@late wraith as boomie do you just go all haste? i figured mastery would be better for kill pressure during incarn but legit every boomie on murlok.io is full haste

clear pulsar
#

Tranq cranks???

clear pulsar
#

Breh

#

Just HOTW

#

If you want fast clones

late wraith
#

face

stray sigil
#

this been known

clear pulsar
#

This is the first

#

Pvp I play this season

stray sigil
#

noob

clear pulsar
#

I only queued 1 game

#

To buy a pvp trinket

#

For convoke dam

#

I'm also perchance prob the best geared player in these lobbies

#

With 4p and 675 weapon

chrome panther
#

did tier feel impactful at all

#

as rdru

late wraith
#

tier is impactful for everyone cause you hear a little caching sound every now and again. it's huge. 10/10

chrome panther
#

you barely hear it as feral

#

only on apex procs

late wraith
#

i hear it i love it

chrome panther
#

as boomie its very satisfying getting so many mushroom procs

late wraith
#

dunno what it does doesn't matter caching!

clear pulsar
#

Ye idk its RNG heavily but it does a good chunk of healing

late wraith
#

yeah the healing is good on my little priesty from it

livid wasp
#

time to make shitty bloody token set shoulders I guess

chrome panther
#

maybe if we get tranq immune back garf

alpine fern
#

yo, do you guys know why most people still play tranq even though we lost the immunity bubble? is it just to have one extra hot for the mastery?

chrome panther
#

does alot of healing

#

and 20sec cdr on every other cd

alpine fern
#

ahhh i see. thanks 🙂

late wraith
#

does it go through los? is it like divine hymn

chrome panther
#

yeah

clear pulsar
#

Shit cranks

#

Half of someone HP in 3s sign me tf up

alpine fern
#

good to know. might be able to keep some people alive then :p

clear pulsar
#

Yeah one use, 5M+ healing per target

late wraith
#

it makes sense now why the druids i see running it are trying to hide behind pillars to use it

#

just like hymn

#

you gotta try to get as many ticks out as you can before someone sees what you're up to lol

tiny oar
#

go behind pillar and do our little resto druid schemes

late wraith
#

everyone stay safe i'

#

m scheming

tiny oar
#

LOL

late wraith
#

getting a full hymn channel behind a pillar is such a good vibe like hell yeah get owned. idiots.

tiny oar
clear pulsar
#

Thats exactly how I feel

#

When I finish tranq

late wraith
#

like you're doing a little crime and getting away with it

#

that's how pvp should always feel tbh

velvet quest
#

Yeah the crime is he’s playing rdruid

alpine fern
random patrol
#

had bear last night

#

not worth the effort

high tundra
#

are 2s unwinnable as 2 dps vs any comp with a healer

velvet quest
#

depends what the 2 dps are ull prob be like 300 cr lower than ud be if u played with a healer tho

late wraith
#

you gotta approach dps 2s with the mindset that literally everything is your counter and if you win you're a god and if you lose you got countered.

#

then it's very winnable. not actually you'll lose most of them but like not your fault so still a win

high tundra
#

i see

#

how is rdruid in 3s

#

my friends are begging me to heal for them because they keep losing 2s as dps

random patrol
#

twos is a meme bracket best to meme it play something one shotty or do dps plus tank

high tundra
#

i thoight 2s was the most competative bracket and doing well meant youre the most skilled 💔

#

anyway if i joined them we would be doing 3s instead

#

but idk whether to just play my rdruid or level a new healer for pvp

#

pvp healing seems to scary and bursty for HoTs but ive got 0 clue how rdruid works in pvp

late wraith
#

2s gets extremely sweaty and hard past 2100

#

but all of the brackets get hard at some point

tropic schooner
wintry jackal
#

also balancing in 2s isn't as great

#

as 3s

ancient crane
#

is there a guide for balance for solo shuffle?

lone zenith
#

Any recommendation how much haste and versa should i go for solo shuffle, before going mastery? As resto

nocturne nacelle
#

Do we wanna wear tier for pvp? 4 set?

mental crypt
mental crypt
#

Dunno I don't touch this spec

chrome panther
#

with 2p+sunseeker talented you have pretty insane uptime on mushroom slow/dot

nocturne nacelle
#

So 2p not 4?

chrome panther
#

id run both

#

like run 4p i mean.

nocturne nacelle
#

Hmm

#

Oka thanks

livid wasp
#

stray sigil
#

#

livid wasp

stray sigil
livid wasp

#

struggling at 2.1k mmr

stray sigil
#

i also was a 2-4 merchant for a bit

#

but since mmr got retained a bit

#

it worked out

livid wasp
#

I went 0-6 and 1-5 once you dont know how it feels on the soul

#

you feel like everything is going against you, the walls are toppling around you

As a bear druid, in silver shard mines, I feel fairly useless. As an off cart person, I don't have enough to assist my friends nor enough damage to pressure. I can CC, which I do, but it feels bad. I can spin the main cart, which feels fine. Is that my main goal as a bear there? Any suggestions?

