I was reading up a bit on 3.3 at mmo-champion and I noticed this:
Quote:
Tier 8 Sets
Item - Druid T8 Balance 2P Bonus - Increases the bonus granted by Eclipse for Starfire and Wrath by 7%. (Down from 15%)

and
Quote:
Druid
Eclipse: This effect will not activate again within 15 seconds of either type of Eclipse effect firing, in addition to the existing 30-second cooldown for each type of Eclipse.

The first one I kinda was expecting for some time now. Almost every boomkin out there with the slightest idea of what they're doing is wearing 2T8/2T9 (except if you have access to ileve 258 T9 that is), because the 2T8 bonus is so good. I'm assuming they want to make sure we actually ditch T8 at some point. Seeing that we're going to upgrade to T10 anyways, I can live with that nerf.
The second one is a bit uncalled for I think. Sure, we proc Eclipses back to back, but that doesn't make us too powerful, or does it?
Opinions please!

edit: nevermind... I have to L2R. It says "either type of Eclipse effect firing". I somehow read that I couldn't fire a new Eclipse until 15 seconds of the previous eclipse ending...

It just prevents WiseEclipse's functionality. Eclipse lasts 15 seconds, so you don't have any chance of switching from lunar to solar until the buff has entirely expired. Whether that means you should stop casting when you aren't going to finish before eclipse expires or simply continue anyway and proc the next one after remains to be seen, I suppose.

It's a fix to a problem blizzard didnt like. It was going to happen eventually.

As for the t8 nerf, it doesn't much matter to me. I've already made the switch over to 4t9.
