blissful belfry
#

i heard rogue could cap it from stealth

#

and from 40 yards away

wise valley
#

Yeah undead rogues could just rip their arm off and click from base

#

Little known Chinese secret in wotlk

sterile swift
#

Do I have to time the moonfire against a smoke bomb, or can I just like

#

spam it on the rogue until the bomb drops lmao

blissful belfry
#

bomb isnt long enough to cap

sterile swift
#

yeah

#

1s time

#

between

#

but can I just spam mf, or do I have to actually time it correctly

lime light
#

Depends how laggy / slow u are

tardy hare

nop

sterile swift
#

like can't I just shift out, sit at 40, and spam

tardy hare
#

yes

sterile swift
#

then they have to run away, step sap, and byt he time they get to cap again I'm out

tardy hare
#

ye but he might inc with 2

sterile swift

tardy hare
#

after some times

#

time

#

yes

sterile swift
#

ye

tardy hare
#

but u want to extend that as long as possible

junior plover
#

If you don't get sapped you're good

#

Assuming you're guardian

sterile swift
#

but I guess if I shift too early they can cyc or sap me with 2 and get the cap immediately

#

I am yeah

junior plover
#

Yeah if you don't get sapped

#

Just trinket blind

#

You're good to go

The fox serpent looking weeb thing is pog

tardy hare
candid dragon
#

I think if you have the actual mog in your inventory you can still mog it via another covenant. At least I can do it with my kyrian bow on my hunter who's venthyr.

tardy hare
#

pog

#

i sold item tho

candid dragon
#

Rebuy it. Vendors sell it.

clear pulsar
#

You cant

tardy hare
#

i dont want to

clear pulsar
#

I tried

junior plover
clear pulsar
#

You can 'mog' your kyrian bow cuz thats the base appearance

#

Of the actual item you're wearing

junior plover
clear pulsar
#

So you just remove mog

junior plover
#

You can mog then swap tho

clear pulsar
#

Yeah

junior plover
#

so much conquest left over this season

#

just buy a copy of every item

#

and keep it mogged

#

save gold

clear pulsar
#

But then you're stuck wearing same mog

junior plover
#

I unironically did this for the cloak

clear pulsar
#

LMAO ok I guess you can buy 4 cloaks

#

What are the best conduits for Feral Necro in pvp? Do you swap Well-honed & BotW on the last tier based on Mindgames or is it always the same build?

junior plover
#

You still need Well honed even into priest

#

the class is unplayable without it

#

This is what most people are running I'm pretty sure

viscid remnant
#

Ye

junior plover
#

Ursine Vigor on swap for pre-game Fleshcraft if u want that

#

The actual solution to mindgames

#

is a cancel macro for WHI

woeful epoch
#

Thank you! So Taste for Blood, Tough as Bark, and Born of the Wilds aren't important for the build?

lime snow
#

Not as important as the above

woeful epoch
#

I'm surprised the fleshcraft thing still works. Thanks for the response!

junior plover
#

You pretty much don't even bite as necro

lime snow
#

What's the fleshcraft thing

junior plover
#

Botw is really nice

#

especially in 2s

#

You can click on Ursine, go bear, immediately fleshcraft

#

then swap back

woeful epoch
#

Oh, do you skip Ferocious Wound pvp talent or only bite every 30 seconds?

lime snow
#

Oh wow bro I didn't know

#

I like ferocious wounds still

#

You get bites off in berserk

junior plover
#

You can run wound

#

but I run savage roar

#

so i dont have energy to spare

#

on bites

woeful epoch
#

...how do you spend your combo points if rip is snapshotted?

lime snow
#

Interesting yeah I don't run roar

junior plover
#

SR wuuut

#

Or yeah you can bite

#

but Savage Momentum is really good for Necro

lime snow
#

I guess wounds makes sense if u dont run roar

junior plover
#

much better than for the other 2 feral specs

#

You get to snapshot aaaall the bleeds

woeful epoch
#

Oh, I didn't even know SR was a consideration over SotF

junior plover
#

Yeah it's a recent discovery really

#

Consensus is that it's generally better but not largely

#

you can run either

woeful epoch
#

Just for some context, what's your CR at?

junior plover
#

I'm 2.2k

#

But I sit in this chat 24/7

#

so I represent most of it

woeful epoch
#

Cool, much appreciated. Crazy there's still build alternatives being uncovered. WW by comparison is extremely static

junior plover
#

Yeah it's mostly because of 9.0.5 bringing necro to the table at all

clear pulsar
#

I mean

junior plover
#

I think WW recently started using Serenity, no?

