Balance Druid 7.3

Recommended Posts

Guest aRk

Hi there,

I'm a Balance Druid in the Taiwanese server. 

I've been able to do 2x SW(with starlord buff) between SS with 10473 haste. Armory link below.

(http://tw.battle.net/wow/zh/character/尖石/小靈牛/advanced 

I would like to ask about the haste breakpoints according to 

 http://imgur.com/a/anpAH   (Gebuz's Emerald Dreamcatcher Haste Breakpoints)

So, my question is, this haste breakpoint table is saying with 0ms latency we need 10833 to do 2xSW with starlord ?

Or there's some changes in the patch making it easier to reach the breakpoint and not 10833 anymore ?

 

Regards,

aRk

I find the entire concept confusing. I tried the opening rotation for NOT having Heroism, exactly as written, and at 11 and 12, it falls apart. There is not enough astral power from two Solar Wraths at that point to cast 3 Starsurges. I don't even know why 'building stacks' is mentioned; unless the Starsurges are cast back-to-back, or you immediately cast Solar Wrath and get out a Starsurge, then you can't take advantage of those stacks.

 

And that's also why the whole "Surgeweaving" confuses me; why do you need the Emerald Dreamcatcher for that gameplay style? You can't take advantage of the benefit the way the guide is laid out, unless you have high haste (maybe). But suppose you got Emerald Dreamcatcher from your first Nightmare Dragons kill ever, then what? It's all very confusing.

How good is Chrono shard?  It seems perfect for balance

I would imagine it depends on a number of things. The best thing to do is probably just to sim your character with it though.

Got it with the "Method" link of the guide

Yeah, the issue is due to the region of the armoury. For some reason, the link goes to the US one for Xirips. It'll get fixed soon!

The changes to secondaries in 7.1.5 could have an impact, yeah.

I would assume this is due to the previous casts. It is only possible under Bloodlust/Hero.

As long as you have the helm, the reduction from it will carry over to your next SS-es. As long as you are casting fast enough, not only from a Haste perspective but from a general gameplay one, you should be able to do the rotation.

http://imgur.com/a/anpAH - I don't think some of those breakpoints are that high at all.

Hello! Question about rotation/priority I am little bit confused about using lunar empowerment charges. When I have 3 lunar empowerment charges should I use all the charges in a row or cast only one lunar strike to spend one charge and then once again cast lunar strike when I get 3 charge, so I would stay all the time with 2 charges?

Yeah, you'll stay at 2 charges most of the time, or in preparation for generating a huge number of Lunar Strike Emp charges.

I'm not sure what you mean? Haste caps don't really exist anymore, outside of very specific situations. There are the caps when the player has the Dreamcatcher legendary, but that's about it.

Please update your guide, feral affinity is widely considered to be the best choice for movement heavy raid encounters(90% of them)

There are updates due to be added very shortly for 7.1.5, so I'm sure this is included in that. I'll make a note of it anyway :)

The guides are currently being updated for 7.1.5! I just wanted to leave a few notes for all of our users that might be getting ready to leave a comment:

  • Some pages do not require updates. The "Last Updated" stat does not mean the page is out of date, it might just not have needed any changes. If you feel that it does, leave a comment telling us what needs changing and why.
  • The process will not happen immediately - some guides will be updated faster than others simply due to the number of resources available. Be patient, they'll be ready when you need them!
  • There might be some continuity errors when making small adjustments to large guide pages. If you do find one of these, just let us know in the comments and we'll get it fixed ASAP.
  • "Why have you not taken into account X buff to X ability?" - remember, just because something got buffed, it doesn't mean it is now automatically better than the other options!

As always, we want to thank you all for being patient while we get things updated and I'm always available to help you all if you need it :)

So is the haste cap still 30% ?

I need to double check this. Given that there is no cap listed in the guide, I would assume there isn't one. I'll let you know ASAP.

you say with oneth's intuition stellar drift become even more powerful, does it beat natures balance on single target?

In ST, no. Stellar Flare does become your 75 talent though.

