Sugestion- Eclipse

#0 - Feb. 19, 2010, 4:38 p.m.

The way the talent is right now its based around a large amount of RNG, instead of it being based around crit chance why not just make it based simply on cast it would still make us cast both warth and starfire.

Simply cast x2 wrath = proc starfire eclipse
Simply cast x1 startfire = proc wrath eclipse

Even if the damage of the bonus of eclipse had to go down to adjust I personally would not be screaming and trying to strangle someone when it dosent proc in its current state for 10+ casts its very frustrating and its a core mechanic at this point. I know im not alone on this issue either.

As I've said before, the goal isn't merely to get you to use Starfire and Wrath. The goal is to have a rotation that is more than just 12121212 or even 111222111222. RNG is something we actually want. The best players should be the ones who can pay attention and react to situations, not the ones who can mash their keys the fastest (or download the most recent macros).

The biggest problems with Eclipse are:

1) It's too much of a damage increase. Here we see the problem with overbudgeted talents. The RNG wouldn't be an issue if the magnitude of those random rolls wasn't so huge.

2) It suffers too much from movement. Losing an Eclipse proc when you have to run is a problem, particularly given point 1. Now we have no problem with classes taking a dps hit when they have to move and we don't even mind of some specs pay a heavier penalty than others. But it's a problem when the delta between dps when moving and dps when not moving is so great.
