Moonkin DPS Rotation Tutorial Video
by Sunfyre on Dec.30, 2010, under General
I’ve created a moonkin DPS rotation tutorial video. This is my first attempt at using my MacBook to capture the actual WoW video, and my first time editing together a video in this fashion. Enjoy!

Latest on Wed, 09:21 pmLunarbomb: To answer Boomer's question I am running the 4T13 and I find it more beneficial to use starsurge on cooldown no matter what due to the 10% damage increase and the fact that you do get the instacast procs so often that there is no reason not to take advantage of the tier bonus
Sunfyre: *groan*
Doomfowl: A Combat-log is a druid meleeing in tree form. Think about it...
Stoemp: Hey, i just got 85 on my druid and got basic balance gear and spec, got a 8k dps at the moment, and i am looking for some helpfull Addons to improve my dps. (or makes thing's easier.
Doronamo: Stopping by from wow.joystiq, thought I'd say thanks for the symbiosis list, that's awesome.
mantiss: tooltips working, nice one =]
Sunfyre: I've been trying to get the Tooltips to work. They aren't.
mantiss: you also need the jquery script, not sure what you are currently using.
mantiss: can you add this to your pages? will allow wowdb tool tips, especially useful for the new symbiosis links.
Sunfyre: I still use 4T12 heroic, since I'm only running LFR at the time -- but even now I only starsurge under Eclipse. So definitely, I would wait until Eclipse with 4T13.
Moonkin Count!

Nice and Simple, should also note that you are not
refreshing dots when you are about to proc next eclipse, my
question is, how far do you think is too far away to stop
refreshing dots and wait it out. i.e 50 energy should refresh, or
80 do not bother refreshing.

Honestly I don’t ever bother refreshing insect swarm, because of it’s high mana cost to little to no gain on your DPS. I’ll refresh Moonfire/Sunfire only when I’m going to spam it during movement (which also reduces it’s cost considerably).
December 30th, 2010 on 4:16 pm
I would like to know what add on you use for the DOT ticks in the center. Exactly what I’ve been wanting and not been searching lol
Great video, simple and effective… and no techno music!!! God I hate those…
December 30th, 2010 on 5:24 pm
Those are simply PowerAuras. I use Relevart’s Power Aura scheme, which you can find here.
I’ve only made one change, and that’s to change the innervate threshold from 80% to 45%, as I use Dreamstate.

What about in a dungeon with groups where you can’t use starfire? And do you roll fairy fire out at all?
December 31st, 2010 on 12:24 pm
I don’t bother with Faerie fire. And you can use Starfall in a dungeon if you glyph focus and you’re careful.

Might as well start using my new email!
I only refresh dots on eclipse, unless I have to move in which case I spam MF/SF until I stop moving.
I set up PA, thank you for the link! Trully helps a ton!!! I had to disable the Forte buff travker because it would cover most of the screen lol

Make sure you update your Gravatar email address!

Lol Just did!

When hitting a Lunar eclipse do you cast an extra wrath to compensate for Lunar’s slow proc?
January 1st, 2011 on 11:11 pm
I haven’t had a problem with slow procs since beta. I generally will cast until the buff though, and not neccessarily when I think the proc will occur.

Great vid! I seem to always forget my trinkets.
My question is this…your moonkin seems to have different coloring…did I miss something?

I have a few questions about your UI:
How did you make the background of the chat black? (I made the chat color option black via Lui options, but it isn’t like yours; The way you could make it black via right click on the chat options and changing the background doesn’t work either, it has no effect.
Also, The cooldown bar above your action bars, what addon is that?
January 7th, 2011 on 6:50 pm
I figured out the chat portion; just had to go into frames and what not.
February 10th, 2011 on 7:07 pm
Why do you know refresh dots everytime they are down?
February 10th, 2011 on 11:52 pm
I’d be clipping them really bad.