clear pulsar
#

It's one talent difference

#

Didn't windwalker shift towards serenity lately?

woeful epoch
#

9.0.5 buffed a legendary, which opened up serenity, but alternative covenants/talents are basically dead

clear pulsar
#

That's about just as big of a shift in 'build' as running SR

#

If not bigger

junior plover
#

Yeah but it was directly due to the buff right

#

and SR is actually like

#

half way through 9.0.5 or later

clear pulsar
#

Not really

junior plover
#

For most people that is

green valve
junior plover
#

I'm the press secretary here

woeful epoch
#

Thanks for the information, though. I hit 60 last week, now Renown 24, 2 weeks of soul ash, and 11k honor, ready to start pushing with my HPriest. I'm sure I'll have a ton more questions.

junior plover
#

I'd recommend sticking to sotf to have less stuff to worry about

#

SR makes you comparably energy starved and you have an extra buff to keep track of

woeful epoch
#

I went pretty macro/bind-heavy during leveling so I think it'll fit in pretty well. Will play around with both.

junior plover
viscid remnant
woeful epoch
#

also means the 9.1 nerf isn't as impactful which is nice

junior plover
#

Which nerf?

woeful epoch
#

Ferocious WOunds

junior plover
#

Oh yeah

#

definitely won't run it in 9.1

#

you'll just put the new talent there

#

you'll probably swap thorns with lotp at that point depending on matchup

#

but who knows

woeful epoch
#

good prep then. Now we can just pray that Judgement talent doesn't go live...

junior plover
clear pulsar
#

You're def about to get solo capped on

viscid remnant
#

Nah

#

Its ez especially at mordor rating

junior plover
viscid remnant
#

Ppl just die to you spamming thrash with incarn

viscid remnant
#

Its going to be a good time

junior plover
#

did just that

#

whats the good ones

#

that machtig watched on stream

#

#

it ends with cute animals

#

on every episode

#

viscid remnant
#

Unusual meme compilation

junior plover
#

thank u

viscid remnant
junior plover
#

oh lawd he comin

blissful belfry
#

#

im sure trixster could solo cap u with a warrior

junior plover
lime light
#

Pve trinket

#

Warrior

tardy hare
#

gg

junior plover
#

Lmao a 20k hp rogue came

#

baited me to chase him

#

then warrior came out of nowhere

#

almost capped

#

these guys

woeful epoch
#

Best up-to-date Feral guide? Skill-capped deleted theirs for being outdated and Wowhead still lists Necro as 3rd in terms of covenants.

junior plover
#

I'm not sure there is a necro guide tbh

clear pulsar
#

Snupy probably has something on youtube?

junior plover
#

Might be yeah

#

if you need gameplay tips that's a different story

#

but it boils down to constantly pressuring 1 target with full bleeds

#

sneak cyclones and regrowths when you have full bleeds up

#

feral frenzy is your go tool

green valve
fallow root
#

Watching Mmarkers makes me want to try resto

fallow root
junior plover
#

yall bear bros

#

u play feral on carts?

#

and temple?

tardy hare

junior plover
#

and maybe the bfa one

tardy hare
#

boomy temple

junior plover
#

boomy tettleslul

#

I see your point

#

but still

fallow root
woeful epoch
#

More of a general question, but why are non-MS comps considered better in Dampening? Wouldn't it be more difficult to heal into MS+Dampening rather than just Dampening?

green valve
#

most "damp" comps are just livelord wizards

woeful epoch
#

I watched Snupy skip the first 2 minutes of Feral+HPriest vs Arms+RDruid. I get why Cardinal Mending is strong in dampening, but wasn't sure if Feral had any benefits.

junior plover
#

I'm pretty sure dampening is multiplicative on MS and not additive?

