Gladiator Thyraz - Balance Druid PvP Guide (Patch 8.0 BFA) 

If there is any crucial information that I want to change in the future of this expansion I will edit this pinned comment with the necessary info! Subscribe! Edit: I prefer shooting stars over fury of elune right now. I have not yet tried rogue/boomkin or comps that require setting up bursts of damage though. Maybe fury could be more useful there. Edit: Shooting Stars is better than fury of elune overall. Elune could be good with a rogue still.

Just wanted to say; This is the exact video I was looking for. Thank you Thyraz, your videos are top notch. I don't subscribe often, but when I do, it's because it's QUALITY (like this)!

Maybe a keybind/addon guide would be useful, not only for boomkins but for all the pvpers?

Got really nostalgic now. I've always loved your videos, they're fun, wellmade, skillfull and just so fun to watch. Love having your WoW vids pop up on my feed! Keep owning.

Thyraz please make a video on best boomkin comps this season. This would be amazing. Thanks

241 likes and 0 dislikes!! Poggers Love to see you're back :) great guide btw

Thanks for your guide Thyraz from Spain. you are the guy who changes my main spec from Rdruid to Boomie 4 years ago, keep doing this videos we love them!!

Love to see you back in WOW and dominating stuff & peeps, love you mate!

Always keen for your videos. Ever since watching some of your first videos back in MoP, I have always been keen for your new videos and also been upping my Boomkin PvP significantly. Was so glad when I found out you were coming back for BFA. :)

you made me feel like I was watching an oldschool swifty video, keep them coming thyraz!

Thanks for the guide , im glad you're back !

Always good to hear the Boomkin God teach me stuff

Thank you so much Thyraz!!! Another easy to follow video that is fun to watch and very helpful! Thanks again!!!

miss the blink..

You taking the time to make this shows us you care about your viewers. Thank you. I've seen M+guides that say new moon isn't the best talent. Interesting that transfers to PvP as well. Easy to get sucked into using it when you get a nasty full moon crit lol

Good to see you back, nice work.

Dude insane guide! You know what i would really like to see? Like a Video where you show us your plans before a arena match starts.. I want to see how a gladiator sees a match and what he prepares for that match. What is his duty exactly on that match. When do you use which abilities and when you try to nuke a enemy character. That would be so insane !

great video man, so glad your back. Welcome back thyraz we missed you. :)

in the next video u can show us some comps in 3s as boomkin and how to play the comps properly :P otherwise i love your videos and you!

We asked and you provided, hell yeah thank you Thyraz. I have always enjoyed your content, please keep it coming!

So glad you are back and much love from germany :) Do you think that at some point shooting star will get better than fury of elune? I tryed both and it feels like when it comes to long fights the astral power u can gain from shooting stars and the sustained cleaves works better than the burst aoe of fury of elune. Thanks for the guide and keep it goin

Thanks Thyraz, this video was a huge help. Glad to see you’re back and making smash face boomy content. Kill em all!!

u'r always there for good content presentation. thanks for that bro we all love ya :D

great vid ! im really interested in the azerite traits. cant wait for that vid!

love you,

Could you talk about which comps work well with boomies and which dont? Also what classes you counter and what to look out for.

Thyraz!! Such a great video. I started a druid in cata, and I found boomkin bit confusing then.. I just returned back in 7.3.5 ,and enjoying boomkin in bgs. I still remember your videos with pilav😂.. look forward for more videos like this.. good luck with this season

Hi Thyraz, thanks for sharing your thoughts! I'd like to hear your opinion on the following argument against picking Nature's Balance: IMO Nature's Balance can also be a disadvantage when you try to pool astral power. So when picking it you have to stay below 50%, which is a notable disadvantage because you no longer have these small bursts. For that reason i rather like to go for Warrior of Elune. Again, thank you for sharing your thoughts! :)

Hey man. Really nice guide, I dont even play balance druid and I loved it. Im so tired of seeing 20 minute guides of people just standing still while talking about talents. Nice to see them being shown ingame or atleast with some nice arena footage in the background. You've earned urself a new sub.

