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.
• The first rank of Moonfire is a great way to destroy totems without using much mana or having to move into enemies while healing.
• 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 11 while the DoT of rank 12 continues to tick.
