't think that was the issue
warcraftlogs also kinda killed parsing in tot
This content gap is just insane
is what I heard
Say I do this and changed to doing ranged dps and swap talents - how much of a dps loss is it?
Idk I just have a lot more friends playing TBC than MOP
Lei Shen (best boss of the expansion) is still bugged and free 6 months later
My guild always made fun of classic parsing
its a significant amount of dps
It's a big single target loss, AoE damage is fine
Because you need to read a rule book to understand what you are allowed to do
when the top guilds on classic are farming the raids on private servers for 5 months pre classic launch, it's all they can do lmao
Farm raid for 5 months pre-launch, lose "RWF" to bugged boss 
I know a couple guys in the "classic rwf" and it's just a full meme
That rwf is idiotic anyway
I went to wcl today and found 4 more questions about random bullshit adds on bosses
I have such low opinion on these players
good work
Like most of them are just terrible and stupid
in the better classic guilds it's actually closer to retail top 100 guilds than you think, although the crossover is pretty heavy
the pure classic players aren't usually fantastic though
Our guild is 50% the most "classic" players you will ever meet, and half retail top 20
its honestly kind of crazy how much more variance you see in player skill in the same groups in classic/xiv/gw2 compared to retail wow guilds
someone in my m+ group dipped and said he has to do karazhan in classic tbc
classic you legit find the worst player you've ever seen just vibing with like top 10 retail raiders
yeah that sounds about right
its kinda fun too
Don't think I'll ever do another classic run through unless they do WoD
Maybe Classic+ if it looks more like MoP than vanilla
I've seen people who were kicked from wr50-100 guilds now playing in classic wf guilds
I think ToT was fun
I kinda dig 10H, but yeah I dont think people enjoy farming all that crap out again
ToT was good and I'm looking forward to SoO. I just could never go back to SSC / TK etc
How crucial is healer DPS to timing keys in the range of 12 -15
not at all
not at all
I also did the first tbc rerun and didn't mind it too much. Wouldn't do it the second time
You will just be bored a lot if you don't DPS and it'll increase your chance of timing a bad key
yeah if you're comfy on a pull, just send some rips and rakes and starfires and whatnot, but if you're at all worried about someone exploding dont worry about it
Resto druid DPS only exists as a result of healing properly and efficiently, knowing the dungeons, like a "reward" of sorts. If you're asking this you gotta figure out how to heal the dungeons first.
Send Heart of the Wild in Cat Form regardless though. it does a lot of damage for minimal investment
resto druid dps owns because I play keeper in keys for 7k free dps from treants :^)
Are they planning to post their so-called tuning today

Can't wait for the 3 lines that will change nothing
No guaranteed tuning this week right?
Is there not?
It's only pvp tuning from here on out
i don't expect anything until the .5
I thought we had one more week
prot paladin and blood dk buffed by 300% at everything. bear and brewmaster and disc and aug removed from game
Ah fuck
Well, only two healers I'd describe as terrible rn
They could just aura buff them before .5, not sure why they didn't during last tuning
Hpal and rsham? 🤔
Yeah
hpriest not even on the radar anymore, so over
Paladin situation is ridiculous too
Some classic level shit where you need externals to gain a lot of throughput
Shouldn't even exist in retail
im astounded hpriest is this bad in a tier with like 70% ToF uptime too
like thats half the reason I would maybe defend disc's current state
When without form does it matter if I am targeting enemy or friendly when casting Convoke the spirits? Does it affect potential healing?
Nope
as dps you get a little more spells on that guy, but it shouldn't matter as healer
you do get a few more healing spells if >40 yards from an enemy but that is NOT worth actively going for
unless you are like a certified parse-lord
Is the floor for rsham and hpal higher than the floor for druid
I feel like I see a ton of really bad heroic druids compared
I know nothing about hpal, but resto shaman floor is at the bottom, it's just find a crit/vers set and press riptide, then unleash chain heal, keep up totemic totem
Floor as in output for least effort is what I meant I think
and all I know about hpal is holy light costs like 13k mana or some crap
hpal is paying hard for being manaless for 20 years
they even took away cocknball totem, which was probably the best skill expression shaman had
they even lost APT, so the only special thing that spec has going for it still is ascendance procs and spirit link, and AV (av is horrible without primordial wave)
Yeah was just wondering why druid looked so much worse at the bottom than the other 2
abundance is hard, especially w/o flourish to centralize it around anything
the what now
Paladin situation is blizz being 100% incompitent and stubborn, they know how bad the changes were/are and just dont care enough to fix it
they likely get a kick out of how much pally mains cry
cloudburst totem, it's also cbt
Average druid presses 30 rejuv cpm and 3 rg cpm
any grid2 users know how to disable group8 in raid
im in raid rn and i cant find the right setting
Sup folks, quick question, on crafted, should I be using sunfire silk lining or arcanoweave lining?
arcano
160k sustained overall HPS in a NPX, how even is this possible. This Brew must be drunk ughhh.