Glad to see you back making videos again!

Amazing video, well edited and i understood everything. Thanks for the guide!

Maybe a video dueling each class? :) Good video man! Been waiting to see what you come up with. Nice to see my build was very similar

good to se your back bro. some 2v3s with pilav in the future would be sick asf :D

I would love another Thyraz PvP playlist, but if you do consider making one make sure you'd get no copyright strike because of it, youtube has been going mental with it recently.

Good to have the god of balance back! Fuckn stoked

HYPE ! Thats why I'm gonna level my druid right now :D AMAZING VIDEO !

so happy i found your channel again:D best owl !

Sooo glad the king is back! I main boomy too and I can see exactly why you skipped most of legion. Legion boomy was garbage. Loving the changes and looking forward to more guides and pvp! If you can find anything on haste breakpoints, I'd love to see that. Thanks!

I really hope your back man. Keep the videos up!!

Thyraz! Awesome guide and great job making it. Play with Pilav like you did in the good old days. I think it can be some awesome vids and some ez content :)

Thanks for the Guide man! ... but I really struggle with what's my main task in a 3v3. Can you give some advice what to do different when playing with a spriest instead of a ret or dh? I'd love to see some more commented gameplay! keep up the good work :)

UI, keybind and addon guide would be sweet. Love the work and plays!

Because of u i played boomkin as my Main since i look your First Video

That transmog is so freaking hot

Hey thyraz how do i keep healers in my solar beam with out deep roots if i have dots on them i find it hard to 1v1 healers more so disc priests

Awesome guide, you've got a new subscriber :) any tips on the easiest 2s and 3s comp for a new doomkin?

I was miss you guides :3

Hey man love the video, quick question are you running some sort of fx settings?

HI, i like this guide so much! Do you play only boomking? Maby you can make more giudes like this for other class/spec ? PLEASE

Thank you very much for this guide, It would be cool if you also stream as much as possible for new players to get more experience, about tactics and playable comp's. 👍

Solo WPvP talents would essentially be the same, then? Thanks for the guide, Thyraz!

400. like thumbs up good to see you back i started playing boomkin that was helpful :)

Boomkin is pretty fun to use. But my biggest issue is getting melee warriors off of me. Because they spam hamstring over and over, and they have like 2 or 3 charges. I know you hit bear form and frenzy for heal, but how do you escape? To get some distance between you and them. I tried cat form, tycoon, entangling roots etc and good warriors always seem to catch me before i have time to heal up or hide. Great video tho even if you dont read this.

Most helpful indeed! Good work thanks for the guide!

What azerite traits do you use for your armor

hi Thyraz, reroll as a boomkin after my shaman and realized your video is really really useful and i want to know is that all interrupts list and will highlight the icon depends on the target's class is that a WA or TMW? is there any chance you share that or i can find that in your video? hope you can answer me that thanks a lot ! (english is not my first language so hope you can understand what im saying !)

Welcome back thyraz! Missed your sexy voice and nasty rifts!

I've got a question for you :) I really want to play Destruction Warlock but there are no real good guides at the moment for pvp. You probably dont play destro atm but could you call Cobrak and ask him to help me with a guide ? :D

THIS IS WHAT I WAS WAINTING FOR MY MAAAAANNNNNNN

Finally you're back love ya dude

How would you fight in world pvp zones, out in the open? Which classes to avoid as balance? What to do when outnumbered, when to flee and how?

Ty Lord Thyraz for this guide, I hope it will be usefull !

Everything is clearly explained! 👍🏼 Thank you

hey thyraz what do you think of the azerit trait solar blaze as an opportunity for a nice burst in pvp ? (solar wrath increases the damage of your next starsurge) ? I can stack it two times If I wanted to.

OW SHIT BUTTON xD good one. Can you Maybe do Some arena’s with pilav again or duels just for the lols.great vid btw

Good video but i have a question. Do you think Boomkin-Paladin is a viable comb for 2s for the first season ?

