How you play Balance Druid

Build Astral Power with your spells, then spend it on falling stars while Eclipse is up.

Your buttons, most important first

  1. Your big moment: Celestial Alignment (or Incarnation: Chosen of Elune). Stack your other cooldowns and trinkets with it.
  2. Keep Moonfire and Sunfire on the target. Renew them before Eclipse, not during it.
  3. Press Eclipse when you have Astral Power saved up. Don't let its charges sit full.
  4. Spend Astral Power on Starsurge before the bar is full.
  5. Nothing else to do? Wrath.
More enemies: Spread Moonfire first, Sunfire once they are grouped. Then Starfall instead of Starsurge, Starfire instead of Wrath.
Biggest mistake: Letting Astral Power fill up. Spend it before the bar is full, even outside Eclipse.

Hero talents

Elune's Chosen: you can only enter Lunar Eclipse. Fill with Starfire. Press Fury of Elune inside Eclipse, as soon as it is ready.
Keeper of the Grove: Force of Nature right before Eclipse or Celestial Alignment. It also puts Moonfire on the target.

From your group: debuffs you can remove

In the game this card knows your character. Every button shows the key it is on for you right now, the lists above drop whatever you have not learned, and your bags are checked for the consumables.
