Personally, from a spec theme pov, I greatly dislike how they turned eclipse into "single target mode" vs "aoe mode". It basically removed the "balance" from balance, no longer alternating eclipses, and any such variety in feeling of what state you were in: different feel of wrath vs starfire, different aoe tools potentially; so much they could have done. Entering an eclipse is not an exciting bonus or change, it is a maintenance buff to do your normal damage, as it has 85+% uptime. Balance is hands down the most monotonous, bland spec to play these days.
Adding to that, i feel weird about the cast time of those 2 spell, having the starfire longer cast who can get canceled by mob dying vs a fast wrath on a boss who live 3+min, I would feel better if they have similar cast time or the opposite, fast starfire for aoe and wrath can feel like some chaos bolts
Has been a long time
I notice they do this to Druids (especially balance druids) all the time. They say they work on it first before any other class because druids are complicated. But they end up doing a mediocre job like “ok that’s good enough, let’s move on to the other classes” and totally disregard the class until season 1 is over.
"especially balance druids" you can't be serious, imagine what feral always felt like since 1962. Christ, people...
@@turbogronil4950 sure
I have said this so many times in so many places.
We are always the showcase at blizzcon or whenever they announce it. Like how they should our talent tree first at the beginning of DF. They did something similar at the beginning of SL.
As someone who just started playing boomkin like a week ago. I would like Orbital Strike to be like a 45 sec CD, that applies Moonfire. It looks cool, it feels cool. and would be something you could have up for like every pack in a dungeon, which would help with Boomkin's ramp time in lower dungeons. Take it off that choice node. There needs to be something like that in the spec to offset having 3 min CDs in a key.
During the dragonflight prepatch we had this cool situation where we got pulsar and orbital at the same time it was so good
They shoulda done druid of the flame for moonkin/feral
Man that’s a great idea tbh
@@VividVoid Im a feral, I just cant imagine either side being anything but hype for that
if thet couldnt do the Elemental/Enh something like elementalist or master of the elements, i wouldnt expect much about the Moonkin Feral
We also the lore reason for that, with 2 Druids of the flame joining us during one of the ED quests.
@@TheGigachad0 and tindral and fandral and all the other random ones about
I agree Boomie need help, as well as sham and rogues. However even more pressing is the fact that healers will be even harder to find with upcoming changes. Kiss/curse affixes are kiss the dps, curse tanks and even more the healers
I have a feeling we wont get any changes until season 2 :(.
I have a feeling you're right
They could add in a replacement for pulsar, where once you have spent x AP you get a free instant cast full moon that does x% more dmg and always critically hits.
TWW will be No moonkins, No Shamans, No healers. CANT WAIT!!!
I haven't seen any positive Rogue videos. But idk if that's a bad thing...
@@rumbleshakes rogue is abysmal.
Probably would fix the game TBH. Less healing is good for the game
Bunch of doomers, it’s gonna be fine.
Been playing shaman for years and Im rerolling
convoke was fun, the venthyr ability was fun. Please all it takes is one fun ability to fix this class.
I hated Ravenous Frenzy at first, but it grew on me. Dying during CDs was disastrous, but I was giga blasting in all content as long as the mobs had enough HP.
How about every time you click starfall it makes all your dots tick x times. It will make your screen show numbers and make an ebb and flow to the spec which lack burst
They must make pulsar baseline
BFA empowerments were a lot more fun to play with than any other eclipse system. Sorry to hear you didn’t like it
thank you for this video! I've been a boomy main for 8 years and part of what I loved about the spec was its complexity and survivability. we no longer have either, thanks to these new talent trees.
Tettles...PREACH!! You NEED to be working at Blizzard!! ❤
I feel that druids and shamans are in a very vad state. So close to release I cant see how they Will have time to fix them.
