when they open on him

static orbit
#

Is verdant better than oath of the elder for 2s

#

Can only craft one of those and im rly lost

brazen lake
#

Yes easily

#

Verdant is the best resto leggo for arena by far

sly meteor
#

how's the swiftmend lego in pvp so far?

static orbit
#

Ok thanks

royal sedge
#

Is Eye legendary still best for Feral PvP?

obtuse marsh
#

Are most people necro for feral 2v2? I kinda wanted to go fae bc it's good for other specs too

tardy hare
#

everyone is kyrian or NF

obtuse marsh
#

OK cool. I'd prefer NF so glad it is a viable option

#

Thank you!

how is verdant is best legendary?

#

why not dark titan

somber cedar
#

Would Draught of the deep focus be a decent leggo in 2's? (and does germination profit from it?)

fresh estuary
#

Which armor slot is best for verdant?

#

Hands or shoulder?

frosty ravine
#

Any good balance druid pvpers live on twitch atm? Maybe @vestal citrus ❤️

#

😄

dull apex
#

if i buy a gladiator item now at low rank, will it automatically grow in ilvl when iget a higher rank?

umbral oar
#

no, but when u get the rank, u will be able to upgrade it with honor

dull apex
#

ahh ok

#

expensive?

#

or maybe thats the way it works for everyone?

#

they buy ilvl 200 then upgrade for honor, even if ur 2k?

white sun
#

as a boomie in 2s do you hard cast a lot or mostly just dots and SS for dam?

#

Yeah I can see that for sure if I am freecasting.

#

Also, how in TF do I get away from a dk spam pulling me lol

forest kite
#

How are you guys finding NF in pvp over kyrian? still deciding between the two

#

For balance*

white sun
#

its amazing if u can set it up

gleaming knoll
#

is more agility better than verse?

#

like what would be the trade off

#

1 agil for every 10 vers or somethjing?

vale crystal
#

Balance of all things still the play for balance in arena?

static orbit
#

Hey How does Floral Recycling conduit works with the swiftmend legendary ?

jaunty fog
#

You guys liking vers/mast or vers/haste for balance?

exotic wolf
#

vers/haste

devout frost
#

but not bad

dry star
#

I'm playing with a prot paladin in 2v2, and a lot of our games vs another healer I end up with like 60% of the damage of the other dps at the end of the match

#

do you guys see something similar or am I playing horribly wrong

#

(as feral)

daring sparrow
#

What secondary trinket are you using for PvP as Resto? The ON USE Intel? Proc Intel or HP one ?

radiant geyser
#

How good is Feral rn in PvP? I was wondering cause Feral is historically quite squishy and arena rn seems quite bursty.

remote cave
#

It;s pretty good, still squishy though

stone rapids
#

Hi guys, I'm looking to the most ranked Balance druid in RBG, and some of them use Fury of Elune. What do you think about that ?

primal glacier
#

Fury of elune is good for extra burst when you press your cd’s, but I would guess some of them are playing solstice in the bg’s and logging out with fury after playing arena

stone rapids
#

Someone even use full moon in 3v3, at 2K4

devout frost
#

yeah they didnt

#

might have just swapped to the talent

stone rapids
#

fury is good in arena?

devout frost
#

if u know how to use it and have the comp for it

primal glacier
#

Fury is good when you are doing a setup-based comp because it gives you an extra starsurge during your burst window

stone rapids
#

i'm playing with a Disc in 2v2

devout frost
#

solstice is a lot easier

stone rapids
#

okay i see

#

and full moon? can it be good?

devout frost
#

no

#

New moon is a 4s hard cast

#

when do u cast that

stone rapids
#

this guy play it

primal glacier
#

The problem with full moon is that it is such a long cast and if you get kicked it locks you out of both spell schools

stone rapids
#

yeah i cant disagree

devout frost
#

no proof of them playing with it @stone rapids

#

just that they have it talented

stone rapids
#

yeah true

primal glacier
#

If it didn’t lock you out of both schools then I could maybe see using it but not how it is now

stone rapids
#

but at least he consider it i guess

devout frost
#

doubt

stone rapids
#

i just love this spell so much 😦

#

i'll try fury in my next arenas, thanks guys

bitter mountain
#

is verdant infusion the best legendary for resto in pvp ?

radiant geyser
#

What is the recommended leggo for Feral in pvp?

remote cave
#

Eye of Sym

dense vine
#

what conduit for feral

candid moth
#

people log out in the weirdest talents just to fuck with people like you @stone rapids

#

they giggle when they read it here then

#

some might not even care, or rather play one talent for WQ or duells, you dont know if they ain't streaming it

languid knot
#

Does anyone know a good addon for floating combat text?

wind delta
#

dreambinder chest with vers/haste as boomie, right?

rare tendon
#

Idk, I don't think full moon is that bad. There is definitely a strat for it. I'm not saying its baseline or anything, but itll hit for like 18k if you get it off, so they are forced to relieve pressure from your healer. Or line, which also reduces pressure. Basically the same concept as Gpie last season.

azure canopy
#

pretty new to resto druid pvp. running the HOTW leggo. stuck at 1600 rating. any reccomedations on a different leggo and also ferall aff vs guardian aff? Thanks. Nightfae btw.

eternal charm
#

Guys what is better balance or feral for pvp?

