Tier 13 Set Bonuses Released!
by Sunfyre on Sep.24, 2011, under Gear Discussion, General
Here are the balance druid set bonuses for tier 13:
- 2P: Insect Swarm increases all damage done by your Starfire, Starsurge, and Wrath spells against that target by 3%.
- 4P: Starsurge generates 100% extra Lunar or Solar energy while Eclipse is not active.
While the 2pc is a decent bonus, the 4pc underhelms me, especially against the 4pc T12 bonus. To get the extra 15 energy, we’d have to sacrifice the extra damage from Starsurge. The only way I can see this being great is if we get lucky with Shooting Stars procs, but that’s going to throw our timing way off.
Your opinions?

Latest on Wed, 09:21 pm: 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

2pc HC t12 and 2pc t13 will probably be the way to go. for a while untill the t13 HC items outweigh the bonus in stats.

I don’t see the 4p surviving till live. Lets hope they come up with something a little more… useful.

The moonkin 4-piece is bad and won’t work with our rotation. We’ll probably be better off itemizing with off-set pieces that have better stat allocations than using the 4-piece T13.
