@ Psychole —

Yeah, this post is kind of dated, I pick up Starfall in my current spec, and will love it even more when 3.1 hits and the CD is halved.

I’m not a fan of Typhoon. IMO – Hurricane still rapes for Trash. While Typhoon is useful for fights like Gluth and solo’ing, when I pick it up, I usually Glyph it.

I do currently have Gale Winds though, but that will change in 3.1 since I will take 3/3 iFF.

nice website here, just stumbled into it.

In my opinion, starfall is a useful talent to have, since if gives us chickens another thing to hit whilst being forced to move (think: thaddius/grobbulus) and a nice aoe whilst being able to focus on the boss (think: gluth).

on another note, what do you think about the typhoon + gale winds talents, since its an instant cast aswell and gives some thrash-bonus points?

@ Schugga –

Aren’t your consecutive Wraths + haste + NG bumping into the GCD?

Are there any moonkins guide around with some worth reading information about the 2 different eclipses and why one is better then the other.

I usually keep all dots up on my rotation and i only use starfire eclips when starfall is up since Warth hits for 10k+ with both trinkets trigged.

Tried lately going for the starfire eclipse but it didnt improeve my dps at all.. still doing 4.2k on PW (25 naxx)

I used to have IMP FF in my rotation but i dropped it, i now keep up IS and MF while spamming wrath until eclipse procs etc etc etc.
But im going to drop IMP FF from my talents and try to put the points into something more DoT oriented

@ Kus –

Fair enough. Only thing I have to add is I believe someone did the math, and determined that 3% extra Wrath damage while keeping up IS and spamming Wrath to proc Eclipse was more of a DPS increase than the 3% crit that IFF offered.

Not sure where I saw that, but its definitely something to look into.

@Mac

The reason why I say IFF is worth taking is solely dependent upon if you have a Feral druid who is putting up FFF. If he isn’t, it depends on the make up of the raid. When you know that you have a S.Priest and a Feral druid who puts FFF up, then IFF is very much worth taking because you don’t have to do anything to gain 3% crit. When you lack a S.Priest, IFF is still worth taking because you are giving 3% hit to everyone (which can make up for your dps loss.

The key thing to note is if the feral druid, preferably a bear tank, is putting up FFF. They do have a GCD to spend on it. In my case, I know my feral tank will be putting up FFF. Therefore in my situation IFF is worth more than Imp. IS. If I had the talent points to spare, Imp. IS would be taken as well. Since it would be 6% starfire crit from just talents alone.

[...] As a note here concerning the recent news on Improved Faerie Fire (in a nutshell, you’ll get the 3% crit no matter whose FF is up on a target, even a feral’s), Gray Matter on why the talent’s worth taking, and Macbook on the raid circumstances in which it might not be. [...]

@ Kusatteru –

IMO, IFF is not worth more over Imp IS. IIS increased crit by 3% on targets that had MF, if you use SF. I always keep MF up on bosses, so that is a 3% crit bonus to SF without having to keep anything additional up.

Casting IFF is a DPS loss if it doens’t benefit your raid. It is only a real DPS increase for you if you don’t have to cast it on targets, and a feral druid is keeping up FF.
