So I get to do all the math for her). But like I said after losing those 7 talents to get it, it isn't really worth it (IF you could use it on starfall, which you can't, but I was thinking you could, etc). <br /><br />And I noticed that Nature's splendor thing as well. Seems a little weird to spend 3 talent points to get a 100% chance to lengthen IS and MF by only 3 seconds. why don't they do that for one talent point?<br /><br />I've played around with the "spec" and basically you have so many extra talent points atm (12 after getting resto talents, and getting the normal moonkin ones which doesnt include dreamstate and moonglow) that you have no reason not to get moonglow and dreamstate (as well as brambles and fill out genesis) everything else i left out was mainly pvp stuff (with the exception of gale winds) there was one random point left over that you can put just about anywhere.<br /><br />Basically only things I didn't get in the balance tree were Lunar Justice, Owlkin Frenzy (assuming its not useful for pve), Gale Winds, and Fungal Growth (again assuming the slow isnt useful for pve). Everything else is maxed and you spend 13 points in resto with pretty much the same distrobution as now (just getting a different talent instead of IMotW). <br /><br />This leaves you with one point. Probably could drop a point or two in brambles or genesis if OF or FG (or something else) is useful for pve.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16157988957802030898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3232240169123589462.post-91039523325793697302010-05-07T15:33:12.202-05:002010-05-07T15:33:12.202-05:00A lot is being done to buff up Moonfire's init...A lot is being done to buff up Moonfire's initial damage.

I was only looking at the first rank of BoP and missed that it is a 100% conversion.<br /><br />The real problem with Nature's Swiftness is that we don't have a good spell to use it with. All of our Nature spells are already instant cast or very close to it. Therefore NS won't help us much.<br /><br />@Daedalus<br /><br />Yes, the knockdown likely won't work on a boss, and I don't think of it as an inturrupt in the traditional "kick" sense, but it would stop a caster from casting, That could be very helpful in PvP or on adds in PvP.<br /><br />@Anon3<br /><br />You are correct and I am an idiot. Graylo fails at reading talent trees.<br /><br />@Robert<br /><br />I didn't miss it, I just don't think it's right. That looks a lot like some of the early versions of Nature's Splendor from the WotLK Beta.
