Tips and tactics

• To maximize the damage bonus, accumulate as much Astral Power as possible before entering Eclipse for multiple casts.
• [Shooting Stars] is one of the most enjoyable abilities that generates Astral Power. Remember to apply your DoTs!
• As Starsurge is an Astral school spell, it gains extra damage from [Mastery: Astral Invocation] on targets afflicted by [Moonfire] and [Sunfire].