#

Im playing balance with a 182 ilevel and doing poorly, i get focus everytime and cant do nothing about i

livid wasp
#

cocoon is so fucking stupid its even untargettable sometimes

tiny oar
#

Verdant infusion is what most r1 rdruids are using atm, for affinity depends on bracket / matchup, for 2s I play feral almost every game except into double dps comps, for 3s usually guardian aff into melee cleaves or rmx but u can get away with feral aff vs like double casters or caster and slow melee war ret etc. I run well honed instincts for another defensive cd as well @azure canopy

#

Wont be a very different experience as feral from what I've heard, just play whichever you're more comfortable with, they're both fine dps wise. @eternal charm

azure canopy
#

thanks mate, is there someones armory i can look at for gear and talents and such? @tiny oar

obtuse ice
tiny oar
#

@livid wasp I learned today there is a name plate for it when it procs, it's just bugged to be like 20 feet in the air lol. I just use the weakaura that screams kill the pod all over ur screen.

clear pulsar
#

Balance is super nasty rn

#

Feral's very good too

livid wasp
#

I have a weak aura for that but it was literally untargettable

#

I clicked on it and it didnt target it

#

then I just left arena cause its pointless

tiny oar
#

Kubzy metaphors minpojke nogard are all solid rdruids to look at @azure canopy

dusty lagoon
#

Bear main wanting to learn pvp this exp by spamming lfg 2s. Is now a good time to learn resto or with how bursty the game is or would dps be better for a newbie?

clear pulsar
#

Healing is generally more difficult to pick up in arena than dps

#

And resto druid isn't the best healer in the game atm so if you have no preference, I'd say give the dps specs a try, but try resto too it doesn't matter, if you like it you'll improve more/faster

tiny oar
#

Also a very rough time to be learning rdruid in particular compared to last expac

#

But yea whatever u like most is what you'll improve at faster

#

See above names for good streams to learn from

dusty lagoon
#

ty

tiny oar
#

O they're all in the pins now bless thymes soul

dusty lagoon
#

i was thinking resto just to get lfg groups faster and therefore more practice

#

oh nice

patent dove
#

Out of those streamers literally only 2 play rdruid anymore

#

Everybody else went shaman

tiny oar
#

I see 4 that still play but rsham definitely their main focus now ya

#

Idk what the eu lads are doing havent seen their streams in a bit but assuming they're also shamans or priests

clear pulsar
#

Boo fucking hoo

#

Gorecki plays every healer, trille's main warrior but plays every class in the game at one point or another over the season.
Minpojke, metaphors, flop, lyanne, dadmompls, nogard have all streamed resto druid this week

#

There's also mmarkers who's not rank 1 but multi glad

#

Not in there

tiny oar
#

Yea like theres definitely not a lack of resto druid streams

Hi all, having a hard time deciding on covenant. I prefer flexibility because i like to do all content so nightfae seems to be the best option. from what im reading, kyrian still has the better damage output. Is kyrian really a game changer? if anyone can give some input, what swayed your decision between kyrian / nightfae, thank you!

twin iris
#

Went fae bc convoke smacks in twos. Not hard to get a few seconds of CC off on two people at once which is usually long enough to completely nuke one person and nearly the other

pliant siren
#

kyrian boring

#

dont play it lmao

gusty cape
#

other thing is im playing kyrian on my monk, so i may just go fae for the rp

#

min maxing sounds like kyrian may be the best but how much better could it be

#

also reliant on your soulbind

clear pulsar
#

Convoke enforces good practice on your burst windows

#

But

#

Idk Kyrian isn't really any more or less boring

#

You can play around the window and set up with cross cc for it just like Convoke

#

It's just a damage buff

#

Convoke is just a damage spell

gusty cape
#

yeah

clear pulsar
#

I guess Convoke has nice little visuals

#

Kyrian is reliable, solid, always there, good damage

#

Night Fae is the generally great across the board for pve, but it's fucken rage inducing for me in arena

gusty cape
#

the rng?

icy rock
#

As far as conquest gear goes, do I need to remain in a specific bracket to have the ability to upgrade the gear? Or can I simply hit 1600/1800/2100 once and get to upgrade to that ilvl for the entire season?

forest kite
#

@clear pulsar balance is op on pvp

devout frost
#

@icy rock u need to be in the bracket to upgrade the piece but it wont downgrade once its been upgraded

clear pulsar
# gusty cape the rng?

The random targeting really. RNG on the spells is fine, the gambling is kinda the draw of it right? But I can't stand cycling thru cds and trinkets for 2 mins only to get a full Convoke off that does 35k damage to the Earth Elemental or the hunter/lock/dk pet.

icy rock
#

And as an unrelated question, what is my ideal opener as a rdruid against rogue/mage teams? I will typically start with CW and fleshcraft to get the CD’s rolling, but I feel like I’m dying to a rogue with full HoT’s, bear, and barkskin. I used to try and get a rake stun to stop the first gpie but I get switched to instantly and blown up.

clear pulsar
#

It happend like 3 games in a row the other day, full Convoke casts on triple CC setups that didn't kill anyone cuz it dumped 3+ bites into pets. @gusty cape

clear pulsar
#

Vortex, stuns

chrome panther
#

partner needs to peel/apply counterpressure.

clear pulsar
#

The biggest nerf is just to Echoing Reprimand, but all that means is that now subs use it 'properly' i.e. to get 7 CP double Eviscerates @devout frost

devout frost
clear pulsar
#

It dunked on the healer didn't it

#

Garbage fucking spell

devout frost
#

yep yep

#

even got the full moon proc

clear pulsar
#

Idk Full Moon does same dam as Starsurge tho, even less if you have Dreambinder right?

