How would one find the number of nibelung procs from a World of Logs report? In a heroic anub'arak encounter, I only had a 58 second uptime, which I assume was 2, possibly 3 procs (for a whopping ~1% of my overall damage). In any case, I was casting hurricane for a very significant portion of the encounter, and looking at the number of casts, I would only expect a proc count that low if hurricane and starfall were not giving a chance to proc. I had right around 155 starfire/wrath/is/mf casts, and this lines up relatively nicely with the observed procs. If you add in the 770 hurricane ticks, however, this moves from fitting nicely to being highly improbable.

1) Does anyone happen to have a search string to find the number of val'kyr procs? (Or OF uptime, on a completely unrelated note)
2) Can anyone else confirm the lack of procs on hurricane ticks?

edit: I forgot to include the link to the log.

World of Logs - Real Time Raid Analysis

I noticed that for your lich king spec you sport typhoon, I have only seen about the first fourty percent and haven't seen a fitting time to use it. I was just curious of when in the encounter you are using it. On a side note, the encounter seems extremely OFK friendly.

Are you kidding me? I use Typhoon every time Eclipse drops, nice extra damage for a 1.5s cast that hits about 6-7 creeps. Makes it worth it imo. I'm considering whether to pick up Gale Winds for that fight, and drop improved Moonfire instead.

Anyway, it seems that the majority of us are using DoTs less often, and they are turning out a DPS loss rather than gain. Which shouldn't be the case. I hope Blizzard give moonkins one more buff before cataclysm, tbh, IS /MF critting from base would do it. I'm just not convinced any longer of the worth of casting MF/IS once you've lost the set bonus, and probably would never cast them if the idol didn't rely on them. The idol makes them worth casting, if barely, that and IIS. However I should start experimenting with dropping them off altogether, which should free points from Improved Moonfire and Improved Insect Swarm - likely to feed a 3/3 OF and 2/2 Gale winds

Do you guys think that with hard modes coming out next week and the majority of us having 4t10 it might be worth running numbers for a DOTless play style or maybe one with just IS to help tanks get 3% more dodge.

I use it mainly for phase 4 on vile spirits, Not only does it help slow the whole pack but also gets a little more aoe damage on them when they are coming down. Have to jump and use it though :P

Thanks We finally got to this point last night, we got very close but not quite all the way. In the attempts which we did get to this phase I was extremely happy to have the point into typhoon because it pretty much saved my life. Glyph of Starfall is also amazing on this encounter as you stated earlier. So many mobs to hit, so little time.

I usually Pre-pot Wild magic, pop treants. Then go through one eclipse round and drop my Starfall. Many of the ghouls and the shambler aren't up if you do the previously mentioned method. I also usually enjoy using Wild magic at the beginning of fights do to the additional crit making an eclipse proc faster leading me to start a faster, harder hitting rotation early.

I think a point for IS is worth it but 3 more for IIS less so as our gear scales. Being generous, say Wrath is 40% of you damage, 3% of that is 1.2% and that assumes IS is up for every Wrath, eclipse or not. Meaning you could easily be losing an eclipsed wrath cast to get the IS up. OF is +10% damage while it is up. Looking at a couple of my past WMO reports it looks to be up 15-20% on all bosses (more on some bosses, 0 on others). Which is 1.5-2%. If one decides to only cast IS when moving, before expect stuns etc, then that can free up a glyph slot for SFall which is very nice for a lot of fights, procing NG, OoC etc. Unglyphing IS also allows the IS 3% miss debuff to be active again, which can be nice on a fights where tank damage has known spike times (like after 3 inhales, or P3 Putricide ). I'm still testing 3/3 OF vs IIS on different weeks and I'm not completely sold either way. For the glyph part, you can re-glyph if you want to every fight depending on which is best. If you dual dps spec, you can change all of it every fight. Which would be great for comparing back to back fights (with same raid composition etc) but my offspec is tree which i sometime need in 10m

PS I know i oversimplified the math above (and ignored the MF>SF crit bonuses), but i think the general point still holds true. I leave the hard math calcs to the pros

Zoomkins this info is amazing. Thank you! Did you try remove your glyph and knock them back?

Hi!

I've recently quit all my Balance of Power points, Moonglow and Intensity, to reintegrate some aoe spells into my raiding spec - seeing how much trash we have to clear to kill the boss. Just now I respecced again - quit the trees and Gale Winds and cut a point from Genesis and used them on Owlkin Frenzy. I've never had any points here so what I want to know is how often does it proc. Is it really useful or should I put those points to better use?

Also I see most druids here don't have Genesis in their specs. Should I reuse them? If so, where?
I never go OOM in raids, so I don't need to spec for mana reduction or mana regen, also I never do that much threat that a tank can't keep the boss off of me (and I surely never go above a hunter), AND I'm way over hitcapped so no Balance of Power for me.

Sorry if my first post here was too long.

Yea, but IMO at least, that ISS is good at least for the extra SF crit. I'm not good at math so I'm not gonna go into details. I just did a check, however, and only with IS and MF, I do 1k dps. 1k dps is alot to the final dps that I pull out at least. I mentioned the crit given by ISS, because mine is a bit low - 32.57% UB in moonkin form. Plus, Blizz seems to want us to keep on stacking those dot, seeing how the last 2 (?) idols have been designed for them.