If you run Starfire and Circle of the Heavens does it make more sense to go grove guardian for keys since many wildstalker talents modify kitty form attacks?
you've set an interested premise to the question
I am not sure why you wouldn't just pick the best healing tree in that scenario
OK
ya it is quite terrible
no man its good
wdym
the cerebral skill expressive specs are at the top
just like god intended
Only 4 genius
is macroing bear form and Hotw together a very bad idea
only 4 genius
what do you want bear hotw for
increase maximum health on top of the armor in case of really high damage, seen some people use it in like that keys slightly higher than mine
I think you should just go regular bear form
save hotw for something more useful (damage)
gotcha
even if you do wanna hit it as a defensive, tying it into your normal bear bind would be wasted most of the time
so just send it on cat form
yeah
if you're really sketched out you can spec into ursine vigor as well
its a pretty big buff to bear form survivability after shifting
i'm working on react bear form anyway
keep in mind bear form is like absolute last instinct
unless you know for something will one shot you its way better to just use a healing global instead
you don't heal in bear form so it's awk
yeah
that's why ive found it difficult to know the right time to use it
when a pull isn't going well
if that gcd was regrowth maybe someone lives
yeah ramp the mech then bear it and cancel into a regrowth or something
Max health talents on bear last through caster form
Thats a good tip if you ever need
As in ursine and bear hotw
I like playing frenzy regen in keys
that's why i was told to use it that way
because it lasts even after leaving bear form
completely different question, this might be more of a fundamental thing with the way GCD works in this game
its been bothering me since i started playing this game but my GCD "resets" all the time, especially when i use swiftmend, queuing the next GCD feels weird and terrible due to that
idk if it's because of my 100 ping
like this. is this just visual?
i have no idea how like, ping interacts with GCD rolling in this game
it's at 75% of a roll but a new GCD starts instantly
this was happening before i got cdm or anything other visual ui thing, my action bars should be vanilla
what am i even watching
For lifebloom do we just keep it on tank and forget about it for the 3 stacks or is it ok to move it
Move it depending on healing needed
Can I get some thoughts on the differences?
I used to the left talents (in the left tree in the SS)
but ive tried out reforestation and it can be pretty nice. Why not boost our wild growth too?
Thoughts?
anyone using litany? wtm for triggering the on use? spam moonfire?
you generally don't have to spam it so fast like you do in ff like you want to keep doing actions yea but it's a little different
especially when you're doing like different things as opposed to just casting dosia
dosia
dosis
yea i don't usually i was just trying to make sure it was properly queued to test the GCD reset issue
like 100% sure i'm queueing the next one
and it's not just me being slow
i think its genuinely my ping to the server + high haste
i'm seeing people complain that the GCD animation doesn't work properly in that situation
it scales with haste but not haste + server to client delay
harmonious blooming spotted
what?
why would that possibly be a bad talent?
because mastery stacks heavily DR after 2
is there a graph that shows the actual?
its weird the literal top druid would pick it then, actually 97% of the top 100 take it.. hmm
thanks!
but what about the other things I circled?
TV is also good
you either play double TV or 1 TV and 1 NB
cultivation is horrible
unstoppable growth is horrible
does the wildstalker hot still give an unmodified 20% boost to healing?
is that why photosynth is still valuable?
doesnt photo cause it to apply blooms?

yes but that has nothing to do with vigorous creeprs
It is basically just 3% damage, 1.5% DR. It's technically slightly less but depends on how many of your specs play a lot of vers
not many
word on the streat is mw is m+ fotm
thank god
Notice how she has 105k hps
The only real issue with mw in keys is they need to think to do bosses and they usually go full brain off while doing trash as mw.
And that's been the issue since df
Also sometimes just playing raid heal spec is better too but they just love spinning so much.

