Moonkin Form, Moonfury, Eclipse, Nature's Grace, Vengeance, Improved Starfire, Insect Swarm and Genesis with Naturalist, Reflection, Subtlety and Gift of Nature.

Rotation and priority

  1. Mark of the Wild, Moonkin Form
  2. Insect Swarm and Moonfire on the target
  3. Wrath when the Eclipse bonus favours Wrath (or no proc is up)
  4. Starfire when the Eclipse bonus favours Starfire
  5. Refresh Moonfire and Insect Swarm as they fall
  6. Innervate at half mana

Tips

  • Nature's Grace after a crit makes the next Starfire fast: Starfire follows every crit.
  • Genesis raises every periodic effect, including your healer's if you took the Restoration points.
  • Hurricane is the AoE; it is a channel, so position first.