late wraith
#

i don't think anyone in here plays bg blitz seriously but definitely the number of bears you're going to find in here are limited

#

most of us do 2s, 3s or shuffle on rdruid, feral, boomy and for some reason no one can understand, ww.

livid wasp
#

just play feral or boomy

late wraith
#

i think cherry's oasis discord has a lot of bg blitz people who hang out in it. it won't be bear specific but it might be useful to you

barren osprey
#

Feral tier 2piece + blood talons has been a lot of fun for me so far this season for pvp

clear pulsar
#

Your goal is probably sorta to be disruptive. Bear doesnt deal real damage so maybe you need to lean into heavily into keeping people out with vortex typhoon, the charge stun + cyclone and maybe catweave for maim even,

livid wasp
#

yeah you gotta be real supportive and play objectives perfectly to be a good asset as a bear

charred narwhal
#

Thank you for the advise! I appreciate it. I have a really bad w/l ratio on that map specifically.

charred narwhal

#

You can play a talent that makes your regular root instant or did that get removed?

#

I dont think mass root is useful in an offcart situation

charred narwhal
#

You can, which I did try, but the range is awful

clear pulsar
#

You can also just root people with wild charge

#

Which doesnt break on damage

charred narwhal
#

The range of root goes to 10yds with that instant talent

clear pulsar
#

Thats ok run fast

charred narwhal
#

ha XD

clear pulsar
#

Maybe not a great talent but yeah

charred narwhal
#

So far the other team has a bdk and he just kidnaps my other healer and I feel like what i can offer doesn't compare on that map. I think perahps just trying different talents and being more disruptive vs just focusing lava and have tankier / quick DPS go off cart

charred narwhal
#

The majority of the games I have played on Silvershard Mines has had a blood DK** (not in a game currently)

late wraith
clear pulsar
#

If you're in a fight maybe you try to bother the BDK

charred narwhal
#

Yea, very true. Good ideas! Thanks

hardy quiver
#

what are the odds rdruid gets buffs with the pve patch?

#

i feel like we might be chalked for awhile

chrome panther
#

unlikely

#

nerfs if anything

#

spec does infinite hps and has infinite mana

hardy quiver
#

yea im full Copium

#

hope we get buffed in pvp before awc jail hits

chrome panther
#

need tranq immune back if anything

hardy quiver
#

yer might be the first season i dont resub after one month

#

Assuming I’m bad, but in 2s I feel like I’m just damping everyone as feral. Normal or skill issue?

livid wasp
#

we are all bad apart from axtin

grand mesa

Fuji is used to be good but now he spends his time trying to snipe me in 2s at 1600 MMR

#

Zechey goes geoguesser pro?!

livid wasp
#

too unforgiving

tropic schooner
#

Just don't make mistakes

livid wasp
#

just remember everything about every country to recognize them

tropic schooner
#

Yea easy

clear pulsar
tropic schooner
#

there are a lot of trees in geoguesser

#

so if he learns to hate them all he can understand what is or isnt a polish tree

languid dock
#

anyone play rdruid in blitz? top rdruid uses Liveliness talent which seems useless beacuse we dont really benefit much from moonfire correct? there's just healing and hot benefits from casting wrath. 5% faster hots doesnt seem worth a talent point that low...why would I not just take heart of the elder druid for more damage and healing instead? or even forest's flow would be good. just seems like a useless talent. am I missing something that moonfire does in the talents?

also is efflorescence even an ability? seems dog shit. high mana cost, low healing. i feel like you only take it to acess other talents but dont understand why you would even bother casting it other than maybe on pure teamfight maps where people sit in same small area

open spoke
clear pulsar
#

Surely you just take master shapeshifter

#

Rdru mana is god awful

livid wasp
#

just take that new giant tree thing and win every game

#

jk no idea what it is or what it does

clear pulsar
#

And I'm sure you can play spring blossoms in a bunch of maps to maximize it even. Maybe a niche thing, but people occasionally do it even in arena when playing some turret caster comp like shadowplay, or melee cleaves that stay in 1 place.

open spoke
clear pulsar
#

Makes sense. Leaning into efflo is very strong if people ever stay in it yepyep

open spoke
#

master shapeshifter for blitz though hmm.. might have to try it, the mana refund on starsurge seems good

zenith swan
#

Clonecity = samiyam?

stray sigil
#

theres a fake one too

#

@clear pulsar

chrome panther
#

clear pulsar
#

He's just doing delve splits so he can go kill the underpin tier ??

