Notes
- Does not stack with chance to miss % of other insect swarm.
- Unlike a lot of other DoT spells which deals damage every 3 seconds, Insect Swarm deals damage every 2 seconds, meaning 6 ticks will occur in its duration of 12 seconds.
Tips and Tactics
- The talent is useful when used in conjunction with Moonfire. In addition, its a cheap dot that gains 76% from your +spell damage, which makes it desirable for certain balance builds, making it one of the most mana efficient DoTs in the game.
- In a raiding perspective the damage mitigation with the chance to miss helps with the survival of the main tank.
- Unlike most (all?) Druid spells, Insect Swarm does not interrupt the swing timer. http://forums.worldofwarcraft.com/thread.html?topicId=2509262193&sid=1
