One week later… 1000 views
by Sunfyre on Sep.26, 2009, under General
I’m not going to keep updating whenever another 500 people keep viewing, but 3 weeks ago when I started writing, I never thought anyone would bother reading, and I’ve been tracking views for a week now, and as of today we’ve broken 1000 views. I said earlier I had planned on a small surprise for a few people, and there’s two which I’ve offered them to. Both Lenwë and Xiera have commented on multiple posts of my blog, and I’ve given them both @owlkin.org e-mail addresses. I know a lot of you have come here via Google or other search engines. If there’s anything you’d like me to enhance upon, please let me know via comment or e-mail!

Latest on Mon, 08:03 pm: When you hit 0 energy, in 5.1, you'd go to 20 energy. + 40 energy from one cast to 60 energy, + 40 energy from cast #2, that's 100 energy. Now you go from 0 energy to 40 energy. Cast #1 brings you to 80. Cast #2 is still required, and it brings you to 100 energy (which is really 120 but you get nothing for that extra energy). The amount of casts did not change. 2.
: Wait, what you just said doesn't make sense. What makes us go straight to 20 energy? With SotF it takes 2 casts to reach lunar. 2 casts to reach solar. Without SotF it takes 3, correct me if i'm wrong.
: Sorry, I don't understand where your getting the 20 from, 100 80 60 40 20 0 40 80 100 or sotf 100 80 60 40 20 0 (40 sf + 40 sotf) 80 120 ??
: Hi sunfyre, how would you say the 4p t15 will be with SoTF? Does that also maybe make mastery more valuable?
: Hey Sunfyre. I'm trying to wrap my head around what you've been saying about SotF. How exactly does it not reduce Starfire casts by 1?
: Started a Druid....3 days ago or something like that.... Anyways i got to lvl 60 and im not using gear SETS so much as im using the things that look especially helpful such as Int and Spir Stacke, Occasionally with some 14-15 haste involved..... Im not one of those guys who go out and get the best pve/pvp gear But i really need some help..... im a resto balance mix and well my hits are only doing about 5K at lvl 60 :/ what sohuld i do?
: Hi Sunfyre! Have you tried SotF+NV/HoTW vs Inv+NV/HoTW on PTR? If not, will you do this?

Well, I don’t know if you do PvP or not, but I am having trouble finding Moonkin PvP guides or strategies or builds, etc. I know we are not the best at PvP, and I know we have the right tools to be one of the best if we were not so gimped, but I still enjoy PvPing as Moonkin. So, yeah, if you do any PvP as Moonkin, some coverage on that would be nice.
BTW, I was linked over from Moonkin.info… in case you wanted to know
Both of your Blogs are my fav source of Moonkin info, sadly both lack up to date PvP coverage

I’ve been unimpressed with moonkin PVP ever since arenas came out, but I think I might have to dabble a bit.

Wow. Firstly, I’m just blown away right now. I enjoy helping the moonkin community, but never expected to actually be recognised for it. Thanks for the shout-out and thanks for writing this blog — a lot of good info here.
My guild isn’t quite as elite as yours and others, so reading up about your experiences in these fights before I see them will continue to be beneficial for me and my guild. (We’re 12/14 Uld and 5/5 ToC, but haven’t downed any HMs on 25-man yet.)
As for PvP, do you mean arenas or battlegrounds? Battlegrounds are pretty much “stay with the group, pewpew, and don’t die”, while arenas are much more strategy-dependent and rely heavily on group makeup. It’d be difficult to write a guide for every combination of people you play with and against. I think most moonkins go “restokin” for arenas.

Yeah, I was kinda vague in my PvP petition lol I’ll have to look restokin up then.
I mainly do WG, which is more BG than Arena. I might dabble in Arena with some friends, but I don’t think they like the idea of me going in as Moonkin
Our PvP survivability really needs to be looked at… unless it’s at the expense of PvE, then no.

They’ve made some recent changes to Typhoon and Moonkin Form/reduced stun damage… my PERSONAL philosophy when I do WG or BGs is to get a healer and nuke in full PvE gear. I usually top killing blows/damage done without much effort.

Yeah, I think thats what is best. I switched out my Resto spec for Restokin, def lasting longer in WG, it took quite a few to get me down, but still, all I could do was keep moving and heal. I guess that’s the main PvP problem a Moonkin suffers, when they get on you, there is no real means to escape. It would be nice if they could give us an AoE Root. We control Nature, why can’t we do something like that? Restokin seems to work great for Arena, and medicore for BGs, but I still need to learn to play it. But an AoE root would be a great way to give us a bit more survivability in PvP. I dunno, sometimes I get frustrated and feel like I should lvl a Hunter lol

Travel Form, using instant HoTs to auto-unshift and then back into Travel Form. You’d be surprised how long people will chase you without switching targets. Also, make yourself a couple macros:
/cast !Moonkin Form
and
/cast !Travel Form
Chains of Ice? *uses the macro* What Chains of Ice?
