Starsurge OP? Okay then ... LF Advice on Fixing Boomkin

You are advocating to add tools that you now have to acquire. You are adding an additional step. The tools do not exist and should not have to be added to fix this issue.

thats why i said IF
IF it was added why would you not wear them during pvp moments

Idk why people like you think stating you sweat video games for 10+ hours at a time is a flex.

Its not, and im betting you couldnt flex to pick up the cheeseburger beside your bed.

Because we currently don’t have to so we should not be adding them. I mean its what I said before.
You are using some weird circular logic my man.

you sound like a little petulant child, maybe read the context of the post i replied to next time.

Honestly I think its fine, there are like 7 classes that can hit just as hard with instant abilities, however
 if you want to nerf surge just tripple the damage of starfire, and add something to surge (not damage) so it doesn’t become a dead rune.

Yeah, I mainly play pvp, which means I’m a liability for raids. Kind of sucks.

You “sound” like a keyboard warrior with 100 extra pounds per limb.

it is 100% the classic andies looking up “best in slot” slapping every piece of gear without any stam on and freaking out because they’re getting 1 shot.

reduce damage by 50% (half of the buff they recieved in phase 1) so they still keep 50% of the damage buff they got
and increase the mana cost by like 500-900%
right now starsurge is what like 15 mana
make it cost like 500-1000 mana that way it still feels strong but the downside is you tap you mana fast so you can just spam it every 6 seconds unless you wanna go oom pretty fast 

there has to be some downside to a very strong ability

most items especially for cloth dont have stam on it.

outside of raid theres not a lot of options

so literally destroy the rune 
 okay 
 and how are they staying competitive in PVE afterwards given that 50% of their dmg comes from starsurge and they are still middle of the pack right now ?

players just hate druids.

get a break and its the end of the world.

nerf boomies until no one plays them, yah, that’s the ticket

It doesn’t crit anywhere near every single hit and 6 seconds is way more than enough time for every single other class to blow up boomkins with equally strong or stronger abilities on no CD
 Or even basic attacks. Tell me why Paladins and warriors are hitting for 700+ basic attacks?

the fact that its 50% of the entire class dmg is more than enough reason that it needs some kind of dial back

not one class is more relying on a spell than druid
and that should not be a thing

Looks like the devs went with my idea of reducing the damage + SP coe and then adding an effect that makes a hard cast do more damage to compensate. They never mentioned that bug you talked about with the new rune, are you sure it’s bugged?

Congrats they took your idea.
Balance will be dead
 they dont scale, they dont have gear, they wont raid unless your friends carry you.

Yep, boomkin is effectively dead now in PvE. They don’t have the mana pool to continuously cast starfire. Starfire doesn’t scale very well (or anything from boomie really) late game and the starsurge coefficient was the one hope that boomie might scale with gear later on.

they baited druids to commit to 40 before doing it to up their playerbase imo.