      We have another triple entry in the hotfix ledger, as Radiant Echoes gets more improvements in retail, while Season of Discovery and Cata Classic get additional class changes.
       August 7  (Source)
      Player-characters
      Steady Flight should no longer be removed after entering an Arena. Quests
      We tuned up the Prototype Shredder MK-03 so that “Eye for an Eye” can be completed. Radiant Echoes Event
      Increased Flightstone and upgrade Crest drop rates in the event. Reduced the HP scaling on all event bosses so that they should be killable in a more-reasonable timeframe. Developers’ notes: This includes both ‘minibosses’ (e.g. Hogger, Thorim) and final bosses (e.g. Remembered Onyxia, Ragnaros). Season of Discovery
      Hunter Heart of the Lion once again has a 100 yard range. Warrior The Focused Rage rune will now correctly reduce the cost of Meathook by 3. Cataclysm Classic
      Fixed an issue where Faerie Fire did not deal intended amounts of threat when used on NPCs targeting another unit.

      Due to a bug introduced with the War Within pre-patch, some players are receiving item level 250 gear from the weekly cache.
      We've seen numerous reports on Reddit and the official forums that the Last Hurrah weekly quest on live servers drop low-level gear for some players. Apparently, the bug was first introduced with the War Within pre-patch two weeks ago and still hasn't been fixed.
      Here's an example of a low item level drop from the Cache of Awakened Treasures by Omnifox.

    • By Starym
      Week 2 brings quite a few changes, as Hunters in particular rise up, while Shadow has a really bad time. The top 3 remains the same and very consistent, so let's jump in and see what's going on.
      Warcraft Logs Points
      The below logs are based on POINTS, and not actual damage or healing, meaning they log the timed completion for the specs, with higher keys getting more points, obviously. The time in which the dungeon is completed is also a factor, but a much, much smaller one, as it grants very few points if you do it significantly faster than just any in-time completion. We're also using the Normalized Aggregate Scores numbers, for clarity, meaning the top spec is marked as 100 and then the rest are ranked in relation to that peak point.
      All Keys
      95th percentile DPS
      The top 3 remains quite stable with the Evoker-Paladin-Warrior trio reigning supreme. We see the first change of the week right after that though, as Frost DK continues its upward march in dungeons as well as in raids, taking 4th from Elemental. Both DKs are on the rise, as Unholy also moves a spot up, taking advantage of Shadow's precipitous 5-spot fall to the bottom of the top 10. Arms remains stable as two Hunters burst in, Beast Mastery taking 8th and Marksmanship 9th, as Frost Mage disappears down towards the bottom. Speaking of the bottom, Devastation gets some new roommates there, as Outlaw and Destruction fall and give Enhancement and Feral a break.

      Mythic+ All Keys 95th Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      All Percentiles
      As with the top percentiles, the top 3 remains solid, but 4th is immediately changed, thanks to Shadow's massive drop in performance this week. The Priest loses even more ground here, falling 9 spots into 13th, opening 4th up for Arms. Beast Mastery moves even higher here, grabbing 5th and moving in front of Elemental and Frost DK, as Marksmanship brings up the rear and completes the Hunter sandwich in 8th. Affliction breaks into the top 10, just ahead of Unholy which dropped to the final spot.

      Mythic+ All Keys All Percentile Data by Warcraft Logs.
      Raw DPS U.GG DPS Rankings
      U.gg's rankings are based on actual DPS taken from Warcraft Logs data, focusing on the top players and span the past two weeks.
      Frost DK finds itself on top in the raw DPS rankings, as Augmentation isn't calculated properly here. Fury and Arms grab the next two spots, moving ahead of Ret, and the Fyr'alath wins continue in 5th, where Unholy finished the legendary axe streak. Even Survival joins the Hunter good times in 8th, where all three specs gather, just ahead of Balance who closes out the top 10.
      Mythic+ All Keystone DPS rankings by u.gg.
       
       
      For even more in-depth data for each individual key head on over to Warcraft Logs. And if you're interested in more info on the specs themselves you can always check out our class guides (updated for the pre-patch), as well as our Mythic+ guides and Mythic+ tier list.

      MoP Remix characters that will transfer over to retail will receive a gear boost!
      With Patch 11.0.2 now live on Public Test Realms, you can copy over MoP Remix characters from retail! It appears all MoP Remix characters will receive a character boost so you can dive straight into action when the War Within expansion launches.

      We can't unfortunately log in to the game with the MoP Remix char on the PTR so we can't confirm the Item Level of gear for max level characters. However, keep in mind that the gear boost will scale with your level, so if you're below max cap, you will receive gear appropriate to your current level.
      When Can We Expect MoP Remix Characters to Transfer to Retail?
      MoP Remix ends on August 19, so we assume the characters will need to be transferred to retail by August 22 when Early Access begins.
