As someone with ADD, I feel like the rotation parts of this video would really benefit from visual aids rather than just explaining. I mean, things like ability icons popping up onscreen as you mention them, or maybe a clip in slow-mo, focused on you, showing the opener/rotation in action as you explain it. Just a suggestion!
i had to watch that part like 10 times cuz i have started Boomkin recently and i was like which one was star what . and the names are litteraly the same star something or eclipse some thing ...
Omg thank you nagura, for the last 3 days I've been trying to level up my boomkin and figure out WTF what I'm doing and it's doing my head in, this guide could not have come at a better time
Started working on my Boomy alt. Opened up a written guide and was so confused by some of it. I knew I should have come here first because this is a billion times better then any of the written guides I have seen, talking for any class.
THANK YOU SO MUCH. I'm loving Balance druid but I was quite confused about how to manage dots with eclipses. This video was so, so helpful. Can't wait to log in again and try everything :D Thank you again!
I red all guides i have found in internet and no one managed to answer my questions EXCEPT YOU. If i could i would liked the video 10000 times. THANK YOU !
I wish there was a good new to the class 50-60 video. I am trying out balance and this video had so much information packed in I couldn't even process it. I have played most classes in Wow at max level over the years but balance rotation has the highest learning curve so far.
Been playing guardian druid as alt for the last month , and having much fun with it , bear is so funny and so intuitive and easy to play , very underrated for sure , thanks so much on the video , balance is also so fun to play , tyvm /bow
i have a balance druid as my alt. Because of you, i can already pop 5k overall dps in a mythic 10+ with 185 item level. In normal raid i log legendary. Your guide is amazing. Thank you so much!
I've just watch this guide because i made about 1,2k overal DPS as 200ilvl boomie. Then i read this comment. Gonna kill myself because of my lack of skill ...
Was kind of hoping for more visuals. I'm I'm visual learner. Other than that thank you very much for the guide! I'll be returning to wow in a week,, after a year away!
I have watched so many videos about balance druid on your channel i was humming that song in the end of all of your videos without even noticing it at first! xD Nice videos you have about the druid. Subed and liked...and followed you on twitch too :D
wow. great explanation. I've been doing things completely wrong. I always just opened up with sunfire, then some moonfires. then rotate eclipses with wraths and starfires with occasional starfalls. Now i'm looking forward to my next run whatever it may be.
Excellent and much appreciation on the thoroughness around the opening rotations. One thing you may want to consider adding may be around pandemic, and how it affect all of the dots and starfall. One of the mistakes I was making a lot was refreshing starfall prior to pandemic range, and not sure how many understand that mechanic and how to watch for it.
Thank you for the guide, I need to digest this information. I’ve been playing WoW a long time, playing many classes and specs, but for some reason, balance druid is the one giving me the most trouble to master. Maybe I’m just getting too old 👴
Having a hard time to keep a decent a mount of dps. In one dungeon i'm doing 4.8k overall and in the other i'm doing 3.8k and am just above the tank which frustrates me and my party members Because we failed the key..😓 i know i'm not the best. Just switched from bear to boomy. Great video tho i learned a lot! Looking forward to your 9.1 video! Subbed when i saw it! Keep up the good work.
honestly that's what i am looking for! thank you for your guide. I was wondering about the starsurge if it is better to cast for emp those skills or not! thank you thank you :D
you all probably dont give a damn but does anyone know a trick to get back into an Instagram account..? I somehow lost my account password. I would appreciate any assistance you can offer me!
@Roman Duncan Thanks for your reply. I got to the site through google and Im trying it out now. Seems to take a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
Hey, is it possible that you share your nameplates settings? I really enjoy the simplistic approach there! Other than that - love your videos and the way you explain raiding from a different point of view
Amazing video! Probably a noob question but around 12:38 you said you don't want to refresh dots outside of eclipse because you reduce eclipse up time. Can you clarify that further why that is the case?
