Dealing with Eclipse to increase Moonkin dps

[Mokoi]

What I realy lack is a shaman who gives my team the heroism buff, which would increase boss dps quite a lot, but for this I would have to level and gear my lvl70 shaman and replace my 2000sp-holy-priest, which currently I don'T see me doing.

So dump your frost mage for an elemental shaman. Boosts the boomkins DPS (which the frost mage doesn't in SP) as well.

The SP your other casters get as well as your healer, well outweighs the extra DPS your mage MIGHT do over an elemental shaman.

I see your point with the +5 crit debuff though, I use my dest lock for that and I sure would miss it.

Totem of Wrath also applies a crit debuff, and does not fall off when the mage is CCd or otherwise unable to reapply. Also, it is applied before the fight starts, and does not require several casts to gain full benefit, very useful for bosses where burning him down asap is a problem.. and lets not forget.. shamans have Heroism, Ankh, Heals, Totems, resses, etc etc.

For real Fur? I'm guessing the improved shadow bolt for warlocks does too then?

Honestly, I've been thinking about dropping my boomkin, all the hassle to keep his DPS up is just not worth it in my opinion, was thinking about moving him to my shaman group to replace my resto shaman for heals but if what you say is true I might just drop him altogether.

It appears that the Mage +crit debuff actually STACKS with Totem of Wrath

Well for the crit debuffs I think there are 2 stackable category:
1. +5 crit debuff: via mage or lock
2. +3 crit debuff via Totem or Paladin (Heart of the Crusader)

In my current team the nage provides the +5 crit debuff the paladin the +3 one.

As I said, yes I think a shaman would improve my dps quite a lot, but currently I simple don't see me leveling (and gearing) him, as my time is a littlebit limited.

And I know, the best option would be to level and gear my shaman and retire my hunter.
But since my hunter is my first char ever, the first char I raided MC, BWL with and I real would miss him, wehn he isn't arround, I simply don't want to drop him...
..so I guess for me its simply a choice, what I like to do and what not, rather than doing the min-maxing to the extreme...

I agree with Fursphere, there's way too much utility to pass over a boomkin. I knew out of the gate that a boomkin may not be the most uberst of uber DPS, but the utility she brings more than makes up for it. Not to mention she has actual AOE when she needs it and a massive AOE heal when things go to hell.

I just deleted my MSBT config and made a video from scratch on how easy it is to setup party damage done and procs for individual toons of your group. I hope this video is at least somewhat helpful.

Interesting.

Now how do you tell the difference between a Lunar Ecplise, and a Solar Eclipse? Proculas at least sees them as two different procced abilities.

You can use spell ID to seperate different Eclipse procs, Wrath buff #48517 and Starfire buff #48518.

But i just spam wrath -> eclipse -> change to starfire -> eclipse -> change to wrath.... I don't really need to observe which buff is active. Less micromanagement.
