Is verdant better than oath of the elder for 2s
Can only craft one of those and im rly lost
how's the swiftmend lego in pvp so far?
Ok thanks
Is Eye legendary still best for Feral PvP?
Are most people necro for feral 2v2? I kinda wanted to go fae bc it's good for other specs too
everyone is kyrian or NF
Make sure to check out my twitch.tv - https://www.twitch.tv/zimicpvp
Hey everyone and thanks for clicking on the video :) Please leave a like on the video if you enjoy and a comment below if you have any questions you want to ask me
Also if you want to see certain videos / content on twitch streams let me know below
Cheers guys - much love ...
Would Draught of the deep focus be a decent leggo in 2's? (and does germination profit from it?)
if i buy a gladiator item now at low rank, will it automatically grow in ilvl when iget a higher rank?
no, but when u get the rank, u will be able to upgrade it with honor
ahh ok
expensive?
or maybe thats the way it works for everyone?
they buy ilvl 200 then upgrade for honor, even if ur 2k?
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
How are you guys finding NF in pvp over kyrian? still deciding between the two
For balance*
its amazing if u can set it up
is more agility better than verse?
like what would be the trade off
1 agil for every 10 vers or somethjing?
Balance of all things still the play for balance in arena?
Hey How does Floral Recycling conduit works with the swiftmend legendary ?
You guys liking vers/mast or vers/haste for balance?
vers/haste
no
but not bad
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)
What secondary trinket are you using for PvP as Resto? The ON USE Intel? Proc Intel or HP one ?
How good is Feral rn in PvP? I was wondering cause Feral is historically quite squishy and arena rn seems quite bursty.
It;s pretty good, still squishy though
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 ?
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
Someone even use full moon in 3v3, at 2K4
fury is good in arena?
if u know how to use it and have the comp for it
Fury is good when you are doing a setup-based comp because it gives you an extra starsurge during your burst window
i'm playing with a Disc in 2v2
solstice is a lot easier
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
yeah i cant disagree
yeah true
If it didn’t lock you out of both schools then I could maybe see using it but not how it is now
but at least he consider it i guess
doubt
is verdant infusion the best legendary for resto in pvp ?
What is the recommended leggo for Feral in pvp?
Eye of Sym
what conduit for feral
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
Does anyone know a good addon for floating combat text?
dreambinder chest with vers/haste as boomie, right?
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.
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.
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
cocoon is so fucking stupid its even untargettable sometimes
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
thanks mate, is there someones armory i can look at for gear and talents and such? @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.
You can't just swap specs everytime you lose a game and hope it'll help tho
Balance is super nasty rn
Feral's very good too
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
Kubzy metaphors minpojke nogard are all solid rdruids to look at @azure canopy
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?
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
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
ty
O they're all in the pins now bless thymes soul
i was thinking resto just to get lfg groups faster and therefore more practice
oh nice
Out of those streamers literally only 2 play rdruid anymore
Everybody else went shaman
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
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
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!
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
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
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
yeah
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
the rng?
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?
@clear pulsar balance is op on pvp
@icy rock u need to be in the bracket to upgrade the piece but it wont downgrade once its been upgraded
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.
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.
even postnerfs?
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
You need to kite and avoid their damage during Shadow Dance bby
Vortex, stuns
partner needs to peel/apply counterpressure.
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
i had enemy boomie who used it after cloning our healer 🙂
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
yeah its same dmg but its generates ASP and is aoe
i guess you may not really see that as feral then? considering you need to be in melee range.
Yeah loved getting a Full Moon on HOTW Convoke as feral in dungeons
I am feral @gusty cape
Full Moon + Starfall Convokes big dam in m+
what specs are best to push to 2100 with rdruid with?
Cuz Starsurges do like 40% more damage than bites
i would rather be venthyr than NF as boomie
u just unbind ur covenant ability its EZ
would only use it for the 25% reduc
and maybe the disorient
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.
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
@clear pulsar wait i thought kryian is best for pvp ?
we arent discussing them as being best
Night fae is good too tho
@solid cipher dreambinder
What does night fae get you ?
And you know, it's just a game, I'm trying to have fun with different setups
It's called dreamweaver you absolute
@devout frost
Phial with the 8s immunity after is sooooooooo bis
thats what i wrote ?
@devout frost why forced lol ?
