== Description ==
'''Moonfire''' is an instant cast offensive spell that deals direct arcane damage along with a 12 second [[DoT]] that also deals arcane damage. It has become one of the [[Druid]]'s signiture abilities that is most commonly used by Balance and Restoration Druids, however, it can also be a viable method for [[pull]]ing if specced into the Feral Combat tree.

*Keeping Moonfire's [[DoT]] effect along with [[Insect Swarm]] up on enemies will account for a large portion of the overall damage done by the druid to the target. Thus these two spells are of the upmost importance to keep active on enemy targets at all times.
 
*With the [[Sunfire (druid talent)]] talent, Moonfire transforms into [[Sunfire]] during a [[Solar Eclipse]], dealing Nature damage instead of Arcane, and allowing it to benefit from the Eclipse.

== Related Glyphs ==
 
[[Glyph of Moonfire]] increases the periodic damage of the [[DoT]] that moonfire applies by 20%. This is considered one of the best prime glyphs for Balance Druids due to the increased damage of this ability as of [[patch 4.0.1]].
 
 
==Tips and tactics==
 
*Generally this ability along with [[Insect Swarm]] add up to a large portion of the overall damage that Balance Druids deal during a fight, especially if both are glyphed. Thus opening with Moonfire followed by [[Insect Swarm]] or vice versa is the best option, however; [[Faerie Fire]] is also a good opener for longer lasting fights or when facing enimies that can [[Stealth]].
 
*It's often considered an excellent choice for pulling, regardless of the druid's spec due to its instant cast and long lasting [[DoT]].
 
*The talent [[Lunar Shower]] is makes Moonfire's direct damage increase by 90% AND turns it into one of the cheapest abilities in the druid's arsenal making it cost only 33 mana at level 85 when stacked to 3. The talent is worth investing in for fights that require lots of movement or if mana becomes an issue. It's also good for [[kiting]] in [[PvP]] or finishing off fleeing enemies.
 
 
== Patch changes ==
 
* {{Patch 4.0.6|note=Now costs 9% of base mana, down from 18% of base mana.}}
