Haste Cap for Resto/Boomkin

Wont wont even break 20% in instanced PvP haste in an aurora set... 120 str would be legitimately fine bc wep swapping sader is busted. How is stam > all min hp? That's quite literally max hp?

Haste = faster off heals (which you're great at because you have the fastest mana regen of any DPS in the bracket.)
Haste = faster hits.
Haste = more zeal.
Haste = more sader procs.

Pure vers would be more of an arena set, or as I like to call it, the selfish yet seemingly less effective ret for BGs. Aurora rets do far more for the rest of their team than qb or vers rets do.

You said stam and verse is the same as haste and strength.

Why not just go all haste then you can still have about 27% esp on a human... If you go all Aurora you get about 10% verse and 12% haste... I mean the 10% verse lets you live verse an arcane for maybe .5 seconds longer (honestly its almost nothing)? Why not just go full ham in a BG is all I mean and maximize rotations and crusader... I'm sure there are tons of opinions.

No, this is the order in which you should prioritize your stats. Stam over vers and haste, stack vers and haste equally, str should be lowest priority.

You go aurora because of the vers damage mitigation and heal / damage increase.

As aurora you have faster build ups aswell, the current meta is all about speed and burst. Speed kills.
 
Stam > vers = haste > str as ret.

(Stam > vers = crit > str in 1v1s and arenas.)

I mean I run pretty glass cannon as ret (212 str and 14% verse in bgs with 1680hp) and completely destroy people. Just pointing out theres other ways to play than what you outlined.
 
what are you running to get 212 str, is that inside the BG scaled?

Sorry its 208 inside bgs (I think it's close to 180 str outside of bgs). The 212 was from that food buff. And I run the legion invasion titan forged head, full adaptable armour as well as the epic equivalent to emil's brand. Basically maximizing strength where possible and then going for verse as a secondary.

With 2 crusaders up I can crit for 1k-1.1k templar's verdict without any zerker or debuffs. I'm basically a shitty marks hunter with hoj.

sorry how my str is on the titan helm? +9? Is that better than the goggles?
 
let me just log out in my ret gear so you can creep it.

Should be in my ret set in armory. Check my signature for the character.

armory doesn't count +8 from alchemy flask

Thanks, thats pretty crazy.

1) Is the Titan helm still better than the ME gogs? I assume by only a small amount?

2) Are the demon bands actually better than a Recruits adaptable/Quickblade ring and the ring you can buy from the PVP vendor the legions band (?).

1) I prefer the legion helm over engi goggles personally.

2) 1 bg blue ring with high verse or adaptable is better but I haven't been very lucky in my attempts to get one. Its a minor upgrade though (probably 1-2 more on numbers) plus I'd have to sub again to enchant the rings.

I know your set infuriates me.
 
I used to see a couple of BFA lvl20 vet boomkins stacking haste (swapping out fang pieces for Impatients) putting real high totals and KBs and be compettive and/or better than lvl29 twink boomkins... since I guess you can spam your dots and get your energy up real fast by lowering your gcd and your freecast times? And faster double-surges, FTW? Don't really see 'em around anymore, but if you've been able to collect a bunch of aurora/impatient gear and if you have the ring/neck pieces, I guess you can run some experiments. With the right racials, and consumables, haste stacking could work?

Similarly, for resto druid, I'd be interesting to see someone stack the krap out of haste... probably a mistake, but might be worthwhile for shits and giggles, dot-dot-dot-regrowth-rejuv-dot-dot... get blown up, GG.

Tbh, I don't really see anyone able to hit any "haste cap", since our secondaries are squished when we zone into BGs. So haste away...!

Btw, I've used this old macro to check my gcd. Just replace the spell name and it should work on your toons.

You could stack fireflash BG rares on a boomkin and still do fine, it's pretty hard to fuck that spec up. So yeah, haste boomkin would work too (could be an excuse not to use force of nature.)
