So with the release of the patch and the free respec, I have begun to ponder the balance route. Spellpower will transfer over from my healing gear from when I was resto and I have been pooling some honor to upgrade my gear a little more. I have never worked with a Moonkin and only seen them in BGs or arena in terms of performance. They do damage, but I've never paid attention to how much.
I leveled to 70 as feral and enjoyed it and knew what I could take and do. I'd have to relearn that with balance and I can always respec to feral if I don't like balance. I read about people going boomkin and loving it and I figure I already better caster gear than feral gear, so why not give it a shot.
My questions are these - Damage wise, does balance put out similar damage compared to feral? I guess what I want to know is balance as quick in leveling as feral? I pretty much only quest to level, not much hard grinding. How do you boomkins do in BGs? Is the basic stratgey for balance root and nuke? Do you you use a full array of spells or only a few? (Like in resto you pretty much only spam rejuvenation and lifebloom, though there are other healing spells and feral dps you spam mangle...) I am sure I can and will find some of that info while looking around for balance info, but I am curious about current moonkins and how you play it.
If there are any good balance how to's a link is much appreciated. (I've read through some of the stickies and am looking at more from the druid resources thread.)
