[Balance] Cataclysm Simple Q & A

This is the thread for simple questions that don't fit anywhere else. If your question applies to one of the existing thread topics, please post it there instead; if you expect to generate significant additional discussion, create a new thread. If, however, you have a simple question that only requires a simple answer and don't see a better place to post it, this is your thread.

Note, however, that all forum rules still apply. You should still verify that the answer isn't already easily available before posting. Asking people to make specific gear or spec decisions for you is still against the rules. Proper capitalization, punctuation, and spelling are important even in short posts. And so on.

If your question isn't related to Balance, you are in the wrong thread and will most certainly receive an infraction.

<Nite_Moogle> i miss raiding with carebare :< she makes me feel like i am not the only person that hates everyone
Aldriana: I am an asshole, it just so happens that some of my colleagues are even *bigger* assholes.
[R] [85:Neux:2]: i hear if you die on Good Friday they are going to make it where you can't get rezzed until easter sunday
Khazal: Yeah, I don't know about Magic Rainbow Unicorn Land, but here in Reality, Rhyolith is the worst encounter Blizzard has ever designed.

From the Balance guide in the think-tank:

To check your hit rating, just mouse over it on your character sheet--it already includes the bonus hit from Balance of Power.
Can anyone verify if this is(n't) correct please? I have the Balance of Power talent but my hit rating seems to be showing only rating from Hit, and not Hit + Spirit. Reforging say Crit to Spirit does not change the character sheet. Bit new to this druiding game so hopefully I've not just missed something really obvious!

I had the same problem a few days before expansion started. The really simple solution to my problem was, that I was looking at "Ranged"-hit, and not "Spell"-hit.

For now I can say 100%, that my hit is shown correct in the char screen.

Oh dear me that's embarressing Legacy of playing warrior for so long. Thanks for the help.

Is the energy-doubling part of the Euphoria talent bugged or am I just never noticing the double-energy procs?

Without any proof, but I did have seen 0->40 Starfires on my own, so I think it's working properly.

I feel like a dumbass asking this but I searched the Cata Balance thread and got 0 results for clearcasting, clarity or OOC. Could someone explain to me why Omen of Clarity no longer effects Hurricane. I noticed the tooltip says it only effects cast-time spells so does this mean it doesn't effect instant or channelled spells now?

It's simply a balance issue. Saving 13k mana on an OoC proc was too good, especially since you can choose to use a hurricane each time you see it procc. Not 100% sure why it doesn't affect instant spells, perhaps that made it too weak if you "waste" a procc on a cheap instant. This was probably more an issue for Resto druids.

So is it currently worth it to have more blue gems than red to activate a chaotic meta gem? Or should I just gem all int like usual and not get the meta?

Anyone thinking of picking up the Volcano Darkmoon card? Seems like it would be quite nice but the mastery is putting me off slightly. However the trinkets from raiding are hardly bowling me over..

Any thoughts?

I believe the math on this said its actually is worthwhile activating the meta - of course, having said that, at some point it's going to revert back to the old style of activation so YMMV.

Here's a situation:
I want to bind a trinket to my moonfire, the macro no longer works when you are in solar... Is there a way to bind the trinket proc to both moonfire and sunfire without having to create 2 different /cast macros?

You can't even make a /cast Moonfire macro anymore, it just doesn't work. It might work to do this:

/use 13 (or 14 depending on which trinket slot you use)
/click ActionBarButton# (where # is the number corresponding to a place you have moonfire/sunfire on your action bar. This will be named differently if you use an action bar mod)
I don't really have a way to test this until January.

I've seen so many people talking about this bug, but I've never experienced it myself. Now granted, my testing is minimal since I've been playing mostly Resto, but I've run at least one instance at Balance and am often Balance when out soloing. I've always been able to cast both Moonfire and Sunfire with no issues, using the same macro I've had sitting in bar for a long time:
#showtooltip
/use [@target, harm, nodead][@targettarget, harm, nodead][] Moonfire
Next time I have some time, I'll try playing with it and seeing if I can reproduce the bug, but for now I'll just give the one data point.

I am a Jewel crafter and am getting nice trinkets that way. I agree, otherwise they are not great, so your idea sounds fine.
