Nothing lowers the gcd. So yeah you would have .75 second left of gcd.

Spell haste does not. Bloodlust/heroism does.

I got the gem a few days ago, and I have managed to catch the spell haste once so far. I will probably just have to keep an eye out for it so I don't always miss it, but being extended to 10 seconds is going to be a blessing. It seems to only last for 3 seconds, which is hardly enough time for me to catch it, stop moving, and cast something. I must have wasted 99%% of the procs.

I use Power Aura to catch the buff proc of the metagem, it's really nice because Scarab of the Infinite Cycle has the same visual effect so you can see the two proc together. It's more eye-catchy than a sct sentence or check the buffs.

It also does have an audible effect, I catch most of my procs because I heard it.

I thought it had been proven that Bloodlust/Heroism didn't reduce GCD. Certainly whenever Heroism is up I get spell is not ready errors when I try to chain cast Scorch.

Until very recently it was thought that Bloodlust/Heroism reduced the GCD. Moogle and some other folks did some works that show with reasonable certainty that it does not, but really bizarre lag effects can make it seem like it does.

The details are in Working Theories of Theorycrafting as of 2.1 somewhere.

I wanted to get it on my pally - a 1 (or would it be 1.25?) second holy light is insane, but nobody I knew could make it, so I cheaped out and got the mana restore one :P I'm actually quite happy with it, and get quite a good amount of use out of it, especially when I'm running around, LoS'ing mana burners, I just spam between different auras to get procs, it's given me that extra mana boost to throw a couple of FoLs to save matches every now and then. But yeah, I think I'd still rather the mystical skyfire, damn world drop

After reading this thread for the first time a few days ago, I invested in this meta and I have been freely recommending it for all of my guilds caster DPS. After not too much play time with it, my best chain is a triple proc - which is pretty ridiculous when the last bolt prior to the chain triggers ISB.

Very cool meta indeed.

Im also going to be using this for PvP as a balance druid. Was wondering what meta to use for PvE. There is no way i cna use this one for PvE due to the blue gem requiments and me mstly using dmg or hit/dmg gems. I am currently using the spirit shards meta. I cant decide if its worth getting the mana regen or the crit one or stay with pure dmg. Ive heard man differeing opinions if crit or pure dmg is better for balance druids. Any suggestions?
