Sunfall vs Starfall damage?

[Kestaa]

Are the spells that Glyph of Solstice replaces intended to be weaker than their non-glyphed counterparts? Sunfall is only hitting "up to 2 targets" vs Starfall hitting "all enemies."

Hurricane hits for "15.825% of Spell power" and costs "10% of base mana" while Astral Storm hits for "12% of Spell power" and costs "25% of base mana."

I get that the mana is irrelevant, but the other two seem like an awfully big trade-off. Thoughts?

My last question is ... When you glyph "Untamed stars" (your Starfall and Sunfall now hit all enemies within 40 yards.) would it now be a dps increase to use sunfall since it does a base of roughly 200 more damage to each target?

It's old tooltips, the spells are the exact same except for changing spellschool.

Everything that you see in those tooltips are just typos, sunfall and starfall are the same spell, with the difference that starfall scales off the lunar eclipse and sunfall off the solar. Sunfall is better for burst AoE, when you should control the eclipse bar to your favor, due to the fact that you can apply sunfire and still be in the "right side" of the eclipse, making Sunfall have a higher average damage/hit with proper control. For sustained AoE the damage averages out to be the same, so that it doesn't really matter if you use the glyph or not.