#

Someone correct me if I'm wrong

#

So it's not necessarily that they are better, they're better in comparison to 0% dampen

blissful belfry
#

pretty sure it reduces the remaining portion and not on top of yeah. like 50% damp and 50% ms is 75% reduc, not 100%

junior plover
#

I'm about to be 2k no cap

#

how do u lose rbg

woeful epoch
#

I assume every feral ability can be dodged/parried other than Moonfire, Cyclone, Hibernate, Entangle, Adaptive? And that all of those can be Reflected? or are there some weird cases around abilities like Incap Roar or Soothe?

junior plover
#

Incap Roar can be parried yeah

#

it's a bit weird

#

other than that everything that you'd think is a spell is a spell

tardy hare
#

Thats actually pog rating

#

U get to skip 1500-1600

#

1450 yeet to 1600

junior plover
#

Man

#

a DK solo capped 3 bases

#

this game

#

the rogue was right

#

anyone can cap

#

this guy out there being proud of solo capping on bears on this mmr when there's a DK running around soloing fucking Blacksmith

blissful belfry
#

I wonder if i can solo cap a bear with my boomy

#

hehehe

#

now, we'll do this whole convo, about boomy vs bear

junior plover
blissful belfry
#

can bear survive a solo incarn convoke reliably?

junior plover
#

Probably yeah

#

trade SI for it

#

its 6s

blissful belfry
#

Sl?

junior plover
#

survival instincts

#

50% damage reduc

blissful belfry
#

ah

#

yeah prolly

junior plover
#

barkskin on top

#

60%

#

Fleshcraft on it

#

thats like 72%? + fleshcraft heal

#

should be good

blissful belfry
#

Nah, ima press flap, u gun press all defensive cuz u an ape and thinkin i convoke. then i convoke for real

whole kayak
#

Syfoxy has good necro stuff

#

Snupy even mentions him in his guide

#

Cause he’s more experienced at necro feral

junior plover
#

Doesnt mention fuji?

whole kayak
#

I don’t remember, but he said like 3 names

#

Syfoxy axtin and someone else

blissful belfry
#

syfoxy axtin and kiosk prolly

green valve
#

capping honor on this 59 bm hunter before i hit 60

blissful belfry
#

the legend

green valve
#

this class is actually so broken

junior plover
#

Boomie in my rbg telling me not to hug the flag

#

and instead just moonfire spam

#

@tardy hare help

#

conflicting information

woeful epoch
#

Is the MC bug enough of a deterrent to MC whenever full bleeds are up or is it generally worth it?

blissful belfry
junior plover
#

No im pretty sure hes smurfing

#

the leader is legit like 2.8 xp

blissful belfry
#

are u doubtin matchtig now? For rbg pugs?

#

Kiosk cmon man

#

y u gotta do him like dat

clear pulsar
#

Boomies stay max range from flag 100%

#

You could too if you want

junior plover
#

Nvm hes' 2400 xp

#

im trustin

clear pulsar
#

So long as it's not 2 people

junior plover
#

Ye he said just moonfire the rogue

#

its free

clear pulsar
#

Being on top of flag is free too tbh

#

If it's rogue + 1 tho you definitely need to be on top of flag

junior plover
#

Ye

clear pulsar
#

To spin with thrash/barkskin thru duel

junior plover
#

I get the idea

#

if youre far

#

he cant blind and run back to flag in time

clear pulsar
#

Thing is

#

A rogue would never hit your base solo

#

In an actual game

junior plover
clear pulsar
#

So just spam click BGE

#

To see if their boomies or whatever other stealthies they have

#

Are in teamfight

#

If there's 2 missing you get on top of flag

leaden thorn
#

So seeing as people know a whole lot about 9.1 for whatever rason and me just not being able to find it i find my self in a situation of "should i stay necro or go night fae" as a feral druid

junior plover
#

The fuck is bge

clear pulsar
#

And in that case you yell at your other base sitter to ghost and hit their base

junior plover
#

nf legendary is not out on ptr

#

it all depends on how it interacts with niya

#

even then needs playtesting

leaden thorn
#

im currently a necorlord feral but im debating if its worth staying it might just be because right now pvp is gear based but i def feel like im doing nothing half the time

clear pulsar
#

The patch is at least 2 months away

#

No one knows

#

What will be best

junior plover
#

If you feel like youre doing nothing add SR to the mix

#

if youre still doing nothing

#

press regrowth

#

on other dps

#

anything

clear pulsar
#

I mean

blissful belfry
#

no, not anything

#

if u dare press hibernate on a fellow druid

junior plover
blissful belfry
#

get out

clear pulsar
#

Changing from a rotational spell that adds consistent damage and you press twice a minute to a 2 min cd that gives you one moment of burst doesn't stop you from feeling like you're doing nothing

#

If anything you do even less

gloomy token
#

Muh bite tho

leaden thorn
#

what is SR?

