Try checking my WrathCalcs I posted here:
Moonkin Raiding

I don't actually remember offhand how Ado's last version of the spreadsheet handled haste, but that sounds like a suspiciously low marginal value. Crit > Haste for Lunar shouldn't really be appearing at any current stat values.

I'll to finalize some stuff in the sheet and post it back on the WC thread; I know the updates I put in the general Moonkin thread get lost quickly.

The DoT retains any %-based damage buffs you had at the time you cast it.

Same for Shadow Crash; I've tested that.

Looks like extended Moonfires don't behave differently:

e: whoops, wrong thread. Reply to this: Druid: Simple Questions/Simple Answers

Any DoTs are calculated off the buffs (and debuffs) you have at the time you cast it. When you extend it, it continues at the same damage or healing that it had when it was first cast. Lifebloom (although a HoT and not generally what you were asking about) appears to be a semi-weird oddity since it does not follow this rule.

e: Referring to below, a better term would probably be "extend," rather than refresh.

I don't think you meant it this way since it was in the context of answering a question about the Starfire glyph, but I'm afraid this explanation may encourage people to clip their DoTs/HoTs in order to maintain the temporary buffs of an initial cast, which is wrong.

So to clarify: If a different ability "refreshes" the DoT/HoT (like in the case of the SFire glyph's effect on MF or, to use another class' example, Mind Flay's talented effect on SW:P) then it uses the SP/buffs of the original cast. If you refresh the DoT/HoT by re-casting the spell then it uses your current SP/buffs.

LB isn't an exception to those two rules; it just happens to stack, which has the possibility of leading to some wrong assumptions (though mid-BC those assumptions might have been right). Every time you cast LB on a target it re-calibrates the whole stack to your current SP/buffs regardless of whether you're refreshing a stack, adding to one, or casting LB on a fresh target.

Hi everyone, just need some pointers on bear tanking.

What is the required hit, expertise and def a bear should have to tank raids such as naxx or ulduar? Really sorry for asking such a simple question, this druid is my first tanking character. I've searched all threads in druid section but can't seem to find a post that answers my questions.

You can't find an answer because you're asking the wrong question, grasshopper.

Tanks of all stripes focus on survivability first, and then threat. This is particularly true of druids, who tend to have pretty good threat anyway. Your primary survivability stats are stamina and agility.

Defense isn't as important for bears because we are naturally uncrittable (via SotF). Defense has some value (as it gives miss as well as dodge), but it isn't as good an avoidance stat as pure dodge (which we get more of from agility than from dodge rating). Since we are uncrittable, there is no defense "cap" for us.

Hit and expertise caps for druids are the same as for any other melee class. We gain 10 expertise from talents, but no hit from talents. You need 56 expertise to fully cap against parry and 263 hit to cap physical hit. Generally speaking, bear gear is rogue leather plus druid staff plus tanking cloak and jewelry. The amount of hit we get naturally from gear alone should generally be sufficient (e.g., I wouldn't gem/enchant for it). The same is generally true for expertise (though I've never been able to cap it). Note that expertise is a red stat, so I doubt that many would suggest gemming for it over agility unless you are building a very specific threat set - something that is certainly not required in Naxx and is only really an option for one or two hard-mode Ulduar fights.

In short - gather rogue leather (favoring the stuff with high stam and agility over the stuff with high AP), tanking cloak/jewelry (favoring the stuff with dodge/defense over stuff with parry/block), and a good staff. Gem/enchant for a mix of stamina and agility, favoring stamina until you get to around 40k buffed (for Naxx).

Is this a valid macro to use to test the GCD?

I tested this with my toon and got a reply of 1.092.
This is with no buffs, no party or raid, and Haste of 323.
Here is the armory for my druid since my Warrior Tank is my character listed here.
The World of Warcraft Armory

Hrm... can someone help me understand the Haste tables given in the Resto Itemization thread?

I am not spec'd into Celestial Focus yet my Haste Rating of 323 gives me 1.092 GCD with 5/5 GotEM.
I see no table for Trees WITHOUT Celestial Focus.
The Post begins...

"In order to maintain a 1sec GCD on Rejuv, LB, and WG:"

Then continues the tables with the one below...

"No outside buffs at all (only 3/3 Celestial Focus)"
"0/5 GotE = ~45.6% Haste = ~1497 Haste Rating"
"1/5 GotE = ~39.80% =~1305 Haste Rating"
"2/5 GotE = ~33.97% =~1114 Haste Rating"
"3/5 GotE = ~28.15% =~923 Haste Rating"
"4/5 GotE = ~22.32% =~732 Haste Rating"
"5/5 GotE = ~16.50% =~541 Haste Rating"

The last .092 seconds of my GCD doesn't seem worth 218 haste rating.
Please help a confused Tree.

Ok, I worked a lot with that issue and I hope this is correct: Your GCD is 1.092 sec at the moment, so lowering your GCD down to 1.005 sec would mean that you're casting effective 8% faster (not 8% points). I think this should be great, but I'm not sure about the part where latency and lags come into the game and if a GCD @ 1.0 is really *that* good, but according to most of the other users, this is supreme.

I used this formula: GCD = 1.092 * 0,92 (your GCD + 8% haste)

Ah, and by the way, you really don't have any supoprt in your raid like moonkins, retri paladins or a casting shaman? I mean ... A totem and a retri would bring you very closely to the GCD with their support (323 out of 359, ~1% haste still missing).

And it's true that a table for the GCD without any outside buffs would be quite interesting. I'd appreciate it if anyone could do some testing and share his/her results with us ;-)

Does any Tree out there take Celestial Focus?
Again I'm just confused why the "No Buffs" table in the haste guide says that CF is taken.
(My speculation is that it's a typo and the "No Buffs" table really is just that.. No Buffs and No CF.)
Does anyone spec that deep into Balance?? I thought the goal was to have enough raid and gear haste buffs to actually take points OUT of GotEM.

My guild only does 10 man content due to our roster. We do have a Ret Pally and Elemental Shaman (I would be the only Moonkin if the Shaman runs Resto that run), so I'll talk to them about getting me some of those buffs.
Thanks Everyone

So i have a question for all you moonkins out there about the Hodir fight, I am trying to increase my spell damage in order to compete with other classes and yes i know it is benificial to stand by the fires or light beems to get the buffs but should i change up my spell rotation to increase my damage? I currently use IFF,IS,MF,wrath till eclipse proc tne spam starfire now i find this quite difficult to manage as you have to be constantly moving to get the ice buff off of you. Should i just cut out IS and MF all together? Also should i be stacking my haste gear or crit gear?
