[@Parkour7ful]

I started a balance this season. Was waiting for you to make a guide!

[@bittersweeti1990]

Endlich🎉 du bist meine Rettung hab Grad an einen Guide gedacht von dir und gehofft das du mal wieder einen machst ❤

[@kenmwah]

i was hoping for a guide from you. glad you made it! thanks a lot

[@Goodnews4man]

This was intense. I'm just trying to get back into the game and you have laid out some arcane form of algebra. Going to have to revisit this. Thanks for the upload.

[@Kanoog]

Yeah... I'm a Resto main and feel like testing Balance, shit feels like I'm back to learning Algebra for my 1st time.

[@simpvanas]

I've played feral and guardian since 2008 but I've literally never spec'd into boomkin until this week. I'm excited to master boomy but I'm going to need all the help I can get. Thank you for the guide!

[@0ld50u1]

Great timing, I just started playing my druid again.

[@XCeazyX]

appreciate the cancelaura explanation. I read about that on wowhead and was so confused.

[@alicarsi2568]

Finally Naguura 🎉🎉 Always waiting for it

[@yazan80]

I've waited so much for this.

[@voss3ygaming]

I am so dumb when it comes to druid for some reason. The video helps a bit, but if I can offer a bit of advice, instead of blurring the background and huge text of the rotation/skills, can you show the actual rotation/abilities gameplay against a dummy or something and a shrunken version of the text in the corner or one side of the screen with the cropped gameplay on the other? I have no idea what the names of half of the abilities are and they all sound similar, lol

[@alantellez2892]

Ty so much for doing a balance druid guide.

[@pyb8216]

very clear and very informative ! ty

[@Hagendazed]

Thanks your awesome video! You are the best as always!

[@nicowins]

I started to main my druid again and love balance and resto

[@zaylight]

POG Been waiting for this!

[@RyanSmith-ll5hw]

I want a sweater that looks like that!! It's awesome, also thanks for being a great Boomkin content creator

[@theuhhh167]

Just started playing Druid again since I began playing in DF Season 1. Thank you for making this guide so easily understandable for newer players!

[@davidburlingame2421]

Rerolled to Boomkin season 3. Thanks for sharing. :)

[@TheSilverwing999]

First time boomkin. Cancel aura is a nice tip. I was getting frustrated with wasting star surges while my star lord had 1 sec left on it

[@scotkoogen2324]

Hey, amazing video!!!!! I do have one question though, what it the thought behind taking "Thrash" instead of, say, "Gale Winds" for example? Is there a use case for this skill or is it just to open up the last tier of skills. Just wondering if it is important at all?

[@bash060656]

Kind of what I was thinking on my Druid, a 2+2 set being nearly the same as a new tier 4 set and you can complete it faster, without having to wait weeks to complete a 4 set. Since literally everything aggros now a better A0E build seems more beneficial.

[@Moonwired]

Oh man, i just started playing boomkin this patch, that starlord buff thing was driving me nuts trying to play around it.

[@bradipedro]

I wouldn’t know how to thank you enough

[@Ysantrophy]

Hey Naguura, thanks for this guide , is this still up to date in 10.2.7 with the ecxeption of dreamstate by old t-2-bonus?

[@Skygel]

Good info, Thanks!

[@panagiotiskodonikas1809]

Is it better to let eclipse end before you enter pulsar (without overcaping as) to gain 2set stacks and nature grace or to go in to not lose 4set bonus ?

[@Senhof11]

ITS ABOUT TIME

[@Torrenaxe]

thank you so much!

[@christiangotz3776]

So what i always asked myself - do you enter the according eclipse first before doting? or doting first?

[@wakerk5660]

right in time

[@rickstapylton9948]

Great guide! I have one question though. If I have three targets and enter lunar eclipse and 1 of the mobs die or moves away… should I wrath or star fire the 2 mobs left while I’m in lunar?

