Sunfire is a druid ability, learned when choosing the [Sunfire] druid talent.

If this talent is chosen, then any [Moonfire] (arcane damage) cast automatically becomes Sunfire (nature damage). This means that your Moonfire casts benefit from Solar Eclipse effect, instead of only during Lunar Eclipse. Eclipse gives +37% damage, increased by Mastery.

Except for the spell school change, it is exactly the same as Moonfire, so all talents and Glyphs affecting Moonfire also affect Sunfire, such as [Lunar Shower] and  [Glyph of Moonfire].

Notes

Note that

• Existing DoTs will still be Moonfire, a fresh cast is required to generate Sunfire.
• Damage is determined at the point of casting
• If you are talented for  [Nature's Grace] then if you cast after eclipse has processed, you will gain 15% spell haste (as the Cool Down will have been re-set)

It is therefore probably worthwhile recasting Moonfire immediately after solar or lunar eclipse processes.

Known Bugs

If you use macros to cast Moonfire, they may not work during Solar Eclipse
