Day 2 MoP Round-Up
by Sunfyre on Mar.23, 2012, under Mists of Pandaria
Another exciting day of discoveries in Pandaria. I’m still waiting for my beta key. *grump*. The biggest revelation is the symbiosis assignments. An entire post devoted to that can be found below.
- Hamlet has derived the spell power coefficient for Force of Nature. It is much better than the current values:
- Base damage = 475 average (450-500 range)
- Spellpower scaling = 0.2552
- Multiple sources have also verified that true to the new tooltip, Wrath now gives 15 energy, and not the 13/13/14 energy it currently gives.
- Celestial Alignment also seems to preserve the initial ‘Eclipse alignment’ when it expires. If you cast celestial alignment after a wipe, when you’re at 0 energy, for example, you can use Wrath or Starfire once Celestial Alignment is over to push the energy in the direction desired. Conversely, if you cast celestial alignment immediately after Lunar Eclipse expires, it’ll point towards Wrath afterwards.
- Sunfire remains on your toolbar until Lunar Eclipse is achieved. It does not return to Moonfire as soon as Solar Eclipse expires.
- Starsurge extends DoT duration while in Eclipse. It’ll only extend the associated Eclipse’s DoT.
- Lissanna reports that the Incarnation mechanic differs from that in the Talent Calculator
- It now currently doubles Eclipse energy spent/gained, whether in or out of Eclipse.
- Casting Wrath always consumes or gives 30 Energy, Starfire gives 40 energy
- This is preferred because it gives near 100% DoT uptime, and transitioning to each Eclipse is now more important then lingering in one.
- Especially since Starfall refreshes every Lunar Eclipse.
- Lissanna also reported that the Glyphed Tree of Life is the Treant graphic from Burning Crusade, not the Cataclysm tree.

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?

I am actually assuming that the moonkin incarnation is just bugged and not working correctly.

edit: then again, the actual text on the talent tooltip changed, so maybe that IS intentional. I was in a hurry earlier today.

Hamlet is also pretty sure they made this change on purpose.