[@tookah4895]

Great question, I need to know the answer to this as well!

[@jakubmazur668]

Wrath and starsurge

[@Naguura]

You would starfire 2 mobs in lunar, wrath 1 in lunar

[@aylaa5842]

Thank you my queen

[@ItsMeSteveyP]

Thank you for this! QQ -- Regarding Dreamstate @8:00 you specify Wrath when in Incarn on ST, but what about MT?

[@christianvalente3376]

Wrath on 1-2 targets, Starfire on 3+. She didn't explicitly say this in regards to Pulsar/Incarn, but she did mention it at 9:14

[@TheFatAmericans1]

What are dreamstate procs sorry? is that the 2 piece? I thought you only get them outside of eclipse?

[@Dimadinthapally]

I am a feral main for first time laser bird, do boomkins run a lot of haste? All boomkins look like they cast really quick and mine are slow AF, maybe just because haste is bad for cat I only have like 12%

[@Riggan201]

THX Caro!

[@chidy9699]

My one critique for future guides. When you go over the rotations, show yourself doing it on target dummies. My main is a lock, and I find kalamzis guides for it great if you want to see whati mean.

[@tantrykmagyk]

I know to SIM for stats but generally, what stat priority do you follow ma'am for M+ ?

[@creating_consciously5682]

My dps would be ass withouy these great guides. Ty :) !

[@brendanhill5948]

You make my wild mushroom go boom.

[@Frstypwngaming]

Wait how do you get Dream State procs inside of a non-Incarnation Eclipse other than the one possible if you dont have enough time to cast another Wrath so you cast a non-empowered Lunar Strike.

[@luksen8998]

Hi, why would Boomie use Thrash? I mean, all other choices are almost equivalently useless, but between Thrash, Hiberate, Rejuv and upgraded Typhoon, aren't all these other choices situational better than Thrash?

[@brendanhill5948]

If you’re forced into bear you can apply a dot while your there

[@Erik740t]

What addon are you using for enemy nameplates?

[@hiramob]

Should i use Mirror of Fractured Tomorrows before or after incarn?

[@81autumn78]

Hi, I just leveled a druid with the intention of playing balance and loved this guide but had a question because i'm a little confused. Once we enter lunar or solar depending on ST/AOE, when it runs out are we supposed to RE-ENTER that same phase or swap them back and forth for the rest of the encounter? So if im fighting a ST raidboss, do I want to stay in solar the entire time, only using starfire to get back into it? Thank you!

[@81autumn78]

also, is starsurge only for ST and starfall for 3+? Do we ever use starfall for our DoTs or do we always reapply them manually? Thank you

[@Serix82]

What's the addon in the bottom right? Is it showing which spells to use?

[@MiroKrotky]

I Wish there was a shaman pve person like you

[@Vi_Ikari]

quick question but does raidbots sim still work best for m+ using multiple bosses with patchwerk fight or is it better to use the dungeon slice style?

[@Plutoquintana]

Sim both patchwork and dungeon slice and weigh them both in

[@maxhoglund203]

so single target encounter i only press wrath and uses my dreamstates on wrath to get the 100% dmg increse x2 ? never starfire in singletarget?

[@ruger5044]

whats the point in waning twilight? dont have 3 dots up unless you take stellar flare

[@maltesorensenyt]

Don't you mean the 2pc+2pc is the same as the OLD 4pc? Because that seems like it's accurate. The new 4pc seems to be a 5.2% upgrade from 2pc+2pc? Had another question. How can you use your dreamstate buffs in eclipse without casting incarn/celestial? since you get the stacks when you get out of eclipse, and you need to cast 2 wrath/starfalls to get in to a new eclipse, then those stacks are gone?

[@Naguura]

Yes, compared to the old one!

[@hancysp]

Pin this please@@Naguura . Got me thinking as well.