it doesnt
nonono please ccare go swap mw
Hmm it's speed runs though again right, not great push format
Speed runs didn't always translate to push keys in the past
with every tert possible
is this getting gutted
Oh alright, I knew they changed to that but I thought they were changing back for Midnight
how is shaman so high
every season
like its 2nd every single season
do people like playing it that much?
ranged kick + skyfury
fits into phys comp which people love.
and you dont actually need much hps to heal title keys
They bring a lot and aren’t demanding
anyone know how many dawn crystals on lura with 11 people
People overrate utility sometimes, but there’s been a growing countermeme that says something like “utility means nothing, hps is all that matters” but shaman proves that wrong
always 5
thanks
big tip
for p2 you cannot get a beam bait if you hold a crystal
so have 1 person per group have no crystal so they always get the beam
so 1 ranged without
1 healer with
1 melee with
if everyone in a group has a crystal it'll go randomly on any of them
mdi is low keys again this time right? so you're for sure taking guardian and mw
hey guys, sorry if this has been asked before, my mouse overs are working with all spells except for ironbark, anyone know why?
Why do I see so many people take Fluid Form? Seems like theres barely enough time to stop healing and cat weave, so wouldnt this just save a gcd like once a min at most?
youll get a lot more catweave time as you improve/your group improves
is it better to lifebloom a melee in raid if the tank's going to be getting too far away to put efflo where it'll hit others?
its the opposite, fluid form saves you a gcd
or do you mean like never catweaving
yo, is there no way to swap your advanced coooldown manager based off of your STANCE**** not spec
Please god tell me there is
Theres plenty of time to damage in keys. You just have to recognize it
If you feel like you do not have time to get in damage globals in keys, you are definitely doing something wrong
i think it's not possible through cooldown manager but i think something like bartender would do it
not worth the effort tho cus rip and rake are energy based
Which node are you guys using in raid. I find Proesperity just so much better but idk if I am trolling
on higher keys do you keep lifebloom on the tank or on allies who need healing?
Think I should get rid of 1 of the points in thriving vegetation and get harmonious bloom for the extra mastery stacks?
No I'd just stick with what you have
plenty of time to dps seems hyperbolic
i mean, top keys are doing 16k dps overall
on a 20
that means they had a fair bit of time to dps
much more time in lower keys
found a 30k dps log
If you are finding yourself without time to dps im going to guess some or all of the following things are happening in some amounts:
- you are overpreparing for damage by layering an unnecessary number of rejuvs
- you aren’t casting enough regrowths during rot
- you are preparing too early for damage (similar to 1 but notably different)
- you are overreacting to low-moderate rot damage by overhealing and not recognizing you can sneak some damage globals in even while hp bars are dropping a little, provided a major mechanic isn’t about to happen that requires topped hp
wg into sotf gives you enough passive healing while you're rakeing if you're scared
i do think catweaving is tricky this season cus you can't track trash cooldowns
is there smth im missing about windrunner spire or is the damage insane in there
just timed it on a 17 and i was sweating practically the entire time
sounds fun
Sounds what healing should look like
Weird flex
yeah but ti was like verge of losing type of healing
It’s a healing heavy dungeon
im not saying it shouldn't be im just wondering if there's something i missed or if thats how the damage is in that dungeon proportional to the others at the same key lvl
relax
Im relaxed
People who push hard pre turbo boost are hardcore
im not raiding rn i got nothin better to do 💀
if you’re doing 17s, you’re in the top 0.3ish% of runners right now, of course keys will get sweaty
get an aug
if you have one and it still hurts your aug sucks
stops, zephyr, chrono ward, caut, rescue, source
Caut is huge in so many places
rescue isn't a shield anymore.
Yeah they removed rescue being a defensive. It’s just speed now
it clears snares and most key debuffs this season are tied to snares
actually not most i'm just overreacting
having another poison dispel is also helpful in spire since it was the mentioned dungeon
but in general aug is super helpful
adds a big layer of comfort
Yes. And it’s one of the easier healing ones in the pool xd
MTs hallway pull on a 17 had me contemplating why I do this in my leisure time
also spire is the worst dungeon to catweave lmao
poison everywhere and you can easily mistake the bottle throw thing with efflo
Also if ur dps aren’t prioing down the stewards and axe throwers they are trolling u
oh you're actually super right about the steward prio
i think people go big mob naturally and dont realize the stewards are the fucked ones
ty
Is it best to bind feather to convoke? I have this macro but i think i have to click it twice since convoke is a channel?
damn not working
the aug evoker decided to log our m+ and it said i did 99 for ilvl so now i feel better about myself. after mythic raid last night i wanted to change my character lol
You have to put the use 14 before the convoke cast
That said I don’t understand binding a haste trinket into your convoke. I personally prefer to shave that as an additional option to heal people rather than making a strong button even stronger. (I guess in raid it would make sense kinda only thought about M+)
/use [nochanneling] 14
/cast [nochanneling] Convoke the Spirits
don't forget the nochanneling
Eh, I feel like it’s kind of mid. Talking pure healing standpoint, AA, MC, SR, PoS are all ez. MGT and SotT got hands. NPX varies a ton but can suck. WS is kind of there in the middle… but I’m still finishing up 18s so I’m probably wrong.
