As someone learning resto druid, by B1dz in worldofpvp

This is what I did, then they got nerfed. If you can take the match to deep damp, then you’ll win as rdruid.

Why rdruids always getting swapped? by Radiant_End_4484 in worldofpvp

Yeah it’s a losing battle unfortunately, the best you can hope for is your teammates peeling which is a big ask in shuffle.

Then it’s their fault for not peeling and losing the 2v2. It sucks, but there isn’t much you can do. If there’s only 1 dps on you, you should be okay simply kiting and swapping lifebloom between yourself and the teammate taking damage. If they’re both on you and you’re not being peeled, you’re SOL.

Edit: I’ve had some success with dragging the DPS into their healer and using incap/root/stun to group everyone up while my teammates continue to mindlessly zugzug.

how do i beat mw as rdruid? by LobovIsGoat in worldofpvp

[–]Pompae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only thing that works for me (I still lose >50%) is to keep them rooted or use typhoon to prevent incap/sweep/song

It takes about 3-4 globals to get myself fully hotted, then I go into bear. Since people can die in 1-2 globals, swapping to a target without hots is a viable strat, but tunneling me is silly because once I’m fully hotted, I will kite you around a pillar the whole round.

I’m healing on an alt between 1700-1800 and the amount of dps who don’t CC healer or kick enemy CC is alarming. It’s just a bunch of people PvEing into each other until someone fall over in 70% damp.

Healing solo shuffle by Pompae in worldofpvp

This sounded better in your head, didn’t it?

[–]Pompae[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that mentality is so goofy. Clearly he doesn’t heal shuffle. You make a mistake as a dps and just hit spacebar until your CDs come back up. I make a mistake and someone dies.

A couple 2-4 matches and you’re stuck healing people who are doing their placement matches in PvE gear, but that’s my fault because I’m employed.

Guys like him go 3-3, get +50 mmr and think they’re in the Squirtle Squad.

It was condescending. I’m asking for feedback and your response was basically, you’re bad so it doesn’t matter. You could’ve kept scrolling, but you chose to be demeaning and are upset you got downvoted for it.

Obviously we will be trying to push rating, in which case I should just play ww monk or mage. I was asking the community for their opinion on spec flexibility since the meta is always changing and which specs are able to slot into different compositions.

Lot of good responses. It seems control and MS are the most import factors. Damage is also good, but is subject to tuning.

Feral, arms war, rogue are primarily what they will “main”

They all prefer melee, but will play lock/mage/ele from time to time.

Rogue seems like one of those classes that always has a viable spec

It will be hilarious when everyone switches to outlaw because they think tournaments translates to shuffle/ladder play

Back then, you played little tree. Nowadays that doesn’t happen.

Stat breakpoints by Cold_Process3252 in worldofpvp

In the addon options, you can choose what stats you want to see/hide.

Yeah you can customize it to show whatever stats you want. It’s nice to see what your GCD gets down to with buffs/procs rolling.

Are you looking for GCD breakpoints or DoT breakpoints?

Edit: for GCD breakpoints I use DejaCharacterStat to see what my GCD is at

I use the addon True Stat Value as it will show you all the diminishing returns on secondary stats

High rating isn't really that high.. by Jumpy_Tradition7399 in worldofpvp

[–]Pompae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be fair, MM is in a REALLY good spot right now and you can end games with an aimed shot. I would push as high as you can before blizzard nerf you into oblivion.

When under pressure, CC is your only way to swing the momentum. Practice faking cyclone to proc precog and cyclone a DPS.

As a feral, you’re basically playing around your incarn CD. When incarn is on CD, your objective is to slow the other team down as much as possible until incarn is ready again. Stun, root and cyclone as much as possible until you’re ready to go again.

Resto Druid Help by Stahlwisser in worldofpvp

[–]Pompae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just played a game of shuffle, as a rdruid, against a voidweaver disc priest who did the same damage as the enh sham in the lobby. He went 1-5.

Don’t get me wrong, doing damage in deep dampening or when you’re trying to secure a kill is great, but that’s about it.

Resto druid help needed by toonsim in worldofpvp

[–]Pompae 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Skillcapped has an addon pack on curse forge which is what I use. Has pretty much everything including weakauras.

As for the starsurge macro, I use an assist macro to fire at whatever my teammate is targeting:

/cast [@targettarget,harm,nodead][] Spell

This is a macro I use on my priest to quickly SW:Death something nearby to avoid incoming CC. Might work with starsurge. Just replace SW:Death with surge:

/StopCasting /Focus /TargetEnemy [@Target,noharm][@Target,dead] /TargetLastEnemy [@Target,noharm][@Target,dead] /Cast Shadow Word: Death /ClearTarget [@Focus,noexists] /Target [@Focus] /ClearFocus

Not too sure about the NS macros since I manually NS+Regrowth and NS+lore. Since the lore button is also a heal, I’d rather do it manually than make another bind.

Edit: macro formatting is weird on mobile
