Balance Druid Playstyle and Rotation Guide

General Rotation:

1. Keep DoTs up on your priority target at all times (Moonfire & Sunfire), including Stellar Flare. Try to only refresh DoTs when in movement or when your DoTs have less than 30% of their duration left.
2. Spend Astral Power using Starsurge on Single Target and Starfall on AoE/Spread Targets. If you play with Starweaver make sure to spend it first.
3. (If specced) Try to always use your Wild Mushroom in your Incarnation: Chosen of Elune, but don't overcap on charges. With the Fungal Growth part of Wild Mushrooms, you can use Wild Mushrooms to keep Waning Twilight uptime high in AoE situations.
4. (If talented) Use Fury of Elune pretty much on cooldown, try as much as you can to use it during Primordial Arcanic Pulsar proc or during your cooldowns. Always cast Fury of Elune first, before going into pulsar or pressing your Incarnation.

Opener:

1. Wrath twice at 3 seconds left on the pull timer
2. Starfire
3. Apply Moonfire, Sunfire and Stellar Flare (if talented) to the target
4. Use Incarnation: Chosen of Elune
5. Use Starsurge as many times as you can
6. Use your New Moon and Half Moon
7. Use Starsurge
8. Use Full Moon

After this, you will want to cast wraths and spend your astral power whenever possible on Starsurge.

A small min-max you can do is to have a macro to cancel your Starlord buff and press it whenever you are above 70 astral power and you are about to spend it.

Multi Target:

1. Keep your Sunfire and Moonfire on all the targets in the pull
2. Use Starfire if there are 3 or more targets
3. Spend your Astral Power on Starfall and do not overcap on Astral Power
4. Use your Dreamstate stacks (2-set Bonus) to go into Lunar Eclipse (2x Wrath).

How to use Moons

You want to use your New, Half and Full Moons when all of these are true:

1. You are in Incarn or about to overcap on Moon stacks
2. You will not overcap on Astral Power

As a general rule you should spend your astral power as soon as you enter Incarn and use your moons right afterwards.

Playstyle

Maintain both your DoTs at 100% uptime on all targets at all costs. This is really important because of how the new mastery works and because of Waning Twilight. You want to keep as much uptime on Waning Twilight as possible.

With Solstice and Balance of all Things, the start of your eclipses will be much higher burst damage than the end, so make sure you pool some astral power for the beginning of the eclipse, but never over-cap on it.

For single target and 2 targets, you should always enter a Solar Eclipse.

For 3+ targets you want to enter a Lunar Eclipse.

It’s more damage to wrath in single target and Starfire in AoE (2+ targets).

A min-max that you can do is cancelaura Starlord when the duration is low, and you are about to spend astral power. For example, if you have 80 astral power and your previous Starlord has 3s duration left. You can always try to sync up your cancelaura when entering eclipse and spending your astral power.

It is more damage to use Starfall on 2+ targets. Starsurge only on single target, or if a priority mob needs to be bursted down.

With the new tier set being a Night Elf in dungeons is a good damage increase, Shadowmelding to get the tier set proc is very nice for a higher burst.
