- Moonfire
- Sunfire
- Starfall
- Starsurge
Guess what good players do about movement? -> They learn to delay SS, Starfall, MF and SnF slightly (mostly MF and SnF), to lessen the penalty of movement.
Oh wait! I need to move, but I need to HT before I can use this SS to proc Eclipse? LOL NATURE'S SWIFTNESS.
It's like magic. Some people believe, others just haven't seen good magic yet.
Blizzard has no intention of adding more cast-while-moving mechanics to this game. In fact, they're going to gut most of it in 5.4. I wouldn't be surprised if they completely did away with passive cast-while-moving effects. Spiritwalker's Grace is fine (15sec, 3min CD), because it's not passive -- KJC. This game has too many mechanics and changing something has too large an impact on other aspects. Stop trying to get the best of everything. No one ever felt good playing a game for 9 years if they ran around with /godmode active. I'm positive you never enjoyed cheating through a game as much as you did winning legitimately.
Back on topic:
If you don't want to cast DOC twice per Eclipse cycle, then pick up HOTW. It's like people need to be told how to play a damn game. It's a game, play as you want. If you want to be optimal, learn the optimal playstyle. If you want to use DOC, use DOC. If you don't want to use DOC, don't use DOC. Blizzard gives you options. You make the choices. I'm not even raiding progression in 5.4 and it feels like I've done more than my share of "helping the raiding community." Why don't the people who don't like DOC simply say why they don't like it? Seriously now, good feedback gets noticed. Give good feedback to theorycrafters and Blizzard alike, and we're going to criticize it for all its worth. You don't like casting HT once per Eclipse? Fine, but you're really not giving a reason as to why you dislike it. Because it feels clunky? What does "clunky" mean to you? Good feedback, or lurk more.