#

Nothing to see here

stray sigil
grand mesa
clear pulsar
#

Wtf

#

Do you have infinite keys or do you just do them without keys for no reason?

grand mesa
#

i do bootyful delves everyday

#

until it's capped

#

level

#

and doing it on disc and rdruid means i get 8 bootful delves worth of exp

#

@clear pulsar

#

i unbound wrath as 1 on caster form

#

it is now shred

#

for fluid form

velvet quest
grand mesa
#

ur level must be nuts

stray sigil
velvet quest
#

no im only like 60

#

this is my first week being full mole

#

i was moleing so hard on my rogue i did 4 bountiful delves and didnt get map so i did world quests for key fragements to do another bountiful and didnt get map and then i did world soul thing twice for 2 more keys and still didnt get map and then i had to buy the summoning thing and i was pissed cause i wanted to minmax my undercoins but now im doing delves on my 4th char so i can funnel undercoins to my main next week in case i dont get map

#

mole person gigachad

late wraith
#

I did 1 fungal folly without being told I had to

#

So

random patrol
#

I did solo 11 at 609 with healing brann

#

brann is useless at level 23

#

didn't die once though so eh

grand mesa
#

But I do

velvet quest
#

im doing some proper schemes im sandbagging main and holding all runed crests until i can get 658 in every slot and then i insta send them and same on my alts with the discount and ill have like 3 660 chars rdy

#

plus a mage thatll still be 630

stray sigil
#

braindmgur

velvet quest
#

wrong im gonna be the next firedup ive gone through this phase every rwf but this time itll last more than a week

steady flume
#

Where do you find pvp guides? for rdruid specific?

vestal citrus
#

either cycling your drinks with other healers or finding ways to sustain is big

#

you do wanna be careful with trying to regain your mana with offensive play when rdruid is a certainly a ramp/maintenance kind of healer and falling behind and catching up burns significantly more mana than keeping people healthy in the first place

vestal citrus
steady flume
#

Whats the best way to get the rating for the full xmog set? Solo or bgs?

chrome panther
#

bgs

#

que as boomie

languid dock
languid dock
# steady flume Hellll yeah thanks

the initial queue for blitz dps is really long, so its better to do healer. but after a couple wins you get to same mmr as everyone else and its same queue time as healer

steady flume
harsh ore
#

is cap weekly or daily?

#

so x4 bountiful a day up to... 21? delves in the week?

grand mesa
#

idk but i do it on multiple toons so

#

by cap i meant brand level cap btw

harsh ore
#

im assuming

#

im no where near the cap

#

and can just do x4 a day

clear pulsar
#

Level 80 I think

grand mesa
#

its 80

harsh ore
#

but

#

isnt there a cap on how much exp u can get on him each week?

grand mesa
#

ur asking good questions i don't have answers to

#

rn im getting my delves to t11

#

so i can get the 31 gilded

#

on my druid

harsh ore
#

wintry jackal

2s are fun while gearing

livid wasp
#

I havent played games with 2 set yet

#

I am gearing my other druid now

wintry jackal
#

Oh

livid wasp
#

but it cant make that big a difference

wintry jackal
#

Idk when I was in full greens I was still pumping in 2s

stray sigil
#

doi you still not have 2set somehow zechey

wintry jackal
#

Fuji he’s trippin right

#

People playing at 2k+ 3s are telling me feral is strong af

stray sigil
#

feral is like top 2 melee

wintry jackal
stray sigil
#

its rog > feral

wintry jackal
#

Yea

stray sigil

Of your ability breakdown

livid wasp
#

I cant

#

not at home

wintry jackal
#

Oh

#

Idk if you’re gearing I would do 2s

#

Solo shuffle is like gambling

#

Also 2.1 isn’t bad for this early in season

random patrol
#

Im doing the thing I do every season and waiting to q until like mid season

livid wasp
#

blitz is gambling

random patrol
#

inflates starting mmr cause Im lazy as f

livid wasp
#

shuffle is all skill based

wintry jackal
#

Shuffle takes some skill ig

stray sigil
#

i could be 2.4 rn

#

but i am lazy

#

so i am 2345

random patrol
#

love shuffle could q it all day cept the q times are long as f

stray sigil
#

ive had short af q times this ssn

#

#

somehow

#

someway

#

but i also qd all my games week 1

#

prob does affect it

wintry jackal
random patrol
#

one time i had a 5 minute followed by a 1 hour plus

livid wasp

week 1 felt faster

stray sigil
wintry jackal
#

I hit 2370 on 2 Druids last season

stray sigil

random patrol
#

I just play other games or make gold

stray sigil

#

with negative iq

wintry jackal
#

You mean the disc fotm?

stray sigil
#

i mean every single healer

wintry jackal
#

Fuji do you 3s for glad and just solo on the side?

