A wolf in sheep’s clothing: Force of Nature
by Sunfyre on Apr.12, 2012, under Mists of Pandaria
It was reported yesterday that Force of Nature was extended from 30 seconds to 60 seconds of duration.
While that’s true, I’ve also noticed that the damage has halved per cast. (Down from 3000 to about 1500 per cast). The tooltip for the Treants’ Wrath ability also reflects the bonus damage modifier from Solar Eclipse, but it does not gain it upon an actual cast.
So, unfortunately it looks like nothing was actually gained by this change.

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?

There is one thing i did notice. They now seem to cast noticeably faster and appear to be affected by your haste.
So maybe we did gain some after all.

I believe the idea is to try and make it different from other cooldowns. So there’s Force of Nature for a long, slow burn, and there are other talents you can take that have a shorter, more concentrated effect.
