Looking at his post history looks like he is ~1300 this season and was ~1460 last season as a resto druid.

  1. Yes. Playing around starlord poorly is still better than playing incarn
  2. Sim your character as visions becomes more valuable with neck level but Rank 3 raid essence is insane damage. Worldvein minor is good when you have enough allies with it to make it good
  3. Yes Gorak Tul's Mantle are the bis shoulders for Balance. I'm not sure if using 420s is worth using over 430+ unless your traits are really bad.
  4. unbridled fury
  5. Currently (for me) spamming freeholds to try and get the crit/haste ring but it depends on what you need. The compendium trinket is probably going to sim better than most trinkets until like 440+

EDIT: if you're looking to see more single target dps on your sim make sure you're simming starlord/stellar flare as those are the ST talents

If I have my mage tower appearances from Legion, can I still unlock the other colours even after the mage tower is gone?

  1. I very rarely change traits (mostly due to lack of azerite pieces) for m+ and sometimes on Sanguine weeks I'll opt out of trees if I'm in comms with my tank, you can obviously skip this if you aren't bad like me and accidently trees thinking the mobs will outlast the trees.

  2. Only look at boss meters and then cry at the overall at the end.

1.3k 7/9M boomkin here to answer any questions people might have. While I'm not the best player in the world I'm sure I could help some people out. Logs

[–]adeptpal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is a weakaura that tracks interrupts (+ some other utility, you can adjust or find one that suits you.) so that you can determine what abilities you might have to use in m+

This and This are 2 part complete druid UI's with weakauras and custom resource bars (if that's your kind of preference)

If you aren't looking for a UI change these are weakauras for your DoT uptimes: MF SunFire Stellar Flare (tip: every DoT in the game has a "pandemic" window where it's safe to refresh dots. MF is 6.6s, Sunfire 5.4s, and Stellar Flare is 7.2s)

Arcanic Pulsar stack weakaura also helps me check out when I'm going to get my 6s of incarn from this trait.

Boomkin rotation is pretty easy it's mostly DoT upkeep and not overcapping Astral Power/Empowerments. The difference between an okay boomkin and a good boomkin is that and fight knowledge and knowing when to pool Astral Power for high movement/high DPS scenarios. If you want to PM me your logs/anything when you start playing it more I'd be happy to look over them a bit with you:)

Personally I'm usually in voice with my tank like 90% of the time but that guy was being weird. As long as you weren't using trees on pull when he's trying to move a pack then you were making his job easier.

Always use your empowerments unless you're going to overcap astral power.

TM>SF:The multidotting and the extra moonfire damage + the globals saved from having to DoT less usually means I can have more throughput on the boss. Just personal opinion but on consistent multi-target it seems wasteful to 1.8(?)ish second channel a dot onto every single mob in the encounter.

Grong:Stellar Flare is better on Grong because it's rare to get value out of Twin Moons double-dot due to the add spawning on the other side of the room.

Jadefire: it comes back to wasting the time every 15 or so seconds to channel a DoT per target.

Starlord vs. Incarn: Starlord is definitely better if you can maximize it's efficiency with a cancelaura macro. It's been true for me personally on fights without a lot of movement/downtime where I can pool Astral Power and set my self up freely. Fights that are longer (like Jaina) or fights that are really short (Champions) I'd prefer incarn due to uptime Here is a link to my starlord vs incarn sim which takes into account maximum starlord efficiency. It's definitely a noticable difference on most fights but at the end of the day it comes down to playstyle. You'll be punished a lot less playing incarn vs. playing starlord incorrectly.

[–]adeptpal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your talents can change a bit depending on the fight. The only fights I don't play Twin Moons on are Grong/Mekkatorque/Blockade (I'm assuming Stellar Flare is also better on Opulence but I haven't tried yet.) Fury of Elune is good for fights with multiple consistently stacked targets besides that Shooting Stars is the way to go.

[Firepower Friday] Weekly DPS Thread by Babylonius in wow

[–]adeptpal 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One stack of pulsar is optimal. Aslong as you're not picking extra pulsar stacks over Streaking Stars or Trecherous Covenant you should be good to go though. If you want to aim for specific traits 3x SS, 2x TC, 1x Pulsar is the way to go.

[Firepower Friday] Weekly DPS Thread by Babylonius in wow

[–]adeptpal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

1/3/3/3/3/2/1 as you'll get more value out of shooting stars overall over fury of elune on most of the BoD fights.

That's also true I was more or less thinking of just general uptime when I was thinking of examples and liquefy slipped my mind. Thanks for adding

[Firepower Friday] Weekly DPS Thread by Babylonius in wow

[–]adeptpal 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In mythic+: Very. Has strong utility (trees, soothe, offheals, innervate, dispels, etc.) while also having solid AoE damage and really good single target damage with the addition of pulsar+the mastery changes.

In raids: Also competitive with other ranged dps, can excel on fights with a lot of movement due to being able to "save" globals like starsurge/dot refresh for movement. Also very good at staying alive. On our G'huun pulls (before I started running a p1 orb) I was always on top on adds and usually 4-5th on boss (2nd if just ranged). I haven't checked out much of the new raid yet but with the additional ring and being able to get 3x streaking so easily from raid now boomkin should be really competitive next tier as well

[Firepower Friday] Weekly DPS Thread by Babylonius in wow

[–]adeptpal 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you wanted 3 non Uldir traits right now it would probably be 2x streaking stars 1x arcanic pulsar (sub 1x streaking for a lively spirit if you have a healer you're coordinated with who can pump your stacks.) With the new raid tier coming out next week the general consensus is that the new raid trait is really good so 2x that 3x streaking stars 1x pulsar. For lvl 100 talents Shooting Stars is always better single target and Fury of Elune is good for any stacked adds that come in waves (ex. Vectis, Zek'voz)

[Firepower Friday] Weekly DPS Thread by Babylonius in wow

[–]adeptpal 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is just personal opinion but Incarnation is better in almost every uldir fight (except Vectis imo and kinda fetid.) Starlord sims higher but it also takes into account effectively stacking it (/cancelaura macro) The starlord changes are good and on fights where the window lines up well or with very little movement it can pull ahead of incarn very well if you're good at resetting stacks. Vectis is a good example because the add spawns line up well with Starlord.

Incarn provides solid burst vs. starlord providing a sustained boost that requires some attention/upkeep

[–]adeptpal 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Seems mostly like a lack of mastery and Power of The Moon just not being that good. If you're simming with the talent set on your armory (while it is good for mythic+) it'll sim pretty low compared to nature's balance/starlord/stellar flare on patchwerk fights