stray sigil
#

no

#

i havent qd 3s srsly in like

#

4-5 years

wintry jackal
#

Bro

#

If you’re casually soloing to 2.35k week 1 you could glad so easy

stray sigil
#

maybe

#

but i do not care

wintry jackal
#

Mount is ass

#

Tbf

stray sigil
#

even in df i did not care

#

3s is not fun

livid wasp
#

just do other stuff while in queue

stray sigil
wintry jackal
livid wasp
#

1-2 shuffles a day is plenty

wintry jackal
#

Dang I think you’re the first person I’ve met who prefers solo

livid wasp
#

thats like 12 games

stray sigil
#

into the same 3 comps over and over

#

and over

#

assa aff

#

thunder

#

jungle

#

POG

#

now this ssn is sp rog

#

arcane rmp

#

or frost rmp

#

i would rather cut my dick off

wintry jackal
stray sigil
#

its real

#

have u seen arcane sub rmp

wintry jackal
#

Yeah I get it

stray sigil
#

8min games

#

they cannot die

#

u get dampened by rmp this expansion

#

its wild

wintry jackal
#

They fucked up on disc in general imo

#

Way overturned

stray sigil
#

arcane is disgusting lvl of overtuned now

#

20s cd iceblock

#

cuz of the new shields

wintry jackal
#

Oh yeah

stray sigil
#

on a spec that already cannot die

wintry jackal
#

Overpowered barrier

#

They love mages

stray sigil
#

this whole thing

#

about specs that like u cant do sshit against cuz u cant catch them

#

is so toxic for the game

#

like u have to ignore dev/mages on certain specs entirely cuz u cannot get uptime

#

is a condimented design choice

livid wasp
#

rmp was never fun to face

wintry jackal
#

Idk I had a friend who climbed spriest destro last season into thunder and got glad

#

So it can be done

stray sigil
#

oh glad def is piss

#

got to 2.2 with a rdru and puzzles once a month enh shaman

#

on a spec i played for like 2 months

grand mesa
#

My enh was great

#

Showed greatness once every 5 games

#

Ben crashed once every 3 games

wintry jackal
#

Well I guess this is just an example of play what you enjoy

#

But tbf aren’t you still cooked if you solo q into an arcane mage rogue lobby lol

stray sigil
#

but its good with me too

#

so i get 2-0 atleast on paper

#

for free with arcane

#

rogs not awful

#

sub feels like shit on ww though

grand mesa
#

Fuji loses first 15s into sub

#

It hasn’t gotten better with duel gone?

stray sigil
#

i mean i dont randomly die in duel

#

but ww still dies in stuns

#

and sub is disgusting still

grand mesa

grand mesa
#

Nah new map tilts me

#

Why is everything Los

stray sigil
#

@clear fox never getting 4 hours

grand mesa
#

U got one shuffle

#

So it’s 3.5 hours left

stray sigil
#

u play healer

#

that wasnt a 30min q

#

pig fuck

grand mesa
#

30 minute game

#
  • queue time
stray sigil
#

wrong

#

0 shot those games lasted 30min

#

shut vale
#

QUICK QUESTION!!!! Elemental Focus Lens only requires 1 socket, and having 6 doesnt increase proc chance right?

grand mesa
stray sigil
#

so u had 5mins rounds every rounds in shuffle

#

@grand mesa am i reading this correctly

late wraith
stray sigil
#

we need hook point in shuffle

#

real?

#

fuck casters

#

real

late wraith
#

gonna be so real with you bestie

#

i play so little shuffle i did not realize it wasn't in there

#

i knew dalaran sewers wasn't

stray sigil
#

idc about sewers but hook point is melee map

#

u guys get tolviron

#

why cant i get hook point

winter pollen
#

we thinking wildstalker is better than grove guardian for resto blitz now with the mastery increase?

chrome panther
#

nah

winter pollen
#

still grove? any reasoning?

chrome panther
#

vibes

winter pollen
#

the symbiotic blooms is an extra 20% healing, and the grove guardian gives 5% extra healing per tree

chrome panther
#

this spec is piss in blitz idk

winter pollen
#

so seems like the symbiotic blooms are better healing now

chrome panther
#

i just play boomie

winter pollen
#

I've been doing pretty good, almost 2100

#

1 more win away

stray sigil
#

pretty sure even last ssn

#

wildstalker

#

was more hps

#

so i assume kinda similar

winter pollen
#

the only talent that makes me lean more grove is 8% damage reduction if regrowth is on you

#

that seems nice

#

but im typically not focused a lot in blitz and if i am its easy for me to kite or get away with travel form

chrome panther
#

well u play tree in blitz so

#

tree hps buff big

winter pollen
#

the new ancient of lore right?

#

the new ancient of lore is like 30% of my healing right now lol

chrome panther
#

Ding does shrugeg

winter pollen
#

im using the perk that makes tree of life cooldown reduced by 5 seconds when a grove guardian fades too

#

it makes me able to use the tree pretty much everytime i need it in a team fight

winter pollen
#

I see people using energey redstribution beacon but isnt that shit for resto druids because it only applies to regrowth?

shut vale
#

does recrafting a ring with a socket, remove the socket?

wintry jackal
#

Yup

#

If it’s from last season

random patrol
#

that's how it's supposed to work yes

velvet quest
#

thats not how its supposed to work its an oversight based on a fake precedent

languid dock
hardy quiver
#

Beacon feels good with the tree pvp talent ngl

livid wasp
#

how to play wow without tilting

clear fox
#

shuffle obviously

#

very chill mode

#

nothing to ever get mad about

tropic schooner
livid wasp
#

its so hard

chrome panther
#

help im in full greens

static steeple
#

wow

#

resto 4set with pvp nerf is still very good in arena

#

the rejuvs it procs even work with thriving

clear pulsar
#

Yeah it does

#

And if you ever get WGs out of it that helps proc WIldstalker withotu using mana on manually casting WG I guess

winter pollen
#

Should I get 2h weapon for mastery or haste as resto druid? I only do battlegrounds.

