Balance Feedback MoP Beta

Posted 04/02/12 at 4:16 PM by Hamlet
Here is some feedback I wrote. As usual, posting here so people can comment as well:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi,
Been a little while, but I've been having fun poking around Balance on the beta. Overall it seems to be in pretty good shape as far the rotation and cleaning it up a bit since WLK. Here are some comments though.

1) Incarnation. Putting this one first even though I'm pretty sure...

4.2 Moonkin Comments

Posted 07/11/11 at 8:19 PM by Hamlet
As usual, some feedback I wrote up on recent Moonkin changes.

----

Now that I've had some chances to play with it in raids, comments on how Moonkin is doing:

1) Lunar Shower.
This was the big 4.2 change. It accomplished the main goal of cutting out infinite Sunfire spam, but left a few awkward issues.
--The idea of just dropping the Lunar Shower talent from raid specs has become pretty popular. It first this seemed like a problem, but...

State of the Balance Druid

The Balance Druid in Cataclysm is one of the most interesting and complex DPS classes ever put forth by Blizzard. People who don't play Balance often know very little about the class (among other reasons, because the mechanics are new and unique). And for people who do play Balance, it's often not obvious how to optimize your play. You often have you use your judgment, and a solid high-level understanding of the way the class works is important. This post is a basic analysis of the current Balance...

Feedback on Resto and current PTR notes (and a little Moonkin)

As usual, just publicly posting any feedback I give:

Few things on Resto (I should do Balance at some point, but Balance is really complicated).

1) Effloresence. People have been talking about this a lot lately. In particular, perhaps a redesign inspired by the current PTR bug where it's healing one player per tick. That could be a pretty neat way to have to an AoE heal work, actually (among other things, it would allow Swiftmend to be used...

Feedback on Bugs and Lunar Shower

As I've done before, just reposting some feedback I've sent in to Blizzard.

-----------------------

Just catching up a bit. Patch day seemed like a good time since I can see what things you fixed that weren't in the notes (there are a few nice ones, like Lunar Shower stacking properly and Eclipse direction resetting on death).

Outstanding bugs:
1) Euphoria. The double-energy proc does not occur if you have 36 or more energy. i.e. if you have...
