TBH I personally dislike the Moon spells. It's weird.
Here's some of what I'd love to see:
- Combine MF/SF into StFl, or make MF also AoE. SF better get Sunblind baked in because a 5y radius is GARBAGE (see Lunar Strike if you don't believe that).
- If StFl stays as is, it's now instant-cast and/or doesn't have an AsP cost. Keeping it with a cost AND cast time makes it too horrible to bother with.
- Moon ability scrapped. Entire L90 tier scrapped. Blessing of Elune is now baseline.
- SOTF scrapped; SS and SF cost the same instead of forcing a talent just to AoE correctly. SOTF replaced with something less mandatory.
- Starlord and Nature's Balance baked in. We've had Starlord for as long as I can remember as a non-choice talent. It was called Grace of Nature IIRC. Used to be when you crit, you'd cast quicker. Now it's a talent that you have to take over other stuff. Removing SL from the talents now makes WoE and FoN actual choices with whatever else you can fit on that tier. NB is an awful talent and just a QoL bump for reapplying DoTs (and was also a non-choice talent IIRC).
- Stellar Drift made baseline (the radius increase and mobility).
- Something needs to be fixed on the L30 tier. Blink too strong yet horrible QoL for DPSing (2 globals), Renewal too weak (even as a 50% heal it's too weak due to it competing with our primary movement option). WC is perfect as is. Consider making WC or NB baseline and the talent is replaced with a Barkskin improving ability. Maybe let you turn Barkskin into Resto's Ironbark? Maybe increase Barkskin's effectiveness dramatically and/or reduce the cooldown?
Here's probably the reality: Nothing changes. Dead talents just left to rot or made so OP that they're mandatory.
