29 druid gear question

Veteran
Is it better to run full fang set bonus or run 2 piece with of aurora gear in the rest of the slots?

Thanks!
 
Full fang. You're leaving a bucket of int on the table by only going after the two piece bonus. And unlike higher brackets, the gear just doesn't exist in 29s to justify that loss.

Wrong, for 29 druids only 2 piece is bis if u get the right items in the other slots.

Change the chest with the obtainable cloth glass int chest or a more balanced out chest with stamina

You can't post a link to some Grandfathered heap tho and use it as a marker for somebody just gearing up.

OP if you are just going to PUG just go full fang (it wont matter at all there)... if you are going to be a try hard with wargames and talk about how good you are, then don't give up the defiler boots and belt and make some versatility survival pile.

At the end of the day you can't really mess up playing Druid at all, an actual retarded chimp who got ostracized from the rest of the "jungle unit" (or whatever the f*** they use a sociological grouping) can play druid.

Full fang isn't near as good at 29 with the Arathi items being a thing. Their stat spread is A+. Run 2 piece, either gloves/legs, or gloves/chest. If you go gloves/legs, run the +17 intellect Green Silk Armor. If you go gloves/chest, legs are up to you. BG legs give better stat allocation, but you lose out on the enchants you can put on BoA gear.

Only things I would change about my gear is getting BoE exploited legs and shoulders 'of the Quickblade' and obviously going for Black Widow Band or Cloak of Rot. Gl paying less than 2m for either on most servers unless you transfer.

edit - forgot to mention you can also look for ilvl 34 rings on the AH that give 5 int/8 stam and up to 8 secondaries, pref 'of the Quickblade' ofc.

Rot and Band are usually on BH auction house for 750k... prices are way down because nobody buys them.
 
Sorry for the confusion. These folks above me are absolutely correct. I was still a bit groggy this morning.

That said, 8.1.5 is gonna shake up the BiS list pretty considerably. And if my bar napkin math is correct, the fang set will end up edging out the builds above by a handful of int, a solid chunk of stam, tons of haste and lolcrit. So it’s gonna be worth picking up.

I said he should change the chest, but I forgot about the cloak/ring. You can easily replace those 3 items with a BoE cloak/ soulrender's greatcloak from scarlet and lorekeeper's/advisor's ring from the pvp vendor.
 
Only twinks i see that know how to gear a "bis" boomy this xpac is almond, niz and daddygokku; each has its own but correct build in terms of stats balance; the build i think is the most balanced rn is daddygoku; i would only change to 11 stam on gloves. I would link my druid but am on the resto mood on my takeyoshape.


Also boomy gear should be looking for max Intel mixed with vers, And the secondary stats should always be crit focused.

Things to take into account.

*You can top damage with haste máx Intel dots(but this is not the best compwise).

*max Intel with crit is the most effective in mid fights, dot pressure cant compare to 1 big crit starsurge non affected by armor, reason why feral isnt close to boomy. Also we all know procs and crits are what get kills in teamfights. Running máx Intel with crit is also more worth than running máx Intel with haste, as crit starts at 5% can easily make a full Intel set with 13-15% crit. While máx Intel with haste can hardly get haste by 7% which isnt that noticeable.

*Puré máx Intel builds are better than using haste intelect, its more worth.
*Fang set: there is no posible scenario fang set can do as good as other builds in 29s, fang set with máx Intel gear can leave you at 4-6% vers 7% haste and 10% crit, And it wont give the max tooltip you can pull, this hybrid build is not even close to other builds.

*High vers items for glasscanon: many People can think 16 vers neck or ring is not good for glasscanon sets cus of the 2.5 vers =1 Intel, but i have compared in a full glasscanon set azoras Will for 16 vers ring and both give the same tooltip at some point of Intel stacking, same with 16 vers neck and heirloom one, i really suggest watching tooltip to compare which piece of gear is better when talking of items with vers, because the damage increase sales with certain amount of intelect; example: at 220 Intel 8 Intel ring Will give more tooltip than 16 vers ring making 8 Intel ring better, but at 260 Intel they Will both give the same, making 16 vers ring the way to go. In some situations they will change like 6p of tooltip and in others they dont change.

*glasscanon in pugs: running glasscanon in pugs is ok if you have good positoning, still vers and stam sets are better against melee comps or in duels, warriors rogues and Hunters can Just shit on glass boomys in most situations.

*MM new dominance over boomy, after mm buff, running glasscanon in mid fights vs mm Hunters can be very Hard to deal with and forcing yo play really back. Mm has an advantage over glasscanon boomy in mid situations. Still in duels boomy can pull it out easy against mm.

*Toping damage: is Pretty much moonfirespam on everyone, And when everyone has moonfire you go for sun fire in the same way, using starsurge when its up, And using wrath / lunar when everyone has full dots and you have no starsurge.

*Best rotation compwise: aka kill goes.
Dots in main target cast wrath/lunar(only lunar when empowerment) and use starsurge when its up, this will keep a single target and aoe pressure( always try to focus targets located in the Middle of the enemy team to take full advantage of wrath/ lunar aoe.

*"Oneshotting: there are 2 methods for this; you can go for warrior of elune full astral power for surge>lunar>surge>lunar or natures balances/trees going for lunar into doble surge.

*Talents: best talent to go is natures balance, warrior of elune is the best for oneshot but building up astral without natures balance is hard and gets into a wrath spam for getting surge.

*2 schools: against any kick class always take into account you can be spaming a spell from diferent school while casting to make rotation smoother.

*worst matchups: Rogué (sub Does nasty good against boomy amor), Holy priest, Rshaman, Rdruid this New patch, arcane mage, surv hunter.

Quick guide cus am high, hope it helps.

[doublepost=1549398084][/doublepost]i suppose ill try out a vers/crit set to see how it feels. probably won't like it as i prefer my int/haste set over my int/vers set.