[@mattcyr2109]

I came here too find out why we take new/full moon, instead of fury of elune. It makes everything feel clunky and I cant find a legit reason for it. Is it just like better and if so how much, I literally cant find it anywhere lol.

[@Atljeepboy]

I'm new to boomkin how can you tell what eclipse you are in?

[@soscotty6600]

im confused about PULSAR do i need to go back to legion and somehow get it?

[@efyuar]

how the hell do we utilize the "wild mushrooms" talent in tindral fight ?

[@WoWOriginal]

does it matter how many starfalls you have active? I think 2 is cap right? so do you fill with surges?

[@bananerna2601]

3 is cap!

[@Clubby_]

When are you releasing your boomkin guide?

[@Seprilox]

In the Dreamstate part of the video she says to always cast wrath in solar eclipse and starfire in lunar eclipse. But the only 2 situations where we have dreamstate proccs in an eclipse is when we press incarn or when we enter incarn through pulsar while having the dreamstate proccs. Which means if we have dreamstate proccs in an eclipse, we always have both eclipses up for the dreamstate proccs. Otherwise we have to use the dreamstate proccs outside of an eclipse to get into the new eclipse. Or am I missing something here?

[@Naguura]

If the start of your filler is still inside of eclipse but ends outside of eclipse it will count towards your next eclipse but wont consume a dreamstate stack, resulting in a dreamstate stack still being up when you enter eclipse

[@Seprilox]

@@Naguura I didnt know you could do that. Thank you very much :) Everyday there is something new to learn

[@Rexroy]

How does this work with Warrior of elune, do you just skip using it entirely for the sake getting that dreamstate wrath in eclipse?@@Naguura

[@maxhoglund203]

@@Seprilox damn i must be so slow i dont understand this !!!!!!!!!

[@antonlarsson45]

I got the Corrupted Starlight and it looks like it could be really good but it seems to be bugged atm cause i cant get it so show any dmg on the pool anyone know ?

[@_kirinken5621]

In my opinion, you should use pictures of the skills to find a way to understand what is necessary in battle I am a beginner btw All the best

[@selephius]

Will there be updated guide?

[@steve2718]

Any good weakaura recoomendations or macros?

[@user-le4jt9ne2f]

with boat stacks do u mean Balance of All Things?

[@wizbiz1589]

I'm completely new to balance, so here's my question: if you pre-cast wrath and enter lunar eclipse, but it's single target fight, then do you just starfire repeatedly to use the lunar eclipse buff? Why not just start with 2xstarfire to enter solar eclipse and then buff wrath? I think you're saying that I should use wrath anyways in Lunar eclipse, unless Dreamstate is active. I tried both starting with 2xWrath or 2xStarfire and for ST, I consistently get more dmg when I start with starfire and have Solar eclipse. Can anyone help me about this?

[@tomcoeckelbergh5124]

You can't precast 2 starfires because starfire puts you in combat directly (it has no travel time). So you do 2x wrath and 1x starfire which will hit right when combat starts if u stand at max range. You're correct this puts you into Lunar eclipse so you use the last Dreamstate on another starfire. THEN you press Incarnation which overrides the Lunar Eclipse and you can start slamming wraths. Hope that clears it up!

[@joshpotter574]

Also if you are ever in 1-2 targets, you always wrath.

[@Nettesvideo]

You clearly have a great knowledge about this class/spec but for a beginner this is REALLY overwhelming and a bit confusing. Especially when using so many abbreviations etc. You also speak very fast. I am, however, sure that old-time players are very happy with this video. Sadly, I just need to find another.

[@emanl84]

Single target I am constantly bottom dps, no matter how much I try to do it right

[@Zerck]

Can u link your WA? Thxx for the guide!

[@affenphobie]

I'm a lil confused, should I use mushrooms or nah? You mention them in the guide but according to subcreation only 1,5% of balance druids play mushroom atm

[@Plutoquintana]

Mushroom is nice, but there’s better options

[@Rose-cv9lj]

It’s possible that’s single target build

[@pmuk4]

Is fury of elune a dead talent now then?

