Thanks both, much appreciated

[@ItsPummel]

Holy moly is that the god king goose APATHY. Sick video brother.

[@ClassicGho]

The absolute BOOMKING!

[@Riyaniwow]

Bro said everything you need to know and meant it.

[@Vobatrone]

Love the video, very helpful.

[@JoaoDias-gx1rq]

Amazing, thank you very much to you both.

[@Marcoos1996]

Our savior has returned.

[@anders3742]

Thank you very much for the video. I was a little sad to see you didn't ask when you'd use starfall on Nefarian. We hunter trap the boss so people are slowed during the MC, and by the time they're out of range (even with focus glyph), starfall will still be running by the time the next set of MC comes along (may or may not have killed a few people this way) Also, I'd love to have known if he still stays in fire after the patch

[@ClassicGho]

Thanks! I’ve panic clicked off Starfall on Nef so I didn’t hit my teammates haha. A link to his logs are in the description, could take a look to see when he casts it!

[@jeffjohnson8444]

Awesome work Cho. This alone took me from a barely blue overall ranking to a solid Purple

[@ClassicGho]

Same! I got 90+ on a bunch of fights last night! Nice!

[@jeffjohnson8444]

@@ClassicGho More 80's for me, still need to figure out the correct times to stay parked in Solar.

Cheers.

Wish he had boomy vods on his twitch. Only seeing vods from 7months ago

[@vanpattenjames]

At certain points he states that between special situations he switches to his, “normal rotation”. So what exactly is his normal rotation? Does that still include x3 shrooms on cooldown or only during solar eclipse? Thanks great video !

[@MarkieBee]

love it bro boomy= life

[@youareenough2305]

LETS GOOOO!! BIG RED MACHINE

[@themanjake8539]

this has discouraged me 100% from playing boomkin lol.. Ty though for the insight. Not trying to min max more than a demo lock for lesser results.

[@MarkieBee]

you have any tips on addons that track your dots i can't seem to find a proper addon that displays my dots above the target im hitting or above the healthbar of my target,much love

[@ClassicGho]

I heard Plater can do that, but I’m not sure.

[@MarkieBee]

Okay ty ill give it a look

[@zal9205]

common apathy W

[@Mistrudels]

So when you say "staying in solar for quite a long time" can you elaborate a bit on that? I know you don't always have to send a star surge but does that mean stop wrath as well?

[@ClassicGho]

Staying in solar usually means multi-dotting/Shrooms on CD, Starsurges until about to leave eclipse, and Starfire as filler. Wrath only when it’s time to leave Solar.

[@funchicoo]

Yo gho, there isn't a single balance druid cataclysm video in his twitch. Do you know any good boomkin that streams 25m cata raid?

[@ClassicGho]

The only two boomies I know raiding 25m are Lubes and Verrisely (Russian). They also play other classes and stuff though. twitch.tv/iamlubes www.youtube.com/@verrisely

[@dhoff82]

Can’t decide on feral/boomie, lock or a ele/enh shaman lol thoughts?

[@ClassicGho]

They all seem to be pumping right now. I i it bay play Boomie, so…. :-) I don’t know many Ferals that aren’t asked to off tank right now, and same with shaman being asked to heal some fights.

[@buftang]

I can't seem to find the section where they discussed haste breakpoints with and without DI, can anyone share?

[@ClassicGho]

About 0:21:30 is one part.

[@buftang]
