Frustrated Balance Druid Seeks help.......

[Deleted]

The bonus of damage of SE is only applied when wrath crits anyway so it's beneficial to that so with 2k crit rating it would mean that is up pretty much most of the time, my god... nerf 2p8.5 lols

I choked on my coffee on this aswell :P

Maybe it just is RNG, but I've noticed a large boost in DPS from just a few extra percent crit (say like from focus magic when we only have one mage). I favor crit as well, as it values your wrath, and thus would give you a better chance to proc your lunar eclipse and keep your eclipse rotations going. Gotta love when you manage to burn an entire eclipse cooldown trying to proc the other one.

Well, halfway through Ulduar (when i actually specced moonkin) i started being a lot more consistant with procs than usual. Crit benefits wrath damage, it keeps us topped on starfire, it increases procs. Even just in the runs where i have had 4pt9 on, i can really feel the 15% crit loss on starfire, when im trying to roll straight into solar eclipse using WiseEclipse.

That doesn't mean that my impression is shared with others, or that i am correct :P There are quite a few topics about it though - jump into one of those I think the general consensus, though, is something along the lines of "About time, but what about some compensation?".

May i ask Q if you or any other top boomkins have been using that cancel macros, im pretty sure Q doesn't, as i watched all those video and probably would have caught it. There was a Balance druid that was know for being very good and was pulling 7-8 k in vault with gear not to much better than mine, i have been perplexed about how someone in comparable gear would be doing SO much higher numbers..... have i found my answer in the stop aura macros?

WiseEclipse does what the cancel macro would do. WiseEclipse is just better at timing it I dont think anyone are actually using a macro to cancel lunar eclipse, because it would be pretty hard to time, but people have just been saying that its possible to do without an addon, just using a macro.

There was an 'intelligent' macro which I had been using for a few weeks prior to WE being put together, something like:

#showtooltip Starfire
/run local _,_,_,_,_,_,a = UnitBuff("player","Eclipse");local _,_,_,_,_,_,b = GetSpellInfo(48465);if a then if a-GetTime() < b/1000 then CancelUnitBuff("player","Eclipse") end end;
/cast Starfire


It's this macro what formed the basis of WE though - but it did the job just as well before the addon was 'mainstream' so to speak.

[Philosophist]

wow, i never even HEARD of that mod.

Are there any number on what kind of a DPS boost it gives?? I know there is a way for me to calculate it myself but im FAR to stupid for that. Hopefully someone will have a rough idea.

See, i actually had no idea the macro was so elaborate :P I figured that, if i were to do it manually, i'd just have a "/cancelaura Eclispse" macro, and try to time it correctly :P

Probably 2-400 DPS, depending on how well you handeled your rotation before the addon. Go get it, have a blast, you have a month to enjoy it
