You can also use glyph of starfall so that it doesn't hit all the mines on IJ and immune 2/3 of you starfall ticks. Or on nazgrim in d stance when u still kill adds.
Even with this guide, Balance Druid have a high skill ceiling, the only way to learn how to play a boomkin efficiently, you have to play the hell out of it.
things to add... Nature's vigil should be your default choice in 10 mans as the smart offhealing becomes really powerfull and hotw isnt really needed when using tranq on a raid. On a single target rotation all talents in the last tier are within 1% of each other damagewise. Doc on the other hand tends to pull ahead if you manage to get over 75% eclipse uptime like on fights with constant multidotting capabilitys and aoe (like for example protectors) yes it's hard to use but it should pull ahead damagewise then again it loses in utility so for progress hotw is a must in 25man and NV in 10 man.
Using DoC is not really viable at all and falls apart multi target. Nature's Vigil is very powerful in 10 man, but it's still inferior to HotW for dps (which is what you're there for). That's not to say you shouldn't use it when the extra healing is needed, but from a DPS perspective, it is considerably behind. There's a reason most top druids use HotW. (I have added a note about NV in 10 man for utility).
***** idd HOTW beats NV because of the 6% int in all time which gives you more crit and when u pop it u get insane healing for example the tranq is so strong.
Shaman trinket is valued over Black Blood, but if you were in a scenario where you had Heroic Toxic Totem and Heroic Warforged Black Blood, which would you use?
Great guide. managed to squeeze a bit more out of my 570 chicken. Would you be able to post your Addons, I like the look of a few but don't know what their called. Cheers.
can I ask what addon you use to track moon/starfires % effectiveness compared to current dot applied? im sure I could do it with tmw; eventually. but dedicated addons do make things easier :] much appreciated
good guide. my moonkin alt is around 560. i have tried this solar opener and found that i am doing less damage doing everything listed. is it such a big diffrence in solar and lunar openers?
yeah Lunar is so much better than solar. Me on the otherhand opens like from neither lunar or solar i begin with 75 from lunar i pop starfall i do a starsurge then i dps in lunar pop starfall again my trinkets and meta gemm proccs i go all my cds celest and incarnation reapplying the dotts and do starfall again and spamm starfire and starsurge and there u have 2million burst. and u benefit one starfall more from what he said to do. Cheers Katelyyn
Hey Evrelia quick question, You are 1 tick from Solar on your opener. Is there a reason you do that instead of starting in Solar. I would guess because off the one wrath cast? Am I correct?
Hey Evrel. Awesome guide! has helped my dps out a lot. Was wondering if you had any tricks or tips for target switching for multi dots.. I have been having to click my tidy plate name frames and the boss frames and its a pain. I wish tab target was more effective because i feel clicking them is hurting my dps. Thanks!
It's been 2 years since you have uploaded this video..but do you still have this interface,at least addons-something :D?All I want is this mofo interface.But,that is weak or power aura ?Cheers
while leveling a balance druid through dungeoning I've found my dps to be insanely weak. Mostly due to mobs dying to quick for me to able to cast anything else than dots. Am I doing anything wrong or is just simply the low level dungeons too easy to be able to play efficiently as a balance druid? This is really frustrating..
First up I love the video, really helpful especially after returning to boom after a very long time. Anyone know what UI is being used in this video? I know some of the addons are skada, balance power tracker, and weak auras. What about the toolbars, map skins etc they look great. What raid frames are being used. Anyone know what weakauras is monitoring, whats the big tree stump on a 15sec cooldown? Would love a download of the UI please :)
you should not stack incarnation and celestial alignment like that. celestial alignment should first be used when you leave the solar eclipse otherwise you will not benefit from incarnation all the time
Scrub alert. In solar opener it is best to stack both cd's due to legendary meta and RPPM trinket procs, since this will cause your DoT's to have huge tics and proc a ton of shooting stars which under all these effects crit for well in the millions. Please do some research or play the spec for more than a month before you speak next time. I've played moonkin since the end BC, balance druid has never been in such a good spot as it is today, go learn it.
TargetSniper365 Agreed. Boomkin so good right now. Such a fun spec to play and amazing when you get to the higher gear levels. Completely right about the dude above us.
10296 haste? Havent seen that number anywhere but here, I´ve been using 10289 as a reference point during the entire time this breakpoint has been viable :O Are you sure about this?
Does somebody know if this druid has his interface downloadable somewhere? I know this isnt evrelia playing so im not sure if he knows where i can get it :(
till this day i still don't understand why blizzard didn't go with the 5.4 balance druid gameplay :D blizzard change balance druid in shadowlands to WOTLK instead of MOP where it was actualy fun to play
Clint Martin It actually does compete at high Ilvl it actually beats Affliction man so im not quite sure what you are going on about. at 570 ilvl all specs become viable to a degree and close as hell in dps.