[@sapiruwu3799]

so for stupid ppl like me. in m+ you replace between aoe talents to st talents in the middle of the dungeon for the bosses?

[@nileshchainpuria6383]

You cannot change talents in the middle of the dungeon, just go for the M+ build which will primarily have aoe talent and some single targets too 🙂

What is a BoAT stack?

[@lorecraft9883]

what do you mean when u say u cannot recraft the boots? im confused

[@Naguura]

You can't recraft a different embellishment onto the boots, cause they come with the embellishment on it Smt like Shadowflame or Blue Silken Lining can be changed/recrafted to a different embellishment

[@lorecraft9883]

my bad, i see what u mean@@Naguura

[@Sebleh]

I watched this video on the first day of the season and my IO immediately shot up from 0 to like 1800 (by the end of the week). I've never felt so jacked as a druid since watching this guide. No performance enhancing Mushrooms needed, just fully organic 100% farm grown non GMO free range Starfall mashing. Moonkin? More like Swolekin. Best guide. Tipi Topi.

[@hanzomain8302]

Einer der besten Boomkins in der EU. Würde mich aber auch über einen deutschsprachigen Guide freuen. Leider können nicht alle meine Guildies Englisch 😢😢😢.

[@damianbennett6770]

Ngl accent so hot 😅 good guide to loving boomkin this season

[@user-bf4ur1qs1r]

This deserves to be trending. KZbin, do your thing!

[@danatwork206]

Dreamgrove says to use wrath for 3 mobs and below, you say 2?

[@Naguura]

I think you're looking at 2 different things. One is with incarn and one without. Incarn wrath at 3 and below, outside of incarn 2 or below

[@danatwork206]

thank you!@@Naguura

[@subtledisastr172]

Balance is the new John Madden. So confusing

[@lordfieldsworth595]

You didn't show the rotation at all :(

[@-t96]

starting balance this season since shadow priest got nerfed into the ground, ty for the guide!

[@minstrelca]

Sounds like a solid reason to abandon your spec, way to show loyalty and up with FOTM :)

[@Necrostrike]

@@minstrelca Balance isn't even fotm. It's made of wet toilet paper without sporecloak, druids have the worst defensives in the game alongside shaman, and balance is not featured in the mythic world race nor is it even a meta class for season 3 comps, BM, havoc, rogues, and fire mages are.

[@Awokei2879]

Just some feedback having giant text cover the screen kind of sucks when I’m trying to read it listen to you and then also watch it in action. Might as well remove the gameplay video all together cause you can’t even see it

[@Awesometailz]

Balance of all things talent.

[@picklesandufos7860]

Shouldn't be saying "we don't play this talent now". That's assuming. Just say "I choose this, or choose that". People play for different reasons. For instance, some don't raid, others don't pvp. There really is no "best" talent setup, it all depends on what you want to get out of the game. I setup talents so that I have the most fun for what I play for.

[@ItsKingGrizz]

This guide has a lot in it, but it's very informative and breaks a lot of things down that people have issues with. Honestly it was an amazing guide. Just take it section by section.

[@user-wr1om9gl8o]

I've played moonkin since wrath. Been very close to rank 1 and have been 3k+io . Moonkin right now is both rewarding and infuriating to me. In PvP you get tunnled by very strong melee classes (just the way the game is right now. And in low keys (+13 or lower) you really feel like you are not even getting to play your rotation out. That being said when in PvP you learn how to make space and land effective cc and get DMG off under immense pressure it becomes super rewarding and when you get into those high keys where andh or a hunter doesn't mash everything before you touch it and your rotation gets going you feel so fucking powerful. just stick with it and embrace the suck because when you do 300k dps in a rated bg or 170k DPS in a 3s game finally you will nut all over your keyboard
