There is a problem that I have been thinking heavily about the last few weeks. It's a simple question, one that all players have their own take on. Put simply, what properties seperate the good Moonkin from the bad, or for that matter the good from the great? On top of that, why is this currently preying on my mind?

Gday all. I know I've been quiet lately, but that's because I just can't seem to find the time to finish the couple of posts that I've been working through about Addons and Macros. I am still here! Just being thoughtful.
I've also started work on a project that goes along the lines of wow-heroes and /spit Gearscore. It will however be Moonkin-specific because Moonkin is what I know, and I really don't want to see another site that just counts the gear levels. More info on this as it happens.
This is why I've been a bit quiet of late though, between moving the website around and working on the top secret Moonkin project above and raiding my evenings just disappear!
On a personal note I just went past the 8000 achievement point mark with a Saurfang Heroic kill in 10 man, and am sat ready to try again against the Lich King in 25 man (normal) tonight.

Druids got a few mentions in the patch notes yesterday as I am sure you'll be aware if you keep an eye on any of the other blogs or MMO Champion. Realistically I can't see the Typhoon or Nature's Grasp changes doing anything for Moonkin in PvE however there was 1 buff that made me die a little inside at first glance. It's started to grow on me a bit now.

If, like me, you play WoW from the comfort of a laptop then you may notice from time to time that your laptop gets a bit warm. When this happens the performance of your laptop is decreased. For the cost of a few quid you can get an air duster that will allow you to clean out your laptop and decrease it's operating temperature. Read on for why this is important, or click here to find links to some suitable products. This article is more aimed at laptops, but the same applies to desktops.

With Languish Blizzard have added a new mechanic to the Moonkin through our set bonus. In the long run it increases the value of our crits. Its actual effect is a bit more complex than that though. The best way I can think of to describe Languish is that it fills in the gaps where our DPS drops a bit. Confused? Stay with me for a little.

The most common request on forums regarding Moonkin (or any spec) seems to relate to players who do not see what they can do to fix their Moonkin. In this post I hope to detail the process I go through to try to determine what is holding me back.

Moonkin single-target rotation is fundamentally simple, but there are a few points to keep in mind. Below I have put together a flow-chart detailing a Moonkin spell rotation that fits most situations. This is based off personal experience, not theorycrafting alone.

Last night we were having a small issue in that the last healer that we needed to get some quality time with Putricide was delayed, so instead of just cancelling the raid we headed back into Ulduar to mop up a few meta-achievements. During Freya I decided to have a bit of fun, and realised that there are a few things that Moonkin can do to break up the monotony of outgeared content.

Wednesday came again, another fresh ICC25 ahead of me. I won a neck from Marrowgar but decided to pass it on to one of the Warlocks in the guild that could make better use of it. And so we came to Deathwhisper. At last, [Nibelung] drops. Now I know there has been a lot of discussion over on Elitist Jerks about this, so I thought it might be worth explaining my choice to use it.

There seems to be some dispute appearing on the forums regarding the usefulness of [Enchant Boots - Tuskarr's Vitality] compared to Icewalker. Personally I am firmly in the [Enchant Boots - Tuskarr's Vitality] camp, but thought I would go into a little more depth.
