Shooting Stars behavior post hotfix
by Sunfyre on Dec.03, 2010, under Cataclysm
Usually I just tack on updates to the bottom of posts, but I wanted to make sure everyone saw this as there may be some initial confusion (as there was for me).
After the hotfix, Shooting Stars will not be consumed while currently casting starsurge. The behavior IS a little but funky though. If shooting stars procs while you’re casting Starsurge, you’ll briefly notice the countdown on Starsurge start, then reset and the proc aura will light back up. There’s about a half second delay, so if you start seeing your countdown rolling, don’t panic! =)

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?

Nice…I have been a bit confused by how this has been working. Seems everytime I’m in the middle of a cast it lights up!

The way it works is that Starsurge goes on cooldown while the spell effect is in the air; when the hard-cast Starsurge hits, then the cooldown is reset, and can be cast through Shooting Stars.