Whilst Simulations might say it compares - in reality it doesn't. It's an "ok" spec for sure, but even by admission of the developers, it is underpowered compared to Aff and Destro and there isn't any reason to play it unless you do so for fun. Anyone looking to min/max would be better playing another spec, so I didn't see the point in an advanced guide for the spec. You can find a written basic guide to it on evrelia.com though.
great job exelent and every thing is perfect now go to raid and cry when lock hunters and all other op class over dps you x2 with same item lvl all other class can do 20-30% more dps then broken moonkins atm
wanna know why all these guides aren't good ? too much information i can tell 100 % you can't remember everything of what he just said wanna know how to play a boomkin apply dots keep them up pup cd when they pop LUST and spam wrath with all your other shit and use starsurge when its up :) hope it helped
btw i was joking i hope everyone notice lol ima complete noob at boomkin im leveling one at the moment and im confused with all those guides that break the 4th wall LMAO they talk and its like an inception into an inception all you have to do is too play and practice and eventually you will master it
BEST moonkin guide ive seen out since pandaria... legit 5 stars and subbed man!
Great work, I hope you continue to make guides in the future expansions as well.
Very informative, would love to see a monk guide next
Lets goooo mistblade
You can also use glyph of starfall so that it doesn't hit all the mines on IJ and immune 2/3 of you starfall ticks. Or on nazgrim in d stance when u still kill adds.

This comment now is like WTF? :D cause when i see this guide to MOP moonking and compare it to BFA/SHADOWLANDS this is just superior in every way
Beautiful guide.

How about professions ? Which ones gives most dps impact ?
engi tailoring
i have been waiting for this long time :) ty
elemental shaman guide. PLEASE!
Great guide. managed to squeeze a bit more out of my 570 chicken. Would you be able to post your Addons, I like the look of a few but don't know what their called. Cheers.
I would like to see a Fire Mage guide for 5.4
omg the volume difference from your mic and your intro is really upsetting
hey. i spam my starfall in legion. but i do 0dps. always get kicked from groups. what am i doing wrong?
can I ask what addon you use to track moon/starfires % effectiveness compared to current dot applied? im sure I could do it with tmw; eventually. but dedicated addons do make things easier :] much appreciated
Just going to mention, when you're in lunar eclipse your Hurricane is transformed into Astral Storm, which deals arcane damage.
3:30
Yeah, I'm an idiot and paused and made that comment at like 2:50. =\
what addons do u use for your UI (action bars, nameplates etc.)?
do you always keep up sunfire and monfire?? regardless of the eclipse
good guide. my moonkin alt is around 560. i have tried this solar opener and found that i am doing less damage doing everything listed. is it such a big diffrence in solar and lunar openers?
yeah Lunar is so much better than solar. Me on the otherhand opens like from neither lunar or solar i begin with 75 from lunar i pop starfall i do a starsurge then i dps in lunar pop starfall again my trinkets and meta gemm proccs i go all my cds celest and incarnation reapplying the dotts and do starfall again and spamm starfire and starsurge and there u have 2million burst. and u benefit one starfall more from what he said to do. Cheers Katelyyn
What am i doing wrong? I am level 90 but rarely doing anything above 10k damage. Can someone help me?
Dude your interface is awesome. is it possible to get it axactly like that? with proccs, weakauras etc.
great video.
Hey Evrelia quick question, You are 1 tick from Solar on your opener. Is there a reason you do that instead of starting in Solar. I would guess because off the one wrath cast? Am I correct?
You want to be one cast away so that you use the full duration of Nature's grace while in battle rather than waiting a few seconds.
Hey Evrel. Awesome guide! has helped my dps out a lot. Was wondering if you had any tricks or tips for target switching for multi dots.. I have been having to click my tidy plate name frames and the boss frames and its a pain. I wish tab target was more effective because i feel clicking them is hurting my dps. Thanks!
If any other boomkins have suggestions please post! i have been banging my head against the wall trying to find a answer to this.
Kyle Lauzon 573 ilvl boomkin here, 10\14 H SOO, if you want message me your battle tag and I can help you out in game.
It's been 2 years since you have uploaded this video..but do you still have this interface,at least addons-something :D?All I want is this mofo interface.But,that is weak or power aura ?Cheers
while leveling a balance druid through dungeoning I've found my dps to be insanely weak. Mostly due to mobs dying to quick for me to able to cast anything else than dots. Am I doing anything wrong or is just simply the low level dungeons too easy to be able to play efficiently as a balance druid? This is really frustrating..
what is this dots everyone talks about?
Damage over time spells. Like sunfire and moonfire (2years late answer)
Any chance there wil be a holy paladin guide for 5.4
Hello. tenks for help. bath what interface you have and adond in dis vidio ..sori for bad englesh
First up I love the video, really helpful especially after returning to boom after a very long time.
Anyone know what UI is being used in this video? I know some of the addons are skada, balance power tracker, and weak auras. What about the toolbars, map skins etc they look great. What raid frames are being used. Anyone know what weakauras is monitoring, whats the big tree stump on a 15sec cooldown?
Would love a download of the UI please :)
I clicked on "Opener" and I was sent to a Arcane Mage guide :o
you should not stack incarnation and celestial alignment like that. celestial alignment should first be used when you leave the solar eclipse otherwise you will not benefit from incarnation all the time
You do not understand the things of which you speak about
Scrub alert. In solar opener it is best to stack both cd's due to legendary meta and RPPM trinket procs, since this will cause your DoT's to have huge tics and proc a ton of shooting stars which under all these effects crit for well in the millions.

