- Just some gameplay of me trying out the new M+ affixes, dungeons/mechanics, and giving Balance Druid another chance. I'll quickly share some early thoughts about both the M+ overhaul and Keeper of the Grove hero spec. I'll probably stream this weekend doing more beta keys, here on youtube!

Ascendant (the blue orbs): A welcoming change to Mythic+. Haste / Movement Speed is always fun, which can allow for some interesting tactics/pulls. The orbs spawn every minute or so on both trash and bosses. The orbs are consumed by CC, interrupts, or damage break (they have a lot of HP, so your best bet is CC). Balance Druid can consume these with Typhoon, Vortex, Mighty Bash, Solar Beam, and Incapacitating Roar. A good amount of options to quickly consume multiple of them. Balance druids really feels better with haste but it would be even more fun with Pulsar... sad.
Challenger’s Peril: It's active above 7+ and just increases the amount of time taken away once someone dies. Don't really see the point since you lose so much already if someone dies.
Tyrannical and Fortified: With both being active at the same time over +10s might be a bit hard. A 2-3 minute trash pull into a 5-minute boss fight right after? I have not tried this yet, but it is interesting. Hopefully, it's easier to tune dungeons/bosses since these affixes are active every week and not every other.
TLDR: High keys will be rough with both Tyran/Forti and more time taken away on deaths. Overall, good changes coming and actually happy to see some more consistency in high keys. It's super fun to actually gain some buffs during the run and not just "curses."

Thoughts about Balance Druid and Keeper of the Grove hero talents:
Good:
1) The treants applying Moonfire to enemies is a good change, and the ramp-up time to Starfire/Starfall spam feels better since it's shorter.
2) The playstyle becomes slightly faster with talent nodes adding more haste after entering an eclipse and cooldown reduction on Celestial Alignment/Incarnation.
Bad:
1) Removing Arcanic Pulsar from the game took away a lot of depth from the spec, which helped keep the rotation interesting. Arcanic Pulsar also helped with feeling weak between long 3-minute cooldowns.
2) You still need to talent 1 point in Treants to even unlock the ability (which is needed for this hero spec).
3) Many of the nodes feel very niche and not useful in M+ dungeons. It's just not interesting pressing Treants every 45 seconds.
Balance could definitely have been more interesting. It feels very much like Dragonflight's Balance Druid but without Pulsar, which is a real shame. Numbers might still be fine once they have done more tuning.

Nice thoughts and nice video. The way i feel about Balance rn, i dont care if they tune the numbers. the rotation is incredibly boring and there is no payoff moment like we had with Pulsar. Its a RIP for me unfortunately.
Thanks!! I agree, it's a real shame. I'm also looking at other specs :o
Druid main gonna be shelved for the first time since LK. Sad but hey, putting the DK or Mage or Warlock to the front for an expansion won't be that bad.
Banger video! As always ;)
Thanks Hampus!!
@@MythicBev Väntar fortfarnade ivrigt på din fortsättning på Zero to Hero :)
@hampusjohansson4364 Med War Within som kommer snart kommer du nog få vänta till första säsongen börjar tyvärr. Hade du föredragit en mer "vanlig" zero to hero eller den "roliga" med TTS? xd
@@MythicBev Hahah förstår de! :)
Vilket som, jag gillade verkligen den roliga med TTS. Skrattade så jag grät xd
@hampusjohansson4364 Haha kanske blir TTS, tyckte nog den var lite mer "unik" xd
Man I'm so sad about the state of balance atm, feels super boring to play and so squishy compared to everything else, praying for some big changes. Thanks for the video Bev!
Yeah, it's a real shame. You swapping main?
@@MythicBev if there’s no further changes then yeah definitely, as bad as shadowlands was I actually really enjoyed moonkin with night fae and venthyr covenants
I assume more changes, tunes, nerfs and buffs are coming. I'm switching to fire mage simply based off the fact it feels outstanding to play. Everything flows so nicely. Even during down time with no cds I have a proper goal in mind. And the entire kit of defensive flows perfectly. It feel like to me the people working on mage play mage themselves and the people working on boomkin play bm hunter
@YunaxEU Yeah okay. I agree, both was really fun, even though I didn't play moonkin that much
@derekcabral1170 haha true about them bm hunter devs. They way you talk about fire mage is how a spec should feel. And I agree, fire is super fun.

This is the first time I feel so saddened by balance druid. Might skip first season if it goes live like that...
That sucks to hear, you don't play any other specs?
@@MythicBev I always played the chicken I don't even know which class I could give a shot 😭
Sad seeing that same boring gameplay for past few years
Yeah, I think the other hero spec is even worse sadly xd
Balance druid got fk in the @$$.....😂😂 Same playstyle actually worst. They removed Pulsar....lol
haha yeah, might be too late to fix it as well... unlucky