They wont. In some recent interview they stated that hybrids have best defensives because they are hybrids...what else do you need to see devs are clueless.
they could make something like - put mushrom down, damage mushrom and it explode. the more dmg the more mushrom growth dealing more dmg
Played Boomkin since TBC and the whole reason it got Boomkin name was because it did massive dmg and was able to press multiple targets with its dot damage. Its lost that. Boomkins are about cleave, damage of your dots, right now they are too slow to put up, moonfire needs to apply the same way as moonfire. I'd like to see starsurge used as a spender to generate stacks to turn full moon into an instant cast or something, not just an aimless spender that doesn't even hit hard, bring back the big hitting spell that's always made balance druid iconic. The mobility of the class has always been superior to other classes and again been apart of wows history, now it feels weaker than a lot of other classes as the talents to improve it are out of reach as you have to sacrifice other better Boomkin required points. A point where Tettles said the spec felt 'Bland and Static', thats because there is too many passive stack managing buffs, like Starlord, and debuffs like Waning Twilight, which also have rng. I question why i even say all this as i feel nowadays only likes of people like Tettles that are socially seen across the internet get there views seen.
I hate the eclipse mechanic, there I said it.
Also dont enjoy the "random" mini buffs that you have to juggle. Mini dragon buff, haste buff, orbit breaker, pulsar, BOAT, waning twilight, tier set. So annoying on top of the eclipse. Dotting up feels very archaic as well. Wish they would just make both moonfire and sunfire applied in the same way and increase the range on it.
Another thing that kind of annoys me is because of the movement abilities you are expected to be the spec that does mechanics in most fights. Which could be fun, if you werent squishy as heck for some reason.
I was having fun playing moonkin in remix probably bc of the haste and crit you get but when I tried it on retail I was like this feels like ass lol.
yet feral feels so good, i feel like they need to look at hire/fire or help with class design devs, theres some devs that are truly soaring and doing great, and then some class devs (whoever is doing shaman) needs fucking HELP. ON FIRE. HJELP!
Eh they keep making feral more and more simple too, it has lost a vast majority of its complexity and is an easy spec to play now.
If only warriors and shamens had a voice
It’s ok play mage they are cracked
You need to try out the talent updates. they buffed our builder damage talents by quite a bit. When you talent into these talents and ignore the bottom of the spec tree, our builders do as much or more damage than our spenders. This works especially well with Keeper of the Grove as we no longer need to worry about moonfiring mobs as the treants do that for us. You build tons astral power, your max AP is now 120, and you dont even need to spend it unless you need the three stack haste buff because your builders do so much damage. Harmony of the grove gives 18% spell damage every time you put treants out which means massive burst dmg on pull and its safe since you dont pull aggro. (Note, I took one point of goldrinn to boost our ST in this build as my ST dmg wasn't acceptable imo)
Treant > Sunfire > Orbital Strike > start blasting

so you're saying i can spam wrath and starfire even more?! cool..........
Brother, this isn't a good thing.
Its a shame they got someone like Folty representing the class this time around, cant stomach seeing him ever since the incident.
Another reason the class is boring and weak when pulsar was removed is no more infinite eclipse and double dip mastery power the numbers people are seeing now shows how strong pulsar was. What's sad is I even played a full starfire build and NO starfall and just spammed starfire the whole time with elunes chosen hero talents and all the starfire buffing talents, I was doing 1.5 mil on 8 mob pulls ending around 700k overall
its lame that there isnt a balance/feral hero spec. i mainly play feral but i was hoping for astral cat. i think keepers of the grove is insanely boring.
It's Balance's turn, -> to be crap at the start lol. Mage went through the same thing last expac, before they got buffed midway through the first raid.
23:20 Say it tettles, say the class tree is DOGSHIT
Easy to fix this, devs just wont allow us transparency. Is it hard for them to open a class forum that list peoples feedback?
Seeing is believing, we think our feedback sometimes i heard, but the real issues never gets addressed. Is it hard to sit down and talk to the community and find a solution?
Druid in tww is basically an inferior version to df as of this patch.
Druid and warrior are the only 2 specs i can think of where they did changes that actively made the spec less fun to play compared to how they play now in DF.
Shaman may not have gotten many, if any changes, but at least it plays nicely, both enh and ele. Druid though... What the hell was that?
