Moonfire + Trash + Mangle for now. New cool talents coming next patch with a new laser.
Like above it is sadly impossible to cast sunfire / starsurge. That is why the Druid left tree is sobadly designed imo. Tons of talents not working at all depending on your spec.
I can’t even. Some of you are down right mentally deficient. Like for real though, how do you get through life like this? This is a serious question. Seek help
The thought was that while I’m range, toss out a sun fire, pop to bear and begin. I obviously worded wrong. Didn’t mean to cast while tanking or in melee range.
I was wrong for the way I asked and apologize. It does seem that before engaging you can sunfire, this is pretty much what I was asking?
Kind of depends on the size/type of the pack and the encounter difficulty. If it’s a rather large pack that can be CC’d (AoE stun, Ursol’s, Typhoon) making it save to get a quick sunfire in, it’s quite a nice dps increase for 2-3 globals (sunfire → bear form. Potentially first swapping to moonkin to keep some extra armor just in case). You could also do the pull with Sunfire, like you said.
I used to use sunfire quite often like this, same with Ursol’s into convoke (now I prefer a bit of extra defense, so no more convoke). But running keys around 15+ and upwards, there are quite a few of nasty abilities around, so I just feel safer in bear . But if you know the dungeon well, I think pressing sunfire now and then will help you clear it quicker and thus help with timing. But being alive is obviously your first priority, so don’t get caught out of bearform by a random tankbuster.
EDIT: On Hirja fight in HoV, during the holy phase, swapping moonkin and laying out sunfire and starsurge seems like a good thing. Atleast that’s what I do, can’t be up close anyways.
Funnily enough you don’t actually press moonfire that much with the arcane build. You let GG proc off itself, and only manually cast if it’s about to drop off, or on ST fights with RotS up. Otherwise it’s maul/mangle/thrash/swipe/ IF as usual.
