If I may suggest. I have played WoW for close to three years now, and I have played all three specs on my druid quite frequently, in raids and PvP.
Restoration is a b-e-a-utifal talent tree, I would say to go Restoration for PvE, only because healers are needed alot more than DPS, and that I find Boomkin much more versatile in PvP. For the first time in a few months I went back to Boomkin for PvP, and I can end up at the top of DPS and like 4th in healing without trying in a BG. Moonkins are IMO much more useful in PvP than Restoration, though, I never get tired of going into a BG and healing through 5 hordies beaten the hell out of me
Thanks for reading, and if you would like my Boomkin PvP and Resto PvE Spec or Vice Versa, please E-mail me.

@ Andre — That rotation is actually what I’ve just shifted to. I have been very anti-Eclipse in the past, but used in the way you just mentioned, it has increased my DPS, and made raiding a little more fun, IMO.

As far as Starfall, its still my opinion its not worth the chance to pull another set of mobs, the 3 min CD, or the mana cost (even though I’m a mana beast). I can hit 3.4k DPS on a boss, go all out, and still finish the fight with 97% of my mana pool remaining

What % of your DPS does Starfall increase?

@ Thelothian — I think I’ll write my next post to answer this.

I’m looking for someone who can help me…
I’m really getting crazy… I’ve built and tried 5-6 talent trees, I’ve taken some epics with level 200 and actually i’ve only one item under lvl 185, I’ve changed my spell cycling following Elitistjerks advices (using their xls file for DPS Moonkin). In spite of this, my DPS is still under 1600 and i’m beaten by mages, Death Knight (tank!!!) and locks… I’m really confused and I can’t understand why.
I NEED your help to understand why… i cannot spend golds in respec only for trying, it’s only a loss of time.
This is my spec:

equip: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Stormrage&n=Thelothian

talents: http://eu.wowarmory.com/character-talents.xml?r=Stormrage&n=Thelothian

I’m actually using this spell cycling:
FF-MF-IS-SF (until Eclipse starts then i’ll switch to Wrath)
and sometimes, on low level trash mob, i’m using a simple FF-MF-IS-WRATH…

Therefore i can’t understand where’s the problem, and why i can’t make a decent DPS.
Blizzard says that moonkins are one of the best dps class… but i can’t see this.
I don’t want to respecc and become feral…
Please help me.
Thanks in advance.

RE: Andre – that’s a pretty interesting take on Starfall -in that you can go back into your rotation.

I think an example of this would be the old kingdom spider boss where you can focus on the boss or the guardian and let starfall work on the little mobs.

Yes no? It’s likely that it’s still very situation but highly useful when you can figure out situations to use it.

Want to start by saying thank you. I have been looking to get my WOW fix while at work for a few months and finally stumbled on to your site. i am a long time feral druid and went moonkin for the guild (and myself cause every tank secretly wants to blow stuff up from far away) and have been looking for every and any forum that could help me get better. I have been raiding Naxx 10-25, slowly but surely, and have been looking for ways to up my dps. I am not hit capped (i dont know what it is right now….that whole work thing.) and raid buffed about 1900 spell power. I am sure my dps could be higher if my rotation was better. I have tried playing with it a few different ways but with similar results.

rotation: FF/IS/MF/SF x (till eclipse) Wrath (till eclipse ends) REPEAT!

That is what i have had the most success with. And to touch on Starfall…i use that on boss fights all the time. Its plainly just more DPS. Unlike hurricane that requires you to focus you can proc starfall and go back into your rotation. I would vote: YES to talenting Starfall.

Wow, this has turned into a long post. So any recommendations would be great.

Grats on the no smoking thing. i have NEVER smoked but my wife does. We tried but just seems that she will not have the gumption to let it go.

Good question, I would also assume they’d be the same, but you should probably double check with another source if you plan on going feral DPS.

BTW, I still haven’t decided on whether or not I’ll do

Moonkin PvE Spec and Moonkin PvP spec

Moonkin PvE Spec and Resto PvE spec

for when duel specs come out.

Its tough deciding.

Congrats on quitting smoking. Nice post about Hit Rating since I was curious about that. I wonder if Feral hit cap would be the same (probably? since they were merged)
