Blizz, Full Moon is the sickest balance Druid ability. I’m sure every balance Druid loves the look and epic power of it.
I swear you should capitalize on this ability and make it what boomkins are known for.
Just like ele shaman with lava burst.
Full Moon deserves to be our number one main ability.
That is all.

Remember the Sound effect it launched with? That resounding crashing “thud” on impact.
I’ve never forgiven them for changing it. Sounds so lame now.

Should be the new aoe astral power spender that the spec so desperately needs.

We’re getting the Torghast power that lets it proc every 20th moonfire tick or something. At least we get that

Hmmm… are you satisfied with that? I think it should at least be a little more. Step in the right direction though? It just needs to be THE spell for boomkin. That’s all i know.
If it was THE spell it wouldn’t feel special. So I disagree with that. I’m definitely happy with getting the Torghast power. It can already be taken as a talent. I think perhaps it could be like a proc chance off if starsurge on a target with moonfire or something just so it’s useable on demand instead of a dot tick but honestly I’m cool with the addition for now.

Couldn’t disagree more. Lava Burst in wrath feels pretty dang special. My wife is still pretty dang special to me even though I have her every day for years now.
Just that part I disagree with you on. You’re still the 
Flapz!
Every 15 shooting stars I believe sends a full moon.
I’m not on beta yet so I don’t know if it’s every 15 total or 15 on a target.
I assuming taking solstice with that and Pulsar to proc as many eclipses as possible to get as many shooting stars as you can would be the play.
Could end up being amazing but we’ll see.
Kinda concerned about Pulsar in DF.
Right now we have the set bonus to help with AP generation and option to chunk out more Starsurge and Starfalls. 300 AP to proc it without the set seems like it’ll feel really terrible.
Could be wrong tho.
Lol, thanks but I feel like that’s a big reach on the analogy 
Let me clarify.
If new moon was the defacto spell, starsurge would essentially go away. The way new moon is currently it looks great, sounds good, does huge damage and generates huge AP. It’s perfect for a proc or special moment and not so for a constant spender. Lava burst is infinitely less impactful than new moon by comparison. Especially visually, can you imagine fire mages reigning down meteors like every few seconds? It’d look and feel weird.
So I mean I know you love you wife haha. I do too. But that doesn’t mean when I have a night to myself away from the wife and kid or just when they’re asleep that it doesn’t feel great. It doesn’t happen all the time. Or like going out to dinner at our favorite restaurant. If I did it for every meal of every day it’d just be meal time and stop being “going out.” That’s all I mean.
If new moon became the spender it’d obviously have to not generate AP, look way less drastic, and then starsurge would… I don’t know. I just think it’d be an unnecessary rework.

I remember the BFA blizzcon when hotted who was a PVPER druid was playing the BFA alpha. The dev was sitting next to him and he was like where is full moon? and the dev was like oh its removed in BFA, and hotted was like wtf? and the dev was like looked at him confused like didnt understand. Shortly later they re-added it but nerfed it to the ground and made it a talent so most people didnt pick it.
Turn DF Full Moon into BFA Greater Pyro. It won’t matter what you do to the rest of Balance’s mastery after that.
I feel like the moon spell should be the builder and not wrath starfire. the way it cycles is pretty much the rotation as it is. would be so much better imo. Just needs tuned to make work correctly as a builder
Yikes.
You add a spell to call down a Moon in one xpac and think it’s a good idea to remove it in the next? Talk about super out of touch.

I remember back in Legion when war mode was introduced along with PVP towers. If I couldn’t get a laugh out of typhooning you to your death I made damn sure to chunk people for a stupid % of their health bar with a full moon to watch them panic. And it was amazing.

It’s every 15 total.

And now we are being cattled into an eclipse generator lol which doesn’t really make the BOOM in boomkin if you ask me.

Think Full Moon should be guaranteed crit and maybe remove the damage is reduced beyond to nearby targets. Probably could make eclipse have a proc chance to convert to Full Moon. I can imagine Orbit Breaker being much more popular considering it isn’t reliant on a cast time to use and having sacrifice 3 globals for it specifically for mediocre damage.
They need to sell people on why they should use this outside of “it looks cool.”

The spec I went on PTR involves all of these and basically on 2 or 3 targets you can just spam moonfire sunfire and starfall because you generate so much astral power from shooting stars and full moons is actually kidna crazy.
Theres also a really strong single target spec that basically has 80% of your damage from starsurge (35%ish) and shooting stars (40%ish) which is crazy strong for single target.

Yeah if it does no damage it may as well be a fire mage’s meteor. Looks cool and whatnot but nobody cares if it doesn’t no damage.