For some reason NPX is my best dungeon by far… even though on paper some of the others should be easier.
And I still don’t know what this stupid 2 min debuff actually does
NPX varies a ton based upon pulls and people being smart
Still see DPS using defensives on dumb things instead of saving for what actually hurts
idk i put it to convoke cause just trying to linei it up with something for max usage
Yeah in raid that sounds logical. In M+ I feel like I overheal with convoke more often than not so I use on use trinkets kind of like an addition mini CD
yeah putting it to tranq or something means i gotta randomly thinkg about it and keep it nsync' etc.
I just press it when in need to heal but have neither convoke nor tranq for faster cast spam.
It’s not optimal for HPS of course but in M+ HPS maxing isn’t really that important as long as nobody dies
But I’m doing 16s so maybe in higher keys convoke will no longer be enough on its own
people in higher keys dont take nurturing dominancy anymore?
AA has spicy. Vex in AA has me sweating. And last two runs I’ve had tanks are pulling echoknights onto final boss after first set of smashes. Though apparently crawth is bugged sometimes and the screech isn’t putting dot dmg in some runs this past reset.
spire is shit
Yeah, I noticed the crawth bug
I swapped mine out for reforestation :s
Heya minna-san~ 🌸✨
I’m gonna let you all experience this week without my uwu pwesence… (dramatic anime sigh). I kinda feel like some of you are getting a lil annoyed with my chaotic raid energy—my callouts, my boop-the-snoot strats, and my constant “YAMETE KUDASAI” moments during raids 👉👈
So! I’ve decided to take a short arc break this week so you can decide… am I truly a nakama worthy of this guild… or just background NPC noise? whispers dramatically …nani…?
Anyway!! Wishing you all god-tier RNG drops, crispy clears, and many S-rank victories 💫⚔️
Ganbatte ne, my fellow raid senpais!! 💖
wont harmonious blooming be better/?
thanks for the suggestion
it wasnt a suggestion, it was more of a question
i put 1 point into regenisis
im not the best resto druid to be giving advice to people
i need advice
seeing stuff abt ND being undroppable but all top druids dropping it has left me confused
its fun to push the buttons m+ you are the only healer so do what feels smooth. no one to steal your heals
I took the point out of harmonious blooming cause vrocas said it’s bait
even vickman has dropped ND
oh it is?
why do they all take it then?
whats the logic in that if its bait
better tank healing?
He said to take nd over it
Mastery has dr after two stacks and linked a chart. If you scroll up just a bit you can see the chart
yep i saw it too
I think the logic is better single target healing
just confused why almost all of the druids in the top 100 take it
It was def played last season and was helpful w double target healing when we had double lb
I guess if your target has yet to have mulltiple hots, it's still big value to put a lb on it to help save ?
i could see this
i think the logic is that if you're moving lb on emergency, which is very common in keys, you have the extra mastery going on despite not having rejuv
if you have to emergency move lb to someone taking damage and they have no other hots
i've seen a couple high io rdruids and they barely rejuv before an event even with vi
you are just doomed anyway
i'm not justifying it but its the only thing i can think of
i was thinking the same thing. i havnt gotten much mythic gear yet so i have 140 crests just chillin
its pretty annoying to be capped on all crests and i still have some heroic gear i need to upgrade
crest system sucks
i have a 2h myth hast/mast and myth legs in vault, using 2h 285 crafted with hunt embellish. if i ignore the embellish, qelive says i should take the staff - if not, i should take the legs. how good is actually the hunt embellish, and also vs the arcanoweave embellish?
those are the two recommendations for embelishments
yes, i know, but is it better to take a 289 2h staff, than have crafted 285 with embellish? that's kinda the whole question, if it's worth, instead of taking 289 legs for tier.
If you still have heroic legs, you should absolutely take the mythic ones.
yes, i have heroic ones.
