This is a living document and is prone to change. Consider it a public draft to share information as early as possible. The best picks from the current vendor are likely to be Expedient and Ineffable Truth rank 1 (depending on your spec) but do read below. QE Live has a large update coming to make these decisions much easier. Which piece do I […]
This page will exist as a compendium of all Resto Druid changes in the upcoming Shadowlands expansion. We don’t know anywhere near enough to comment on viability or strength yet but I’ll add commentary where relevant. This page will be updated as we learn more. Overall the Resto Druid changes are big positives so far and our new talent tree in particular is looking great. […]
Rising Mist is a new dynamic, rewarding Mistweaver playstyle buffed significantly in 8.3. The following guide has been written by Sweggles on Thrall and edited for the nerf by Voulk. You can catch high level Rising Mist gameplay on his Twitch channel here. This is an evolving document and will be updated as the new build continues to be iterated on. 8.3: The Rise […]
Updated 13 March with additional information Titanforging is dead. In its place, Corruption. Every season 4 piece of gear you get in 8.3 will have a chance to roll one of eighteen different “corruption affixes”. They range from stat increases to fun cooldown-reduction to huge damage procs. We won’t spend much time here looking at the Corruption system itself so if this is the first […]
Patch 8.3 will not go down in history as a hall of fame Druid patch. Our raid azerite is poor, a justified Mythic+ nerf takes ~2% off our raid throughput and the Disc / Glimmer front-runners were barely touched. More positively, our utility will see some use in Ny’alotha and the damage patterns suit Druid well. They also do a round of tuning after Heroic […]
Patch 8.3 adds The Formless Void, Unwavering Ward and Spirit of Preservation to our Essences collection along with a minor Essence slot. The rank threes appear to be time-gated in various ways so these might not feature heavily in the opening weeks of the raid but you’ll want to get started on them early. Recommended sets for each of the healing specs covered will be […]
An in-depth breakdown of how to build your Glimmer Paladin in 8.3. Includes information on Azerite, Essences, Corruption, Stats, Trinkets and much much more.
Healing trinkets in Eternal Palace were a blessing. Jellyweed and Deferred Sentence add incredible healing; Leviathan’s Lure and Aquipotent Nautilus put out excellent DPS and Font of Power was a fantastic stat stick (if a pain to use). We… won’t mention Za’qul’s Portal Key. Ny’alotha adds a lot of new trinkets including a two set with a seemingly massive set bonus. A lot of them are […]
Update: On the 19th November Glimmer was nerfed by an additional 12% on top of the target cap. It is discussed below. Glimmer of Light paladin in the Eternal Palace has been ultra powerful to the point where it quickly overshadowed other specs. We always knew nerfs were coming, but we weren’t sure what form they would take or if they would be significant […]
Essences are a rather complex system, with the full collection of forty+ items dropping from all over the game. The in-game tooltips can do a poor job of telling you what you actually need to do to pick up the next rank. We found it was much easier when you could look at them all in one place. They’re split up by role for convenience. […]