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
I see
lvling a dk rn so i can go best covenant
#1 necrolord feral parse is #500 or so overall
Out of what, 1000 total parses that feral would have each fight
Pvp channel kid
monkaS
Verdant the pick for resto?
kinda true
@inland marsh verdant + necro, stout
any1 tested draught or apex in arena as feral?
Probably...convoke is too much fun though, can't do that necro
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
To me karyan is best for pvp
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.
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
Draught currently doesn't buff moonfire from Lunar Inspiration
oh, that sucks
Blizzurd devs kek
@clear pulsar I pvp as balance ?
Why are you taggin me bro
I love tagging o.o
Idk what you're asking
Im asking is Karyin the best covenant for pvp
yes
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
also convoke is probably going to get adjusted
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
impossible to pass 2.1k as jungle with all the ele shadow priest cancer
after talking shit about people complaining about boomies convoke ive decided convoke for boomies need a nerf
shits broke
even for fera;
You need to stop thinking tian
It's literally spells scaling with weapon damage
what are feral druids here spending their conquest on?
do u think they ll buff rdruid in pvp ?
No
I think rdruid will be really solid
the fun of being a healer
once they nerf a few more
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
@livid wasp got a link to that, it would be interesting
just a rumor from someone
@open verge don't take it seriously
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
gimme
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.
yeah i missed BoaT last week so im wondering the same thing
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.
Does anyone know by chance if the swiftmend legendary increases timer on the target you cast swiftment on or everyone that has your hots?
@livid wasp bang the ele
they just have some weird oneshot thing every 1 minute
its really scary
and weird
dunno how it works
2.5 mmr thats what we do and that comp feels like the easiest thing
@random light it was never boat supposedly, it's dreambinder
Only the target @hidden mortar
Thanks
yeah probably
They can do so much damage with just Lava Burst > Earth Shock > Lava Burst everytime they get enough Maelstrom
What u mean
u see skyfury

Sudden Ambush is fine but probably not your best unless it's higher ilvl
Tigers fury / bite / conflux depending on ilvls and your talents/legendaries
TF one generally bis
Predator Circle
Bite one then, especially since it's tyrannical week
@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
You rly just bond yourself
Tbh
Idk exactly what you're trying to compare
Kyrian to Night Fae?
I think its boat vs dreambinder
Boat is literally only there for the one setup where you pop Incarn
@loud moss if that heal works in pvp at full value it is worth
let us know, Cdew was trying to get it
lmaooo
But you won't get a sexier finish than dunking someone with moon
dude got outplayed clearly
Clearly
whats the pvp upgrade system like
Buy gear > upgrade
buy 200, costs and levels of upgrades?
Upgrades cost honor
cost? change per slot?
i couldnt find a table online
The cheapest slot will cost like 8k or so to upgrade to 226
@small storm I haven't checked this guide in a while, but you might find what you're looking for if it's kept up to date
https://www.wowhead.com/guides/shadowlands-pvp-vendor-rewards-honor-conquest-upgrading-gear
ty
also
anyone else getting this bug?
cant queue or even open rating bc it says i need max level
get lv60 noob
I haven't seen the bug myself, but it's been mentioned here a few times so you're not alone
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?

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
still more fun
All bites in convoke are 5cp
@junior plover upset one spell didn’t kill someone from 60% lol
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
what is a good legendary for guardian rbg?
To how many Bites it cast, how much damage the Bites did, enemy DRs, etc
Convoke on feral seems to require more luck than a boomie
Have up your bleeds so it won't waste cast
Im resto so it’s whatever but I will say feral convoke seems way more balanced and requires more set up than boomie
It's only because Starsurge does more damage than Bite
It's nothing specific to Convoke
If you can get a 4 second channel off as a feral you deserve to do the big damage
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
What would be the best arena comps for feral, 2s and 3s?
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
circle of life and death still an okay legendary even if not necrolord with adaptive swarm?
yes
Thoughts on Feral pvp wep? WOnder if i really should buy it cuz its so much conqest and not BIS stats?
does any1 know if floral recycling works with verdant infusion?
Anyone used natural orders will leggo in pvp? Was gonna craft it for bear but kinda wanna try it out for pvp as resto since I don't have a resto leggo
Largest heal i got off it was 11k in a BG when i used it on a dyign target
Average is around 7k tho
playing 2s with a ret pal and 3s with ret pal + disc priest. boomkin or feral?