Then there is your answer, take the legs. The staff is minor currently in comparison. You would only take the staff rignt now if you had no other options
which staff?
yeh, okay, i think you're right. are there any sources of how much the embellish stats are worth? hunt vs arcanoweave?
spire of the furious construct, it's haste/mast, so quite bis
from skyreach
you will want a myth track weapon at some point... the question is if you're willing to chance seeing one again
exactly my point also. i will never see this weapon again. ;)
but the embellish is really good, it seems.
theres 3? haste/mast of varying ratios from m+
Yes i think it’s 3
2 heavy mast 1 evenish iirc
next week we can craft another item... so you could still have 2 embelly, which is what i would do if offered one i think?
worth setting that up in qe and seeing the difference
it's a hard choice, but qelive says the differences are around 1000hps, if you count the embellish
i more meant putting whichever your craft is going to be in and seeing where it ends up as a comparison to non-embelly in that slot with crafted wep
do you not have to have a myth track weapon for it?
i have arcanoweave on boots already, and i guess we will end up with two arcanoweaves later on
i don't know enough about the .5 patch
could be something to consider, thanks.
My plan for craft is 2 slot who will later take the embelishment and target weap (or trink)
I don’t know if mythic chimaerus is reliable in pugs
Hi, new resto druid here, could use some advises on mana issues. I'm currently doing 14-15, but my mana were draining way faster than other druid issue when i watch others play. Following is one of the log i did recently. Kindly advise. Thank you.
https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/WQDpmBPhVbfcZg8A?type=summary&fight=5
damn i didnt even see whisper of duskwrath on the wowhead trinkets guide lolol, is it that far below D tier? Seems decent
cast less rejuvs, cast most regrowths & WG's
meh its the only other healing trinket i have atm, also emberwing feather so w/e
Yeah, dungeon trinkets outside of one just aren't very good
feather n heart of wind

Vaegor is so good
is that on dungeon setting
Looks like it
vaelgor cannot be that good
I feel like vaelgor in dungeons is extreme overkill lol
you use a giga mastery on use and then what you're doing even more infinite hps?
90s CD is also killing me.
Would you play it as 120s CD then? Or use it without cooldowns?
Dunno there are quite a few situations in higher keys were even more einfinite HPS would help
It looks like Disc priest trinket setting
how much rejuvanation should i be casting? I often find myself havnig 7+ stacks when mech came, or when things goes bad
Not playing ND is one major issue here.
It gives your rejuvs +35% duration.
i only do m+, which point do i swap for ND?
I specced out of Natures Bounty in M+.
Most of the time I need spotheal on a single player. NB is not helping there.
It’s for me doing like 3% in dungeons maximum.
And I’d argue that my NB is very strong in raid.
ok i will try and see if things improve. Thank you for the tips
In raid as a 2 min cd. In M+ I press it when I need healing
Trying something like this these days.
https://www.wowhead.com/fr/talent-calc/druid/restoration/EAAAQVVUVVAVFBEUFJEHQCAQAA
But without ND it’s a bit more mana heavy.
7 stacks is fine but i think you're under casting SOTF rejuvs & extending germ stacks with swiftmend..
so do i just swiftmend and use up sotf to extend rejuvenation even if the team isnt in danger?
wanting to keep your innervate gets you kicked from the guild guys btw little update, dont recommend
And since your are playing VI. Your pretty much SM on cooldown
sounds like you're lucky to get out
If no one needs immediate healing. Just SM the LB target and eejuv after.
you don't have to trigger the sotf right away either. can just start the sm cd and hold it
This.
Especially when you know a funnel healing is coming
So you just have to move LB / consumme sotf and the target is safe
What guild is this so i can avoid
eu ragnaros wont say more
and we are on alleria
wanted to bring a hpala in for absorbs. and wanted to give my innervate for it. said no, linked logs, gave reasonable explanations and other solutions, getting a mw in for example. nope
they didnt want the mw in because hes bad and his first tier as healer. fair enough, said, pala can have my innervate p1 & p3 and got booted some hours later anyway

may i know what is sb?
sym bloom, your hero trees hot
and yes sm rejuvs, and especially try to target SOFT empowered rejuvs for VI value
Btw, we still fucked with targeted spells or is there a workaround (besides checking castbars..) ?
woah I disabled that addon its absolute whack 🙁 dont know of a better alternative
tyty!
