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.

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.

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've already talked about and taken a first look at the Delve-specific mount coming in the War Within, but now it's time to check out all of its customization options! 
      LeystTV has delved into the mount and shown off all the options, from the different colors to nose, wing, thruster, and top customizations, with glider, blimp, helicopter looks and more! There's even different versions of Horde and Alliance decals to choose from! 

      And these may not even be all the options present at launch, not to mention new ones Blizzard might add with later patches, making this one of the cooler mounts in the game.

      We have a Crest switch fix and weekly maximum increase, as well as a quest fix in retail, the big class tuning pass for Season of Discovery, and more in today's hotfixes.
      April 23 (Source)
      Items
      Season 3 (Dreaming) crests are now correctly removed from players' currency tabs. Players have received a small amount of gold for their unused Dreaming Crests. Players can now earn up to 120 crests of each type per week in Dragonflight Season 4 (was a maximum of 90 per week in Season 3). This will allow for up to 8 upgrades per week, per crest type (was 6 in Season 3). Developers' notes: For players who don't reach their maximum crest earnings in a given week, we've implemented the increasing-seasonal-cap system from previous seasons. Please note that this increase is likely applicable to Season 4 only. We expect the weekly maximum to return to 90 for The War Within Season One. Quests
      Resolved an issue where abandoning the quest "Something Worth Celebrating" could make it unavailable. Cataclysm Classic
      The dates for Children’s Week have been adjusted so that the holiday begins and ends three days later than previously scheduled. Season of Discovery
      Players who have completed the quest "Warranty Claim" but have misplaced their Pristine G-7 C.O.R.E. Processor before handing in the quest "Salvaging the Salvagematic" may now speak with the Lost and Found vendor Rix Xizzix in Booty Bay to recover the misplaced quest item. Fixed a Sunken Temple issue where the Atal'ai Defenders encounter would not reset properly. Druid The Natural Weapons talents now increases all damage done by druids in Season of Discovery, instead of just physical damage. The Gale Winds rune now reduces the mana cost of Hurricane by 60%. Swiftmend no longer consumes a Rejuvenation or Regrowth effect on the target when used. Developers’ notes: Please note that it does still require Rejuvenation or Regrowth to be on the target to be used. Hunter Rapid Killing now reduces the cooldown of Rapid Fire by 80% (was a reduction of 2 minutes). Chimera Shot weapon damage percent increased to 135% (was 120%). Explosive Shot base damage before attack power increased by 50%. Sniper Training has an additional new effect: while Sniper Training is at 5 stacks, Aimed Shot is instant. Serpent Spread now causes Multi-shot to apply Serpent Sting to its targets for 12 seconds (was 6 seconds). Steady Shot now deals 100% weapon damage (was 75%). Developers’ notes: There are more adjustments coming for Hunters. In general, we intend to improve the ranged playstyle and diminish the melee playstyle so that the two become more equivalent. Paladin Seal of Righteousness damage can now be critical hits. Sacred Shield’s duration is extended to 60 seconds (was 30 seconds). Crusader Strike has now gained an additional effect: Crusader strike now refreshes all judgement effects active on the target to a 30 second remaining duration. Seal of Martyrdom can now “twist” with other seals, including Seal of Command. Developers’ notes: Seal twisting was an interesting emergent effect that became popular during the original Burning Crusade, that utilized the slower server messaging system used in early versions of WoW to slightly extend the duration of the paladin’s active seal for a short time whenever a second seal was cast. This effectively allowed paladins to momentarily gain the benefit of two seals at once if they timed the application of a new seal to line up perfectly just before their weapon swing. We recreated this playstyle in Burning Crusade Classic and since then it’s been a popular request in other versions of original WoW, including Season of Discovery. As the game matures and we continue to listen to player feedback however, we recognize that for some, this is part of the charm and uniqueness of playing a paladin during those early eras of WoW’s history. We consider this change to be experimental and we will watch the performance and behavior of Retribution closely after this change. Priest Shadowform now increases all shadow damage done by 25% (was 15%). Rogue Saber Slash bleed now stacks up to 5 times. Saber Slash bleed now also increases the impact damage done by Sinister Strike and Saber Slash by 15% per stack for the rogue who applied the bleed. Saber Slash bleed now deals 3% of the rogue’s Attack Power in damage per tick (was 5%). Shaman Mental Dexterity now only triggers from dealing damage with Stormstrike and Lava Lash, and it now lasts 30 seconds (was 10 seconds). Burn now increases Flame Shock Damage by 100% and flame shock DoT duration by 6 seconds, and causes Flame Shock to strike up to 5 targets (was 3 targets). Developers’ notes: We’ve received a lot of feedback about the overall usability of mental dexterity, particularly for Elemental Shamans. This ability was not intended to be used by elemental, so the adjustments we’ve made are to help ensure its usage is a bit more enhancement-centric. To compensate, we’ve increased the output and usability of the Burn rune, with a slight quality-of-life improvement in the form of a Flame Shock duration increase which allows two Lava Burst casts to be used within a single Flame Shock duration.
