Can we just talk about how blizzard made a new ability (Eclipse version whatever we’re on) 32 seconds and then created a whole talent point to reduce that ability by 2 seconds……? Can we talk about how absolutely lazy that is?
you can almost hear the conversation in the break room..
dev 1 “Man.. balance druids are so clunky… and we need a whole azz extra talent point”
dev 2 “shoot man! Make’em more clunky while making the illusion of ‘listening to the player’. Make eclipse a whole button… but here’s the kicker and your ‘fix’ with your talent problem”
dev 1 * sips his coffee from a golden goblet for coming up with selling a mount for $90 *
”……. I’m Listening”
dev 2 “make the stupid button 30 seconds PLUS 2 extra seconds….”
dev 1 * eyes widen * “…… yeah???…… then what"…?”
dev 2 “make the dumb talent REDUCE the stupid button by A WHOLE 2 SECONDS!”

I’ve absolutely hated having Eclipse as a button, especially on the global cooldown. It feels clunkier than casting two Starfires in order to spam Wrath (at least to me). Maybe it will feel better at level 90, but it feels terrible. Reducing the cooldown to 30 seconds isn’t going to make it feel or play much better. It should have been 30 seconds to begin with.

It does feel better at level 90 because it shoots out solar or lunar bolts which makes it feel like a damage spell kind of when you press it. The instant cast starfire/wrath is okay as well to get damage rolling.
I personally think it feels better than the previous “2 wraths to get into lunar eclipse” system, which I found very unintuitive. But I’m still not in love with it. I wish they could find a more seamless integration for eclipse or just consider removing it as a “stance” entirely and completely rework it.
To the OP: I completely agree that 2 seconds off eclipse talent is a slap in the face. They could have just made the eclipse base cooldown 30 seconds but decided to nerf it just to shoehorn a talent in because they obviously ran out of time or ideas.