#

mastery is king this season right?

winter pollen
clear pulsar
#

I'd go mastery. More haste ooms you faster too.

wintry jackal
#

Shuffle is a toxic ass mode and there is skill to it as you get higher but let’s be real most of the time it’s a healer duel with dps occasionally influencing the game at lower mmr

livid wasp
#

its only fun when you win

clear pulsar
#

DPS have by far the most agency in shuffle

random patrol

best part of dps in shuffle we fuck over the healers trying to go 6-0

#

lit never let the healers win

wintry jackal
#

Even at 2300+ mmr last season on 2 ferals I was playing with dps who would reset drs (clearly weren’t looking at DRs) and legit treating PvP like a mythic+

#

The majority

tropic schooner
#

its pretty clearly true, however also not relevant for 99.9% of the playerbase

wintry jackal
#

If you are playing with healers who don’t rotate CDs well at low elo where people legit don’t know how to PvP you lose

tropic schooner
#

reason being it true is that the very best dps players have higher rating then the very best healers

wintry jackal
#

Yeah I think it’s a different story when you climb

tropic schooner
#

so if you are better then the other ppl you have a higher chance to win as dps

tropic schooner
#

therefor they will have around 50% winrate

#

so the agency for the roles isnt relevant

#

because you compete with equally skilled opponents

wintry jackal
#

I also think the rating difference is due to how healer mmr works which they are rightfully complaining about but that’s a separate issue

clear pulsar
#

I think it's just an expectation of how people play thing. Healers dont start to play aggro well and try to outplay enemy healer that way until some idk X level of rating

tropic schooner
clear pulsar
#

So there's very rarely even any skill expression in how they play

tropic schooner
#

ehh

wintry jackal
#

CD trading and throughput is essential in zug zug matches where DRs aren’t being paid attention to and CC chains are a miss

tropic schooner
#

properly playing safe and back while keeping LoS is also skill expression just different then aggro

wintry jackal
#

Yeah I lost my last match to hit elite in shuffle cus Hpal wanted aggro on an aff lock and my frost mage wanted to sit back

#

And I’m feral so I’m just getting eaten alive in the middle while our hpal is eating cc

tropic schooner
#

yea happens

wintry jackal
#

So aggravating

#

It’s why I will play shuffle but idrgaf about it

#

And will always prefer 2s or 3s

tropic schooner
#

but for me thats a lot less frustrating then solo games

#

if other ppl make mistakes or tilt a lot less tilting then me fucking up my micro again

chrome panther
#

Just knowing your DPS rotation will get you to 2.2k mmr in shuffle shrugeg

#

cr*

wintry jackal
#

I also hate solo as dps cus you can’t just “go again” and try and correct or hope you get better teammates

wintry jackal
#

Which is why it’s a healer duel half the time

tropic schooner
#

just gotta pump

wintry jackal
#

Idk I like wow PvP gameplay and will solo, but solo shuffle should have been solo q into 3s bracket

tropic schooner
#

absolutely not

wintry jackal
#

It would just make people play more 3s

tropic schooner
#

yea to farm shuffle queuers and get absurd winrates

chrome panther
#

puzzle can verify I do indeed storm bolt 1/4 DR

#

still got 2250 just slamming my face into the keyboard playing fury mrowing

tropic schooner
#

so you have to cap mmr even harder which is frustrating or have basically only games played be relevant

#

would be absolutely stupid solution and wouldnt really fix any issues, which mostly is the queue time for dps

late wraith
#

I got hit with a 0.5 second stormbolt I honestly didn’t think they went that low

#

I was impressed

stray sigil
#

have not seen any good healers

#

other than meta

#

this a myth

clear pulsar
#

Yeah

#

So how can healer diff be a thing

#

If they're all just bad

#

DPS has all the agency

stray sigil
#

games decided by which healer is shittier

#

ong

#

all the agency in their hands

livid wasp
#

if you are good enough you can carry the shittiest healer

stray sigil
#

if they dont press

#

nothing u can do

#

if they want losed

#

they get losed

livid wasp
#

they are never that bad

#

maybe at 0 mmr

stray sigil
#

lol they are

#

im 2.5 mmr rn and healers are still airhead

clear fox
#

@clear pulsar how does prosperity work

#

it feels like im getting too many swiftmends

#

to they cooldown independently

#

or am I just like never wasting cd time now or something

clear pulsar
#

Maybe you're getting good renewing surge value

#

Hard/impossible with just 1 charge

chrome panther
grand mesa
late wraith
#

blessed

#

keep up the good work varughh you're doing amazing

chrome panther
stray sigil
wintry jackal
lime light
chrome panther
#

idk how this drooler spec got buffed as much as it did

static steeple
winter pollen
static steeple
#

sweet! thanks for confirming

clear fox
#

@clear pulsar since they haters do yall play wildstalker or keeper in raid

clear pulsar
#

KOTG in raid

#

WS just doesnt scale with target count well

#

I dont have numbers for the healing proc chance exactly but it behaves the same way. This is the expect proc increase from having Rip on more targets.

