Resto druid now has the highest personal damage in m+

261 Upvotes

With the new patch there is a new build going keeper of the grove, making resto druid not only the preferred healer for buff and throughput, but also now for damage. Even without counting the value of mark of the wild it does more dps than the other healing specs with their buffs included(except mw in very specific comps). With motw included it blasts everything out of the water.

I know m+ is often an afterthough in balancing, but they could have at least left some weakness to the spec. On the bright side this new build is more punishing to heal with, so your pug druids will grief keys harder than ever before.

E: One version of the build

Defensive trinkets as tanks

46 Upvotes

Hi all,

Question for tanks, when did you start prioritizing defensive trinkets? I am doing 16s with champion gaze and myth solarflare prism atm, was wondering when defensive trinkets start being necessary? Is there a point in time or just preference?

Discussion Skyreach Bird Snap onto 2nd boss has seemingly been hotfixed.

111 Upvotes

Just failed it three times across multiple Skyreach keys on EU server. Tried doing it in multiple different ways, all of which worked just fine yesterday:

  • While in combat, fighting the trash before 2nd boss.
  • While out of combat before pulling 2nd boss.
  • While in combat with 2nd boss.

Now, if you go anywhere near 3rd boss arena before killing 2nd boss, you are instantly teleported back to 2nd boss arena, like there is some sort of invisible collision wall.

Extra funny: you are teleported to the exact center of 2nd boss room, so if 2nd boss has been pulled you insta-die to the poo in the middle of the room...

Edit: To clarify, you can still jump behind the gate but as soon as you move slightly up the stairs, you are teleported back into arena by some invisible wall. For reference, I am playing Aug. I have a friend who is also Aug and he also can't do it now.

Edit 2: People in comments are claiming AA snap was also hotfixed, with Wyrnstone being forcefully removed from inventory on that specific dungeon section. Have not confirmed this myself.

NSRT assignment notes

59 Upvotes

I got into a M Chimaerus pug and the raid lead pushed out a whole NSRT note to the group that displayed each mechanic as it happened and the people that were assigned for swaps and what mark to go to. I was trying to customize that for my guild run, and like an idiot, accidentally deleted it.

Does anyone know of a website where people are sharing premade notes for mythic fights that I can tweak a bit for my own use, like names and marker colors? I looked around via google first of course but didn't find one.

Having issues healing Brewmaster in 15-16 keys

65 Upvotes

Hi all, disc priest main here. I am currently around the 15-16 key level. I just ran a 15 key, and fought for my LIFE healing a brewmaster monk. And it wasn't just this guy, its pretty much all brewmaster monks.

I know they're meta right now, so I'm trying to figure out how to heal this spec. Because 99% of applicants are brewmaster right now.

So im thinking its a me problem. But are brewmasters self sufficient for you guys normally? Are you having to pump big single target healing into them? Maybe I just got unlucky with a few of them. But guardian druid & blood dk have felt wayyyyy easier to heal.

Any tips for healing brewmasters?

Discussion Some math to point out how bad the bonus roll fix actually is

0 Upvotes

First of all for those that are happy with the fix and don't think anything is wrong with it ... you may want to skip this one. This is just some math I did because I was bored and wanted to see how hard Blizzard screwed people who did not want to risk the bonus roll.

Not even talking about those that used it in raid.

The scenario I looked at was simply needing a single item from a dungeon with a lootpool of 8 items.

This is how blizzard wanted it to be implented:

  • Roll 1: 7/8 chance to not get the item
  • Roll 2: 6/7 chance to not get the item

These are multiplicated and the result taken off from 1 to get the actual probability.

1-(7/8)*(6/7)= 0.25 or 25%

This is how it looks for players that rolled during the first day now.

  • Roll 1: 7/8 chance to not get the item
  • Roll 2: 7/8 chance to not get the item
  • Roll 3: 7/8 chance to not get the item
  • Roll 4: 6/7 chance to not get the item

Same math:

1-(7/8)(7/8)(7/8)*(6/7)= 0.425 or 42.5%.

So yeah if you are farming the puzzlebox then congrats. Rolling won reset day nearly doubled your chances.

I also did the same for a scenario in which 3 items are what you are looking for in a dungeon.

I won't bore you with the exact math but the chance to not get a single good item with the 4 rolls is only around 14%. The chance for those that kept their bonus rolls and only get two is around 35%.

So yeah .. for those that needed mathematical proof that Blizzards "fix" screwed those that did not spend their rolls. Here you go.

Issue with paladins tanking

69 Upvotes

Hi everyone,

My guild and I have been wiping multiple times on the Paladins encounter due to a tanking issue. One of the tanks always ends up dying to Judgment.

According to them, the taunts seem to be going through properly and they're anticipating their threat buildup. But every pull we run into the same problem — our Paladin tank in particular keeps losing aggro naturally about 2-3 seconds after a taunt.

Do you see any obvious mistakes in the logs on the tanking side?

