Wrath

From WoWWiki

Were you looking for: Battlegear of Wrath? Or perhaps, Wrath of the Lich King?

Nature's fury is awesome to behold.^{TCGDP 30}

Wrath is a druid's first Nature Direct Damage offensive spell. Unaltered, it provides the greatest single-target DPS of any druid spell, but this can change depending on talents and rotations.

Notes

• Druids start with Rank 1 of this spell automatically.
• Casting wrath to finish off a target at low health is more efficient than Moonfire and quicker than Starfire.

Glyphs

Tips and tactics

• Spamming Wrath does more damage than Starfire over a short period of time, but is not recommended for actual sustained DPS.
• Wrath, when talented with Starlight Wrath, in addition to the mage spell Scorch are the fastest two spells in the game without an associated cooldown.
• More often than not, casting Wrath in PvP will be more effective than trying to cast the much longer Starfire spell.
• When fighting a class that can counterspell, you may find it better to cast Starfire instead of Wrath as the only three druid spells that are not in the Nature magic school are Starfire, Moonfire and Starfall.

Patch changes

• Patch 3.1.0 (2009-04-14): Eclipse: The benefit to Wrath triggered by casting Starfire has been increased to 30% bonus damage.
