I just started playing Balance Druid for the first time. I appreciate the video, but I'm not sure if I'd call it 'Easy'. ;) Thanks again for the vid. I'm sure it'll make sense once I get to end games raids and mythics.
Thank you!! I recently started "re"gearing my boomy and the moon phase build was driving me nuts because it felt slow compared to everything else, like you mentioned.
really detailed vid, been maining balance for a year and have had stellar flare hard locked purely for an easy way of getting a third dot on a target, especially keeping it locked in after learning starfall infact does not count for waning twilight, thanks for including the part about astral smolder counting for it, I can now swap that talent at long last.
Are you going to to make other spec guides too? Because I learned so much from one survival guide you made long ago when you said you recommend using mongoosbite maximum 3 times before regenerating focus I still remember it
Balance is in a good place right now, not necessarily the biggest damage, but the rotation and talent choices feel better than ever. I just wish that starfall is more bursty than a passive big aoe, like same amount of damage but in half the time, even with higher astral power cost. It should be a big deal when I choose to cast starfall, not some passive aoe dot
Thanks for this Guide.😊I have a question...so opener for Raidboss is always...cast wm2 wraths...then put moon and sunfire dot and then get in Inkarnation?Did I understand right?This is always the opner for Single target to get my 2 Set Tier ready?
Its not easy at all though, what is the eclipse thing etc etc. Im just more confused after watching the first minute xDDD Looks like a great video but not noob friendly enough hehe x) ❤
Even at high keys we're weak right now. The ramp time is killing us. I mean in certain groups, and the best players will make it work better than average Joe's. Starfall feels weak, and we just slog along. Moonfire should hit every nearby target like Sunfire. It's a start to reducing some of our ramp up that just isn't paying off. It's been a bad season for Balance.
@@echoechoecho7142 feels very true, doing 11s to practice and things just die so quick I have no time to get things rolling. Damage ends up being super bad
Could you explain to me or could someone tell me what those fire birds are that fall to the test dummy at min 6:28 please, I would greatly appreciate it :)
''Here is the beginner guide for Boomkin! First, here are the talents which make no sense to you because you know nothing about the class, interacting with skills you have no idea about and modifying them into something you have no idea about either! And now you know how to play Boomkin!'' Great beginner guide indeed.
Maybe it's hard for you to understand but hey, I see A LOT of people in the comments being pretty happy with it after picking up balance for the first time :) Thank you for the feedback, we now know where to act
i dont understand?? if its single target, why would i open with wrath if thats my single target spell? wouldnt i want to enhance that? and if not, why dont we always use the 2 wraths for solar eclipse? why is it a rotation between the 2?? this is so odd
Because: (1) Wrath has a lower cast time, and you can't pre-cast two starfires. (2) Your goal at the moment is to consume the dreamstate buffs. (Being in an eclipse faster is more important than which eclipse you are in for that particular goal) (3) After you do that, you pop incarn, so it's not like you are locked out of solar eclipse. If incarn is on cooldown, don't do what he said. (But also, if incarn is on cooldown, that's not really the traditional "opener" situation.)
@@DrummerGAS Ok I guess I can see that. The wording was confusing me "use starsurge every other time" was tripping me up. I thought he meant use starfall on 3 or more, and starsurge every other cast. Which made no sense to me. Just trying to learn =] Thank you.
I am trying to figure out what he meant by that as well, I thought on three or more we just keep spamming Starfalls. As you said, this guide makes it sound like we weave in Starsurges, even on huge packs.@@aaronnewton6034
maestri convertion factor is acktly the worst... versa can convert better than maestry even considering the passive astral maestry from druids. Just to be clear, the factor number for maestry on balance druids are 300 and for versa is 205 (the less better convertion), the current middle point for all classes are 180~170, so basically maestry isn't the best to focus but versa has best convertion rate

