3.3.3: Lightning Shield proc’s instability
by Sunfyre on Mar.23, 2010, under General
Lightning Shield now procs charges of [spell]69766[/spell] in the Sindragosa encounter. This is really bad on heroic. Not sure if it’s an intended change or not.

Latest on Mon, 08:03 pmSunfyre: 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.
gore: 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.
S: 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 ??
Madnz: Hi sunfyre, how would you say the 4p t15 will be with SoTF? Does that also maybe make mastery more valuable?
Sunfyre: You already go 20-Lunar, 60, 100. Going 40-80-100(120) is the same amount of casts to hit 100.
Cohumulone: 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?
Braeden: 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?
Sunfyre: SoTF wasn't much of a buff. It didn't reduce starfire casts to lunar, and only reduced wrath casts by potentially one. I'd stick with incarnation.
Yazgot: Hi Sunfyre! Have you tried SotF+NV/HoTW vs Inv+NV/HoTW on PTR? If not, will you do this?
Sunfyre: Light of the Cosmos is our best in slot. You should be able to reforge a lot of haste into crit once you get it, since it'll give you about an additional 1000 haste.
Moonkin Count!

Shaman blog?
March 24th, 2010 on 5:53 am
No, more of a “tell your dumbass shaman so they don’t end up wiping you multiple times”
March 24th, 2010 on 10:05 am
No, i mean, its just totally random to post something like that on a site concerning moonkins..
March 24th, 2010 on 10:41 am
his blog he can post what he wants
March 24th, 2010 on 11:11 am
It’s not really random when you realize that the goal of this blog is to be an end game moonkin blog. The lightning shield proc to instability is under reported. I haven’t seen it carried on the WoW Raid forums or MMO Champion, and it can easily wipe your raid on heroic Sindragosa. This information is vital to pass on to elemental shaman who may be using lightning shield for extra DPS on the fight.

If its not in or contradict Wrathcalcs, Qieth Does not approve! <3
March 25th, 2010 on 6:57 am
Yes yes, its his site, he can do whatever he wants. I just found it extremely random. How about the changes to Life Tap? Is that not also really important for moonkins to know, so they can check if their warlocks has noticed it?
March 25th, 2010 on 7:12 am
Except that glyph of lifetap won’t wipe your raid. This will in phase 3 heroic sindragosa, and hasn’t been well discussed.

on the slight OT of this OT, they reskinned the Sanctified boomkin helm, its all purply like the rest of the set too!
March 25th, 2010 on 9:44 am
in fact i think they redid all the druid helms with new colors, the 251 helm isnt the same colour as before.
March 25th, 2010 on 10:05 am
The 277 Sanctified helm has a green gem in the middle where the 264 helm had purple. The green gem gives a purple glow though which is odd.
