Currently Best DPS CC For Druids - Balance Druid Fix For Singular (Oct 6, 2012)

Currently Best DPS CC For Druids - Balance Druid Fix For Singular

Balance CC v1.6
(v1.6 released: 06th December)​

This cc is a fix for balance druids and It is now working near perfectly. I have successfully levelled 1-90 with this CC as a balance druid.
Working with the latest patch/honorbuddy

What it does:
-Applies Moonfire/Sunfire dots
-Casts Starsurge whenever it is up, including procs
-Casts Wrath/Starfire according to eclipse procs
-Casts Starfall when 3 or more enemies are active / and when eclipse is up
-Casts mushrooms when 6 or more enemies are active
-Fully functioning self healing
-Now fully functioning with buffs and defensive abilities (Barkskin, Cenarion Ward, Celestial Alignment, Innervate)

To set healing:
-Make sure "Disable Healing for Balance" is False (it should be by default), this can be found at: Settings & Tools > Class Config > Class Specific
-Adjust Rejuvenation Health (Balance) to somewhere around 80 - and it will heal yourself at 80% health
-Adjust Healing Touch Health (Balance) to somewhere around 50

As for DPS rotation, it should starsurge whenever it is up, and cast moonfire/sunfire once and then finish with wrath/starfire

Installation:
1. Download the attached zip (bottom of post)
2. Extract the folder into your Honorbuddy Folder, say yes to merge folders and yes to replace the file.
3. Make sure that you have no other downloaded CC's that is affecting your Druid class (to be safe download a fresh copy of Honorbuddy)
4. Make sure you have the latest version of Honorbuddy (2.5.6377.493)

Please let me know how it's working, and if you have any suggested spells to be added, let me know.

Enjoy!

Special Thanks:

perfect.
it even uses mushrooms xD

 

Finally good fix for balance druids! Working like a charm for me : )
thanks alot!

 

Thanks for this. Is there anyway to disable mushrooms, or disable it on single target? I get a "No path available" error a lot when trying to cast it.

 

Hey, I just updated so that you will only cast mushrooms when there are 6 or more enemies at once (which should be rare). Hopefully this will reduce that issue. Please test it and let me know if it still gives you problems.

 

I appreciate what you're doing as I was playing around with the Balance.cs file myself.

When I was playing with it, I fixed the issue of it not sunfiring. All I did was replace Insect Swarm with Sunfire to get that to work.

However, I downloaded a brand new HB install of 493 and overwrote balance.cs with yours, and I seem to still have the same Moonfire spam problem I had when I played with the file before.

This is the procedure:
Starsurge
Moonfire x590428509285
Starsurge
Moonfire x09462806246
Starsurge
--Eclipse Solar--
Wrath
Wrath
Wrath

etc

It will spam moonfire and starsurge (proc as well) until it eclipses before it Wrath's. It also will never use Sunfire even at Solar eclipse.

I've attached a log as well. I don't mean to offend by saying your profile is flawed, I just wanted you to look at it, as you're probably smarter at C# than I am.

yep same here, moonfire spam til it hit eclipse before it start using wrath / starfire, but thanks for trying to fix it for us

 

I checked the file again and it's the one I'm currently using, which is working fine for me. Could you try to reinstall Honorbuddy? Download a whole new Honorbuddy and only replace the Balance.cs file as instructed above. It is most likely because some other files that you changed is affecting it.

 

Yeah I mean i fully reinstalled HB from scratch

Unzipped folder, copied Balance.cs

If it helps, my druid is level 90, and it only happens in PvP (I don't use HB for pve/dailies etc)

 

If it helps, I did a temporary fix thanks to your version.

Basically, I just copied the "Normal" rotation section to the battleground one lol

It is basically treating BG's like normal grinding/questing, so the rotation should work out fine.

You're free to edit your version to accomodate that.

Oh that definitely explains it! I didn't update it for PvP or instances yet!! Great to hear that.
Thanks I will re-upload that new version

 

The rotation of my druid this strange! He only uses "Moonfire" and "Starsurge"! Should I do something? Already installed the update that danyune did and did not work!

 

That means it was not installed correctly, because that's what the default Moonkin CC does. Please try to download a new copy of Honorbuddy (2.5.6377.493), and download my updated version and just place the file inside.

 

Thank you !

for the multidot thing, i tried to change something and seems to works !

View attachment Balance.cs

 

Edit: I just tried it, it actually works!!! The problem was just multi dotting itself. Great job!!! You are a genius
Although we don't multi dot anymore, but no more of that damn problem! It was really bothering me.

I will upload the new version along with your name, thanks again!

 

Could you add Cenarion Ward for the healing abilities?

 

Sure, I'll check it out.

Just to update on my druid: I have successfully levelled 1-90 with just this CC with both quest/grind profiles.

 

Okay it's working perfectly! Download the v1.5

-- Added Cenarion Ward to be used when health is at 70% or lower
-- Added Barkskin to be used when health is at 60% or lower
-- Added Celestial Alignment to be used when facing 3 or more enemies

 

Grats on you 90, I am fixing to hit 90 also. The ward works good too, ty. Here are some other suggestions.

I have enabled Starfall but it does not seem to always use it, it is very rare when it does.Are there certain rules or conditions I could change to it?
Also it always seems to cancel form when mounting, but now as a boomkin you do not need that, so could you disable that?
Nature's Grasp would also be cool to add, but you would have to have a time setting for the cooldown because some people glyph it to make it 30 seconds.

But anyways, thanks for the profile/routine, I love it.

 

Starfall enabled will only do it when it detects 3 enemy's. You can lower this # to 1 in the c# file itself.
Right click "Balance.cs", click Edit
Search the file for "Starfall"
It should be around the 2nd result
" ret => Unit.UnfriendlyUnitsNearTarget(10f).Count() >= 3,"
Can lower that to 1