Hey, i just got the Litany Trinket from the weekly chest. How do u best play around it in m+? I often dont have the time in pulls to cast the 5 harmful spells or is there no time limit for the 5 casts?
are you guys running verdant infusion in m+?
Use it during times of low damage. It will cover moderate amounts of rot damage on its own, allowing you to dps for those globals
I'll use it going into any pull that doesn't immediately start with a huge damage event
It's also extremely good on damage amps
Save it for the damage amp phase on the last boss of seat
And, if i'm correct, rip/ake dot triger the effect
You can consume it quickly with cat hotw
Hotw consumes it completely
It does not whenever I use them together
I bound them together with a macro
and still had to use 4 other globals
I do it in dungeons all the time but gonna check on dummies right now
Yeah test it, I'm like 98% sure it does not
because I used it that way at first
and it never worked
I also tried with convoke and only got one proc
Internal timer ?
Not sure why
yeah it could be that the macro is doing something weird here
Yeah possibly
You know what I bet it is, the animation doesn't complete before the hotw global starts
so the debuff isn't applied yet
They for sure changed that I've done like 50 keys with the trinket
Yeah I did a bunch of keys early on with that macro
and it never worked like that
but weirdly it's working now for me?
Idk
The macro has the same behavior that imris showed in his clip
Was this a change literally this week?
is starfire working again?
Is there a addon that track peoples defesnives like omnicd?
MiniCC as far as i know, just downloaded it yesterday but havent tried it yet
minicc... but its not very reliable
Ty for your feedback will try it that way
Thanks i have trouble tracking ironbark on mini CC :S
I only recently figured out the Targeted spells addons was out there.
It got "banned" if im not wrong reading the comments, but is there really not anything that can help me show who gets targeted by beams/bolts casts and stuff on them on my party frames besides looking at the nameplates castbar?
Wdym ? I have minicc and don’t have trouble for IB
Blizzard removed the workaround they were using to do that last week. As far as I know, no one has found a new way to do it and it's pretty apparent blizzard does not want that to be possible
So I'd expect if someone does find a workaround, it will likely not be permanent (but who knows)
The addon still works, but now all it does is show a list of casts. It doesn't dynamically attach to your unit frames
Iron bark there should stand
but the bug is fixed
But i can see evokers cooldown zephyr only scales
Btw, does the shields stacks ?
Don't wanna raid but if it does maybe I should farm it
You people use platynator ore Plattor?
Yeah. Could be great.
And i don’t see DK AMZ
But well at least i see personnals
Thanks for the information. It is quite rough not being able to see any of it
Can grove guardians body pull if a patrol walks near them?
hello guys, I have a question that wasn't answered yesterday. i see on murlok.io top player plays with starfire, moonkin form, sunfire AND rip rake and cat stuff, so my question is : why both ? I thought it was one or the other
I think ( I THINK, not confirmed sharing my thoughts), that our AOE dmg is so low that losing some ST to do any AOE is in their mind better than doing 0 aoe for a bit better ST
someone using the hottracker from @thorn plover and has the issue that it counts all rejuvs from all druids within the raids isntead of just yours?
could be for moonkin form for the heart of the wild, haven’t used that yet idk how strong it is i always use cat hotw
That's impossible, you can't track other people's hots
i got confused as well
but it showed 24 rejuvs stacks+ in raid while i hade around 10 abundance
i forgot to make a screenshot
are you sure it wasnt 24 seconds?
absolutley
i try to go into a pug and recreate it
i also relogged and it still showed it
anyway to sim my stats ? idk if i need mastery or haste
i got so lucky with my heroic from 4 dungeons done... just simmed. its like a 1.5% increase. thats absurdly high for one item as a healer
QE Live
Didnt know if I could check stat weights. but I did sim and it showed the gems/enchants to use so its did what I needed anyways
not a good way to see unfortunately
over 1300 haste, didnt know if it wouldnt be my best stat but it is
how much haste/mastery do you have? % unbuffed
mastery
I have way more haste than that
I got this ring so now i got lots of haste
I'm at 45% haste in raid
didnt even kill that boss yet. lucky find from my 4x mythic dungeon quest lol
holy thats huge lol
i do too but 35% feels really comfortable. its not like some magic cutoff though.
