How Bad is it to avoid Stellar Flare?

Based on these forums, it sounds like I’m not alone in my distaste for Stellar Flare.

Has anyone crunched the numbers and come up with a build that avoids it? how much dps loss are we talking?

best build i got so far is fury of elune build with incarn, then u pump as many starsurge/starfalls as u can with the talent that gives u cost reduction

Hah, that’s incredibly similar to my own attempts.

Did you measure the difference from the “meta” build? I’m not good enough at playing boomkin “properly” (with Stellar Flare) to know how much of my dps loss is just bad play vs a bad build.

its not your gameplay,
balance druids have been wanted this spell taken out of the game for so many years cuz its a casted astral dot thats get u kicked out of every spell school u have. youre not gonna lose any dps by not taking it, because it doesnt even do as much damage as moonfire/sunfire

lastly the major downfall
IT DOESNT APPLY MASTERY :frowning:
