Starfall (druid ability)

Starfall is a Druid ability obtained from the 7th tier of the Balance tree. It is a non-channeled Area of Effect spell that deals arcane damage to enemy targets within 40 yards of the caster. Although it does not cause an especially high amount of damage, it is a 10 second buff that does not require player interference, which allows a druid to have it up while casting other spells and abilities. The buff itself cannot be dispelled or spell stolen.

In PvP, Starfall becomes a valuable, albeit dangerous ability; when used against large crowds it can deal massive damage. It can also be a notable single target damage boost.

Tips and Tactics

 * Starfall can be used on a boss fight to deal additional damage without much if any deficit, as the Global Cooldown used to cast the spell will be made up for in the amount of damage it deals, provided you are in range of the boss or mobs for the duration.
 * If you are not using Glyph of Focus, it is very important for you to know what mobs are around you and if they are within 40 yards before casting Starfall because it will hit every target in a 40 yard radius around you.
