Tier 15 Balance Bonuses
by Sunfyre on Jan.10, 2013, under Gear Discussion, Mists of Pandaria
- Item – Druid T15 Balance 2P Bonus (New) Increases the critical strike chance of Starsurge by 10%.
- Item – Druid T15 Balance 4P Bonus (New) Nature’s Grace now also grants 1,000 critical strike and 1,000 mastery for its duration.
Oddly enough, the 4P bonus is probably weaker than our current 4PC, considering we get additional DoT ticks and get to reforge about 1500 mastery to crit.
What are your thoughts? I think these are much weaker than T14.

: 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?

The two-piece bonus for T15 does seem weaker than that of T14, as is likely the case for the four-piece bonuses. However, the 1000 crit and mastery rating when NG procs is pretty strong. Considering mastery only matters when we hit an eclipse (unless they’ve allowed eclipse’s bonus to update dynamically from mastery), that’s really strong. The reason mastery is considered our weakest stat is because of the up-time of eclipse, so as long as we’re not hanging out in an eclipse for long periods of time, it might as well be a straight 1000 mastery bonus, in addition to the 1000 crit.

That post was more ramble-ey than I though ti was…
TL;DR weaker than current tier; still decent

I would love to see 1000 crit + 1000 haste. That proc seems really weak for 4pc bonus. Also 2pc bonus is really boring
