Balance Raiding in Cataclysm - Page 39

Mercy Jesus, praise the Lord!

I called it on Starsurge being included in Moonfury. Now they need to just change it to include all balance spells (hello Typhoon).

Now, please let E&M be applied by all balance spells. Have haste/procs autoupdate on DoT's so I don't have to recast one of them after I get Nature's Grace.

Then make Wild Mushrooms something actually worth the space in my bars and I'll be happy in PvE.

Thorns is nerfed, not like it was useful to begin with as it was meant to be a PvP spell and yet it got purged/dispelled the instant it went up.

I wonder which is the best way to start a fight;
Lets say that the encounter can be pulled without having to move and starting your dps right when the pull is made.
I am thinking about starting at 80-95% to lunar. Prepot a speed and : S-Surge >Starfall( during the delay to proc an eclipse so you dont use moonfire and doesnt proc your nature's grace ) > moonfire > Starfire

OR

Starting at 80-95% to solar; S-Surge>IS> wrath.

I'd say starting lunar would be better for the effectiveness of the prepot?

( Idk why but i pull 12,5k dps outside icc with single target only with IS and sunfire ??)

Because there is no more GCD clipping, Haste is no longer disproportionately better for Lunar than Solar. Solar is just stronger in general. Two DoTs are buffed by Nature Damage (Sunfire and Insect Swarm), which is the biggest difference. Still not sure why there is no Arcane equivalent to Sunfire, even if it's baked into an Eclipse Starfire (similar to Ignite maybe?).