Have you ever play arcane mage? Balance is easy mate

Hasha, good times :D
As for other guides, not sure, we will see!
@@MarcelianOnline oh okay I hope you will🤩
Brilliant detailed explanation ! thanks a lot !
I'm thinking of switching from Feral to Boomkin, good video drop!
Good choice!
nooooooooooooooooooooooooo feral is so much cooler. Boomie is a sleepfest and who wants to be a giant chicken!?
@@AlunDowdeswellferal kinda useless to raid and m+.
yeah tryna find a mythic fyrakk kill without feral xdd@@face0fmars

dude i really enjoyed your UI, is it available somewhere?
Did you find any? I would love this one

I only play resto, and need a guide to do world quests faster as cat form in resto isn't that good. fingers crossed this helps

It is simple. It's an easy extremely easy spec to pick up. Mastering it is another thing, but the floor is noobie friendly. You're just stupid.
After which M+ key level is Boomy starting to shine?
I'm playing it at lower keys atm and the dmg is pretty mid because of the ramp up time.
Even at high keys we're weak right now. The ramp time is killing us. I mean in certain groups, and the best players will make it work better than average Joe's.

We need more guides!!
Hello brilliant video thank you.. can I ask how you get your boomkin to look orange? It’s brilliant
how can I improve my stats? my mastery is so low (13%) but I can't seem to get the gear that I need to improve it
Christ, could it be any more complicated?
Could you explain to me or could someone tell me what those fire birds are that fall to the test dummy at min 6:28 please, I would greatly appreciate it :)
tindral's fowl fantasia proc
@@user-zs5pl7oo1d
And how can I get that, could you please tell me?
But the ramp up time, aint fun imo.
can feel shit sometimes for sure
hell yeah man.... ots so annoying :(
@@philwilder5177 yeah, agree!
100%. Seeing other players at 200-300K DPS, while we sit at 100K due to ramp up and weak hitting spells feels bad.
Man it is better to dot first all targets before go in an eclipse or ?
I'm really disappointed by this new tier. The old crashing stars set could pump and this feels meh. Haste and mastery are a must!

@@MarcelianOnline Hats off to your gentleman response. As a complete noobie to balance, it wasn't very clear on me yes. I'll see you on the next one
ooo definitely need this as i plan to swap main to better pair with my mw wife.

im dumb, can someone explain why we weave starsurge into starfall in aoe? As stated at 6:39. Instead of just cranking starfalls
Its explained. Starsurge when less than 3 targets. (more effective)

@@aaronnewton6034he did say that and it’s wrong. That’s an outdated rotation piece from years ago that he probably said without realizing it
I just wish we could use a moonkin form that wasn't a big fat space chicken, lol and i use the Glyph of Stars but i want more options.
cameleon glyph that randomly morphs whenever to are in a moonkin form try that
I don’t think you alternate finishers anymore. It’s based on ST or multi target which you use
Man boomy feels overly complicated these days. I like the lunar/solar concept but it’s difficult to manage for best results.
What...cast lunar twice to go into solar for ST
Cast two wraths to go into lunar for 3+ targets
That's it...?
Tried balance for a bit but man it feels so boring😊
not for everyone, but it's one of the most free casters to play imho
How hard would you say balance is to play from a scale of 1 (BM hunter) - 10 (encha shaman)?
balance is a skillcap build, easy to get into but hard to master when so much goes on but once u got your rotation ists very rewarding
Hello do you use starfall once or does it stack?
You can play starfall more than once
what addon do you use to see your buffs in the center?
Weakaura
Finaly 🎉 love youre guides hope they will come faster 😢❤
Do you use a specific plater profil?
Yes we do! Quazii's plater
Are you forced to be in the chicken form now? No more glyph of stars? I see everyone in the orange chicken form
glyph of stars is still there i use it
They're probably just checking out the new moonkin barber options

My demonlogy warlock mog all kind of droods
sure i Play main boomy and at m+ 20 or 22 keys boomy performs good but 20 or under 20 its bad cause need so long time to do dmg outside cds 😂
LAZOOOORSSS
You have to talents swap? This is why Blizzard fails... I wish Blizz would stop smoking Crack with Fentanyl
not easy to understand
first
Enjoy!
I started playing boomy this season but quickly swapped to DH and now I’m also playing frost mage😊
man of many talents
