IF Moonfire turns to Sunfire on Wrath part of the sequence, it keeps firing and wont pass to next spell. If i change "Moonfire" to "Sunfire" it wont do anything, since its not a spell. If i use /click or /cast under the sequence it does the same things. Maybe its the macro.

I dunno much about Druids, but make sure you have read this:

Druids

Eclipse


This is a new mechanic being added for Balance druids. The resource is managed through a new bar near the health and mana bars. As the druid casts Arcane spells, the bar moves towards the sun element until the druid achieves a Solar Eclipse, which buffs Nature damage. The goal is then to cast Nature spells, until the bar moves toward the moon element, which triggers a Lunar Eclipse and buffs Arcane damage. The gameplay becomes trying to quickly move the bar from one end to the other in order to maximize each Eclipse buff.




Sorry if you know this already, just trying to help.

This is a known issue, and unfortunately there is currently no way around it :(

You need to take moonfire out of the castsequence for now until they fix it.

The way I got around this was to have the 2 action bars identical in terms of spells except for Action button 4 which would be wrath on ActionBar1 and starfire on ActionBar2, Moonfire/Sunfire is on button 2. Then rather than using an in-game macro I set up a round robin in ISBoxer to send the keypresses to the Druid slave like 2, 3, 4, 4, 5, 4, 4, 5, 4, 4, 5 (rotate). When Jamba informs me the druid has proc'ed either solar or lunar eclipse I send a mapped key to rotate the actionbars (Shift-1 for solar, Shift-2 for lunar). I also created a ClickBar in ISBoxer with a sun and moon symbol as a button which achieves the same thing.

Works amazingly well! In fact I prefer this method to using an in-game /castsequence macro. Therefore on my Master I can spam 1 key to perform the druid slave rotation.

All i can think with this talent is to; run around like crazy and dot every mob or player(if pvp) around you with moonfire and maybe with IS also for your taste, taking advantage of the starsurge procs...

With this type of rotation the talent may give some amount of extra dps and a good mana efficiency. That may be a very good and viable way of solo pve or pvp but thinking through a multiboxer perspective it should be insanely hard if not impossible to setup such a rotation. I considered this and decided it will not worth the effort...

Therefore i respecced, allocating the 4 points somewhere else and got rid of the problem forever.
