We're not the only class/spec topping AoE anymore, and our static single target isn't exactly something to yell hooray for either. <br /><br />With this change, they take away such a big part of the managing and calculating our eclipses, wich is the thing i dislike most of all.<br /><br />On a good note though, the 2set with a burning treant fighting along our side sounds epic!Avahttp://owls-corner.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-39273189682070704032011-05-05T08:07:47.546-05:002011-05-05T08:07:47.546-05:00I've been testing a bit the new mechanich and ...I've been testing a bit the new mechanich and so far it looks like this:<br /><br />- IS will move your Eclipse meter towards Lunar if you're already on that direction and with no Eclipse buff or at 0 Eclipse power.<br />- MF will move your Eclipse meter towards Solar if you're already on that direction and with no Eclipse buff or at 0 Eclipse power.<br />- Both IS and MF will move the Eclipse meter towards the opposite one while in any Eclipse.<br />- Still, you'll get to cast both dots, one Starsurge and 5 Wrath/4 Starfire per Eclipse.<br /><br />Haven't seen any significant effect of Euphoria on dots though, but I haven't done a comprehensive testing either.Jallelnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-69963281840219167892011-05-05T03:42:02.995-05:002011-05-05T03:42:02.995-05:00This means shorter time in Eclipse mode (per Eclip...This means shorter time in Eclipse mode (per Eclipse) but faster in getting one. <br /><br />Even less mana problems then + IF you have (i havent yet grrr) the 4 set T11 bonus... a Major Boost in dps due to more and faster (guaranteed) crits.<br /><br />In PvP this is not a nice change.. and after the Starsurge nerf..

Wasting time on theorycrafting is just a way to show we're more worried about numbers than in our gameplay and at the same time a lack of faith we can be actually heard.<br /><br />I would be annoyed with a nerf but right now I'm just afraid of losing the will to play a class where the eclipse bar would be pretty much cosmetic, and no number compensation will pay off the awful change in gameplay.Pedrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17910653316291856400noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-73252062362169014982011-05-04T11:40:35.207-05:002011-05-04T11:40:35.207-05:00The movement problem still applies, since you migh...The movement problem still applies, since you might end up out of Eclipse if you keep casting MF buffed by Lunar Shower, and to clip a Eclipsed DoT is a dps loss. <br /><br />And the overcomplication on AoE got even worst now. You should keep multi-doting, but you dont want to DoT out of Eclipse. So, you will dot while you have more than 8 Eclipse power, then you will keep using WM/Starfall/Typhoon/Hurricane. <br /><br />Shit, Blizzard really loves to do the exact opposite what they say, since they said they wanted to get rid of overcomplicated rotations...Lothnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-29679466740341773842011-05-04T11:34:02.956-05:002011-05-04T11:34:02.956-05:00Can't they just buff the direct damage portion...Can't they just buff the direct damage portion of Moonfire so that our AOEs are similar either in Lunar or Solar?<br /><br />I can see MF spam in PVP to force eclipse faster during noneclipse. Not that it fixes anything with a super slow Starfire usually getting interrupted. Ger rid of moonglow and replace with an useful PVP talent!<br /><br />I wish they'd make it so dots generate lunar/solar when we're not in eclipse, instead of pushing us out of eclipse faster.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-57971341830262416022011-05-04T11:32:26.076-05:002011-05-04T11:32:26.076-05:00make this change any less terrible******make this change any less terrible******Shynernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-68125601447902397622011-05-04T11:32:00.894-05:002011-05-04T11:32:00.894-05:00The changing in wording is nice.. but it still doe...The changing in wording is nice.. but it still doesn't make this change terrible. The only nice thing about boomkins now was our ability to compete on AOE fights, and our ability to control our Eclipses. I know that on certain fights, I min/max my eclipses to a TEE.. I agree that one some fights AOE dotting is overepowered, but I don't think adding energy to dots is a decent way to fix this. It will end up hurting us on single target fights as well.Shynernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-39486157730846542632011-05-04T11:08:49.856-05:002011-05-04T11:08:49.856-05:00Doesn't the fact that sunfire is only availabl...Doesn't the fact that sunfire is only available during solar eclipse (and moonfire isn't), still leave the DoT power gains skewed to have more impact moving us out of eclipse than back into it?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
