Template:Tooltip Debuff

Overview

Starshards is an Arcane-based channeled spell. It is only available to Night Elf Priests. It is the lesser version of the powerful spell [Starfall] used by Priestesses of the Moon such as Tyrande Whisperwind.

Functionality

Use

• Casting: 6 sec., channeled
• Tree, School: Discipline, Arcane
• Target: Enemy
• Range: 30 Yards
• Cooldown: N/A

Notes

• Starshards technically is a channeled DoT, and as such is a binary spell and it cannot crit.
• Starshards is a Priest's only Arcane damage spell, and so may have situational use.
• As of patch 1.10, Starshards is "back-loaded" — that is, it delivers most of its damage toward the end of its duration. The damage occurs in five ticks, with the following approximate distribution: two ticks of 15% each, two ticks of 20% each, and a final tick of 30%.

Talents

• Martyrdom, Force of Will

Tips and Tactics

• It is useful to cast Starshards after you gained the Focused Casting effect from Martyrdom. This will ensure that you will not waste mana.
• Starshards is a good alternative for both Shadow Priests and offensive Holy Priests. Due to the fact that it is Arcane, it can still be casted when the priest is counterspelled.
• Starshards gains 171% of +damage effects. With 500 +damage, that translates to roughly 2042 damage over 6 seconds for 405 mana and makes it a very viable damage spell for Holy/Disc priests.
