5.0.5 Hotfixes
by Sunfyre on Sep.17, 2012, under Mists of Pandaria
The following hotfix was applied which affects Moonkin. I am not sure if this was a specific 5.0.5 bug because I have noticed for quite awhile (before 5.0.5) that you can no longer stack a Shooting Stars starsurge immediately following a starfire departing an eclipse for the bonus eclipsed nuke. I guess since they now fixed the eclipse lag entering an eclipse, it was only fair.
Eclipse should no longer provide bonus damage after it fades.

: 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?

You can still queued an instant SS following the final nuke of an Eclipse (as we used to cheese an extra eclipsed cast in Cata) but for a long time now (pretty much from Fae Empowerment / New Euphoria) it hasn’t benefited from eclipse; in fact they over-corrected a bit in that the final eclipse nuke wasn’t benefitting itself for a while until they fixed that too.

I forgot to say what the actual hotfix did – sometimes when you hit CA at 0 energy following a lunar it doubled dipped (as in SF buffed by both lunar and CA). It was buggy as to when it’d occur (sometimes at 0 energy, sometimes at 20 lunar, sometimes never).

Question: If SS procs during the cast of the last Wrath that would end a Solar Eclipse, will it be a substantial DPS gain to interrupt the cast to benefit from an eclipsed SS instead? Seeing how pitiful Wrath damage is, I can see the answer being ‘yes’, which would make moonkin rotation even clunkier than it already feels -in my view.
Additionally, in live right now I find that if I want to queue a SS right after a Wrath, a number of times it just will not go off. Anyone else seen this?
Thanks for the feedback.