clear fox
#

So it’s a damage thing

#

Vs hps

#

In shuffle wildstalker just feels better

#

But hard to put numbers on it

#

And it sets mana on fire

clear pulsar
#

Wildstalker does a lot more healing in 5-man

#

It just doesnt scale up to healing 20 people

clear fox
#

Feels like that’s somewhat predicated with actually having 5 targets for wild growth and having higher efflo uptime than is typical for PvP ?

#

I mean it certainly feels better, but might just be the actually feeling like swiftmend does something

clear pulsar
#

Yeah implant is big

#

Do you have 4p?

#

I wonder what type of uptime you get on WG in pvp

#

With 4p only

#

No manual WG casts

clear fox
#

I have 4 set

#

Been trying wacky shit today

#

But maybe should be playing normal idk

static steeple
#

wildgrowth is usually 6% of my healing in arena (from 4set proc + treant)

dark ether
#

Could someone shoot me a feral pvp spec? the current one in the pins is out of date.

hardy quiver
hardy quiver
#

I don't play feral so I can't give a recommendation but that's how I find good specs for classes

dark ether
nocturne nacelle
hardy quiver
#

kind of the same thing but the one I linked lets you pick and choose what you want to see from the top of the class

hallow acorn
#

Has anyone gotten a chance to try out 4 set for boomie?

random patrol
#

def go 4 set for chicken

hallow acorn
#

Yeah planning on doing it 🙂 just wanted to hear if any of the NA players have gotten a chance to play with it 🙂

livid wasp
#

disc frost mage warrior

#

how do you even beat that

#

you have warrior going on you

#

you cant really go cc the disc cause you have only one charge and you have to hit mage too

#

do you just go warrior idk

#

but then you let mage freecast

#

and its bad too

#

what do you do

#

and I play with a ww who can barely hit him

livid wasp
#

maybe you gotta position differently when killing a caster and ccing the healer idk

#

baiting the caster closer with pillar around their healer or something

bronze coyote
#

so whats pref comp for 3s for rdudu? or what type of classes you guys prefer?

#

can prob make a lot work but ive mostly been solo queueing

sinful wraith
#

yoo, what is the hero talent tree we spec into for resto pvp these days?

clear fox
high tundra
#

do we press efflorescence

hallow acorn
static steeple
#

there's also an old build with disentanglement + verdancy + spring blossoms if you're running double immobile caster (shadowplay)

#

but only luxia plays that

high tundra
#

i see

#

thank you both :)

#

what should i be focusing on to main rdruid in arenas?

#

i play it in pve but obviously there are differences

#

and are mmarkers guides good or is his playstyle not the norm

stray sigil
#

this patch u cannot kill mages

bleak zinc
#

as feral do we get 4 piece or 2 piece

static steeple
static steeple
high tundra
#

I see

static steeple
#

even if it's old, the general arena stuff is still relevant

high tundra
#

alright

#

do healers in pvp only press their healing buttons

#

or am i gonna be trying to catweave/cast spells at all

static steeple
#

no catweaving, cept maybe in 2s

#

but in 3s ur spamming starsurge for a mini flourish proc (pvp talent)

high tundra
#

ah okies

static steeple
#

gotta go bearform when you know you're being switched to. pop travel form to avoid rep/polymorph

#

getting out of combat to stealth in catform and drink

#

stuff like that

#

watching nogard and dannycarry is super helpful since they ONLY play rdruid

high tundra
#

do they stream or is there a youtube i can watch

static steeple
#

and unlike m+ you're actually mashing rejuv a lot

#

yeah they stream, one sec

#

i think nogard is subs for past boardcasts but danny isnt

high tundra
#

is ancient of lore still bugged?