#

It's just better for the visual impact

#

And the ASP gen

#

For afterwards I guess

devout frost
#

yeah its same dmg but its generates ASP and is aoe

gusty cape
clear pulsar
#

Yeah loved getting a Full Moon on HOTW Convoke as feral in dungeons

#

I am feral @gusty cape

devout frost
#

how would they get bites without being feral

gusty cape
#

oh tru, im thinking boom

#

in the back of my head

clear pulsar
#

Full Moon + Starfall Convokes big dam in m+

devout frost
#

its even worse for boomie than for feral

#

imo

clear pulsar
#

It has more variance yeah

#

It has a higher peak tho

gusty phoenix
#

what specs are best to push to 2100 with rdruid with?

clear pulsar
#

Cuz Starsurges do like 40% more damage than bites

devout frost
#

i would rather be venthyr than NF as boomie

clear pulsar
#

LOL I'd love to see a venthyr druid pushing rating

#

It's garbanzo beans

devout frost
#

u just unbind ur covenant ability its EZ

#

would only use it for the 25% reduc

#

and maybe the disorient

clear pulsar
#

Tru

#

Better than Necrolord

#

Fleshcraft is so worthless

devout frost
#

necro will get better when meta isnt so fast

#

esp now that affli got their bugfix

rigid coyote
#

i wanna play necro with circle of L&D

#

LSD2 in 3s

#

that'd be aids

devout frost
#

but since blizz say they like current speed of meta

#

idk

clear pulsar
#

It's not that impressive for feral but boomie dots do a lot more dam than my bleeds so I guess it's ok for you

#

Issue with Feral dots is Rip is a finisher so you're actively taking away from Bite damage. For Boomie, you just put up 2 dots as builders and still dump all your resource on Starsurges.

solid cipher
#

Hey, I am playing balance in 2s with a hpala.

  • Which would be the best legendary for this ?
  • Any tips for facing ww/healer and warr/healer, can't seem to win any of those, especially if the healer is a shaman
forest kite
#

@clear pulsar wait i thought kryian is best for pvp ?

clear pulsar
#

Yeah ofc

#

I mean it got a slight nerf but it's still bis

devout frost
#

we arent discussing them as being best

clear pulsar
#

Night fae is good too tho

devout frost
#

@solid cipher dreambinder

forest kite
#

What does night fae get you ?

clear pulsar
#

And you know, it's just a game, I'm trying to have fun with different setups

#

It's called dreamweaver you absolute REEE @devout frost

devout frost
#

i personally find kyrian superboring

#

but feel forced to pick it

#

🙂

clear pulsar
#

Phial with the 8s immunity after is sooooooooo bis

forest kite
#

@devout frost why forced lol ?

clear pulsar
#

It's not

#

Check again

devout frost
#

cause it's the best for the content I do and i'm not gonna bench myself for a tier because i dont get to build abominations @forest kite

forest kite
#

I see

devout frost
#

lvling a dk rn so i can go best covenant

clear pulsar
#

#1 necrolord feral parse is #500 or so overall

#

Out of what, 1000 total parses that feral would have each fight

#

Yes

Thanks

inland marsh
#

Verdant the pick for resto?

lime light
#

kinda true

icy rock
#

@inland marsh verdant + necro, stout

upbeat iron
#

any1 tested draught or apex in arena as feral?

inland marsh
#

Probably...convoke is too much fun though, can't do that necro

clear pulsar
#

Apex is ok, kinda like Iron Jaws. When you get nice procs it feels impactful af, some games you get no procs for 2 mins tho. @upbeat iron

#

It's ok tho

forest kite
#

To me karyan is best for pvp

dire pulsar
#

In tips in 1v1 as feral vs sub rogue? I have to trinket first cheap shoot, and even than i am at 40% hp in 2 sec. I stunt him after and shapeshift in bear and activate thorns and regen, but he just kill me through that lol like wtf. If they mess opener or I get more cc out the fight is still difficult.

upbeat iron
#

Ok! I mailny plays 2s and i thought draught could be kinda nice to test with moonfire spec. havent crafted any legendary yet, and i dont have the tigers fury one yet

clear pulsar
#

Draught currently doesn't buff moonfire from Lunar Inspiration

upbeat iron
#

oh, that sucks

clear pulsar
#

Blizzurd devs kek

forest kite
#

@clear pulsar I pvp as balance ?

clear pulsar
#

Why are you taggin me bro

forest kite
#

I love tagging o.o

clear pulsar
#

Idk what you're asking

forest kite
#

Im asking is Karyin the best covenant for pvp

chrome panther
#

yes

lime light
#

yes and no

#

Night fae is broken, if u can use it properly, or if u find a way to pull it off

#

also NF is way stronger in 2s

#

than in 3s

chrome panther
#

also convoke is probably going to get adjusted

lime light
#

yes

#

next nerfs i would say

#

boomkin 100%

#

convoke

#

arms

#

ww

chrome panther
#

I thought arms/ww was bad until i fought one with a 233 wep

#

absolute nonsense.

lime light
#

doesnt matter

#

what weapon they have

#

i dont think so it scales that insanly good

chrome panther
#

nah i can heal through 200 ilvl warriors and wws

#

its not too bad

#

my last 2s match, the warrior was 205 avg with a 233 wep, pretty much 100-0ed me in 3 globals

livid wasp
#

impossible to pass 2.1k as jungle with all the ele shadow priest cancer

stone nest
#

after talking shit about people complaining about boomies convoke ive decided convoke for boomies need a nerf

#

shits broke

lime light
#

even for fera;

stone nest
#

na

#

way more melee interupts and stuns

clear pulsar
lime light
#

u are an ape

#

u get kited a lot

#

so u dont hit every malee

#

like u do in pve

clear pulsar
#

Weapon isn't just for melees you dingus

#

Spells scale with weapon damage

lime light
#

ofc its not

#

but its a big part of its dmg

#

KID

#

stop

clear pulsar
#

It's literally spells scaling with weapon damage

round topaz
#

what are feral druids here spending their conquest on?

lime light
#

ring or neck

#

or both

round topaz
#

true

#

not worth to save for weapon?

turbid pendant
#

do u think they ll buff rdruid in pvp ?