256/1315/766/103
dont got much secondary stats to lose. just need better gear with mastery
thats a huge ring btw
its insane. lur'a only heroic boss i didnt kill, and i get the bis ring from the 4x dung quest
yeah i pulled a bis trinket out of the cache on my aug, it felt amazing
such luck. i didnt even know the quest gave a random heroic. usually when i grind it in hopes for upgrades it never is
i was in vc with a friend and went "how sick would it be if i pulled the lura trinket"
yeah its only March loot
very pog
insane lol i would of been super happy with crown haste neck or locus trinket
i got this ring that i didnt even know existed
i think they figured most people wouldnt manage to pug heroic lura anytime soon so they made the cache strictly beloren + lura loot
Yes they can
put some haste into mastery on heroic crown prog since it’s just goin so long for mana but idk if it was the right call
dps aren’t clearing arrow stacks
Isn’t the fight capped to 10min?
With convoke and MS you shouldn’t oom there.
haste also increases attacks in catweaving for faster mana gain, but idk if that makes a big diff
Unless you misplay with too many rejuvs.
i dont convoke in cat, but 5 cp rip , hotw, bite, its a good chunk of mana for a few seconds
It doesn’t.
You gain more energy reg, but you can use 5 rakes + finisher almost without haste.
And you won’t do that several times in a row.
Actually you‘d never need to do that.
Just hotw into finisher every 2min.
Hey everyone! Can someone explain why, on some logs, people are using Convoke with less than 1 minute between casts?
(in raid)
Control of the Dream, KotG talent
Hi guys, I'm watching a pov of a POS +19 and the druid always use Wild Growth after a swiftmend. Is this correct? I was using a reju after a swiftmend.
tyvm ! 🙂
We reg 150k mana per minute in pve.
Your MS generally has a small influence.
On a long fight it gives you more mana to last for another 30s round about. It’s nice, but the impact of your playstyle is far higher.
WG has no interaction with SM now, that was last expac
If you play efficient you could last for 15min without MS.
But it's consuming the soul of the forest buff. 😮
that is to say, it doesnt do anything. you could SM WG Rejuv or SM Rejuv WG, its just for timing the WG.
No
no, it doesnt
Ty, he's probably too fast pressing buttons and I'm thinking it's been consumed by wild growth. Ty for the explanation ❤️
Maybe the player in the video used rejuv after wg - it then looked as if it was consumed by the wg cast?
Or an instant regrowth instead.
You can cast rg
before SW
and if you click sw fast enaugh
it will consume it
or maybe they fixed that
nope
they didnt
Blizz wanted to fix it.
Sometimes it does consume it, sometimes not.
It’s not reliable now.
I wont like it feels nice in m+
to sometimes do it
casting rg on 1 target and someone else takes dmg mid cast
so u spell Q sw and heal both
So it's situational how to consume the Soul of the forest, right? Sometimes applying 3 regrowth saves the party on a high damage situation
How does it have two sockets on it?
I rarely use sm rg but do it at times for that reason
Also if you sm rg and then rejuv the rg will cleave 3 but the rejuv will also get pota bonus just not cleave
And using wg before you consume your pota sotf is beneficial if you can as it'll buff your pota rejuvs from the wg/sb hots.
Usually wg is the first thing Im casting after lifebloom unless I'm moving
Ty for the clarification, I will change my rotation after that !
Does anyone have any advice on how to do more effective healing? I'm hitting my assigned ramp timings and spending Regrowths out of it, but I'm frequently seeing 35-50% overhealing on logs. It feels shit and my parse is shit. For Raw HPS I'm often top or 2nd on the meters, but on logs I'm often 3rd or last.
My guild is now getting into the later stages of Paladins, and I really want to be in contention for selection for Cosmo + the MQD bosses, but I'm concerned I won't get there with green parses
Thats normal
Overhealing part
Green parses tell us there is another problem
So how are Druids on logs doing 170k+ and 15% overhealing, whilst I'm doing 120k and 45% overhealing
Check the heal comp
If they have a strong evoker/disc/monk you wont be able to heal as much
Is there a midnight quazii profile for platter?
