Two things are important to consider, first, in regards to your DoTs and eclipse states.

Moonfire Icon Moonfire's duration will be extended by 2 seconds each time yo u critically hit with Starfire Icon Starfire and Starsurge Icon Starsurge, and S unfire Icon Sunfire's duration will be extended by 2 seconds each time you criti cally hit with Wrath Icon Wrath and Starsurge Icon Starsurge. For 15 seconds after entering an eclipse state, you gain 15% spell haste. Because the duration of DoTs will vary, depending on how many critical strikes y ou score, it is not possible to set out a fixed cycle for refreshing your DoTs. However, here are some guidelines we can provide you with, that should make it e asy for you to understand: Always cast the eclipsed DoT when you enter that eclipse state (Moonfire Ico n Moonfire for Eclipse (Lunar) Icon Eclipse (Lunar), and Sunfire Icon Sunfire fo r Eclipse (Solar) Icon Eclipse (Solar)). This is because you want the DoT in que stion to benefit from the damage-bonus of the eclipse. After entering a new eclipse state, refresh the non-eclipsed DoT only when i t is about to expire. When applying or refreshing both DoTs at the same time (start of the fight, new add, DoTs expiring at the same time, etc.), it is optimal to apply the non-e clipsed DoT first, because this will grant you a stack of Lunar Shower Icon Luna r Shower, which will boost the damage of the eclipsed DoT slightly. Re-apply your DoTs if you are under the effects of powerful buffs, such as t hose gained from encounter mechanics (powerful damage increase or spell haste in crease) or from potions or other procs. 4.3. Opening Sequence Astral Communion Icon Astral Communion allows you to choose which eclipse state you want to start the fight in. We believe that it is better to start the fight within 1 Wrath Icon Wrath of Eclipse (Lunar) Icon Eclipse (Lunar). You should th en follow this opening sequence: Cast Starfall Icon Starfall. Cast Wrath Icon Wrath. Cast Incarnation: Chosen of Elune Icon Incarnation: Chosen of Elune and Natu re's Vigil Icon Nature's Vigil. Apply Moonfire Icon Moonfire and Sunfire Icon Sunfire. Cast Starfall Icon Starfall as soon as the previous Starfall runs out (its c ooldown will have been reset by entering Eclipse (Lunar) Icon Eclipse (Lunar)). Spam Starfire Icon Starfire until you reach exit Eclipse (Lunar) Icon Eclips e (Lunar). Cast Celestial Alignment Icon Celestial Alignment. Apply one of your DoTs (thanks to Celestial Alignment, the other will automa tically be applied). Cast Starfall Icon Starfall as soon as the previous Starfall runs out (its c ooldown will have been reset by Celestial Alignment Icon Celestial Alignment). Spam Starfire Icon Starfire. Re-apply both DoTs before Celestial Alignment Icon Celestial Alignment ends (so that they benefit from the damage buff). 4.4. Detailed Cooldown Usage 4.4.1. Celestial Alignment Celestial Alignment Icon Celestial Alignment provides you with burst DPS, by gra nting you bonuses to your Arcane and Nature damage dealt, as well as allowing yo u to apply both DoTs by simply casting Moonfire Icon Moonfire. It is important t o note, also, that while this cooldown is active, you do not generate any energy

and your energy bar is reset to a neutral location. Celestial Alignment should be used as many times as possible throughout the figh t. You should try to time it in such a way that it stacks with other cooldowns, procs or fight mechanics that cause targets to take increased damage. During Celestial Alignment, you should continue to cast Starsurge Icon Starsurge on cooldown, and you should spam Starfire Icon Starfire. 4.4.2. Tier 4 Talents Your Tier 4 talent of choice should be used as follows. Incarnation: Chosen of Elune Icon Incarnation: Chosen of Elune should be used as many times as possible during the encounter, but it should be used with caution . It only provides its benefit while you are in an eclipse state, or while Celes tial Alignment Icon Celestial Alignment is active. Therefore, you should not sim ply stack this with Celestial Alignment, because their durations are different. If you do that, when Celestial Alignment runs out, you will be left in no eclips e state and with 15 seconds left on Incarnation: Chosen of Elune. Instead, we re commend that you first use Incarnation: Chosen of Elune as soon as you enter an eclipse state. Then, when you exit the eclipse, you should use Celestial Alignme nt. This will ensure that very little if any of your Incarnation: Chosen of Elun e will be wasted. Force of Nature Icon Force of Nature should be used on cooldown. 4.4.3. Tier 6 Talents If you have chosen Dream of Cenarius Icon Dream of Cenarius as your tier 6 talen t, then you should regularly cast Healing Touch Icon Healing Touch (on yourself or other raid members who need the healing) to boost the damage of your next two DoTs. If you have taken Nature's Swiftness Icon Nature's Swiftness as a talent, then y ou should use this on cooldown to get instant cast Healing Touches. Moreover, yo u should be using Glyph of the Moonbeast Icon Glyph of the Moonbeast, which allo ws you to cast Healing Touch without canceling Moonkin Form Icon Moonkin Form. If you have chosen Nature's Vigil Icon Nature's Vigil as your Tier 6 talent, the n you should stack this cooldown together with Incarnation: Chosen of Elune Icon Incarnation: Chosen of Elune as well as any other cooldowns available, includin g Heroism Icon Heroism/Bloodlust Icon Bloodlust/Time Warp Icon Time Warp. In the event that you have not chosen Incarnation: Chosen of Elune, then you can stack Nature's Vigil with Celestial Alignment Icon Celestial Alignment.