#

i dont wanna be accused of abusing

static steeple
#

it's bugged?

high tundra
#

it gives damage immunity

#

instead of reduction

static steeple
#

hmm, i was definitely taking damage in that form earlier today

high tundra
#

mustve been hotfixed or something

static steeple
#

yeah

high tundra
#

it was bugged for a bit at the start of the season

static steeple
#

typical blizzard

high tundra
#

is bear form a good defensive as is or should it be paired with barkskin

static steeple
#

bearform is good as is, especially with the talents

#

i take ursine vigor vs double melee that can easily switch to me (DH/DK/Monk)

#

but definitely barkskin no matter what if they pop cooldowns

high tundra
#

aight

static steeple
#

if a rogue looks your way, insta bearform

high tundra
#

i was pretty low rated last season i peaked 1800 in shuffle as feral and rdruids would just drop all 3 treants instantly is that optimal or a waste

static steeple
#

sometimes they need it lol, rdruid was so bad last season

high tundra
#

i see

static steeple
#

they were probably scared of incarn and wanted max healing buff from harmony of the grove

#

ive def been there

#

idk how good rdruid is rn, i like new tree and 4set but disc is insane

#

i think with the right comp it's fine

high tundra
#

i see

static steeple
#

definitely good in 2s

#

(always good in 2s)

high tundra
#

what is the right comp

static steeple
#

something like shadowplay (aff/sp)

#

ass/aff

high tundra
#

i have a friend who will only play warrior

static steeple
#

hmm

high tundra
static steeple
#

warrior mage is good

high tundra
#

what makes certain comps good or bad?

stray sigil
#

is still fine

static steeple
stray sigil
#

can prob rmd wwmd

#

but ur kind of a dampener

#

as a rdru

#

double melee def not a thing this ssn

high tundra
#

ive only played shuffle

static steeple
stray sigil
#

try play monk

#

vs rogue mage

#

jungle

#

etc

#

u cant play

static steeple
#

ah, i actually havent ran into jungle or rogue mage yet

stray sigil
#

rog mage an abomination this ssn

#

cannot lose

static steeple
#

what spec are mages playing?

high tundra
#

what is jungle

static steeple
#

jungle is feral/hunter

stray sigil
#

frost or arcane both are good

#

arcane is completely busted

high tundra
#

ahh

stray sigil
#

frost too but much less so

static steeple
#

arcane doesnt die

#

lol

high tundra
#

what does wmd mean

static steeple
#

war mage druid

high tundra
#

oh that makes sense

static steeple
#

def find an arcane mage

stray sigil
#

u can do frost mage wmd

high tundra
#

i keep seeing comp names and getting so lost

stray sigil
#

and perma play for drinks

static steeple
#

with clone and polymorph, u can set up pretty cringe 1v3s

high tundra
#

how do uou get chance to drink in an arena

#

i feel like everyone is attacking everything at once

static steeple
#

you put on hots, you right click treants to disable, get out of combat behind pillar

#

go cat form, drink, then stealth

stray sigil
#

its pretty easy lol

high tundra
#

ah

static steeple
#

@high tundra as a healer, u have to always be the hardest target to reach

#

we have 2 talents that buff cyclone range

stray sigil
#

u play like the chinese play

#

u play 45

#

do nothing but drink

#

and dampen ppl

static steeple
#

also definitely get used to cyclone people who pop cds or cloning people when they are low health to avoid getting a burst heal

#

then switching the clone to healer

high tundra
#

dampen meaning?

static steeple
#

dampening is an arena mechanic

#

healign gets reduced over the course of a match

stray sigil
high tundra
#

ohhhh

#

i see

static steeple
#

druid loves dampening

stray sigil
#

extend the game

static steeple
#

@stray sigil how's feral/sp rn?

high tundra
#

should i just hug pillars?

static steeple
#

yes

#

make love to the pillars

high tundra
#

neobsjpdv okay

static steeple
#

LOL

stray sigil
#

feral sp also good

high tundra
#

what do i do if theyre spamming cc on me

stray sigil
#

sp like 2nd best caster p[rob

#

after mage abomination

static steeple
#

meld, ancient lore, pillar around in travel form

#

mass root

high tundra
#

i feel like a warrior lands on you and you get stunned 50 timed before you can leave and then they trap you with the spear after that

stray sigil
#

fps rps wwps prob all good

#

dh sp also

static steeple
#

if ur in spear, just NS into ancient lore

high tundra
#

is travel form good for movement or just breaking roots

static steeple
#

both

#

also for avoiding poly/rep

#

definitely have a cancelform macro

high tundra
#

i do

static steeple
#

which u prolly already have

#

yeah, u played feral

#

honestly just play feral LOL

high tundra
#

snkvdjpvdoh

#

yeah

#

i managed to convince my friends to get into pvp but forgot they both play dps

#

and they are used to me playing healer in pve

static steeple
#

gotcha

#

ull be fine with war mage druid

#

i feel like war sp should work

#

havent touched that since SL

high tundra
#

is it always war + caster

static steeple
#

if it's not a double melee meta, yeah

stray sigil
#

and mayb turbo

high tundra
#

why is double melee bad?