I've got a strong Evoker, Monk and Hpala
I was about to ask same thing, I killed Averzian Mythic yesterday in pugs, I did 120k hps but only 53 parse. Wowanalyzer tells me I'm good everywhere, nothing to point out. So idk how to get better
Well thats the problem then
I have a 99 parse on averzian
We are 3 healing it
Thats basically it
So its a case of tell everyone else to do less
My guild is even like not good
Top guilds 2 heal it
If you have a good healing team, no one will be able to parse
It dies way faster with good dps but you also shouldn't be oom
damn
ye I mean im doing it in pugs right
people dying and not dodging etc
but still
yeah my guild is ass and we 3 healed it easily
I even misplayed a lot that fight
But thats just because of pure damage
More stuff to heal with 3 healers
He quit and deleted all his UI stuff
Absolute king type shit
could u look at my kill real quick adn tell me if u spot some missplay somewhere?
wowanalyzer doesnt reveal shit
You can send it, sure
3 healers and good dps = good healer parse
im otpdruid
i got 52 cpm like u guys told me the other day, trying to press more buttons
but still not enough
8 more CPM to go
Your rg is pretty low
8 spells is a lot
So stuff that I would change is regrowth ratio to rejuv, tree uptime, no combat pots
Practically all of the reason for the CPM missing is recklessness pot
He can still hit 55 without reck
My logs went from 55 -> 60 with reck
we arent using Light's potential as resto?
No
I've dropped a clip as to what I think the issue is
You want haste to spread out the hots
damn
Im getting 56 without pot
How
@vast rapids
Subtraction
39 sounds kinda low
See in that clip I just dropped I'm on 12+ abundance stacks, hit a Tranq and convoke and sit at 120k hps whilst everyone else is 180k+
Can't count 51 cpm without germ
Convoke before Tranq + because of this after your tranq you only cast Regrowth on 4 people during the potential healing window and 3/4 of them already had a regrowth on them
Would it have mattered? The whole raid is topped before I've even finished casting the second Regrowth
Also, between 10 to 15 seconds I can’t tell if you cast anything in between your tranq and convoke while you’re moving for shield circles
Pre-Ramp your Tranq > Convoke > Tranq > slam regrowth on the entire raid
No I didn't I was moving there
Prioritising damaged raid members with HoT stacks
That’s 2-3 rejuv casts while moving at least
ABC, if you have downtime especially before an upcoming big healing window, ofc others healers will get the healing before you
You just mistimed and were ramping when damage hit
This shoulda been your Tranq
You hit it 5s earlier
Its assigned by RL to cover Searing Radiance damage
Tranq arguably the strongest healing CD in the game rn
Talk to them
Have a discussion about it being assigned to cover big damage events
Or just exercise your free will
You were already ramping/ramped for it, Convoke there and press some Regrowths and Tranq the shields
We're in discussion about moving Convoke anyways. Its not really covering much at the moment
Is there anything else glaring?
You did by far the most healing in this clip btw
You arent getting heavily sniped or anything
But at 20-25s into the pull you're just spam hovering frames faster than your Regrowth casts and not healing anybody
Subjectively it didn't feel like it
You arent doing any healing to people with absorbs, your Lifebloom drops ALL the time and you put it on someone different each time
I know thats an issue. I'm trying to slow down. Honestly I've got better
Thats also something I'm talking about with leadership. The consensus was to concentrate on the raid and let those with healing absorbs (monk and pala) sort those out.
Should I keep LB on myself? I read in this channel that if you do you limit self healing and leech which affects overall
I manage it better on myself, otherwise I'm looking for a ranged that stacked in the group which is why it jumps around
easy mode is to keep LB on yourself and always swiftmend yourself
With VI
No point gaming around leech, it’s just a pad number anyways
do I use reck pot at the same time as bloodlust (does it stack) or do I need to wait for lust to fade
Hi all, I am new to druid in general and want to focus on m+. I am currently setting up my spells, macros etc. How do you guys shapeshift? Do u use macros for that? e.g. catweave or bear. Thanks in advance! 🙂
fluid form and just press rake
Makes sense but how do you turn back to your "healing" form? Just by casting a healing spell? or any fancy macro?
you can cast a healing spell, press the shapeshift button again, or use a /cancelform macro
a healing spell is preferred because its something you need to press anyways
u should pot with cds, not necessarily lust but u can do it during lust fine
ty:)
what do your current convoke assignments look like? do you have a timeline?
We're using the Viserio wowutils sheet and an NSRT note
Current timings are 0:13, 1:08, 2:08, 3:15: 4:07 and then on CD after
Tranq at 1:03, 4:03, 7:11
thats good then, sometimes leaving your smaller CDs up to your RL doesnt bode well
I didn't decide those timings. We have a healing officer who is quite clued up
id just reiterate what face said in a slightly different way. if you consider your timings too rigid and don't adapt during the pull, you'll do stuff like sending your tranq 8s early.
yeah, im implying that is a problem
your RL isnt playing your class, you should know way more than they do about appropriate times to press your buttons
I prefer a bit of freedom with the smaller cd
