Hey!
For some time now I've been wanting to add a balance druid to my compositions. They're my favorite class & spec, but I've never been able to effectively handle eclipse-procs with my setup. So, here I am, asking for your help and input. A brainstorm, of sorts. :)
How do you deal with Eclipse-procs (mainly in PvE, I suppose)?
Some time ago I attempted an Action Bar-swap-keymap. In short, I made a keymap that allowed me to switch the actionbars on the druid whenever eclipse procced - one for lunar, one for solar. Kinda worked, but was a huge pain in the *** to track and manage. And I only tested it in dungeons. I'd imagine it being a nightmare in raids.
I've yet to try two separate DPS-hotkeys, which could work. One with DoTs+Wrath and one with DoTs+Starfall. It would then be /click-macros, so the DoTs doesnt refresh every time I switch hotkey. The challenge here is me being kinda... bad, so I often rely on one hotkey for tanking, and one for dps. So I effectively spam two buttons, with the occational third/fourth when AoE or buffs (Bloodlust, etc) is needed. In another thread I was advised to start using more hotkeys, and I'm working on it. :P
Another thing I've been meaning to test is playing from the druid itself, and thus handle the rotation myself - without the need for (many/advanced) macros, keymaps or dibbledabble. I've always played from the tank-PoV, so it would be a huge challenge. Might be worth it tho.
So those are my thoughts. Anyone else have any tips and/or tricks to share?