stray sigil
#

cuz every spec in the game

#

does 10000x more aoe naturally

#

so ur a melee cleave

high tundra
#

ahh

stray sigil
#

u run at 1 guy

high tundra
#

yeah

stray sigil
#

but ur getting cleaved the entire time

#

so u have to get healed 2x as much

high tundra
#

i see

#

whats the ideal lifebloom placements

static steeple
#

if they are focusing one target

#

put one on yourself

#

but with 4set, i honestly leave both on dps mostly

#

procs so many freakin hots

high tundra
#

i have 0 set rn #noob

static steeple
#

oh god

high tundra
#

i havent touched pvp yet this season

static steeple
#

rdruid is like, not even a class until 4 set i feel

high tundra
#

damn

stray sigil
#

u go from mid

#

to prob good/very good

high tundra
#

i knew insurance was good

stray sigil
#

once u get 4p

high tundra
#

i see

static steeple
#

4set ur def gaming

high tundra
#

whats the quickest way to 4ser

#

set

#

am i doomed bc i used my catalyst charges in pve

static steeple
#

well

#

convert pve to pvp

high tundra
#

you can do that?

stray sigil
#

well u have 3 charges rn

static steeple
#

u can add pvp ilvl to pve gear now

high tundra
#

oh

stray sigil
#

u should do lfr

#

and pray for some tier drop

static steeple
#

check the conquest vendor

stray sigil
#

and u have 4p

static steeple
#

yeah, even with lfr, u can use that shit low ilvl gear

#

and turn it into pvp gear

high tundra
#

is it the same price as buying conquest gear?

static steeple
#

i got 4 set from m+

#

10s are so easy

high tundra
#

i see

wanton ridge
#

conquest prices always end up the same no matter what you do for a specific slot

high tundra
#

whats the conquest cap rn?

static steeple
#

2600 i think

high tundra
#

chill

static steeple
#

so u can get weapon

high tundra
#

do you still get a free weapon

static steeple
#

yup

#

for 2500 conq

high tundra
#

do we craft any slots

static steeple
#

i started late and had high mmr. going full greens rdruid vs 4p gamers was not fun

stray sigil
#

jewelry

#

w.e tier piece u dont take

static steeple
#

dont take chest

stray sigil
#

and eventually prob all off pieces

static steeple
#

but if u get chest dropped, use it

high tundra
#

i have enough honor to get full honor gear

static steeple
#

just for 4set

high tundra
#

is the war mode stuff good too?

static steeple
#

yeah get full honor

#

war mode is very good

#

can be turned to tier too

#

certain conquest pieces dont give mastery (wrist, belt) so u can get warmode instead for now

#

also warmode back with giga mastery is bis

high tundra
#

alright

#

is it worth turning war mode gear to tier?

#

if i dont get lucky in raid

static steeple
#

yeah

high tundra
#

alright

static steeple
#

the 3 ilvl diff is nothing

high tundra
#

the only tier i have rn is head

stray sigil
#

is with wm gear and a pve piece

#

unless ur full pve

static steeple
#

2 set is still pretty good

#

so try to get that asap

high tundra
#

aight

static steeple
#

i think head and legs are best

#

as for embellishments, i have no idea what's good

#

ppl use the 2% health one, vers over 80%, ascendance, etc

#

some ppl use the vers weapon one

high tundra
#

alright

#

i know some people use power redistribution beacon or whatever its called

static steeple
#

yeah

#

i THINk it's the most used one but it sucks on druid

stray sigil
#

its fine when ur in the tree

static steeple
#

should proc on thriving :L

#

would prolly be op lol

high tundra
#

overhealing should be converted by 100% into cleave damage like nature's vigil thoughts

static steeple
#

yeah druid would get banned lol

high tundra
#

sjdhoihepveohce

static steeple
#

honestly the biggest thing for this season is remembering to starsurge to proc forest guardian

#

im forgeting all the time

#

it works really good with bloom procs so try to make sure LB is never falling off

high tundra
#

im used to juggling around LBs

#

pvp healing seems fun

#

i dont have to worry about optimising catform uptime and rotations

#

i can just heal

static steeple
#

i feel that, just be ready push for clones since damage is kinda insane rn. full hots is meh

high tundra
#

aight

#

do comps always matter

#

or is it something thats only relevant above a certain point

static steeple
#

depends how crazy to meta is

#

rn it's hard to tell cause not everyone has 4set

#

plus u can make something now, awc happens, then it's nerfed lol

#

getting high rating on rdruid last season required a master's degree

clear fox
#

faaaace dumb question times again

#

@clear pulsar why is regenesis so piss

#

if youre stacking 12 rejuv

#

to shotgun abundance fueled regrowths

clear fox
clear pulsar
#

Idk cuz the devs are goofy

#

Talent just does nothing

#

Linear increase, you never reach max benefit

#

And healing people from 70 to 90% is as valuable as healing them from 20 to 40%

#

There's no reason to think healing at low HP is particularly valuable most of the time

clear fox
#

WHERE POINTS GO

#

for troughput

clear pulsar
#

Wild Synthesis and Verdancy for me

#

I'm a huge Verdancy believer

clear fox
#

I wish

clear pulsar
#

WS is not impressive but it synergizes with Photosynthesis

clear fox
#

people would stand in the thing

#

which then I guess

#

also throws in some tier benefit
