4.0.3 Live: Balance Druid Rotation Updated
by Sunfyre on Nov.16, 2010, under Cataclysm
With 4.0.3 going live today, I have updated the balance druid rotation page. You can find it in the list of pages to the right.
With Sunfire now ticking properly, you will want to cast Insect Swarm before Sunfire while in Solar Eclipse (and of course before Moonfire in Lunar Eclipse). After extensive testing on PTRs, it looks like Sunfire on average does much more damage per tick then insect swarm, thus we’ll want that DoT to be hasted.

Latest on Mon, 10:14 am: Not really, but treants get worse.
: Hey Sunfyre. I get the legendary Meta soon. Does anything Major change when i get to gem? Statweights, Playstyle. thx
: 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?

It doesn’t.

Sunfire > IS (Solar Eclispe)
Moonfire > IS (Lunar Eclipse)
This is the new rotation right for each eclipse? Just to clarify.

You do insect swarm first in both Eclipses.

That’s a bad rotation to use. Use an actual DPS rotation.
