(4) Set: Your chance to get Shooting Stars from a critical strike from Moonfire or Sunfire is increased by 8%.

The jury will be out until we see how this plays into the new shooting stars nerf.

The post 5.4 PTR: Baseline damage increase, shooting stars nerf appeared first on Sunfyre's Nest.

• Glyph of Guided Stars (NYI) Your Starfall only hits targets affected by your Moonfire or Sunfire.
• Glyph of One With Nature(NYI) Grants you the ability to teleport to a random natural location.
• Glyph of the Prolific Mushroom (NYI) You can now have only one Wild Mushroom active at once, but your mushroom deals 0% additional damage.

Obviously the damage percentage on mushroom is a placeholder.  It’ll allow us to drop one mushroom to burst instead of AoE.  The Starfall one I’m mixed on, because if you don’t have MF or SuF up on two targets, you’re not going to do damage with Starfall.

Your thoughts?

The post Tier 16 Model Released appeared first on Sunfyre's Nest.

• Area knockback effects now all share a diminishing return category. After a player has been moved by one of these spells, the player will be immune for 10 seconds. This new category applies to: Fellash, Gorefiend’s Grasp, Glyph of Explosive Trap, Thunderstorm, Typhoon, Ursol’s Vortex, and Whiplash.

Not being able to typhoon back into a Vortex is going to be pretty bad.  I get wanting to block class stacking knockbacks in arena, but double-tapping moonkin is just silly.

The post 5.4 — PVP Nerfs appeared first on Sunfyre's Nest.

The 2pc bonus contributes to ~2.5% overall DPS with the Soul of the Forest talent, and obviously our 4pc bonus will make SotF more attractive, as we’ll be able to swing Eclipses much faster and reduce the CA cooldown even more.  (Plus, it’ll no longer line up with incarnation).  Both of these set bonuses are geared around SotF.  I was noticing that CA was coming off cooldown ~45sec-60 seconds early with the 4pc.  This obviously will slightly devalue berserking for trolls as well as Incarnation.  It could slightly increase Nature’s Vigil though, since you’re going to be able to line up NV with more CA this way.

Soul of the Forest is a very fun talent to manage. It gives a buff called ‘Astral Insight’, which lasts for quite a long duration, giving you some flexibility when you want to pop it.  It makes Eclipse transit time very fast, and I think we’ll get to the point we won’t bother wasting a GCD on an uneclipsed DoT.

Ysera’s Gift is an interesting talent.  If you’re at 100% health, it’ll heal someone near you.  I’m not sure if this is a smart heal, and it’ll heal OTHERS at 100% health as well, which makes your combat log extremely spammy.  Also, it’ll place you in combat as it’ll heal people who are in combat.

Have you had a chance to play on the PTR?  What are your thoughts?

The post 5.4 PTR: Initial Thoughts appeared first on Sunfyre's Nest.

• Item – Druid T16 Balance 4P Bonus Every time you enter Solar or Lunar Eclipse, the cooldown of Celestial Alignment is reduced by 3 sec. 5 sec.
• Moonkin Form Shapeshift into Moonkin Form, increasing Arcane and Nature damage you deal by 10% and increasing your armor by 60%. The Druid cannot cast healing spells while shapeshifted. While in this form, you increase the spell haste of all party and raid members within 100 yards by 5%. The act of shapeshifting frees the caster of movement impairing effects. Can’t be cast in Tree of Life Form. Druid – Balance Spec. 9.3% of Base Mana. Instant.
• Nature’s Swiftness When activated, your next Cyclone, Entangling Roots, Healing Touch, Hibernate, Nourish, Rebirth, or Regrowth becomes instant, free, and castable in all forms. The healing and duration of the spell is increased by 50%. Druid – Balance & Restoration Spec. Instant. 60 sec cooldown.

We knew the 60% armor change was coming, it was the consolation for removing 15% damage reduction, but it still kind of sucks.

The 4 piece bonus change is ‘better’, but with the desync of Celestial Alignment from Incarnation, it won’t be as much of a DPS gain as we think.

The only positive note here is that we get Nature’s Swiftness back.
