The '''Eye of the Vortex''' is a new subzone in the middle of [[Darkshore]] that appeared as part of {{cata-inline}} [[World of Warcraft:Cataclysm|Cataclysm]]. It lies very near [[Ameth'Aran]].

The Eclipse mechanic is now available to all Druids who have specced into Balance, and is active while the Druid is in caster or [[Moonkin]] forms. Casting [[Wrath]] or [[Starfire]] will move the [[Eclipse Bar]] to an extremity, where it will buff the other spell until the pointer is back at zero.
 
   
== Mechanics ==
 
Casting [[Wrath]] will cause the Druid to gain 13 [[Lunar Energy]]; casting [[Starfire]] will cause the Druid to gain 20 [[Solar Energy]]. Casting [[Starsurge]] will give 15 Lunar or Solar Energy, depending on which eclipse has last procced. The spell will trigger one of two buffs when [[Lunar Energy]] or [[Solar Energy]] has reached 100. [[Eclipse (Solar)]] or [[Eclipse (Lunar)]] will stay active until [[Wrath]], [[Starfire]] or [[Starsurge]] has been cast enough to move the pointer back to zero. A pointer on the [[Eclipse Bar]] indicates where it goes to when using [[Starsurge]]. When cast while an Eclipse buff is active, [[Starsurge]] will always cause the bar to move toward zero, and it will continue to generate that type of energy until the other Eclipse has procced. If [[Wrath]] is cast during a Lunar Eclipse, it will not move the bar away from the middle, but it will have no effect on the [[Eclipse Bar]], and in the same fashion if [[Starfire]] is cast during a Solar Eclipse no energy is generated either. Thus there is no way to lengthen the effect by casting other spells.
 
 
The main use of the mechanic is of course the damage, but it also resets the cooldown on [[Nature's Grace]], as well as giving mana with [[Euphoria]], so in a PvE environment you should constantly be switching from one eclipse to the other.
 
 
It should not be forgotten that a Solar Eclipse also affects [[Hurricane]], [[Typhoon]] and [[Wild Mushroom]]s.
 
 
== Improvements ==
 
The [[Euphoria]] talent sometimes causes your Wrath and Starfire to generate double energy.
 
The mastery [[Total Eclipse]] increases the benefit of eclipse by 12% + 1.5% per extra point of mastery.
 
 
== Notes ==
 
*A useful strategy in some battlegrounds is to stay in either Lunar Eclipse for an increased effect on [[Starfall]] and your [[Moonfire]] spam, or to stay in Solar Eclipse to buff your [[Insect Swarm]] as well as the then-morphed [[Sunfire]] spam.
 
*The Eclipse [[proc]]ced by [[Wrath]] is called Lunar Eclipse, whereas [[Starfire]] procs Solar Eclipse.
