3. Rotation for Balance Affinity
Before we explain the Balance Affinity Icon Balance Affinity DPS rotation, we will need to explain how Eclipse works. Eclipse reduces the cast time of the appropriate filler by 8% and increases the damage dealt by Wrath by 20% and increases the Critical Strike chance Starfire by 20%. Every Starsurge in this window further increases this bonus by 4%. You can not enter the same Eclipse twice in a row unless you wait ~30 seconds out of combat.

The rotation itself is pretty simple so we will jump straight into it:

3.1. 1-2 Targets
Keep Moonfire and Sunfire up.
Enter available Eclipse. Prioritise Solar if possible.
Cast Starsurge on cooldown.
Cast appropriate single target spell for the Eclipse.

How do I enter an eclipse?

Thanks so much for the guide, it's been a big help!  Returning player, I can't get my Nature's swiftness + Regrowth macro to work, did macro's change?  Googled a fair bit and tried every way I could find.  They cast NS, but then not the second spell.  Anyone have a macro of the 2 spells at once variety that's confirmed to still work?
EDIT:
Tried this one and it works, idk y the others didn't.  Still a NS+Rebirth/Regrowth spell is a good macro to maybe add to the guide.  It also worked with Vuhdo btw.
Edit: I just copied the original over, but obv it's s'posed to be regrowth.

#showtooltip Nature's Swiftness

/cast Nature's Swiftness

/cast [@mouseover,help][help,nodead][@targettarget,help,nodead]Regrowth

Circle of Life and Death is not Shoulders anymore. It is head and ring only now. Might want to update the guide for that.

 I cant agree with the trinket choices at all. No way that Soulletting Ruby is higher then a B, let alone S. Changeling is obviously a S rank And why isnt Scrawled Word of Recall even mentioned; in combination with verdant infusion it is by far one of the best trinkets avaliable right now.

I think I'm missing something here. The set bonus for three unholy shards doesn't look useful for healing. 

[Guest Guest Wowanalyzer]

Thank you for the guide! re: "You should use WoWAnalyzer for more accurate stat weights." I've spent a while trying to find my weights there - are they still there in the 9.2 version? (And re: "Healer Stat Weights and WoWanalyzer will only roughly outline your weights." - afaik Healer Stat Weights is stuck at 8.2.5.)

[Guest Sayuri]

Is it normal that the trinket (Amalgam's Seventh Spine ) never dropped out of 40+ runs? I've been farming for 3 days... and I haven't seen it drop yet... what's the drop %? 0.00000000000001?... Thank you blizzard, that you can wait for several month for Legion TW and then, despite farming all day, you don't get what you were waiting... This is ridiculous

[Guest Ablex]

The AS weak aura should be first on the list! Great Guide thank you

[Guest Jerramie]

What does this mean?: I read this as "wait for 2 procs and then cast Convoke the spirits to proc incarnation as it most definately casts swiftmend. But, this does not work. How could this be interprited any other way?  

Make sure you use  Swiftmends in a way that lets you have  Incarnation: Tree of Life tier proc (from  Reforestation) with  Convoke the Spirits cast

 

[Guest Fuhenhenka-Garona]

FYI: Rashok's Molten Heart is typed/linked incorrectly in your tier list

The BIS guide is underwhelming. Just wear ilvl upgrade - the end? There are lots of choices, and a BIS on WoWhead and other places so why is my best go to place (here) just has 2 minutes worth of reading to cover it.

Easy Mode Talent tree does not have the current available talents.  It looks like Grove Guardians is moved/gone and Nourish is in its place.

[Guest Lyall]

How best to use the grove guardians please? 1 at a time, on CD or all 3 together as burst healing. Thanks

why is Clicked recommended and not Clique? Are there reasons to switch to Clicked?

[Guest macias619]

Not able to get this macro working on 10.1.7 anyone have it working

• #showtooltip Convoke the Spirits
• /cast [nochanneling] Nature's Swiftness
• /cast Convoke the Spirits
• /cqs

[Guest Keejos]

It shows balance druid set instead of resto druid set for Overall BIS. 

[Guest Kiridus]

I think it shows the S3 set (Benevolent Embersage) instead of the S4 set (Autumn Blaze). 528 Benevolent Embersage doesn't exist outside of this guide, as far as I can tell.

The talent import is still broken

[janat08 0]

Is still broken as the patch hit. will not import the raid talents with 4 and 23 points left.

[Guest Adolo]

You can't use Duskthead Lining on Wader of the Unifying Flame. However, you can put it on Rune-Branded Kickers.

[Guest Guest]

In most places (I want to say all, but could've missed some), the guide links/tooltips to Nature's Swiftness, it links the Shaman's Nature's Swiftness (378081) and not the Druid's version (132158)

[Guest Guest]

Hey folks, the hero talent section mentions:

"Keeper of the Grove is the strongest Hero Talent for all scenarios in raids. It provides the most steady healing, the most passive damage, and, more importantly, by far the most burst healing. It also has better defensive nodes."

Yet both "raid" builds in the builds and talents section are wildstalker and the talent description even mentions:

"Mythic+ specs will pick Grove Guardians. Raid specs can skip this, considering we are playing wildstalker."

Is there any reason for this inconsistency, or is it just a case of some sections not being updated for the current patch (11.2)?.

Are we sure its not Argentleaf Tea instead of Sanguithorn Tea for the movement speed? Maybe it changed?