clear pulsar
#

No

open verge
#

I think rdruid will be really solid

livid wasp
#

didnt ion say that theyre done with pvp changes for now or something

#

so I heard

loud moss
open verge
#

once they nerf a few more

dusty sphinx
#

Don't think there's much to do about rdruid, they simply don't play nice with the current burst meta.
They'll probably become amazing once this settle, since their kit is really good

open verge
#

@livid wasp got a link to that, it would be interesting

livid wasp
#

just a rumor from someone

clear pulsar
#

@open verge don't take it seriously

random light
#

yeah rdruid feels really bad right now unless you played cc heavy comps like RMD, Godcomp, Cupid
RMD bad place now with sub rogues being gutted and doesn't really work with sin
Godcomp really good with a frostmage (good luck finding one)
Cupid (if they can't find a disc)

generally it feels like every good rdruid comp is better with a rshaman or disc

junior plover

Vault wep

livid wasp
#

random light
#

Does someone have info on what the best boomy legendary is after balance of all things nerf?
Is it still BoAT or are there better ones atm?
Timeworn-dreambinder is looking pretty good to me right now, even though I don’t know how well we’ll be able to keep it up.

undone cobalt
#

yeah i missed BoaT last week so im wondering the same thing

loud moss
#

Got a question about trinkets. Is set bonus still significantly better than having this?

#

Pretty much my first day PvPing as resto so got no clue how strong set bonus actually is so dunno if I should spend any Honor on it.

hidden mortar
#

Does anyone know by chance if the swiftmend legendary increases timer on the target you cast swiftment on or everyone that has your hots?

stray sigil
#

@livid wasp bang the ele

livid wasp
#

they just have some weird oneshot thing every 1 minute

#

its really scary

#

and weird

#

dunno how it works

stray sigil
#

2.5 mmr thats what we do and that comp feels like the easiest thing

open verge
#

@random light it was never boat supposedly, it's dreambinder

clear pulsar
#

Only the target @hidden mortar

hidden mortar
#

Thanks

#

just gotta gaspedal hard in opener

#

we get everything everytime

livid wasp
#

yeah probably

stray sigil
#

stun ele on ur go and cover sp

#

literally feels like the freest comp

clear pulsar
#

They can do so much damage with just Lava Burst > Earth Shock > Lava Burst everytime they get enough Maelstrom

stray sigil
#

@clear pulsar u ignored me again last night

#

dmg is scripted

clear pulsar
#

What u mean

stray sigil
#

u see skyfury

clear pulsar
#

Oh at 1am

#

I was fried bro

stray sigil
clear pulsar
#

Sudden Ambush is fine but probably not your best unless it's higher ilvl

stray sigil
#

u dont love me anymore

#

its fine

clear pulsar
#

Tigers fury / bite / conflux depending on ilvls and your talents/legendaries

#

TF one generally bis

#

Predator Circle

stray sigil
#

apex

clear pulsar
#

Bite one then, especially since it's tyrannical week

random light
#

@open verge hmm wonder why? Did some thinking instead of just getting the answer.
GCD: 1.5 sec
Moonkin aura = +12% crit
Incarn (3min cd) = +10% crit
pretty easy to get 8% base crit

+20% base crit
+40% crit from legendary meaning ...
+60% crit first cast, (1.5 sec) +52% crit second cast, (1.5 sec gcd - 3 sec after first cast) +37% crit third cast
So you get on average 2/3 starsurge crits

with 190 ilevel
non crit starsurge = 3500 - 4500 on players ~ 4000
Crit starsurge 8k - 9k on players ~ 8500
8500+8500+4000 = 21k in 4.5 sec = 4,666 dps
If you play with a arms warrior that also does 4k burst dps 800 dps transfered to your damage about 5400 dps as kyrian

clear pulsar
#

You rly just bond yourself

#

Tbh

#

Idk exactly what you're trying to compare

#

Kyrian to Night Fae?

open verge
#

I think its boat vs dreambinder

clear pulsar
#

Boat is literally only there for the one setup where you pop Incarn

keen vault
#

@loud moss if that heal works in pvp at full value it is worth

#

let us know, Cdew was trying to get it

spark tusk
#

All praise our lord and saviour the full moon

clear pulsar
#

Full Moon does less damage than Starsurge

#

A Starsurge there would have done 30k

wide wagon
#

lmaooo

dusty sphinx
#

But you won't get a sexier finish than dunking someone with moon

open verge
#

dusty sphinx
#

Clearly

If I died to a Full Moon I'd be shook way more than dying to Starsurge

small storm
#

whats the pvp upgrade system like

clear pulsar
#

Buy gear > upgrade

small storm
#

buy 200, costs and levels of upgrades?

clear pulsar
#

Upgrades cost honor

small storm
#

cost? change per slot?

clear pulsar
#

Conquest gear upgrades cost quite a bit

#

Yeah change per slot

small storm
#

i couldnt find a table online

clear pulsar
#

The cheapest slot will cost like 8k or so to upgrade to 226

dusty sphinx
small storm
#

#

also

#

anyone else getting this bug?