junior plover
#

Savage Roar

leaden thorn
#

ah

junior plover
#

Yeah I understood doing nothing as in

#

downtime

#

if you feel like your character is doing nothing

#

necro is better than kyrian or nf in that regard

leaden thorn
#

im just sitting here trying to decide if i should stay necro or not but i guess i should tell 9.1 comes out instead of hopping onto the night fae train

#

till*

blissful belfry
#

yeah just wait

#

only reason to swap now is to ''pre-grind'' your renown to 40

junior plover
#

We wont know until at least like 2 weeks before patch is out

blissful belfry
#

but even then, thats pretty pepe

junior plover
#

Imagine not having 3 covenants at 40 renown

#

why live?

#

actually my NF is like 38 probably

leaden thorn
#

iv never tried savage roar but having another button to push kinda sucks guess ill look into it though

blissful belfry
#

NF from start to finish mate

gloomy token
#

Nfae is gae

#

Don't @ me

junior plover
#

dont bother if you dont want another button to press

#

I thought you wanted more buttons to press

leaden thorn
#

i wanted to do more damage but ill try it anyway

junior plover
#

Misunderstood you

#

You can try it but it's seriously not a huge deal so don't sweat it

leaden thorn
#

iv just been locked in an inner debate betwene staying necro or just going night fae and becoming a dime a dozen balance druid

woeful epoch
#

Do you generally Berserk on opener? Or 2nd Frenzy after some CD's?

tardy hare
#

Afk on flag easy and calm

junior plover
#

I generally Berserk for pressure when we have some momentum

junior plover
#

Berserk is kinda useless in terms of damage

#

it's just nice to get more CPs to apply a snapshotted 32s rip or rip into maim

tardy hare
#

1 min without trinketting is easily enough time for team

#

After that just call em boosted apes

junior plover
leaden thorn
#

im considering just going balance really i like feral but its hard to compete against 20k star surge crits

junior plover
#

You won't get 20k starsurge crits without gear

#

Feral is definitely the stronger pvp spec on this patch

#

no question about it

#

for arena anyway

woeful epoch
#

Shapeshift ignores Polymorph, Hex, Repentance? Anything else?

tough hill
#

Hey guys - you seem like a friendly bunch, and I'm really struggling with getting to grips with feral druid pvp this expansion.
Is this the right place to ask some noobish questions?

tardy hare
#

We are not friendly

#

@lime light bites.

tough hill
#

ferociously, presumably

clear pulsar
#

Bite bad bleeds gud

#

Do ask

tough hill
#

Well, I used to play feral a lot in vanila/TBC - got 190ish days /played - so I'm not a complete noob, but I have only recently returned to the game and am unfamilliar with a lot of the new stuff with this expansion

#

Anyway... I got to level 60 a few days ago.
I'm currently sitting at item level 184.
I get instagibbed in every stun-lock pretty much. And I feel like anytime I hit anyone, I'm slapping a wall of bubles and self-healing

#

Is this a normal experience for my current gear-level?

tardy hare
#

Yeah youre 40ilvls behind

tough hill
#

I completed the Kyrian campaign - and to be honest, Torghast and LFR are just really boring to me.
All I want to do is get geared enough to be reasonably viable in battlegrounds/arenas.

What's the easiest path to getting there?

woeful epoch
#

For a few days, that's not bad. It's kind of a grind for early honor/conquest

tardy hare
#

After campaign

#

Just start grinding pvp

#

Rated bgs fastest

tough hill
#

So I did do a few BG's - I bought some rings with the honour and then upgraded them because they were my lowest item-levels.

Is that what I should be doing? Or should I save my honour for something else?

tardy hare
#

No

#

Sounds good

clear pulsar
#

That's the fastest way you'll get upgrades rn

#

Covenant armor

#

After that it's just spam rated for conquest

leaden thorn
#

well sucks to be me im already have way done with my honor gear set lol

clear pulsar
#

You gain the same amount of conquest regardless of rating so don't feel too bad about tanking a bunch of mmr so you can start winning games tbh

#

Honor set is just 90k total cost for shit that you can fully replace with conquest right now anyway

