I am just listening to this while leveling my balance druid, very soothing, great video

[@Phenomenon79]

Very useful guide. Had no idea it was the lack of Astral Communion that was nuking my DPS in 5 mans. Thanks!

[@berniejogo]

Thanks for guides Preach! I've been watching your channel for a little over a year and reccomend you to everyone who is having issues w/their spec/class. One quick question/suggestion, when you're going over rotations/gameplay could you briefly discuss give a 1-2 min suggestion (such as being 1 cast away from Eclipse or Tricks for rogues) of what you think the most important skill/mechanic is that we should concentrate on while leveling or if we've just re-speced? Keep up the great work!

[@Uainebmd]

Thanks for this guide. Looking forward to trying your hints out.

[@Monsian94]

And for burst at the start of a fight, you want to pop natures vigil and incarnation to get the most out of the first lunar eclipse AND the double eclipse phase. Incarnation lasts 30 seconds, so you will still have it up when you pop celestial allignment. This will maximise your burst :)

[@Monsian94]

A word of advice, after using astral comunication to 75% eclipse (almost in lunar/solar) cast starsurge to get into the eclipse instead of starfire/wrath, its a short cast and does more damage than both wrath and starfire.

[@trieu946]

healer druids only, moonkin form because it gives a damage increase and spell haste, tree form does not therefore a dps loss

[@Draikking]

Tidy Plates: Widgets - Just remember to enable them ingame as they default to disabled Requires Tidy Plates obviously, also Tidy Plates: Threat Plates is the recomended skin as used in this video

[@DragonLicker88]

And, ofcourse, the length of the fight. Can't forget that.

[@CAM3RoN11]

rofl, I have been using tidy plates for years and never knew about this feature. Thanks mate

[@BesttBi]

That is an absolutely BEAUTIFUL interface. My god.

[@ampersandkai]

I know this is old, but I think it would be awesome for preach to do WoD guides on live stream instead. The initial guide would be good prerecorded but the gameplay would be fun to see live.

[@LimmBurger]

I miss my Mushrooms. They're a shadow of their former selves atm. I always kinda wished they added a DoT of some kind, like a poison or something when you detonated them to fit it into your AoE rotations more often. I think that would work out pretty well.

[@DradzinaWBD]

I wonder how many times he said " become best friends with them " during this video

[@sarahdavies6738]

just shows where i have been going wrong on my druid. thank you for the good video and maybe no i can beat a ret pally

[@veggerbys]

just shows how bad I suck with my boomie....... this will be one loooong learning process

[@Spuddy04]

it is an add-on called recount or skada, he uses skada

[@NoiaProductions]

Got a massive 120k dps in my healing gear! Thanks for the guide Mr. Preach!

[@DragonLicker88]

i have to agree with you, if it's a patchwerk style boss. But RNG could have made up for it.

[@Mexztli]

If you like knives somewhere in your body, then yes.

[@RupeeNL]

That's Mike's Scrolling Combat Text :)

[@linkinpark768]

From the N to the O to the ok.

[@daviduk1492]

Use keybinds, apply dots, click next nameplate, apply dots

[@Mexztli]

Yolo, is the term of madness, yolo is the term of excellence. yoho.

[@Mexztli]

It does, bro.

[@linkinpark768]

I don't know what time it is for you, but yes I do.

[@Mexztli]

Yes, it does.

[@linkinpark768]

I though you just said I don't sleep.

[@Mexztli]

Nice, btw have you noticed we've been talking for over a week?:P

[@gudge3214]

Warkillz, I'm sorry to say this, but boomkins are actually the lowest dps spec of any class. It would probably be more beneficial to your raid to go resto or feral.

[@linkinpark768]

I want a xxl nacho with beef. The good shit.

[@linkinpark768]

Dopy's last, you can go after him. She'll probably need it after his ass.

[@Chyana1000]

Great guide, do you have any tips on how to apply multi dots fast I seem to lose alot of time here.

[@android16B]

I love my giant fluffy man bear owl.

[@Martushelt]

I've found that the Force of Nature does waaay better burst+overall DPS, but thats maybe just me. *brofist*

[@FlacoSalsero]

That UI is tight. What are you using?

[@FrosTyRecKs]

Preach! When are the warlock guides coming out?

[@Mexztli]

Long time no see, chica.

[@Mexztli]

Nice man, i want to eat a burrito now.

[@Monsian94]

eh, i usually hit starsurge to get into it, then just spam starfire until 0%, does me well.

[@magp1e]

I don't know if it's cause you've just uploaded this, but there isn't any links to the other videos on it.

[@Mexztli]

Oh look mom, it's edd!

[@TminuS34]

So your basically just trying to go from Eclipse to Lunar to Eclipse to Lunar again? Just back and forth?

[@seederism]

i think its tidyplates you get it from curse

[@linkinpark768]

Nope, just now noticed it after you mentioned it.

[@Mexztli]

Are we gona stay on this loop?:)

[@linkinpark768]

Well forget you then I'll go by myself. Hi ho, hi ho, it's off to work I go.

[@simenlillehammer]

what addon are you using too she te enemies helt/mana bar ? and too see which dot is ticking on every enemy?

[@Mexztli]

Nice, wish i could join.

[@Mexztli]

Yes, i does.

[@linkinpark768]

I've missed you :c My ass is lonely.

[@Mexztli]

I know right?

[@MrRobschnieder]

Lol preach on that 1st fight my warlock does 140k can you please make a guide i want to see you do more!!!

[@jacksonmarquardt4951]

Can someone explain the whole eclipse thing because im more of a shaman and never played a druid but i wanna level up a boomy.

[@fish_in_distress]

What add-on are you using to show the DoTs above the mobs?

[@karajane12]

actually let me rephrase that, what Addons are you useing, plates yours and enemy, all that if you wouldnt mind. =)

[@Mexztli]

Hello baby, long tiem no see :D

[@CAM3RoN11]

What is the name of the addon that shows your DoT duration on the target?

[@Bonkbonk100]

No decent Mage/Warlock should ever lose to a boomkin, unless the boomkin outgear and/or outskill them by a huge margin OR it's a cheesy fight where multi dotting will pad your damage. I repeat, a moonkin will NEVER EVER beat a lock/mage of equal gear and skill if it's not on a multidot fight. The mage/lock you've seen are just plain bad or outgeared.

[@linkinpark768]

Fucking yolo, yolo yolo yolo yolo yolo yolo, if I say it multiple times will i live once multiple times?

[@linkinpark768]

Yep.

[@orro26]

should you apply shrooms to your pull as well?

[@karajane12]

what addon do you have for the falling numbers?

[@wymngray]

is the guide video up or just the gameplay?

[@orrannothprotpally]

Sadly tree form is resto only

[@linkinpark768]

What about hi ho? Hi ho, hi ho, its off to work we go!

[@Mexztli]