There hasn’t been much guardian talk in here. That being said I think guardian doesn’t have a ton of burst so maybe look at legacy to make your damage windows larger. But for survivability natural order would be nutty
What about using NOW for resto?
Try this macro mate
/target Podtender
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?
Restos are already pretty tough to kill.
The biggest issue is healing in burst windows
Good point. Doesn't help with your team getting plowed. I might craft it for guardian so I might try it out
dark titan or verdant infusion for resto 2s?
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 else having issues with pallys judgement oneshotting
I’m crafting the swiftmend leggo this week and playing with it.
While wings are up or no?
I am having problems against warrior mage comps as resto
I feel like my hots are healing too low specially when war use mortal strike, do you guys have any tips
dreambinder
@loud moss that doesn't seem too bad tbh, can save someone with that
ye seems more of a "use as a last resort" tho
seems like a good high skill trinket to use to counter things like the hunt
Hey, what should I play in 2v2 now?
If it gave all of those things it would be good.
elder druid 
For resto druids, what do you guys prefer in bgs? FLourish or germination?
It’s options. I guess my phrasing sucked there
anyone know how the best way to farm Arch-Suppressor Laguas for Memory of Symmetry?
@devout frost so you just need to get him to spawn? I've only seen him once in 5 runs, but it was on floor 1
and he didn't drop the Memory
only drops floor 3 and above
it drops from soulforges 3+
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
do you guys use symmetry for pvp or the one with 40% more rip/rake dmg on 1 target as feral?
wowhead says this mini boss/rare spawn drops it
because Soulforges isnt avaialble this week and i dont want to wait another week for my legendary
you have to wait another week @inland bear
or u should have gotten it two weeks ago
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?
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
@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
is symmetry really the best?
That's what everyone is claiming
It's just consistently good
Apex is super inconsistent but some games it hits right 
Is it better to put Kindred Spirits on yourself solo or put it on the other dps in 3s
trying to decide if I want 15% damage on myself or to synergize damage
Sorry feral my bad @devout frost
Well for either really I've been jumping between both to what I want to main
If you put it on your partner and your partner isn't bursting/gets ccd, you don't get any damage from them, and they don't use up the damage you give them
Generally put on yourself
yeah thats sort of what I was arriving at
hello guys for feral druid which slot u craft your Eye of Fearful Symmetry legendary ?
i cant find that information on resources tab 😦
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
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
It's a very small difference either way
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 ^^
Best resto PvP leg?
Any tips on Feral PvP? how viable is it this season?
About a 38 on a scale of 1 to 10
I feel like im doing something wrong with feral. I have decent items but my arena dmg is thrash.
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
why is my pottender sometimes not proccing?
shoulnt be happening in arenas
I'm trash too dw 🥲 👍
no
i immedietly get death sreen
like the only thing I cant think of they nuke it from 100 to 0 in a millisecond
i wish that happened to everyone lol, that thing has no place in arena
It's cool if it worked like it should
it is definatly bugged and sometimes not proccing
The tooltip clearly states "if the seed takes more than 10k damage you die"
It shouldn't be healable
guys what is a swifty macro for nf boomkin?
#showtooltip
/cast Celestial Alignment
/cast Convoke the Spirits
/use Sinful Aspirant's Badge of Ferocity
will this work?
With feral, am I supposed to deal good dmg, or am I a support class that deals meh dmg but heals and uses cc
That's not much of a thing, everyone does everything to win games
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
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
Yes but whats the most dmg feral can do
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
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
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
No
Also probably don't play incarn
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
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
I just default to FF all the time everywhere tbh
Cba with the new BT I'm still salty about it
@clear pulsar you tried Apex as feral in pvp?
hi guys, the feral for 2v2 is good? or is it better in 3v3?
Yeah @remote cave it's rly nice some games
Then other games it procs like twice in 3 minutes
@clear pulsar Dang, I still don't have Eye of Symmetry and I need a legendary bad.
Would it be worth me to just yolo with APEX?
best resto legendary? ideally something useful in PVE potentially too
guys is concquest maxed 1100?
so if i got a wrong item this week is it not poassible ot get more?
so if i bought a 550 conq gear i can't sell it ?
Whats the Nightfae Balance burst combo for arenas
Incarnation 2xstarsurge - Convocation?
do the quests count for extra conquest?
Just how important is vers for pvp, and how effective is the trinket set bonus?