#

It's so pointless

#

Literally same ilvl as you can get from campaign in 10% of the time

leaden thorn
#

i find it harder to upgrade personally

clear pulsar
leaden thorn
#

i mean you dont need to like that thought

#

but i dont have a constant stream of anima coming in

clear pulsar
#

You get like 2k anima just from weekly stuff

#

The pvp weeklies, world boss, and 2 dungeon weeklies

#

That's about all it costs

tough hill
#

Alright, sounds like I'm mostly on the right track.
What about the stuff I've been alrgely ignoring - my sanctum, the command table, the thing that looks like a mini talent-tree, soulbinds...
Am I missing a trick by ignoring that stuff??

gloomy token
#

When you get the meta achieves for all rank 1 /2/3 sanctum buildings the anime starts rolling in

clear pulsar
#

Yeah but then you just dumped 80k anima into upgrades to sanctum buildings

#

Kinda weirdchamp

gloomy token
#

True

#

Mission table good tho

#

Get venture plan addon

tough hill
clear pulsar
#

Night fae mission table low key the 2nd worse now

#

After they fixed trappers and buffed the shit out of venthyr

#

Necro undisputed best mission table

gloomy token
#

Necro gang mission table is massive pog

junior plover
#

Whats the necro seteup

#

setup

clear pulsar
#

The 3 soulbinds + plaguey

gloomy token
#

Plaguey and plague deviser marileth are the goat

clear pulsar
#

SOOOO op

junior plover
#

sorry dont have 3 soulbinds

gloomy token
#

PDM and emeni get you through 90% of hard missions

junior plover
#

Renown 35 btw

leaden thorn
#

man...i really hope that rogue 100% crit chance legendary thing is gettin nerfed

junior plover
#

the fuck is Soul Survivors

leaden thorn
#

thank fuckin god

clear pulsar
#

It's a side quest

junior plover
#

and so is the restealth playstyle

clear pulsar
#

Takes like 30 mins

leaden thorn
#

acuse im currently getting farmed by a outlaw rogue with it

#

and i cant fight back and everyone is ignoring it

clear pulsar
#

I think it's marked on the map for you

junior plover
#

outlaw

junior plover
#

idk

leaden thorn
#

sounds dumb but

junior plover
#

I might google it tomorrow

leaden thorn
#

im currnetly getting GY camped by the outlaw rogue lol

junior plover
#

At least not arena

clear pulsar
junior plover
#

My advice is

#

dump all anima into portals

clear pulsar
#

I like to hang out in darnassus lately

#

Place is so pretty

junior plover
#

rank 3 u get portal to Oribos

clear pulsar
#

Fuck portals no chance bro

leaden thorn
#

i thought bleeds brough rogues outa stealth

junior plover
#

Theres a conduit

gloomy token
#

Mission table is ok passive gold if you don't do boosts/ carries

junior plover
#

gives them 20% max hp shield

#

when they stealth

#

it's getting nuked next patch

clear pulsar
#

I got lvl 2 queen garden

#

For that SICK froggo soulshape

junior plover
#

I did too..

clear pulsar
#

And yeah mission table is a solid like 30k gold a week or something

leaden thorn
#

im considering going to night fae but tbh

clear pulsar
#

If you do it all the time

leaden thorn
#

this surviability necor brings

#

its hard to pass up

junior plover
#

Stick to necro it's great

#

NF feral is

clear pulsar
#

Convoke is so overrated by people that dont actually play druid

junior plover
#

Imagine playing a feral without a covenant and forcing trinket

#

how do you do that vs half the specs in the game

#

u dont

clear pulsar
#

And I cant justify being kyrian

#

When it's such complete dog for resto

junior plover
#

thats NF life

tough hill
clear pulsar
#

@junior plover emeni marileth heirmir plaguey meatball you legit can not fail a mission

#

Get ventureplan addon tho it's so sick

junior plover
#

Ye I got it

leaden thorn
#

i also like randomly being pulled from stealth in AV

#

how the hell does that happen

junior plover
#

something splashes on you

#

sunfire

#

frost dk

#

many others

#

ignite maybe?

#

not sure if ignite still splashes

leaden thorn
#

i mean iw as just running through to back cap something

#

got pulled outa stealth nbody around me

#

dont know what was happening

#

happens a lot in AV

junior plover
clear pulsar
#

Could be critter on the floor!?

tough hill
#

What about legendaries? I'm assuming I need to chore my way through boring Torghast to get enough Soul Ash for a free item?

leaden thorn
#

what spec are you

clear pulsar
#

For instance there was a rat in freehold that always fucked one skip I used to do

tough hill
leaden thorn
#

necro?