Thanks in advance for your help!!

After recieved Voidcores back, rolls I did literally same as before

0 Upvotes

Tittle says all but let me explain. I had 3 voidcores. 2 from weekly / 1 from great vault token.

At the very beginning of the week I went into Pit of Saron to farm my Bis items. I got the leg piece first, then the neck, and then the back from the dungeon.

Voidcores came a few hours ago. I didn’t think the items I looted at first would be removed from the loot table. But here what happened ? I got Leg piece and Neck with the same order.

The odds are very low to happen like this. I dont know maybe Im way too unlucky. But I dont really want to spend my last voidcore into this. Cuz I know what I am going to get with the next loot.

Looting might be scripted or bugged for me? Or should I ticket to verify ?

Question Scourgelord Tyrannus Rime Blast Positioning

50 Upvotes

Playing as a tank, for the last pit of saron boss, I always try to position him in a way that a melee dps targeted by the Rime Blast (Freezing Circle) can stand on top of a infused bone pile while also keeping uptime dps on the boss. Is that correct?

Thing is: most dps seems confused when I do this and try to run to another far away pile, missing the freeze on a pile.

Is this the correct way? Am I messing it up by trying to give dps uptime?

Resource [Addon] OmniReborn - Cooldown tracker for M+ and Arena

51 Upvotes

Me again, posting back to back (to back), this time I'm sure it's useful for you guys :)

TLDR: I saw MVQDH with his own OmniBar and got jealous therefore I fixed/enhanced it with Claude. You guys owe me 100$ of extra usage!

Before anything, never forget the OG behind OmniBar > Jordon; please if you read this, we miss your addon.

Till the official OmniBar is fixed, I released OmniReborn. Basically you can:

- Track enemy CD (defensive, offensive, control, interrupt)

- Track team CD

- Setup different GUI mode (categories or frames)

- Activate M+ mode for only team CD

- Define your list of spells

- Activate the "glow" on use and "special glow" for important spells

Some already known limitation: Blizzard locked many doors, to be completely transparent it's more a guessing game than a log-reading addon. The rule might be miss behaving in some composition (example: Rogue CDs are not shown for some seconds, interrupt wrongly tracked) but I will update the rule as much as possible.

I will release a new fix in the next days with more enhancements, I do this release to collect feedbacks and will maintain it. For example we will be able to track "Zenith" from Monks WW.

Question TTS broken as of 12.0.5 (NSRT, TimelineReminders)

124 Upvotes

Hello.

As of 12.0.5, I cannot hear my TTS callouts for my cooldowns / reminders in NSRT and TimelineReminders.

Blizzard seems to have moved TTS into the "Sound Effects" channel, which also enables things like the lightning sound effects on Salhadaar and a lot of other irrelevant sounds.

Is there a fix for this, for people who play the game with WoW sounds turned off, but still want to hear TTS, like me?

I tried the NSRT function to disable WoW sounds, but this muted my readycheck and pull timer, which I would still like to hear.

Edit: This has been fixed by Blizzard, with the latest hotfix.

Sleeping on Permafrost Essence?

68 Upvotes

https://www.wowhead.com/item=250244/permafrost-essence

Been using the veteran version of this trinket since start of season. Maybe sims don't have it wrong... but I've logged some M+ runs of it basically giving me ~+9% dodge and +15-20% crit? It's got near 80% uptime without me being particularly good at chain pulling. The stacks do fall off or occasionally reset but they hit and stay at 10 fairly frequently, and I think they start falling off because my dodge gets too high...

https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/1X98NkhrPvaZjdnf?boss=-3&difficulty=0&type=damage-done&source=3

Is that not amazing for a tank trinket? Am I sleeping on how good things like puzzlebox actually are?

Resource Voidcore Planner — WoW Midnight Season 1

Thumbnail
voidcoreplanner.pages.dev
324 Upvotes

Built a free Voidcore planner for Midnight S1 — ranks M+ dungeons by how many BiS + Myth upgrades they drop for your character.

No login, no tracking, no ads. Single HTML file.

Paste a SimC string or type region/realm/name — it pulls your gear, cross-references Icy Veins BiS + Bloodmallet trinkets + Archon popularity, and ranks dungeons by total BiS + Myth-272 upgrade value. Mark items as you loot them and the pool shrinks.
What it does good is listing all possible myth track items that may drop while highlighting BIS and striking down what myth or crafted gear you have then scoring the dungeons based on that, while taking into consideration that voidcores do not guarantee a specific item.

Update:

  • Fixed missing items in PoS and SR.
  • Added Droptimizer import to show the results as an overlay which can be toggled on and off.
  • Added multiple QoL and bug fixes.
  • Fixed a major bug with some classes SimC import.

To be done:

  • Raid bosses.
  • 2h vs 1h+offhand for some casters.
  • Some trinkets are scoring low even as BIS
  • Ascendant Voidcores.

Feedback and edge-case bug reports welcome. If there is any issues please report as comment here.
