The primary use of this is to replace the need to hit trash and critters to get into an eclipse before a boss fight. This also applies to PvP, especially Arena.

This will also be extremely useful for quickly and pre-emptively getting into an eclipse state for when a period of burst damage is required during a small window.

With the upcoming AoE changes it will also be great for when you are too many Wraths away from a Lunar eclipse to make an Astral Storm in time for when it's needed the most. The same goes for Solar mushrooms.

Yes! YES!

Save the critters.

Also, we may even get semi-competive in Arenas now.

What will this do if you are in an eclipse? Move the bar back, or no effect?

Infinite mana.

Since Lunar Eclipse resets the cooldown of Starfall now, this can be used after every trash pull, resetting the cooldown of your most awesome spell. Also makes life easier since you can just do this before a boss and not wait for your cooldown to reset. Makes life easier for us druids.

As hitting an Eclipse procs , you almost never want to use this to get to 100 of either Eclipse out of combat. Instead use this to get to 75 (or 95 if you're already part way there) and use your first spellcast to proc the Eclipse.

The Dreadful Gladiator's Wildhide's Item - Druid PvP Set Balance 4P Bonus makes this difficult because you can't move to stop casting, so:

#showtooltip Astral Communion
/stopcasting
/cast Astral Communion

Simply click once to start and click again to stop.

Also another thing you should note is that if you want your first eclipse direction to be towards lunar at the start of an arena match, go all the way to 100 solar during Preparation and when your eclipse resets to 0 when the match starts, your first Stars urge will go toward lunar.
