Moonkin DPS in need of a help....I think :/

[Deleted]

Hi there, me again...
Atm, I do 12-14k DPS and from what I have been hearing I should be doing around 18k+. I know it's not my rotations as that is perfect. I have same rotation as others on my realm who does awesome dps. I have been told to reforge my Hit into Spirit as I go OOM alot in raids, and I am doing it.
I just want to know what stats I am missing? I have enough hit, more then enough...So I've been told :S. My haste is around the 2100 mark I think. What stat am I lacking to get the extra DPS I need.

Here is my link --> http://eu.battle.net/wow/en/characte...m/focal/simple
Before anyone says anything I know I need to replace my Head and Bracers

Any help would be appreciated
Thank you in Advance

First of all spirit does not help mana regen... is your dps low because you're going oom?

Also... your armory shows you at 12.47% hit. If thats the gear you raid in, then you are well below the hit cap

Tbh, I really don't know. I can go all out on a raid boss and the max I will get is about 14k and yes I do go OOM about twice during that fight :/

Seeing as my druid is healing/tanking, i might be saying something stupid, but oh well wouldn't be the first.

Doesn't boomkin get fairly good mana regen from going all the way to lunar or solar?

Not that I'm aware of, I know when I do hit the procs I can cast more spells without going OOM, but it's when they're not procced that's the problem :/

If you are doing your rotation right, which is going back and forth between eclipses you really shouldn't have mana issues.

What kind of fight are you having the most trouble?

[Deleted]

The biggest trouble I get is with Adds, like in BWD, that's a bitch to my mana.

Are you using hurricane?

[Deleted]

Haha yes xD I am, I use it when the adds first spawn, then I use my normal moves onces there health is lower.

Probably because you're spamming hurricane. Try multidotting and wild mushroom instead.

Thats your problem, hurricane costs alot of mana and its damage is poor. shrooms and dots for multiple targets

[Deleted]

Hurricane is useless, try multi-dotting instead (Starfall + Shrooms as well)

Make sure you're going from Lunar > Solar > Lunar > Solar eclipses (Every spellcast should be pushing it to each respective lunar state)

Make sure your dots are always ticking (reapply them before your eclipse state runs out if necessary)

Get to the hit cap, you're way under it.

Spirit doesn't help in combat regen for moonkins. Also, your treants don't benefit from the hit given by spirit, so you need at least 8% HIT rating for them to be capped

I'd like to feel that my useless question contributed to the solution ^_^

[Whateva]

Hehe nvm people already answered :P

All thats been said already in the previous posts. And you do not need 8% hit for treants.... testing has been done, and treants are hit capped as long as the caster is spell hit capped...

Yup I always do the Lunar > solar thing. And make sure it's glowing before switching. I never let myself let a dot wear off

Your the first person who has ever said I'm under hit capped Thank You (Hug) Finally someone who doesn't think I'm hit capped :P

So should I keep doing what I was doing before by reforging Spirit into hit etc?

Focal first post by me, I said you were under hit cap.....

[Big Baz]

You shouldn't be going OOM and your hit chance is far too low. Not sure who told you otherwise. Using Hurricane is certainly a huge mana drain, causes a lot of problems for the boomkins with me on some fights. Instead, they multi-dot which serves them with a MUCH better dpm.

Edit: (Addition) You need to keep getting your hit chance up until when you scroll over it with your cursor it will show you that {skull} targets are a 0% chance to miss. Which is 17% for casters. (Unsure of whether Balance druids get any hit benefits sorry, been a hell of a long time since I played any Balance spec).

[doomchken]

Also hit and spirit are basically the same thing for you thanks to one of your talents

Spirit is hit for moonkins, via our talent tree. So reforging spirit to hit is pointless. To get hit capped, STOP reforging out of spirit, and start reforging into it.
