Moonkin how I love theeFollow

I respecced for the first time to a full Balance spec with something like 47/0/14 - and I must say it is so much fun. Last night while doing my daily quests in Netherwing I was actually laughing aloud at how quick those beasts in the cave were going down. I mean the starfire -> moonfire -> wrath would sometimes have them dead in a matter of 3 seconds.

After finishing my dailies I decided to try out some PVP (I was resto till now) and lo and behold I looked at my armor and saw 11,100 and just shook my head with a smile on my face. I've heard of the saying "Mage with Plate" but never realized what they meant till this moment.

If you haven't tried it yet - give it a shot, it's a Blast.

As a side note - I have a 70 lock and priest also, seeing those 3000 or 3200 starfire hit consistently was just plain out and out fun. Best I've gotten on my lock for shadowbolt crit was 2800 and that is a rare thing.

I remember watching a friend play his lock. He was fighting curator and got 4 28K SB crits in a row.(evocation of course) Sick. (full T6 btw)

that must be a typo, 28 000??

I killed a 69 horde Moonkin twice today at BG. And I'm a 68 feral druid.
But I will agree that it was his own fault, he was a freacking bad player.

Ok, with that vented, Moonkins are great indeed. Have some at my guild, and love them.

I must admit, I am feral and love going up against moonkins, they are really pretty easy kills for feral.

Wow. 28k? Not 18k maybe? My best is 15k+ and my normal ones hit for around 7.2k (in raids of course). The nice part is seeing 33k + CoDs on Curator or Spite :D

Edit: Oh yeah - regarding Boomkins. Like someone said above - wait til you see 4k+ crits in raids and I can easily see someone getting 12k crits on Curator with a good group make up. Even in my crappy gear I can hit 10k crits there.

Oh yes, being a Moonkin during the Curator fight is big fun. First time I ever fought him, I scored my first 7k Wrath crit. Last time I fought him, I scored my first string of 5 such crits in a row. It were big fun.

Also fun is scoring those massive Starfire crits on a flare and having a good few seconds to regen mana between the death of that flare and the spawning of the next one.

If your having a lot of trouble as a moonkin against feral druids you need to use hibernate/cyclone better.

Not to mention even if he does happen to get a hibernate off the moment he attacks you it is gone, and cyclone stops you, but makes you invincible too, so you won't take damage there, those 2 things only prevent the inevitable beatdown by the feral.

Cyclone and then start casting starfire, so it lands' right when the cyclone is over is a pretty nice combo. It's just not nearly enough to beat through my massive amounts of hitpoints in bear form :D