#

cant queue or even open rating bc it says i need max level

feral urchin
#

get lv60 noob

dusty sphinx
#

I haven't seen the bug myself, but it's been mentioned here a few times so you're not alone

clear pulsar
#

It's just mike that mentions it everyday @dusty sphinx

#

@tepid spoke did you ever say anything else about why you think Convoke got stealth nerfed?

junior plover
#

Convoke feels nerfed because people have so much versa

#

they dont pop anymore

small storm
junior plover
#

Like today

#

I caught a resto druid at 60% hp in 5s maim

#

and convoke wouldnt have killed if not for 5cp bite right after

#

: (

#

kinda makes me wanna go kyrian

#

Because sometimes it'd kill from 100% but sometimes it wont from 60

wheat estuary
#

still more fun

clear pulsar
keen pasture
#

@junior plover upset one spell didn’t kill someone from 60% lol

clear pulsar
#

Ah nvm

#

Right after

#

I mean

#

It's not necessarily vers or a nerf to Convoke tho

#

You gotta actually test these things paying attention

half lance
#

what is a good legendary for guardian rbg?

clear pulsar
#

To how many Bites it cast, how much damage the Bites did, enemy DRs, etc

stone nest
#

Convoke on feral seems to require more luck than a boomie

acoustic nebula
#

Have up your bleeds so it won't waste cast

stone nest
#

Im resto so it’s whatever but I will say feral convoke seems way more balanced and requires more set up than boomie

clear pulsar
#

It's only because Starsurge does more damage than Bite

#

It's nothing specific to Convoke

stone nest
#

If you can get a 4 second channel off as a feral you deserve to do the big damage

placid mirage
#

I just like it when I call kill target and my convoke kills the other one

#

Beamed the healer and convoke, he trinket and walked out and died

forest kite
#

What would be the best arena comps for feral, 2s and 3s?

clear pulsar
#

Feral + any good healer in 2s

#

Rsham disc hpal rdru all fine

#

Feral hunter / feral ret / feral spriest prob can do work too

#

Same things in 3s

#

Also feral mage priest

#

Kitty cleave too

#

Players > comps tbh

jaunty obsidian
#

circle of life and death still an okay legendary even if not necrolord with adaptive swarm?

obtuse ice
#

yes

I don't think anyone that's talked in here previously has used NOW for resto, no. Does it work? @crude minnow

#

Does Memory of the Natural Order work as a feral?

stone nest
#

Restos are already pretty tough to kill.

#

The biggest issue is healing in burst windows

crude minnow
#

Good point. Doesn't help with your team getting plowed. I might craft it for guardian so I might try it out

forest kite
#

dark titan or verdant infusion for resto 2s?

stone nest
#

I crafted oath and the extra ysera healing is kind of nutty sometimes. Also gives the extra frenzy regen every minute (if guardian aff), 10% damage reduction, an addition 5 yards on cyclone is nice and 15% movement speed.

anyone know how the best way to farm Arch-Suppressor Laguas for Memory of Symmetry?

devout frost

you cant farm it @inland bear

#

its a 100% drop chance

inland bear
#

and he didn't drop the Memory

supple path
#

only drops floor 3 and above

clear pulsar
#

It doesn't drop from a particular boss

#

It's from a particular wing

devout frost
#

it drops from soulforges 3+

clear pulsar
#

Yeah

#

100% drop rate, but you ahve to do the ring wing in the right layer for it

#

The adventure guide tells you where each memory drops btw

pine pecan
#

do you guys use symmetry for pvp or the one with 40% more rip/rake dmg on 1 target as feral?

inland bear

lusty oar
#

What's a good 2s comp people are running? Looking to climb again. Reached 2k in legion queuing with resto druids or disc priests. Guessing either is still viable?

clear pulsar
#

Wowhead says it drops from that elite just like it says it drops 25 other legendaries, including other druid ones, because the final bosses are random and some of them can be selected in multiple wings. Wowhead just pulls data from players looting mobs, and the memory comes as loot from the final boss.
Symmetrical Eye drops from Soulforges layer 3 or higher, like the Adventure Guide, or Wowhead guides, tell you @inland bear

#

Now stop wilding ok?

#

Have patience if you missed it the first time

devout frost
#

@lusty oar we have no idea what spec ur asking questions for

#

double resto isnt a great 2s comp imo

It's insane actually

They literally had to ban you from queueing it

Just cuz it was so insane

#

hello guys for feral druid which slot u craft your Eye of Fearful Symmetry legendary ?

#

i cant find that information on resources tab 😦

upbeat turret
#

i picked the same slot as i would craft a legendary for the other specs so i picked helm for both my guardian/feral legendary

tidal thorn
#

hmmm i was thinking the same for balance/feral same slot

#

but snoopy craft it on head item so i thought is there any big diffrences

#

guess its not tho

clear pulsar
#

It's a very small difference either way

upbeat turret
#

yea not much differnce if you plan on playing balance also

#

i would just pick a slot that lines up with the balance legendary

ok i will do that , and thank u for information ^^

I feel like im doing something wrong with feral. I have decent items but my arena dmg is thrash.

clear pulsar
#

Feral's very good rn

#

It'll be difficult to point out what you're doing wrong with feral. You can imagine that we don't really know what it is that you're doing.

#

I think more specific questions regarding specific things would be better for people to answer

#

And if you have videos or could stream/record games and stuff, that's always great help for you to watch yourself and improve, or show other people too

will this work?

slender spear
#

With feral, am I supposed to deal good dmg, or am I a support class that deals meh dmg but heals and uses cc

clear pulsar
#

That's not much of a thing, everyone does everything to win games

slender spear
#

I can never win agains comps with healers because classes like monk will eventually kill me or my healer but I can never do the same

clear pulsar
#

You need to crowd control the enemy, either peeling if you're not their main target, or to setup for your own damage windows

#

And everyone does the most damage they can

slender spear
#

Yes but whats the most dmg feral can do

clear pulsar
#

There isn't 'support' or 'damage' specs, obviously other than the classifications in-game

#

A lot

#

Ok to answer your question, yes you're doing things wrong, feral is very good rn, big damage, can win a lot, rough matchup into arms warriors and windwalker

slender spear
#

Yes I have good dmg during Incarnation and Convoke can kill people instantly but if i cant get a kill with those 2 im basically useless

clear pulsar
#

Just remember it's not a pve parse race

#

Chain crowd control on enemy healer, watch DRs tho, etc

#

You won't kill anyone just spamming damage spells every global onto one target, no spec will

clear pulsar
#

It's the same cd as Berserk but 10s longer and with a Rake stun attached. Not worth the talent slot for such a small upgrade unless maybe if you're playing double dps and games are ending on opener everytime

slender spear
#

How about th level 50 talents?

