Balance druid is so terrible in pvp

I mean what is this balance?

dots tick for 2k compared to 10k+ of affli
starsurge hits for 20k

the highest dmg is from a rng full moon proc.

They nerfed the amount of star surges you can chain but at the same time even if you chain 10 nothing happens.

I pulled a full convoke followed by star surges with Incarn into a DH and/or a warrior and their health went up, not down.
pathetic

my boomy did 56million damage in a BG just with starfall and dots

i was 28million ahead of the 2nd place on the leaderboard… not that matters but
if they buffed the " DoT damage " we would be absurd for BG’s

i obviously wouldnt mind any buff to boomy, i think stellar flare should be instant cast

but remember boomy scales with gear VERY well

I was top dmg in green gear already in epics, but my it is all useless dmg.
E.g. putting 3 dots and starfall on a wl, he will not even lose 1% HP over the whole duration. he passively shields for more than that.

kinda sad.
The only ability that is fun atm is orbit strike but well 2min cd and celestial alignment is complete and utter trash aside from that

i think with shadowlands and Boomys 1 shotting with convoke, they dont want a repeat of that as it was ruining arena at the time

i dont mind a DoT build and i agree it needs some hefty buffs,

  • stellar flare instant cast
  • dot damage increase
  • swarm baseline
  • increased duration of starfall?
  • lower CD on orbit to be inline with convoke?

I’m currently shadow priest and enjoying it, I always level 2-3 toons to max. Thinking of reviving my balance druid from Legion…worth it? I casual BG pvp mainly

Boomy has the best Dot Spread even better than affliction lock, consindering the talents spread is passive and dots are instant

but, outside of Dot pressure it is boring and like others have said its kinda boring and low ticks

Quick fixes to make it at least viable to play would be to extend DoT timers, reduce Starfire cast time so Solar is viable and buff starfire/damage output at its baseline.

That or wipe it and start again, because the tangled web it currently is is now pure trash, and getting worse with every expansion as they throw a new spell on and nerf everything else to try and claim its “balanced”

It’s terrible in any content. Thanks for destroying it

Ty 10 charas

I mean seriously, I am max geared and my highest star surge crit was 35k.
my avg. starfire was 7k and my avg. wrath was 5.5k in a whole bg.

I was top dmg at the end, but I had 0 kills.
For fun I specced full moon and my highest crit was 56k. I dropped it on a WL with dots and 2 star surges. Couldn’t even break his initial shield (not dark pact).
When he got low by surrounding dmg, he started to drain life while i was pumping my dmg into him. His HP went up. It was not a inevitable demise drain…

I mean, what the heck? this spec is absolutely unplayable.
My hunter hits on every ability randomly for 100k
My pala crits up to 200k
my ele crits up to 300k
my warrior just press one button and hits 1mio dmg

my boomkin casts 3 seconds for 50k crit? LOL