#

40% bleed one is what im using

junior plover
#

The legendary depends on your covenant

tough hill
#

kyrian

clear pulsar
#

Cuz I wild charged to one mob and the rat was right behind it, so I stepped on it and killed it, that pulled me out of stealth

junior plover
#

Symmetry then

#

For 3v3 you can use The Natural Order's Will if you find yourself being the kill target a lot

#

it's a Guardian legendary

leaden thorn
#

Draught of deep focuse is what im using

junior plover
#

Yeah but that's for Necro

tough hill
#

and Torghast is my only route to getting that, I'm assuning? It's pretty mundane stuff imo.

leaden thorn
#

i know just makin sure it is lol

junior plover
#

Yeah Torghast is the way to get it

clear pulsar
#

Torghast is where you get the currency to craft leggos yes

junior plover
#

You can get some extra from the mission table bench

#

but you'd need to progress quite a bit there

clear pulsar
#

It's so chill like go in, 10 mins one side, 10 mins other side, come out

junior plover
#

But yeah Feral in torghast is pretty sweet

#

cat form movement speed

tough hill
#

I've been breaking every pot and slaying every dude... am I doing it wrong?

junior plover
#

good survi

#

If you find yourself struggling against the bosses

#

and need the powers

#

then keep doing that

#

if not, just kill some stuff and stealth all the way to the end of the floor

tough hill
#

Not really, it usually seems trivially easy, just long and dull.

#

Alright cool, that sounds more bareable.

leaden thorn
#

i mean tbf they say you need an ilvl of 195 to do layer 8 so

junior plover
#

I pretty much only break the pots that have an anima power inside and elites that are on my way and can see stealth

leaden thorn
#

depending your class though you dont always need that

junior plover
#

and anything that's standing near these souls that give 1% agility when you click them

leaden thorn
#

i solo layer 8 with a 175 holy paladin

tough hill
#

I think I'm locked out of that layer or something at the moment.

clear pulsar
#

I got an upgrade on horde druid from mission table

#

194 wep

junior plover
#

Yeah you need to complete lower layers first

#

once per account

junior plover
clear pulsar
#

On main I just

#

Skip all the way to the end

#

Kill the floor miniboss before whatever is following me can kill me

#

Move on

junior plover
#

Kyrian is probably the worst feral for torghast

#

necro feels good

#

NF is absurd

#

but I remember kyrian was kinda eh

clear pulsar
#

It's fine, the worst part is it does nothing for resto

#

But pelagos is 20% mastery

#
  • 15% dam from self buff
#

It's pretty dece

green valve
#

Nf is absolutely absurd for ghast

tough hill
#

I've been kinda ignoring Conduits and Soulbinds out of fear of messing it up... Is that a valid fear, or can I recover from whaterver I pick?

green valve
#

But f ghast

#

You can swap soulbinds whenever you want in any rested area

#

So definitely irrational fear

tough hill
#

Good, thank you.

junior plover
#

You can swap the path on the soulbind tree any time

#

you can swap what conduit is in what slot once per day

#

but you can hold 10 charges of that

clear pulsar
junior plover
#

Look

#

I WILL SAY

#

if people were hearthing out to swap them between bosses

#

that'd be cracked

#

but it should just be spec specific

#

ofc thatd ruin the FANTASYYY

clear pulsar
#

This doesnt keep people from optimizing conduits for each boss on prog tho

#

I mean

#

At worst people would hearth out to swap on farm to sweat out a parse or something

#

I don't think that's an issue at all

#

As it is if you aren't killing 5 mythic bosses day 1 you can already swap your entire soulbind for each boss

#

This energy thing serves no reasonable purpose bro

junior plover
#

it doesnt even serve the intended purpose

green valve
#

Its just then being stubborn

#

And not wanting to cave in fully

#

No point in having 2 week gated covenant swaps or conduit charges

#

But here we are

junior plover
#

No I actually agree

#

if people were gonna tryhard and swap between each boss

#

they'd be doing it right now

#

might as well remove it

green valve
#

I mean the actual conduits youd still have to hearth out to change

#

If you wanna be that big a neckbeard go for it

junior plover
#

Asmon actually had a good take on twitter

#

It's not reinventing the wheel

#

the community just wants a robust wheel

#

and Blizz is like

#

we'll give them a hoverboard

#

and they make one from scratch

#

finish it by last patch

#

then throw it away, make a new one next expansion

#

Like think about BFA

#

everything they added in BFA got removed

#

They added like 20 systems and all of them are gone 2 years later

clear pulsar
#

Fuck asmongold

junior plover
#

Not a huge fan

#

but a good take

#

I failed

junior plover
#

Lmao just played warsong gulch and a monk did 500 damage to tank all game, said "you guys do 0 damage fucking idiots" cuz he was 1st on damage done overall