I've played moonkin since the end BC, balance druid has never been in such a good spot as it is today, go learn it.
TargetSniper365
Agreed. Boomkin so good right now. Such a fun spec to play and amazing when you get to the higher gear levels. Completely right about the dude above us.
This music in the background is great. Any one know what is it?
So, do you do any healing guides? I'm a resto druid and have been trying to find guides about it.
Make a BM hunter guide :D
Can I know the name of background musics?
Do you have an installer for your uo setup by chance? Its really cool
What is the addon that shows the moonfire and sunfire ?
Whats the name of you´re dott tracker there ?
When is the Garrosh HC coming?
any1 know what addon that shows green numbers over the dots?
Just actually looked and all the links go to Arcane Mage guide.
Fixed :)
Yeah sick! whats the name of all the addon u use? :) please tell me
10296 haste? Havent seen that number anywhere but here, I´ve been using 10289 as a reference point during the entire time this breakpoint has been viable :O Are you sure about this?
10296 is the GCD cap so you should just go for that if your able to reach 10289
^
At 10296, your instant spells hit the minimum 1 second Global Cooldown whilst Nature’s Grace is up.
***** Fred Harvey zoomxs , i had absolutely no idea about this.. Thanks for setting the record straight guys!
Hey ever do you not stream any more :D
Pls what addons are u using? Ty very much
I thought Incarnation and CA didnt stack?
YAY you are back
Does somebody know if this druid has his interface downloadable somewhere? I know this isnt evrelia playing so im not sure if he knows where i can get it :(
I think it's just Elv UI.
www.curse.com/addons/wow/lui
Curious as to the addons you are using?
is your intro loud enough?!?!!?
Guys i still dont understand why choosing gems with expertise as a boomkin?
Expertise gives spell hit
Make a combat rogue guide pls :)
Where are the enchants?
Anyone know how he set up his weak auras?
is his ui a pack somewhere?
If anyone has strings for the weak auras used in this video I'd fucking love them.
Me too, I tried setting up that addon once but what a complicated cluster fuck it is when you've never used it before
I miss this WoW so much. Fuck WoD and Legion is probably going to be as shitty as WoD tbh.
Subtitles in spanish please? you're good by what I see with the guide but i don't understand anything of what you said :(
till this day i still don't understand why blizzard didn't go with the 5.4 balance druid gameplay :D
blizzard change balance druid in shadowlands to WOTLK instead of MOP where it was actualy fun to play
Is there a link to the Druid's UI setup?
I think it's pretty much just Elv UI.
what is that dot addon?
Do a Demonology warlock guide for 5.4 plsssss :D
Demonology isn't worth using, it can't compete with destro or affliction. Even in higher ilvls.
Clint Martin It actually does compete at high Ilvl it actually beats Affliction man so im not quite sure what you are going on about. at 570 ilvl all specs become viable to a degree and close as hell in dps.
Whilst Simulations might say it compares - in reality it doesn't. It's an "ok" spec for sure, but even by admission of the developers, it is underpowered compared to Aff and Destro and there isn't any reason to play it unless you do so for fun. Anyone looking to min/max would be better playing another spec, so I didn't see the point in an advanced guide for the spec.
You can find a written basic guide to it on evrelia.com though.
***** No worries cheers man, it jut brings a tear to my eye seeing my favourite spec so underpowered D;
Gan su I'd rather say that affliction and destruction are overpowered, rather than demo being underpowered. I do miss playing it though :/
Your intro music is too loud compared to your speaking volume
This was a really helpfull guide, thanks a lot.
what addons u use to track both dots and re-dot time
damn can you post your ui love it
all the crazy if/then of moonkin spells ruined the fun of the class for me. I really appreciate the video, though.
What MSBT font is that?
make an Enhancement Shaman guide plz
There's a written Enhancement guide on the website.
which addons you use?
Holy crap I was with him completely up until he started doing things now I'm just like wahhhh???
Name of addons?
What addons do you use?
My brain hurts.
great job exelent and every thing is perfect now go to raid and cry when lock hunters and all other op class over dps you x2 with same item lvl all other class can do 20-30% more dps then broken moonkins atm
i don't understand why would you need expertise on a balance druid? isnt that for meele only?
wanna know why all these guides aren't good ? too much information i can tell 100 % you can't remember everything of what he just said wanna know how to play a boomkin apply dots keep them up pup cd when they pop LUST and spam wrath with all your other shit and use starsurge when its up :) hope it helped
btw i was joking i hope everyone notice lol ima complete noob at boomkin im leveling one at the moment and im confused with all those guides that break the 4th wall LMAO they talk and its like an inception into an inception all you have to do is too play and practice and eventually you will master it
Too many words!
Lol never realized how noob this dude was at ball Druid lol, his rotation is terrible, you lose out on 300-400k dps if you do this rotation lol
хурма
Can you please send me your balance druid weak auras strings? thx