Will all Azerite traits be available from PvP at a reasonable ILvL provided I have the rating? I'm thinking about getting the expansion but I really don't want to Raid to get my BiS PvP gear.

I would love, if u would do a fast guide about the macros we should use in pvp and what u recommend for using on boomie ^^ btw thanks for this guide, helps a lot!!!!

What about RBGs? Do you think the starfall spam is more viable? =D

How do you think Boomkin looks for Pve? I heard that single target is terrible.

I missed you friend. :D

I the same spec but witht soul of the forest and shooting stars, i Always top the damage in bgs by alot, havent tried it in arena yet thou. Think IT Could work there aswell?

Tell about good comps in 3s and the main things, openers, tactics people should do there. What target to choose more ? Etc. Thx for awesome videos ❤️ you

Thyraz, when should you go into bear form instead of peeling or adding pressure in moonkin form?

You are amazing mate I love to play Boomy because of you! Can you make stat priorities end Azeroth trait bid end keep going with videos 🤙🏻🇧🇬👊🏻

Great video except for the music, you should seriously consider lower volume on the music and choosing something less obnoxious/distracting that is suited to the pace & feel of the video. This style of music is something I'd expect to see on a compilation video (which I would mute immediately), not a spoken tutorial (can't mute overbearing music, would miss all the tips).

Question on fury of the elune, it does less dmg to „Main“ Target is it Right ? The dmg which is Described works only for the 8radius ?!?!???????

I remember when Pilav and you we're touching each other, gorgeous!

Thyraz do you think druid is underpowered in its current state? I've been looking at damage stats online and it seems druid is really at a loss in its current state. Of course however the great part about druid is its versatility as a class which means even though you don't one shot people you can still outplay them with your array of defensives/movement

I had ran into this enhance shammy while out questing and this guy was the most hardest melee I have fought in this exp and was wondering if you can bring out a dueling vid with some into strats on vs these class's

Great info, thanks man.

Impressive editing. Got my like

Thanks for the video :) im just always wondering how to react when i get targeted because i tend to panic easyly and feel like i pop cooldowns a littl to fast can you make a video like "how to react" ? ^^

Hur kan du vara så svår att döda? Varför tar du så lite skada och hur healar du dig så mycket utan spells? Gjorde en balance druid bara för att jag såg denna videon och dingade 120 igår, provade bg o jag sög 😭

THHHHYYYRRAAAZZZZ what you think about boomkin shadowlands?

Hi, Thyraz. first of all thank you for your great guide. i have a question about a makro. i saw that you change your form from: cat in stealth direct to moonkin incl. moonfire.... only one button for Moonkin and moonfire. many thanks in advance for your help. best regards igi

yes Starfire! Thank you.

Do you think balance vill be viable for climbing high rated as double dps?

What are your suggested comps for climbing? No dampeners please lol

so glad u're back

Thank you much for this guide Thyraz! Trying to become a good arena boomie... =) But i got one question?`How do you manage to stay away from your enemies? When i'm playing arena i always feel like those 2 melees are stacked on me the whole time. I got like no time to cast because of that, maybe i just panic way too much

Great guide is this still up to date or did anything change since then?

Thanks for the guide!

In your world pvp video you recently posted, you used resto affinity and full moon. Did you just change your mind about those selections? Personally I find resto affinity to work great in 2v2 and 1v1 because swiftmend is so good plus yseras gift starts to outvalue thick hide.

I think, a video for pvp players would be great and helpful, if you can tell us something about strategy, kill targets against the most popular and annoying combs. Just thinking.. Maybe it is too much work, but a lot of pvp players have too less experience to climb the ladder above 2,1k rating (me included).

Hey, man! Can i Translate your video and upload it to my channel for Russian Community? I'll add your links and profiles.

Omg you are actually playing this game like legit legit wuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut

Maybe a dueling guide? How to start properly etc..

da legend is back !

Cyrus and business my boom King :DD