#

Ican never decide between them

#

Blood talons is basically a 30% dmg upgrade

#

But feral frenzy gives a good burst damage

clear pulsar

I just default to FF all the time everywhere tbh

#

Cba with the new BT I'm still salty about it

with the right legendary you can make yourself tanky at the expense of your own damage

loud wedge

That dosnt really sound worth it though

exotic wolf

there's a endurance conduit that pops frenzied reg when you drop below 40%

#

you play bear affinity

  • the honor talent that makes your bear form heal 20% more while u get 10% less magic dmg
#

then you are pretty tank imho

forest kite
#

Resto guys how are we feelin about DTL vs Verdant?

#

Nevermind saw it

#

I'm also trying to feel this out but I'm 197 ilvl right now, trying to start pushing rating. What are some healers at 1800+ running for your vers %?

hoary ledge
#

Can we earn a higher ilvl of innate resolve to increase that healing value? Not finding anything on wowhead about progressing that specific conduit

fleet raptor
#

23% vers

coarse ferry
#

What bracket are you in Kal, 3's? I'm at 20% and personally find anything less isn't really an option in 2's. I couldn't imagine fighting HPal/WW at or under 15% vers for example

forest kite
#

Talking 3s primarily

#

And I've been doign a shitton a pve as that's what my friends are doing

#

So I'm at like 5% vers at a 197 ilvl

coarse ferry
#

Yes it's fine. Lego won't make it break you for awhile, also depends on your bracket. RBGs,2s,3s etc. You'll want a few Legos of you dabble in all rated content

forest kite
#

So I'm gonna grab shoulders and boots first, cause those are two peices that are big ilvl upgrades and no vers currently

#

I have a 210 DTL right now

#

Cause I also do a bunch of M+

#

And that was the happiest medium with arena

#

Plus a 190 rejuv spreader for raid

#

Is haste/vers stat prior for rdruid? or do I want crit?

#

*prio

coarse ferry
#

You'll get insta deleted at 5% vers my friend. If you want to push I'd at least take oath lego and I hardly ever recommend that one for 3s

forest kite
#

preferred 3s would be verdant?

dull aspen
#

Anyone stream boomy pvp?

forest kite
#

What about Circle?

#

Circle of Life/Death?

coarse ferry
#

It would, but verdant isn't going to stop a train at 5% vers. If you ever get caught out of bear you'll be insta dead

forest kite
#

Oh ya I def need to grab vers, I know that

#

That's just a matter of farming some honor and all

#

That's nbd

#

More looking longterm now that we've cleared raid so I can focus a bit more on pvp

coarse ferry
#

Verd is what I would run for 3s specifically. Oath is a great early pick up if you also do rbgs and 2s

#

I crafted a r1 verdant and r1 oath first. Verd I very between rbg comp and almost always use it in 3s, I use oath for 2s. Sometimes*** I'll use oath in 3s if for example I'm queuing into double DH etc. It's very specific and when I know I need the extra DR+Bearform and 3 frenzy regens (counting the conduit) to survive. Queue into ret+venge, or double venge oath goes on. Hunt (dh ability not the class) or double hunt combined with other burst is almost too much to survive without it (for me).

forest kite
#

That makes sense

#

Oath seems like a huge survivability boost

#

*survivability

#

I'm stuck with what pieces to pick secondary stat wise right now because it looks like resto is def preferring haste/vers, but Feral stacks Mastery

#

I think I wanna focus pretty heavily on resto though as my guild needs a healer big time

coarse ferry
#

That and those other specific matches (which you'll recognize quickly) hinge on you not just insta dying to the setup gimmick.

#

Just take whatever secondaries you want. For raiding they are all so close it's not an issue. Mastery is only the clear winner for resto in M+, however that does nothing to contribute to damage which quickly becomes the healers main stay after mid season+

forest kite
#

So for a holistic secondary Haste/Vers is probably the right move?

#

Because Haste is definitely preferred in both settings until a decent %

coarse ferry
#

You can like I said either way is fine. it's not enough difference to make a HUGE impact on content since our stats are attacked so high into vers

ionic temple
#

When’s symmetry available again ?

#

Next week ?

coarse ferry
#

I go haste just because I 🐻 in M+ mostly.

forest kite
#

Okay. I've definitely hard leaned into druid as my main for this xpac so it's gonna be time to stack up the gear on him then.

#

I'm hype to try and push rating for the first time since like BC

#

Just gotta get the Legos crafted and all that, which will happen over time.

coarse ferry
#

Easy start is with RBG until you find you some good partners in 2s/3s. I yolo pugged up to 1760 just doing caps and honor farming, 1800 is super easy to hit there just farming and chilling. Nothing super impressive but it's at least 213 ilvl pvp gear to get you started after a few weeks.

Feral is really strong, Good survival. great for duels.
If you manage to bait out bubbles or IB's convoke can one shot most anything (granted you're not interrupted)
You have entangle / Whirlwind.

With Resto affinity you can basically survive for ages.
As nelf restealth is also great.

night fae also makes ferals already great movement even better with a blink

Uh good survival I wouldn't go that far

@fresh estuary I've had semi decent success with a WW as a partner (guildie who's new to pvp, we're low rated at 1600 though). For the burst with double DPS its been a crapshoot but him being able to transcendance, have all hots rolling from OG and then just pump has been nice.

fresh estuary
marble prawn
#

Yeah the guy I'm playing with is learning as well, its a long process but he's doing well. Honestly get someone from guild or a mate you can play with, comms helps massively. Especially when our HoTs are so weak in comparison to the burst that can be put out.

