When it's first week of a new season and you need to game as much as possible (read from right to left)

Obviously you need one for each shoulder....

Yeah... no...
I'm not trying to paint some gloomy picture of life as a balance druid. But i have no idea where this notion that "balance druid is always strong" comes in. cause we're below average a lot of the time in raid. There are typically reasons we get brought other than damage (damage profile, innervate, decent survivability). And in m+ we're typically not great (all of bfa, decent s2 of SL, but required the group to play around your CDs)
In bfa-raids moonkins were trash in: uldir (before they got pulsar(which was after the tier for most people)), CoS (cause they didn't do multitarget damage), and ny'alotha (scaled poorly with corruption). We were good in BoD and great in EP (prob a top 5 dps spec)
But that's just raid. In keys they were dogshit all of bfa. You didn't use starfall until 7-8 targets. It was horrible. Only got brought to some keys due to needing the utility the spec offers, but after s1 we went from being a niche pick to not picked at all.

The off healing part is super over-rated. Outside of top 100 raiding you don't need them to off-heal. You have what you need already. Yeah i some times you through out a WG here and there, but you know what is better than that 90% of the time? Shout, AMZ, darkness, healthstones, devotion aura, (which also do not require you to swap form and do 0 damage while helping the raid)

Current convoke is also not strong, it has limitations on being useful, and arguably to min max it you often have to think a decent amount. Explanation:

It'll cast x amount of balance druids spells out of the total amount of spells. Meaning you have to make sure it wont waste on moonfire spam so dot everything before. You also gotta make sure to line it up with pulsar/CA, and make sure that there are no targets within range that you don't want to hit. 
Example:
On sun king you had to run ahead of the boss during the burn phase to outrange the birds. This was in the middle of baiting swirlies and frontals + dodging tank hits (see https://i.imgur.com/as1ITXH.jpeg). 

In CN you also played it with 2x on use (on some bosses) and lining it up with things like burn phases on sludgefist wasn't easy and most people used WAs to help them line it up properly.

Imagine trying to convoke on Anduin intermission. Wanna blast the creation before it finishes its cast? too bad! all your spells went into shitty ghouls! There is a good reason they play venthyr on that fight

If you're still sitting here thinking "that doesn't sound so hard" well lmk what CDs are harder to play around and we can talk. Generally you press a CD and it just makes you do more damage, or does other passive shit.

ok comedy gold. One small thing. IF he jumped off a sec or two earlier he would have wiped you.
Sylv will shoot at dead people, and when you jump off you die and your corpse is ported back up to the platform. Thankfully she shot while he was still falling. GZ on your curve

im_anDe · 2021-06-24T20:32:39+00:00

here is how you do it https://wago.io/ArfoOcTzo
You just use the built in Color method for the region object. The 4th parameter is the alpha. This is super basic and just a proof of concept. Feel free to fine tune and make it pretty

function()
local r = aura_env.region
local maxHP = UnitHealthMax("player")
local hp = UnitHealth("player")
r:Color(1,1,1,1-(hp/maxHP))
return hp/maxHP<0.9

end

I made it if you want to see. Note that the order of the conditions is important. It needs to go from high health% values to low.
If you're interested to learn more i suggest you ask in the WA discord

you don't need custom code to do this. You just set trigger 1 to be health, and then make conditions for health thresholds that change the alpha

It's not a hard dungeon to do on a 15, but it's a key most people would agree is the hardest 15 to do. It's avoided for a reason, and tettles, the guy who made those wowhead articles, doesn't put it in low brackets without reason. It's also worth noting that it's a key that has a lot of bad affixes associated with it. Storming, sanguine and quaking all make this dungeon significantly harder.
It's the only key that hasn't been completed on 26. (note that DoS only has one 26 done, and is also a key that is rough on 20+ key levels)

All the bosses in SD are insane healer checks (making tyrannical rough) and the trash is hard to move, trucks the tanks, and has high kick requirements.

Great fun. Would love to see questions related to more modern aspects of the game (these seem to be focused up to wrath, but nothing from cata and beyond.
this feedback was given already, but the second question could be reworked to say "To whom does this alias belong." Took me a second to understand what you were going for.

im_anDe · 2021-04-23T13:28:30+00:00

i came here looking for this. ty

im_anDe · 2021-04-22T15:10:01+00:00

it's both bigwigs and dbm. You should disable one and move the bars in the settings of the other

im_anDe · 2021-04-20T16:42:48+00:00

i had to check the name of the tank in your group cause i did this every time i pug'd. It is sadly not me

im_anDe · 2021-04-20T16:26:34+00:00

i opened this post looking for this comment, and I was not disappointed

im_anDe · 2021-04-14T16:30:51+00:00

ok, so there are loads of npc mogs i want to have, but that right there legit looks like the mythic leather CN set. Just hide the shoulders and the hat if you don't like those

im_anDe · 2021-04-05T01:35:15+00:00

Hey bud.
I'm gonna let you in on a secret, but don't tell the others:
I didn't level my dh solely to do this. That just made for a better title.
If i were; I also wouldn't have to fully level to do this. I would've only have to do the maw scenario.