#

Wouldnt surprise me normally

#

but

#

He's fucking 3k in 3s

#

All my guy knows is

#

attack everything in sight

#

HOOOW

#

are you rank 1 arena

#

and say stuff like that

#

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

#

agreed to all

#

Yeah thats probably his line of reasoning

#

yo he's actually like top 35 eu on his warrior

#

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW

#

Dont they ban for that?

#

ah

#

great pasttime

#

My server on classic had some guild drama

#

when officer got kicked for defending a black guy in the guild

#

When other officers called him the hard r

#

great times

#

or was it the guy that got kicked for being black

#

something like that

#

With Deep Focus, how do you choose which target to prioritize? Does Kyrian/Dwarf factor in or just certain specs?

junior plover
#

You don't like to hit hunter

#

that's it for the most part, I don't think dwarf will make you swap the target unless you have 2 good targets to choose from

#

who you're going to target depends on the comp you play and the comp they play

#

I mean if they stoneform on FF

#

that's a cracked defensive

#

STRONG

#

but I don't think it warrants you swapping off them

#

Oh didnt know that actually

woeful epoch
#

I was thinking Ret or Arms might be ones I'd rather focus entangle than try and burn through. (comp would be Feral+HPriest vs DPS+Healer)

junior plover
#

Oh yeah you're playing 2s

#

I'd recommend going dps since your hpriest has really good cc setups on the healer

#

also you have no mortal strike

#

so you'll struggle to win healer races

woeful epoch
#

Makes sense, maybe different next season?

junior plover
#

Could be yeah

#

feral is pretty strong on a healer

#

just missing MS

#

Against specifically Hunter

woeful epoch
#

Ret has Bubble, BoP, & Phial. Sounds really annoying

junior plover
#

you go healer

#

Ret is pretty annoying but they're still squishy

#

You spam moonfire on bop

#

Rogue Mage is very free if you just chase mage all game long

leaden thorn
#

i think iv decided im gonna go balance and night fae regardless of nerfs that may come

#

for two reasons

#
  1. iv not done the night fae camapign its the only one iv not done
  2. after doing a torghast run as balance i forgot how much i like the visiuals lol
#

falling stars are cool af but as far as pvp concerned

#

ima have to get used to ranged in pvp again

junior plover
#

another owl bites the dust

leaden thorn
#

im mostly doing it for the campaign

#

i may switch later

#

is necro honestly that bad for balance?

#

aaah okay

green valve
#

My surges went from like 16-17k to 13-15k

#

Fury hits pretty hard tho tbh if you swarm it

#

But also what glyph said

clear pulsar
#

Yeah the issue with necro boomie is jus that

#

Games go longer

#

So more room for your team to fuck up

#

And lose

leaden thorn
#

i kinda miss hurricane

clear pulsar
#

Cyclone?

leaden thorn
#

what ever the channeled AOE was

green valve
#

Plague tree really is so good tho tbh

#

Ultimate form the healing gobs 2 potency 2 endurance

#

Trueee

#

Dreambinders prob better then boat tho

#

Especially come 9.1 but i gotta make circle

#

And top off draught

clear pulsar
#

@vestal citrus foe dreambinder go lines up perfect with 18% inc crit from Heirmir tho

green valve
#

And fuck ghast

clear pulsar
green valve
#

Oh shit should we run heirmir?

clear pulsar
#

Draught is absolutely dog

#

For boomie

#

Not even funny

#

Don't even think about that

#

Even if you're getting trained

#

Get the thorns-lite trait

Certain matchups where X affinity is better? Or is it more preference?

dreamy pond
#

Is the skill ceiling for Kyrian Boomy higher than NF? I am leveling and still learning the class, and feel as though Kyrian may be a poor choice for a fresh Druid player?

clear pulsar
#

It makes no difference

#

The spec is the same

green valve
woeful epoch
#

For a normal rotation, is it better to Adaptive Swarm 25 seconds after your first Frenzy and hold Frenzy for 5 seconds? Or would you always save Tiger's Fury and Adaptive for Frenzy?
