How to play at level 35

Your combat loop

Press the first one that is ready.

Use Starfire. It does 7% more than Wrath.

Keep up:

Mark of the Wild

Moonfire Keep on target · 15 sec

Keep it on the target; it lasts 15 sec.

17% of your damage
Insect Swarm Keep on target · 14 sec

Keep it on the target; it lasts 14 sec.

15% of your damage
Starfire Filler

Cast it whenever nothing above is ready.

68% of your damage

The first 30 seconds

When to press each one from the pull. The blue line under a press is the global cooldown (1.5 sec) or cast it holds: nothing else on the global cooldown can go until it ends, so of two that are ready together the higher one goes first.

Moonfire

Insect Swarm

In the gaps: Starfire
