    Did we (boomies) avoid the nerf bat?

    Disc and Ret got hit, but nothing for Boomies. Did they realize all the crying was for dot padding? Or do you expect something in the future? (do we feel OP at 120?)

    they nerfed lunar shrapnel, I think that is good enough

    Oh, I think I missed that. is that on beta or live (in any of the notes)? I thought most ppl were complaining about the moonfire trait, and spamming. Do you think that will get nerfed?

    don't know, but my boomkin definitely feels better than when I started legion!

    Won't really know until later, as much of the imbalance and power people see now is pre-patch, and I still haven't gotten a good feel as to the placement of boomy even after spending a lot of time on the beta. Things are much, much slower at 120, especially if you can't get enough haste items. I still feel that our finishers could stand to hit a bit harder in comparison to our builders, and Azerite traits can change how certain aspects of the rotation feel.

    Wasn't it like beyond busted? Was pretty necessary to do. Even the top M+ players were saying it's now a top 5 spec because of it, but that'll probably change. Still, you do have some decent utility, bonus if you're outdoors (Travel Form+Leap) or it's a Raging week.

    Absolutely! It's a shame I'm hanging up my Spacechicken right when it's getting good but I'm pretty unhappy with my off-specs which having those was the main reason for me playing it. Do hope you guys enjoy though!
    Still wondering why I play this game.
    I'm a Rogue and I also made a spreadsheet for the Order Hall that is updated for BfA.

    I want to know who said that boomkin is a top 5 spec. Because that's a straight up lie. We were barely top 5 in aoe WITH the unnerfed lunar shrapnel so being a top 5 spec overall is laughable.

    You're just some tool on the forums, what do you know. The comment was top 5 for m+, which is not a decision based totally on dps.

    We don't need a nerf, our ST is very sub par (bottom 3) and our AOE is pretty balanced since the shrapnel change a while back.

    If anything we need a buff to ST since our AOE isn't crazy good anymore.

    That's a truth. I can pull fairly large packs and not give a f*

    You're playing poorly then or you have bad traits, been doing dungeons with rogue + unholy dk all of us arround 315/325 and I was competitive even in ST, with players doing 95+ logs during Legion in Mythic.

    Depends for what you are doing but for ST Lively spirit, thunderous blast, Streaking stars is the strongest. Lively spirit is actually nuts.

    Lively spirit I'm sure is fine if you have a healer who never stops casting. Seems like 1 of those traits that gets better the better the other players in your group are.

    In a regular dungeon or PUG raid, there's every chance your healer just stands around doing nothing when heals aren't needed so lively spirit does nothing.

    no one avoids the nerf bat. but everyone experiences the ban hammer.

    Yeah obviously it wont work well when pugging. I only play with guildies/friends that are decent and all those healers have already made a WA for my innervate + I call it out so they go ham.

    apparently LS was way over valued.