Big dam bites
What Leg is better for M+? Memory of the Mother Tree or The Dark Titan's Lesson?
DTL is the go to for keys atm but mother tree works fine too. Once we get more gear and healing isn't as intense u can go circle for some more dmg @open flame
is dtl good for pvp too?
I've been thinking of wich lege to buy because I started too lat and now can't get boat for boomy so thinking of making restore lege first for arenas and some m+
Verdant infusion is the go to for arena healing atm but if u just wanna do casual bgs/ arena and care more about m+ then u can go like DTL photo build or mother tree early spring WG n be fine for bgs. @tacit stratus
yea more casual arenas only
and not planning to upgrade it too far ieither
is it fine to make neck? if I only get it to 190
should be better right because thgen later I can get way bigger cloaks anyway
yea I'll make neck
thanks me
Yea neck sounds fine if ur just keeping it at rank 1
ye
No
My experience is shitton of disc priests and shitton of arms warriors
Climb a bit more and you'll see all the ww hpala teams
Disc is rly solid rn so ye there will b a lot of em also saw rshams and druids tho
The few WW i did met were insufferable holy shit
Yea they fuck hard
Absolute fuck machines
You call me?

are rdruids doing shoulder or gloves for lego
Shoulders if u cant get the mythic raid +10 ilvl ones
for casters is saving conquest for the weapon first less important than for melee?
(what slot did yall buy first for boomkin pvp?)
oath or verdant atm?
Verdant infusion @thick rampart
ty sir
Anyone in here playing a balance druid and using Timeworn Dreambinder?
boat too op
Loved that one in legion, but didn’t craft it cause boat
Is kitty anywhere near viable for pvp?
I got boat and dreambinder, dreambinder for kyrian. boat anything else
Same dreambinder for kyrian. What talents are you using while running dreambinder.
Fury of Elune is the main one u want for Kyrian/Dreambinder
Im trying some skrims to get a feel for balance, and i usually get trained and deleted in a matter of seconds... Is my only counterplay bear form?
with the right legendary you can make yourself tanky at the expense of your own damage
That dosnt really sound worth it though
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
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 %?
Can we earn a higher ilvl of innate resolve to increase that healing value? Not finding anything on wowhead about progressing that specific conduit
23% vers
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
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
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
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
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
preferred 3s would be verdant?
Anyone stream boomy pvp?
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
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
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).
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
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+
So for a holistic secondary Haste/Vers is probably the right move?
Because Haste is definitely preferred in both settings until a decent %
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
I go haste just because I 🐻 in M+ mostly.
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.
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.
Would you go with healer or a dps in 2s with feral?
Depends if you're good or ney
What rating you sitting on with that comp?
Got 2 friends i can play with.. An sp and a rogue.. Wondering what druid specc i should go..
So feral
i'm not that high atm, hadnt had much time to do arena, around 600ish rn
Is ultra good
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
Thorns helps against melee
Barkskin is nice
but jumping behind a pillar and healing yourself goes a long way
but yeh a MM can kill us pretty easy
Thank you for the tips dude. That sounds like a good play for right now as my guild isn't gonna be clearing mythic raid anytime soon and probably won't do heroic super quick... 213 pvp gear + m+ will be carrying me far
Sick tips guys.. Thanks alot!
double dps feral is decent until u fight a lot of like warrior teams with hands
even then feral healer runs thru the same problems
but dub dps def more fun/rewarding
And quicker
Pugging 2s as a new pvper (rdruid) is a drama. I'm not sure if my expectations are high or my hots too low 😩 against a healer/dps comp i have time to react, cc and to learn, but against double dps is over very fast. Most arena partners are aware of these, but they just leave after 5-10 games
What is the best arena partner that i can play with now? Should i go for a melee class? Arms or WW ?
is it bad to build crit as boomkin?
how is balance in pvp rn?
pretty good
nice
Arms rdruid is really strong yea but any melee is fine tbh @fresh estuary
Is it worth running higher ilvl over vers gear? I have a lot of ilvl 200+ gear but quite a few pieces without versa
i feel like the healing output for resto is just not there in arena
What lego should i make for Feral PvP?
Thanks! Do you guys also recommend macros for hots on my arena partner instead of first targeting?