Yes I'm trying to set up a friend list now. Limited playtime and weird time schedule doesn't help either 😅 Thanks for the tips anyways

Yea okay, Symmetry is looking pretty sick after reflection - did u go head or hands?

vapid nexus
#

only 4h? are you doing some kind of casual PvE(xam) content in the PvP channel? HmmCoffee

clear pulsar
#

It only had 5 questions

real 5 questions, or chem prof questions that expend half the alphabet on sub-questions

Half a page each

Kinda

#

I mean I took extra long cuz I didn't know how to do them

#

Had to google on the spot

#

I'm sure other people did it faster

heavy cairn
#

Lol I was playing RPD last night. Fun comp but def doesn’t feel crazy good

#

Also the sp has high xp on mage but newer to sp

#

Also feels like if you don’t play disc or rsham you are considered a farrrrr worse healer lol. So that community perception although somewhat true sucks a lot

wanton vector
#

what would be the 2nd best legendary for feral pvp after symm? i'm also raiding so I wanna fill both roles with one if possible

tulip pelican
#

Maybe curio could be good, but it aint the best in either scenario

heavy cairn
#

@wanton vector you could just make a 190 PvP one and 190 PvE one

clear pulsar
#

Apex is the 2nd most popular

#

Probably because it's good in pve also

wanton vector
#

i have a symm already, i just want to play around with something else as well so i wondered

#

while i dont really care about my performance in pve that much so i can vary it there

#

basically boils down to apex vs curio

tulip pelican
#

yes, I believe curio as more burst potential so it would be best in pvp than apex.

clear pulsar
#

That's very untrue

tulip pelican
#

ho nvm then 😛

clear pulsar
#

Pressing 3 more shreds isn't more burst

#

It's 3 globals that will do 1.5k each

#

But it's fine

#

Like I'm not saying Curio is bad

#

Just that by definition, Apex gives you better burst when it procs

tulip pelican
#

yeah, you are right

#

I hate to rely on RNG in general :p especially in pvp where you need the stars to align

wanton vector
#

curio's bigger pool seems interesting in games where i have to spend some time throwing offheals/staying in bear, providing time to regen up to 160

#

but somewhat useless in <1 min games lol

placid mirage
#

What do you guys try to do when everyone starts with invis

clear pulsar
#

Apex procs also give you free 25 energy

#

Yeah I get that @tulip pelican some games it feels very scarce

wanton vector
#

did they fix the sotf energy returns from the free bite?

clear pulsar
#

If anything Apex would be better in longer games and Curio better in shorter games tho @wanton vector

#

Cuz Curio certainly makes your Berserk window better

wanton vector
#

ah true

clear pulsar
#

While Apex will feel more consistent if you give it more time to proc

#

Over a game

mystic oxide
#

What’s the best 3s comp for boomie?

untold sail
#

Apex allows you to funnel DPS too which I love. with a big enough pack in dungeons you just PW and then practically chain free max bites on the most dangerous healer / caster mob

#

For pvp I find it iffy since I'm not running PW. Lots of effort expended to keep rips up on 1+ target and even in the best case you get the free bite + a second one... compared to the 3 bites in a row you can get on demand w/ symm

clear pulsar
#

Not quite 3 in a row on demand lol

#

It's really only 3 in a row during Berserk

#

And it's 4cp bites

#

Which is really a total of 12 cps on Bite, compared to 10 cps from Apex + regular bite

untold sail
#

true only w/ berserk - I do mostly 2 dps 2s though so either I win during berserk window or lose pretty quick ><

clear pulsar
#

3 in a row vs 2 in a row sounds like a much bigger difference than 12 cps vs 10 cps

#

What double dps?

#

The good double dps comps you should be able to reset quite often

#

And since dampening doesn't start at 20% anymore you can kite and heal up a lot in many games

untold sail
#

feral / ret pal or feral / spriest

clear pulsar
#

Yeah those should have quite a bit of longevity

untold sail
#

yeah i guess it's just the on-demand nature I like

#

10cps vs 13cps though right?

#

because the first bite in the chain should be a 5

#

then 2+2 from berserk / symm on the second + third bite

clear pulsar
#

You have to recognize when you won't be able to get more cds from the enemy, and run big

untold sail
#

and if crits it could be 5?

clear pulsar
#

That's true, but the 2nd bite always has a chance of not refunding 2 cps from Berserk also

#

Any bite can crit, Symmetry or Apex

#

I don't think that's a point

untold sail
#

just thinking w/ apex it's almost always 5 because you wait for 5 cp + proc, then drop both

#

with symm if you crit a bite, you'll have 5cp for the next one

hushed bluff
#

I have symmetry and I’m thinking about running apex for PvP

untold sail
#

not reliable but really nice when it happens

clear pulsar
#

Criting a bite doesn't give you an extra CP

untold sail
#

then what the hell am i smoking lol

clear pulsar
#

Shit I don't think it does

#

Maybe with Symmetry it counts for Primal Fury?

#

I'll test it

untold sail
#

somehow I'm sneaking a CP into the bite chain once in awhile because I've seen it as 5 > 5 > 5

#

but also just got symm yesterday so could be seeing things

clear pulsar
#

Going to the cov hall 1 sec

untold sail
#

you're correct, I must have just been theorycrafting wrong and seeing things

#

but just crit a couple times w/ both up and getting 4 every time

clear pulsar
#

Yeah just tested also

untold sail
#

it was nice using apex though when you get the opener off w/ a full rip, and then get jumped so do the bear dance and run behind a pillar. Then by the time you're healed up and ready to jump back in you often have a proc ready to go

#

but having the symm combo AND convoke, normally one of those gets horribly interrupted and the other gets through

#

idk, both are super fun, loving feral this xpac

#

Best resto legendary atm...? Is Verdant Infusion even worth it

forest kite
#

Everyone I've talked to says Verdant rn

candid condor
#

For 2s if it matters

forest kite
#

2s maybe path

deft crag
#

Other boomkins, how do you do any damage while getting trained by two dps in 2s? I’m low Cr, but I just get bursted through bear and other defensives...and then don’t do any dmg....

forest kite
#

*Oath

#

But most say verdant

candid condor
#

Ok thanks! I think I'll go with Verdant cos it's raid night 🙂

#

Shoulder > Hands..?

forest kite
#

For stats ya

#

Cause I think the only upgrade would be like mythic denathrius or something?

