Notes

• Does less Direct Damage than [Wrath], but is an instant cast and does DoT.
• The rank 12 Moonfire gets +spell damage from gear per following formula:
  DD part = Spell Dmg * 34.7% * 1.5 / 3.5 (14.87%)
  DoT Part = Spell Dmg * 65.3% * 12 / 15 (52.24%)
  67.11% total

Tips and tactics

• Use after the pull, at the beginning of a battle. That way the DoT will take its effect.
• Also great for tagging during a time-critical pull, such as when the mob is in danger of walking away or being tagged by another group. Unlike ranged weapons, the damage occurs as soon as the spell is cast.
• It is better to use [Wrath] or [Starfire] when in a group (after you cast Moonfire once), as you can afford to take time to cast it.
• With a  [Glyph of Starfire] and a  [Glyph of Moonfire], it can be useful to cast moonfire and then spam starfire, as it will keep a powerful DoT on the target.
• The DoT of the highest rank will always tick and will not be removed by casting a lower rank of Moonfire on that target. So it is possible to spam Moonfire rank 13 while the DoT of rank 14 continues to tick.
