My moonkin can do decent to high dps on most of the other bosses of Ulduar....but I seem to have trouble on Hodir.
I'm aware of stacking the buffs and I try to do that...but it seems that half my time is taken up by just trying to run to whomever has the skull over their head (because inevitably, it's never on one of the caster dps who are grouped up together already).
The other half is taken up by just trying to jump to get that debuff off me.
Plus, I have a tendency to cut my cast timer off and I lose the spell I was casting. I really hate this fight.
Anyways...are there any boomkins here who can help me get my feathered tail situated with a better way of getting everything together so that I can max out my dps on this fight?
As it is right now, I cast my instants (mf, is, typhoon, and sf) whenever I move and when I am in the beam and have the skull, I try to shoot out starfire while allowing only 2 stacks of the debuff on me.

Biggest thing is to stand near one of the fires. That way you don't have to worry about jumping/moving at all. If you can do that and get the crit buff or stand in the light (or all 3!) then that is a bonus, but not having to move means you can chain your spells together much better and get more casts off in a short amount of time.
If you do have to move then move back or forward a tiny bit instead of jumping - the jump takes about a second where moving a touch takes much less time. We tend to get the person with the buff to move to people where possible. One person not dpsing running around is much better than 10 DPS not dpsing running around trying to get the buff.

It's really hard to go from "good" dps to "amazing" dps on Hodir. It's very easy to go from "good" dps to "bad" dps.
I've found the most effective thing is to just stand next to the fire and don't worry about the rest until you know the rest of the fight.

Don't ever do that ever again.
That person should be running around giving it to others not people running at them.

I like how you had all that and no "Cuddle with Fire" - we men have our limits, amirite?
Please "talk up" if your comprehension white-shifts. I will use simple-happy language-words to help you understand.

How is "Caress Fire" less ****-erotic than "Cuddle with Fire"?

Well, a man can "Caress Fire" dominatingly from behind right before slamming it up against the counters of the kitchen and humping it. No problem at all.
He just won't cuddle with it afterwards...

How this went from "how not to suck on a game" to "dominate from behind/kitchen humping" is well beyond me.
Back on topic, get your tank to put Hodir back near a fire so the melee can benefit from it too. It can get messy with too much ppl near each other and those things that fall, but all you need is someone that isnt blind.

It's a thread in the druid forums!
But it needs something about drinking to be official IMO :p

When I find fire, I just start humping it. I don't see where this "getting drunk" part is necessary.
Fire comes to me like... Well... Like a moth to fire.

When is getting drunk not necessary?

Totally! Who wouldn't want a good beer and a little fire?

Thanks for the help all. Our Raid leader let us casters all stand by the fires this time and we one shot Hodir Hard Mode last night! And I was second from top in dps. :)
