There’s a big problem with the Eclipse rune currently. Starfire is completely worthless because of Starsurge and the Dreamstate rune.
With Starsurge generating 2 stacks of eclipse, and Dreamstate increasing Wrath’s damage by 20%, there is no reason to cast Starfire. The whole point of Eclipse is that you’re supposed to shift between casting Wrath and Starfire and currently you don’t.
Here’s how you fix it:
-
Remove Starsurge’s interaction with Eclipse completely, as that removes the need to shift between casting Wrath and Starfire.
-
Rework Dreamstate (make it benefit Starfire somehow), otherwise Starfire does less damage than Wrath on average due to having it + crit from eclipse + reduced cast time from talents.
-
Make Eclipse stack in intensity and increase the casting reduction it provides to Starfire.
As it stands right now it’s a boring rune that is all over the place and it benefits Starsurge the most, a spell that was already OP in PvP.
You dont need to act like you are trying to help the class design while all you are doing is asking a heavy nerf and unplayable class especially in pvp. Take away starsurge interaction from that rune and u get a clown of a class trying to cast a 3 sec cast time spell and hitting absolutely like a wet noodle where every other caster is hitting way over 1k+ with their instants WHILE having a ton of defensive abilities. So yeah cut the crap mate and just start a new thread named ‘NeRf bOOmkİNs’ and do us all a favor.

Judging from the content of your post I would say the same thing for you. You are literally ‘whining’ that our lvl 34 ranked 3.5 second cast time spell is kinda feels useless. Which shouldnt even be in the game in the first place. Starsurge is single handedly our only reedeming quality and even then without any extra crit chance that spell wouldnt be enough to save us and finally blizzard actually gave us that missing extra crit chance from a rune and you are whining that it takes away from you STARFIRE casting fetish? like what is wrong with you
No, I am not whining.
If you knew how Eclipse works in every other version of the game, you’d feel off about the SoD version of it as well. But clearly you’re ignoring that and trying to focus on the fact that I mentioned just how broken Starsurge is in PvP and that it doesn’t need a boost there.
However my point was that, while Eclipse currently gives a boost to both Wrath and Starfire, there isn’t actually any point in using Starfire in PvE, which goes against the whole point of Eclipse as a mechanic.
So, it’s okay if you have a fetish for spamming Wrath, but try to keep it to yourself please. You sound clueless.
You are just a clueless retail player and you have no place in this game. Go back to retail and play with the ‘modern’ eclipse there. They are trying to balance the game between 2 aspects of the game which is pvp and pve and you are ignoring one of them completely because it doesnt suit ur gameplay. Before you start with the mindless starsurge is OP talks I suggest you go and check elemental shamans, mages and especially shadow priests (only listing casters here melee burst is another topic). 2004 starfire is an abomination of a spell and has no place in the game unless its completely re designed. This is not retail so dont expect same mechanics from runes. This is still classic but with improvements that is designed to make players feel more OP.
Lol okay
Post must be at least 10 characters
It’s bugged, the 70% no spell knockback chance is not working.

Lol who cares about starfire?
Maybe clowns like you have no place in this game. If you are so stubborn about change then play Era and not a classic version that uses retail talents as runes.