#

lol good one xD

#

@deft crag double dps 2s are a race, I’m not sure what your partner is, but if you are against double melee you play thorns. Use thorns + bark and bear regen + potentially Phial when they connect. I play Dreambinder + fury of elune so if it’s something I can super easily put out tons of pressure on I’ll pop CDs instantly and get surges out

#

If you get trinkets disorient into clone

forest kite
#

Havent played arena much since TBC, id really like to play resto or balance - is resto even an option really?

hoary ledge
#

But hard to lay out the strat without seeing what you’re doing wrong / what your partner is

mystic marsh
#

resto is really good

#

comin to think of it all specs r good atm surprisingly balance as well

soft cliff
#

PVE resto main enjoying boomkin for pvp. What is the legendary I should be looking at for boomkin PVP?

hoary ledge
#

Dreambinder @soft cliff

forest kite
#

Timeworn is what xd told me

#

Hes the goat

soft cliff
forest kite
#

Also small world xd im in your boomer aotc guild

hoary ledge
#

Lmao no way that’s hilarious

#

Saycow is an irl that’s how I ended up in there

deft crag
#

@hoary ledge cheers pal! That’s helpful - will try that out!

hoary ledge
#

Glhf @deft crag

placid mirage
#

@deft crag Also if it's double melee consider faerie fire to slow one down

#

For timeworn dreambinder does it count surges from convoke

hoary ledge
#

Not sure because I don’t play convoke

glad hinge
#

Is a 200 chest with haste verse better than a 220 with crit mastery as rdru?

fierce zodiac
#

What do you guys think about people in rbgs being mad if we use starfall? Had one guy lose his shit last night cause I used starfall.

rain field
#

what was his reasoning lol

wicked hare
#

Tell him to fck off

fierce zodiac
#

I did 3X the damage of next top damage. Thus he said I was padding. Tho I was 5th on ccs and was trained a lot, but he decided I was the reason we were doing poorly.

clear pulsar
#

Maybe it breaks hella CC?

fierce zodiac
#

Possibly except not many breakable ccs were being done

wicked hare
#

thought starfall didn't break cc's

fierce zodiac
#

Does it not? I haven't looked into it much

clear pulsar
#

I don't know if it does tbh just throwing it out there

#

Thing with Starfall is

#

It'll do twice or three times the damage of a Starsurge

#

But an 8k hit on someone that has less than 30k hp is very meaningful to kill

undone cobalt
#

for balance is it necro or kyran

clear pulsar
#

Kyrian big

#

Necro meme af

#

If anything simply cuz fleshcraft is pretty bad and phial is OP

#

But also the class spells themselves

undone cobalt
#

yeah flesh feels so bad

wicked hare
#

Nf or kyrian are the best with nf being the more popular overall, venthyr are viable for aoe supposedly but yeah necro is meme

undone cobalt
#

nfs convoke feels bad on balance

clear pulsar
#

"Aoe" isn't a thing in pvp

#

Venthyr is by far the most useless lol

wicked hare
#

just realised where i was

#

yeah your right what i said applies to pve

clear pulsar
#

Necrolord is good for resto and it's like, not worthless like Venthyr. But Kyrian is reliable solid good burst, lines up well for boomie if you want to play FoE, and Night Fae is a pretty OP gimmick for now.

tender flame
#

Is necro really that bad for boomy? I want to play both boomy/resto and was leaning towards necro.

deft crag
#

@placid mirage thanks, I’ve actually been trying that. Just feels I get focussed and I can’t pump any damage. I’ve found mage/rogue comps especially tricky and I swear every third fight is that comp. I just tend to pug with other dds often Hunter/spriest/rogue. Saying that, I’ve had the most success with a udk...

placid mirage
#

I'm pretty low CR and don't have high xp so take it with a grain of salt but usually I try to wait for mage to open, beam them then go rogue

forest kite
#

Balance or feral for arena?

lime light
#

boomkin is one of the most broken specs recently

#

but once they make it balanced

#

both gonna be a good pick

forest kite
#

Outside of convoke is boomie any good?

placid mirage
#

Starsurges still hit hard and you have a lot of utility/mobility

#

I will say in 2s sometimes my convoke gets insta interrupted and then I starsurge them twice for 20k anyways

#

Maybe like 17k

forest kite
#

How do you feel about your survivability?

placid mirage
#

It's decent if I remember to press my buttons

#

Celestial guardian can be great against double caster with guardian aff

#

It sucks to not have an immunity but I don't feel like I die faster than other classes that also die fast

forest kite
#

I've never played it i'm trying to test it out, I feel if a mele connects on me i'm one dead boy

lime light
#

ye. starsurger needs like 30% nerf

#

or so

stone nest
#

Boomies still absolutely slap out side of convoke

lime light
#

and convoke nerf for both specs

stone nest
#

Just boomie

forest kite
#

even through Guardian affinity Renewal in bear i'm getting clapped.

placid mirage
#

Shift to bear, faerie fire them, incap roar, frenzy regen

#

Barkskin

#

Or you can bear > incap > cyclone

forest kite
#

I have garbo pvp gear though, 162ilvl so i'm wondering maybe that has a lot to do with it at the moment.
