Moonfire in AoE- Balance druid

Classes Druid
1

Hello, one of the least desirable aspects of balance druid in raid or mythic plus is the ramp created by both the eclipse system and mastery design. Requiring both dots on a target before you can really dps is ok as a mechanic in single target, but it is silly in multi target situations- especially if targets are wide spread beyond the Twin Moons range.

Something that could be a simple solve for this that doesn’t require overhauling mastery or eclipse could be for Starfall to apply Moonfire, say once every 30 seconds or so. This feels like a straightforward solution that could neatly fill in the weaknesses in our current toolkit. Thoughts?

This is essentially where Balance shines though.

So much of your damage is in Moonfire and Sunfire as it is, that thinking the “ramp” time is simply wasted time is a noobish mistake to make.

Sunfire and Moonfire make up about 15-20% of your overall damage, a lot of time together beating out Starsurge in overall damage.

Stop thinking of “ramp” and start thinking of multi-dotting.
