High noon and Power of the Moon are being nerfed into the ground. As if things aren’t tedious, slow and terrible enough in this god forsaken expansion, they feel the need to savagely nerf a mid to bottom tier DPS spec as well. I can’t see why anyone would even want to play a Druid at this point. Guardian is trash. Feral is trash outside of pvp and they are getting nerfed to death in pvp. Now balance is going from trash single target and decent at aoe/cleave to just garbage for both.
I really believe they just want everyone to quit playing wow at this point. They are now the Apple of MMORPGs. Once great, but now garbage due to complacency and incompetence.
Yea I was having fun with moon. Seen the change to periodic and that cause me to change back to my shadow priest who got a nifty azerite power I'll be gunning for. And they have a much better pvp healing spec and a top of the line raid spec. Why bother staying with the druid with 3 crappy specs when I can cover pvp/raid/and decent dps with one class
And Twin Moons is getting nerfed in half. I also don't get how lunar strike and solar wrath hit for 2k and 1k respectively harder as resto than balance.
smh

Because the game is managed by trained chimps at this point. I mean they can’t even fix combat and evade/reset bugs. They also think people want a mob to take 20 minutes to die in the open world because that is somehow fun. I thought they couldn’t possibly screw things up harder than cata or wod, but the devs said “hold my beer”.

They are changing it from instant damage to period damage. Since the instant damage only happens to the main target, but the periodic damage happens to all targets, high noon might provide insane AoE damage.

This is done so healers can do significant dps in dungeons/raids. A balance will end up doing much more dps due to fluid rotations, procs, CDs, and astral power (starsurges). By making the baseline spell damage higher a resto can use solar wrath and moonfire, sunfire to be useful as well. This happens to all classes, not just druids.
Yea seems like they are shooting for more overtime dmg rather than moonfire/sunfire spam

Shadow priests are the least desired ranged DPS class in the game for raiding and m+.
Do people actually like moonfire spam? It seems cheesey and definitely unintended. I think the changes are fine honestly. They're trying to make stellar flare relevant and also buffing our mastery to make it less trash.
Ignore these forum posts and use the druid class discord. Every balance player there is happy since we got some really nice buffs on the PTR. They buffed our mastery and stellar flare talent.
They're drastically buffing Mastery, especially on single-target. Now Mastery improves Starsurge and Solar Empowerment at the same rate it improves everything else. This is an amazing change for Balance, regardless of Azerite traits being changed.
I'm confused, I thought the azerite changes were buffs? Why the hell would you care about moonfire/sunfire spam as if that's actually a viable high tiered playstyle? I would be much happier with the sustained cleave bonuses, depending on the scaling these might be extremely viable options, not to mention the mastery buffs.

Shadow top of the line raid spec? lol this must be a troll.
Yeah guys, you need to read this fully before you throw tantrums. Sure twin moons got a 10% nerf and the PotM and HN got nerfed in instant damage (but who took those anyway? Spamming one button is retarded; at least now those can be used in a ST build and actually provide a dps increase if that’s the only trait available to you).
Read the juicy stuff. I didn’t use stellar flare so I don’t know how that’ll end up but did you see mastery???
It used to be a 140% of sp increase to the dots and starfall and a 70% to starsurge. It also was 140 to lunar empowerment and a 70 to solar.
Now it’s literally 154% to everything
Mastery will be drastically more impactful with this. Starsurge will hit much harder (our top % attack in ST) as well as empowered solar wraths. Everything else will also hit slightly harder.
This is a buff guys, and a very good one at that.

That feel when I was super excited to see the Mastery changes
Also isn't this more of a net buff? I mean I hated only casting Moonfire with Power of the Moon to get the damage.
The Twin Moon's nerf is a little weird; the only reason it's a super high picked talent wasn't for the damage portion, but at least Stellar Flare might see some use here or there.
I wonder if the Mastery changes will make it better than crit :o

Which is good.
Why in the world are people complaining about this???
Spamming Moonfire/Sunfire is a moronic rotation........instead you should be wanting a solar wrath buff or something, but getting mad at this trait nerf is silly. In no way is spamming Moonfire smooth or even interesting, it's lame and feels lazy/dumb.
I also saw on dreamgrove's discord that they buffed our mastery?? So I'm not sure why ppl are mad about a nerf to a lame trait.....
Honestly, you are crying for no reason. I see balance doing ridiculous dps in Uldir.
Always want more, they should nerf you actually and give some attention to the needier specs
