Eclipse is a Balance druid talent. It provides a pair of effects that are interlinked with two of their casted spells, 
[Wrath] and 
[Starfire].
Casting one of those spells twice grants an effect that empowers the opposite type of spell for a short duration, and both types of Eclipse also increase the spell damage appropriate for the empowered spell.
Tips and tactics
- Because of the mechanics of multi-school damage, any abilities with the astral damage type will get a damage bonus from either type of eclipse. Notable astral spells include both of the main Astral Power spenders, making either type of Eclipse a good time to use those spender abilities.
Improvements
- [Solstice] increases frequency of
[Shooting Stars] in approximately the first third of an eclipse.
Notes
Eclipse appearance before Patch 7.0.3.
- Prior to patch 7.0.3, the Eclipse Bar was the secondary resource of Balance druids, requiring the generation of 100 Solar or Lunar energy to achieve the related buffs.