You don't want to spend time outside of your eclipse, because your starfall+dots+any other astraldmg and lunar or solar dmg is increased while being in an eclipse
Love the video! As a boomkin I am having difficulties in keeping up my DPS during lots of movement fights! Is there any suggestion or rotation recommendation? (i.e. CN's Artifactor while placing portals and moving seeds )
Thank you! We don't really have anything we can do while moving, unless we can somehow enter an eclipse before the movement, then we can cast the starsurges we have pooled AsP for. Otherwise we just have to spam dots unfortunately. On AoE you can use Starfall ofc to cast while moving
Umbral Intensity seems really really good. I have a hard time understanding why a 42% increase in eclipse bonuses (which should be up all the time) is worse than a 1.3% nature/arcane buff. What am I missing?
Umbral only affects the eclipse bonus to starfire and wrath, so not the mastery component of it So your starfire crit chance is increased and wrath dmg. While Fury gives you 1.6% more nature dmg + 1.6% arcane dmg (so ALL of our spells, double dipping for astral dmg, so starfall and starsurge) But as I mention in the video, both conduits are good and it doesn't rly matter what you run, the differences are very minor
Often on your vids you ask for what we want to see. WeakAuras for Boomkins. Especially to help utilize the crit bonus from the Legendary (forget name at moment) when CA starts. I need one that cues me to starsurge if I have the AP. Other good balance druid WAs....
Informative and a very pleasent person to watch for once, instead of some bearded sweaty gamer! (only thing that existed last time i played the game) :,)
Hi and thanks for the video! When you are talking about which root to take you mention its better to take Niya but Niya has only one potency slot and you mention that both Conflux of Elements and Fury of the Skies are good to take. But considering there is only one slot for them which one is better to have? Thanks!
How can you add both conduits that you mention for Niya as Night Fae, Conflux of Elements and Fury of the Skies... if like you also mention, you take Niya's Burrs, not the second Potency conduit... not sure if you're just saying, use those two conduits in the Single Potency slot, as we see fit individually... or if I'm missing a way to have both.
I main guardian but I want to give boomy a try. But I’m necrolord so I’m guess to just start the pull with adaptive swarm and spread my dots for the buffed dots?
Great guide thank you! I have only one thing I don't understand. You said keep Starfall up 100% of the time and I already tried to do that, but i think in 1 of 100 cases Starfall pulls any other mob group which I didn't want to pull and the other 99 cases you pull nothing additional, so I really don't understand if there is any system behind starfall, because of it's huge range, when you pull something and when not.
Starfall only hits mobs that are in fight and not cc. when u have a grp of mobs fighting eachother even when u are not in fight u will pull them with starfall
Hi there! So i recently got the Empyreal Ordnance and i use the use trinket from De other side like you do. So my question is when the fight begins should i hold off on my cooldowns until i can use my de other side trinket? Thanks for any help.
So I am a little confused... according to the research I’ve done you should prioritize solar eclipse for single target but I have to cast starfire to enter solar and starfire is only good for Aoe and not single target. I should be casting Wrath because it’s better for single target but If I do that I end up in Lunar eclipse... So I’m basically going back and forth between solar and lunar but can’t prioritize neither one lol
I didn’t understand about neya conduits , because you said for go in the endurance but if i do it I will take two endurance , so I can’t put two damage conduits how you have showed
'sim' is a short for SimulationCraft tool.... Install the addon and use the site RaidBots to see what is better for you caracter... on her chanel, has a video explaining how to do it.
^Just adding from above - And use /simc ingame to copy into raidbots, it even counts your inventory. Open the bank and do /simc aswell if you have stuff there and wanna sim. Remember to sim top gear, not stat weights.
Bloodmallet has pulsar being 3rd on single or cleave. But then, bloodmallet says balance of all things is the best in any situation. Maybe it’s a preference thing, but I can’t see a reason to use pulsar. Everything else i think sounds really good
Your contributions to the druid community is immeasurable. Thank you

