To be honest this is the main point I was getting at anyway, I was just suggesting a reason why GoIS could pull ahead of GoW, in a heavy movement fight that would be logical. As Zilulil says, GoW may pull ahead on a patchwerk fight with 4sT13heroic, but aside from Ultraxion is probably isn't practical for this raid tier.

Seeing as BiS is starting to lean towards taking heroic items in all slots avaiable (at least from my quick look at WC), this causes a dramatic loss of haste compared with using VP belt/boots and crafted wrists, so it could be the case that the lower haste could line up Starfall better. It will probably require more evidence and ultimately knowledge of the fights to know for sure. For example, I would say that any fights which allow multi-DoTing but not solar cleaving should provide an easier time lining up Starfall with every Lunar Eclipse.

Which is nice, but also has the downside of sometimes screwing up your refreshing of dots just as you're leaving an eclipse. It kind of sucks that a legendary staff actually hurts your dps rotation sometimes.

I just notice that DTR proc will consume your Shooting Stars if you don't (or can't) use it before DTR procs a Starsurge.

There are actually way worse implications than that, e.g. when you want to get to one cast before the end of eclipse before AoEing at Ragnaros HC so you can get to Lunar and back to Solar before next spawn or when you want to save the last cast into Eclipse for when your mana has been drained at Yor'Sahj. Staff procs have been constantly destroying my DPS in those cases, especially at Ragnaros where travel time is so high that you can easily get off 2 additional Wraths before the first one procs the staff.

But in the end the chance of Blizzard trying to fix those issues is pretty slim now so we'll just have to live with our BiS weapon randomly destroying our DPS or severely hindering our rotation if you plan around the RNG.

Ooh, Monolith. I was on Llane for a short time back in BC, in uh... the guild had Darkaeo as a tank.

It still, essentially, steals a spell from you. You should have had three spells in the time it takes Starsurge to come off CD and while DTR is giving you a free one, it is consuming the other.

Since it only consumes the instant cast buff and does not place Starsurge on CD you still get the 3 you would get otherwise. You just need to hard cast the last one instead of it being instant.

If you have enough distance to the target such that you can hit starsurge right as the one that caused the proc hits you can use the shooting stars proc and then the proc will shoot another, however that will cause starsurge to go on cooldown like normal. I mainly saw this happen on rag.

I'd like to know if this is true.

It's because the BiS profiles for moonkin are at a breakpoint that causes DI to be worth a lot more than it normally would while the shadow priests are not.

I just found out on a dummy that the Lunar asymmetry has been fixed. Out of full neutral, you go to Lunar first, then to Solar, and then all the way back to Lunar. I think this means it's worth speccing into now.

That is just false. On a couple of them its a true dps loss, and on even fewer is it a meaningful dps loss. The only fight in which its a true dps loss is deathwing. And even then its probably debatable. You could make an argument for zonozz, but you should probably be focusing tentacles down. I could see it there though.

Where do you get 7/8 heroics? That doesnt even make sense. This is the best tier so far for new lunar shower.
