Whats your Balance DPS?Follow

I gave a little check on your armory and theres no reason your dps should be the same as mine. Whats your rotation? How do you usually play your moonkin?
One thing I noticed is that your trinkets are not the ideal, but maybe you are used to them, I dunno. I like the ones that give SP each time we cast, like Illustration of Dragon Soul and Eye of Broodmother. The one from Anub is quite OP too.
How much crit/hit/haste/sp do you have?

Get rid of that spell pen gem.

Otherwise someone else is likely better qualified.

I am no Boomkin genius by any means. Arex can help more but here is my 2 cents:

First thing, your shoulder enchant. Work on your Sons of Hodir rep and get it to exalted. Second thing is Trinkets. I don't know much about the quill but I know that the talisman isn't great for Boomkins. And finally your offhand. Try to get the offhand from either 10 or 25 man ToC or even the off hand that drops in H HoR. That's all I can see other then your gems. Change those +20 spirit into +12 spell power +10 spirit. I believe they are purple but I may be wrong.

There are some discussion about it right now, but even so it shouldnt be the main problem in his deeps.

- Change head gem to 23 Spell Power.

- Use the Purple gem (spirit + spell power) on chest + red gem.

- Change Leg gem for a purple one too (now you are done with the 2 blue gems needed. fill all the rest with +23 red gem).

- You're a NElf so you probably only need 232 hit rating if you raid 25s.

- Change the trinkets.

- Graylo (one of the top moonkins out there) has a very good equipment list. You can base yours on it.

- I dont see the Spell Penetrarion gem that some are talking about. Maybe you had your pvp set on.

- Change shoulder enchantment.

- You need 400 haste. You only have 314 right now (on armory at least).

- Consider changing the glove enchantment for spell power. After soft cap, haste is only usefull for SF.

- Consider changing your of-hand for one that has more stats on it. One with haste + crit would do wonders for you right now.

That's about all I can say. Even though, I dont think this is enough to have you doing the deeps I do, while I have lesser equipment than you.

The real Arex symbol is a boomkin holding a bottle of whisky. Much like the bottle of Jameson I got from my Christmas Party last night!

Anywho... Sorry for not posting for the last week, school + work + school + drinking + gf gone for the weekend + mass wow time = not a whole lot of posting.

Shall we begin?

Helm - Change gem to 12sp/10 spirit
Shoulders - Need the best shoulder enchant from hodir, not the welfare one gotta take care of that.
Legs - You need the leg enchant that has sp/spirit. Also put in the 12sp/10 spirit gem.
Trinkets - I don't really like your choice of trinkets. They're all lackluster on dps. Especially int and an on use. Go for the abyssal rune from 5 man TOC heroic. Or just pick up the sundial from the emblem vendors.



Change this immediately. Do not macro them together. You use your gloves right as you proc your lunar eclipse, not with starfall.

For the way you start up do this. Target the boss, queue up treants, about 1 second before combat starts open up treants near the boss, spam your FF key and then hit starfall followed by MF and IS and into your starting wrath string. This might help.

Get squawkandawe if you dont have it to track your dots. Don't over write them, let them fall off and then reapply them.

Haste soft cap is 401 rating. You want to be exactly at that, you get more it doesn't hurt but it's not near as beneficial after 401.

Ultimately I think your single target dps outside of a raid is low. Once you get some different trinkets that have spell power on them with a proc or just have ramp ups like eye of the broodmother you'll see some pretty good jumps in your dps. Practice your rotations on target dummies. It will really really really help when fights get movement heavy.

Also just remember, boomkins are really hindered because of eclipse. You're not gonna top dps, let me rephrase that. You won't top it very often unless you're in a tank and spank with 0 movement involved and you get the best eclipse procs back to back like you've ever seen.

You're on the right track just need to refine it a little bit.

That. And the part I say "if you raid 25s" its because you have more chance to be grouped with a Draenei in 25s than on 10s or 5s...

In my head its like "230 something. meh, as long its between 230 and 240 is just fine.". And, honestly, 232 or 236 is pretty much the same. 5 raids logged with 232 and 0 miss, so...

I bolded this for a reason.

Hit cap is based upon the mobs level. If the mob is 83, which is what all raid bosses are you will need 17% to hit them.

If the mob is only level 80, which is the case in all heroics you only need 4%.

You get that 4% from Balance of Power, hence if you just do heroics you don't even need hit gear.