Actually super solid guide! Thanks Nag.
Just started my balance druid! Pretty awesome so far :)
Good Morning. I really enjoy a LOT your videos. You are great explaining and clearing how dps as Moonkin. Thank you!

Could you do a video explaining when and how to best use utility? cc, heals, innervates, etc.
Convoke spirits

Such a smooth , simple , clear and complete Guide , thank you so much much love !!!!
Now i completed watching it and this guide is absolutely stellar! Exactly what i was asking for, awesome. Thanks a lot
You make, by far, the best balance druid content available. Great work, keep it up!
@Naguura thank you so much for explaining the astral power reset. It has been bogling my mind for days, trying to learn boomie for m+
It provides subtitles in your videos, I don't speak English, but I understand the writing well, thank you in advance.
Leveling a balance Druid and this was helpful.

Definitely helped me a bunch though I still so confused on their rotation...just going to take time I guess to learn it :/
Really fantastic guides. Only recently discovered you and am very impressed. I main a balance druid and this is very helpful, thank you
Thanks for the WA link, by the way, super helpful! All the best for the new year!
Great guide, really informative and well made! Keep it up!
Wanted to say thank u I needed to learn balance and this was the jackpot 👏🏻
thanks for keeping the boomie alive with this guide. all my prior boomie legends have gone away.
thanks you for this amazing help of the rotation you explain everything perfectly you are the best kiddo. keep going like this
wow. great explanation. I've been doing things completely wrong. I always just opened up with sunfire, then some moonfires. then rotate eclipses with wraths and starfires with occasional starfalls. Now i'm looking forward to my next run whatever it may be.
How’d it go?
Thanks for this guide! Now i see my mistakes and why dps not soo high as it must be.
Thanks a bunch! Please keep posting even if it's just for the Boomkins!
Im maining feral druid, was thinking to try balanced because it looks so chilled and relaxing. I might just stick to feral :p
Yeah I HATE Eclipse.
Yeah FERAL in Shadowlands :3
Balance with boat is goat, f love it.
@@phearalstormrage My nick is Phearal on the druid 😂
@@gollese what’s boat?
I was doing 2k dmg max, now it gets to even 20k lol what you re a legend
2k Max :-D you should do more than just auto-attacks bro!
Excellent and much appreciation on the thoroughness around the opening rotations.
One thing you may want to consider adding may be around pandemic, and how it affect all of the dots and starfall. One of the mistakes I was making a lot was refreshing starfall prior to pandemic range, and not sure how many understand that mechanic and how to watch for it.

Nice explanation! Thanks! Greetings from Ukraine!
This was great.
Can you explain why you convoke on melee range please?
Thank you Naguura! * - *
love your guides
At 0:50 you said potency isn’t that good but then at 1:38 you said go for conflux and fury of the skies or do you mean you can go either one?
Holy shit. I did not know about the second potency conduit thing.
she says we want to go for burrs, but then u cant go with 2 potency conduit things
So can I reset everything and customize it to how I want? Or once you pick something you can’t go back?
If there is like 4 stacked mobs, isn’t better to use starfire even if you are in solar eclipse?
Wouldn't burrs be wasted in m+, especially on raging or necrotic weeks where the mobs are constantly moving?
So I am a little confused... according to the research I’ve done you should prioritize solar eclipse for single target but I have to cast starfire to enter solar and starfire is only good for Aoe and not single target. I should be casting Wrath because it’s better for single target but If I do that I end up in Lunar eclipse... So I’m basically going back and forth between solar and lunar but can’t prioritize neither one lol
Are you always bouncing back and forth between going into Lunar and Solar Eclipse?
I didn’t understand about neya conduits , because you said for go in the endurance but if i do it I will take two endurance , so I can’t put two damage conduits how you have showed
You only play with 1 potency conduit, because that path has a spulbind trait that's better than a second potency conduit
Wow what a nice guide, thanks.

i dont get it is kyrain on night fae better for balance
depens on situation, there is an extra video
Bloodmallet has pulsar being 3rd on single or cleave. But then, bloodmallet says balance of all things is the best in any situation. Maybe it’s a preference thing, but I can’t see a reason to use pulsar. Everything else i think sounds really good
Can you get the bell? Mastery ? As nightfae? I been looking for months missontable and wq and never seen it please help
Hi Naguura
Thanks for the video, also question...
Do you think Blizzard will change the Eclipse system going into the next expansion?
fury of the skies and conflux of elements are both potency.. you cant go down Niyas tree the way you described with both those