Yep... Just play Mage or Warlock. What a surprise.
Fowlty is the truth
😂like always there will be boomkin players giving up certain seasons and while their playing a different class or druid spec there will be boomkins in mythic raids and high keystones and getting 2200+ in pvp and the players that decided not to play boomkin will be confused as hell about it and go back to playing boomkin and then peak at heroic raids and keystones below +15 and 1600+ in pvp
I dont trust blizzard to change anything.. I honestly think i will endup playing something else for the first time in 20years because neither the gameplay and our ability to survive anything has improved. I honestly just want to not need to live in bear form and have some actual depth that can make minmaxing output more intresting then focusing on ap waste and uptime x_X
Complete rework of whole class. Even mew class tree is still bad.
I dont want anymore Eclipse mechanics lol im sick of this back and forth gameplay. It would be more thematic and engaging if Balance druids blended and weaved Arcane and Nature magic together instead of keeping them as seperate damage profiles.
i still to this day dont know how this balance team do their work. How is Shaman this shit for such a long time now and classec like warlocks and mages getting all the love and best talents every expansion its so boring man, how do u keep spitting on this classes they deserve much more love, just sad man
They have good ideas for those specs. They also have larger communities so when you have limited dev time you prioritize them. Don't know why that's hard for people to understand.
probably an internal problem. not every class has a dev (dh and rogue share the same dev for example). obviously the popular classes like mage and warlock get more attention than classes like (historically) dk and shaman.
@@sinnis4993 The whole idea that popularity gives more devs looking at it is very very wrong paladin was one of the most popular classes yet ret was the worst dps you could play for 7years.
@@havtor007 and yet prot pally and holy pally were almost always meta in those 7 years. we are talking about the CLASS not the SPECS. big difference.
@@sinnis4993 By that token Shaman has been used in every single raid so no need for changes.
There is always at least 1 warrior for battle shout so no changes needed.
You will always have 1 druid because of mark of the wild so no need to care about Moonkins.
There is ALWAYS 1 dk in the raid so no need for changes.
I for one am extremely glad they removed Pulsar. I also think that there is enough complexity in the spec gameplay. I do not want more actives in a world where button bloat has already gotten out of control. And yes, the class tree is probably one of the worst in the game and bear form for survival as a caster is a reason in itself to not play the spec
Boomkins should be simple and easy to play. Bit of a starter dps class. Want a variety in complexity in a ranged caster? Roll mage.
First comment, not first to be handsome tho (that's Tettles)
If it's not op you guys sent happy shamans news a rework and buffs.
Druid tears are the most delicious, which is thematic as tears of Elune.
I have no constructive comment. I liked Balance back in original BC, but never since, and I've tried, multiple times.
My dream design: Delete Starsurge/starfall, Wrath is the builder, Starfire is the spender (through buff stacks or resources or combo points, don't care). The big aoe ability is a cataclysm/shadow crash type ability that spreads Moonfire. Done.
Sprinkle with fun CDs to taste
Does druid really need 4 specs? #RemoveMoonkin :P
Idk how to tell ya all boomies this but your spec is fun af as a rdruid to offspec in keys. Omg spamming starfall is amazing. Easily one of the most rewarding buttons in the game.
Moonkin and fire mage players when their OTP is not tier S+
It's not really a numbers problem. It's a gameplay issue at this point.
Moonkin wasnt good for the entire xpac tuning wise, and gameplay wise is even worse than DF and it was bad in DF
Smoothbrain comment.
This is what you get playing beta lol ppl so mad and happy about other specs being not in the top 10 “meta” boohoo
Trump 2024 🇺🇸
Still doesn't matter. Worthless discussion if they don't remove the +7 affixes. You should make a new video every few days about how bad those affixes are until they change them.
Oh no, Naguura won't get boosted yet again on Boomie. WHAT A TRAGEDY!
On a more relevant topic, they will probably slap a Band-Aid "fix" on the boomie and that's it. But then again... it won't be meta any time soon.
There are months to go to TWW.