Can somebody suggest a talent setup for feral arena? Never played the spec but want to try
Uh if you mean general party targeting yea use keybinds for that, dont really need spell specific macro stuff for party other than a dispell 123 or ironbark 123 @fresh estuary
Even ironbark 123 kinda overkill tho
Currently I just use target party and then cast the spell. Everything Keybindined for sure, but maybe I should use 123 ironbark cause I f feel that half a sec difference matters now 🤔
just crafted oath
how many epic bgs do i need to do on avg for the quest
which second trinket is goto for resto?
@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.
Cool to know! I think the skills of the arena partners matter also a lot. I played with a returning glad lock player from 0-1300 and felt so smooth. Then switched to some pugs (no double pvp trinkets, no ccs) and hard stuck at 1.2k now. I know it's low rating but I just started :P
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
Do you guys play feral affinity or guardian (rdruid) in 2s?
I feel like sometimes I want to do too much with cc help and damage then I get outplayed and we lose lol.
Mate says just stay far away and heal but I wanna help
Hey folks, is there a consensus on pvp resto legendary choices? there's a lot of guides for pve but I'm having trouble finding good discussion of pvp (I'm focused on arena 2s and 3s if if matters)
Most things I've seen use/recommend the swiftmend +8s one
playing feral druid with lots of different classes, but any tips on beating the ret pal/unholy dk combos?
ty @exotic sequoia
it sounds like it should be good with the damage reduction from bear affinity
but I can see why the verdant could be better
I mean, that sounds pretty sweet.... :D
yeah, fair
glad the world boss is up, thanks for the tips!
Newish to arenas , playing as feral but kinda stuck around the 1300-1400 rating, any tips?
in 2s i feel like my main problem is getting blow up, like popping barkskin,bear,survival and still just not being able to survive
in 3s sometimes it feels like i cant create enough pressure and no one is dying
some of the main comps that i really dont know how to play against are ret/dk and rog/mag
does convoke cast on cycloned enemies?
What is up with rdruid mana in arena? I feel like they go oom faster than disc priests
Especially in 3s
Any kryian boomkin feel like talking talents and or burst step ups?
whats to talk about
3 if you're not alliance tho
crikey
Sorry should have said any kryian boomkin using timeworn interested in talking talents or Openers/burst windows. [Incarnation: Chosen of Elune] vs [Starlord] with that legendary power. If so hit me with that DM (going to sleep) night all.
can anyone tell me why my convoke isn't attacking people in arena?
does mass root prevent convoke from targetting?
yes
but it'll target cyclone............
Was dreambinder still go to legendary as boomie
Going to forge the Feral legendary with crit/vers to to be useful for both pve and pvp. Is that even a good idea?
yea i think binder is decent in raids also n tyrannical weeks in m+
Yeah it's fine @split tulip
There's some level of diminishing returns on secondaries past like 40%
But in general tho you want different legendaries for pvp and pve
Symmetry is the most reliable for arena generally
While it's pretty weak in pve
Anyone playing feral pvp and Guardian pve? Was wondering if i there is a legendary that could fit both spectrums, or if im better off making two?
Cool
Thanks!
for balance druid are people still getting BOAT. Timeworn Dreambinder is looking nice over boat
So convoke doesn't work with mass entanglement? What about regular roots?
Ive seen alot of pvp ferals use cat eye curio lately... any thoughts about this legendary?
yes works very well
ilovelucy is streaming right now queuing with hpala at about 2.4k
Thanks!
ty tian
Thanks... what about bash and warstomp?
Right.. so it wont work if an ally has a breakable CC on them too?
That's so annoying, I've been rooting and convoking in arena
Big face palm
How good is feral rsham
I personally love Feral rn - I also saw there performing quite well, albiet below balence, in raids
Should be fine on paper
Compared to bfa
Where u had to Play with a Class that dont need healing
As rsham
Does anyone happen to know the feral pvp BIS legendaries?
Symmetry > apex
I was thinking Apex> Cat Eye?
Stop thinking this way
Think my way
If u doing pve go apex
If u just pcp
Pvp
Symmetry
Or maybe even Draught of deep focus and circle of life... that would take me back to the days with druids OP Bleeds 😛
Okay, Symatry looks quite strong
craft a draught just so you can contribute to the bug fix complaint effort lel
Hey All, I am an Rdruid doing 2s with a Ret Pally around 1700. We are running into issues against WW Monks + Healer...Or Aff Lock + Healer...Anyone have any tips for either?
It isn't that difficult to craft two leggos
Feral didn't need healing
Feral rsham was pumpers in 2s
Like a poor man's disc priest
One of many 
LI Draught, LI with anima powers, Incap Roar being parriable/dodgeable
li moonfire being evaded by rogues, parried by wars, and immuned by fists...
Wow makes angry, I only say facts broski
Thank

This one today I slayed like I slay the pvp ladder, except warriors monks and rets
Yea okay, Symmetry is looking pretty sick after reflection - did u go head or hands?
only 4h? are you doing some kind of casual PvE(xam) content in the PvP channel? 
It only had 5 questions
real 5 questions, or chem prof questions that expend half the alphabet on sub-questions
1vs1 with profesor
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
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
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
Im curious about this too
Maybe curio could be good, but it aint the best in either scenario
@wanton vector you could just make a 190 PvP one and 190 PvE one
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
yes, I believe curio as more burst potential so it would be best in pvp than apex.
That's very untrue
ho nvm then 😛
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
yeah, you are right
I hate to rely on RNG in general :p especially in pvp where you need the stars to align
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
What do you guys try to do when everyone starts with invis
Apex procs also give you free 25 energy
Yeah I get that @tulip pelican some games it feels very scarce
did they fix the sotf energy returns from the free bite?
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
ah true
What’s the best 3s comp for boomie?
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
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
true only w/ berserk - I do mostly 2 dps 2s though so either I win during berserk window or lose pretty quick ><
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
feral / ret pal or feral / spriest
Yeah those should have quite a bit of longevity
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
You have to recognize when you won't be able to get more cds from the enemy, and run big
and if crits it could be 5?
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
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
I have symmetry and I’m thinking about running apex for PvP
not reliable but really nice when it happens
Shit I don't think it does
Maybe with Symmetry it counts for Primal Fury?
I'll test it
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
Going to the cov hall 1 sec
you're correct, I must have just been theorycrafting wrong and seeing things
I thought that https://www.wowhead.com/spell=159286/primal-fury would consider the proc as "now FB is a combo point generator"
but just crit a couple times w/ both up and getting 4 every time
Yeah just tested also
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
Everyone I've talked to says Verdant rn
For 2s if it matters
2s maybe path
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....
For stats ya
Cause I think the only upgrade would be like mythic denathrius or something?
Vers hayse
*vers haste
When Convoke gets interrupted
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
Havent played arena much since TBC, id really like to play resto or balance - is resto even an option really?
But hard to lay out the strat without seeing what you’re doing wrong / what your partner is
resto is really good
comin to think of it all specs r good atm surprisingly balance as well
PVE resto main enjoying boomkin for pvp. What is the legendary I should be looking at for boomkin PVP?
Dreambinder @soft cliff
Thanks.
Also small world xd im in your boomer aotc guild
@hoary ledge cheers pal! That’s helpful - will try that out!
Glhf @deft crag
@deft crag Also if it's double melee consider faerie fire to slow one down
For timeworn dreambinder does it count surges from convoke
Not sure because I don’t play convoke
Is a 200 chest with haste verse better than a 220 with crit mastery as rdru?
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.
what was his reasoning lol
Tell him to fck off
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.
Maybe it breaks hella CC?
Possibly except not many breakable ccs were being done
thought starfall didn't break cc's
Does it not? I haven't looked into it much
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
for balance is it necro or kyran
Kyrian big
Necro meme af
If anything simply cuz fleshcraft is pretty bad and phial is OP
But also the class spells themselves
yeah flesh feels so bad
Nf or kyrian are the best with nf being the more popular overall, venthyr are viable for aoe supposedly but yeah necro is meme
nfs convoke feels bad on balance
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.
Is necro really that bad for boomy? I want to play both boomy/resto and was leaning towards necro.
@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...
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
Balance or feral for arena?
boomkin is one of the most broken specs recently
but once they make it balanced
both gonna be a good pick
Outside of convoke is boomie any good?
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
How do you feel about your survivability?
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
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
Boomies still absolutely slap out side of convoke
and convoke nerf for both specs
Just boomie
even through Guardian affinity Renewal in bear i'm getting clapped.
Shift to bear, faerie fire them, incap roar, frenzy regen
Barkskin
Or you can bear > incap > cyclone
I have garbo pvp gear though, 162ilvl so i'm wondering maybe that has a lot to do with it at the moment.
Maybe
