Eclipse is a level 11 Balance druid passive ability. It provides a pair of empowerment effects that are interlinked with two of their casted spells, 
[Wrath] and 
[Starfire]. In addition to that relationship, both types of Eclipse also increase a type of spell damage according to 
[Mastery: Total Eclipse].
Casting two non empowered [Starfire] grants Solar Eclipse while casting two non empowered [Wrath] grants Lunar Eclipse. After gaining one type of Eclipse it cannot be granted again until gaining the other type.
Tips and tactics
- Because of the mechanics of astral damage, either type of eclipse will provide the full Mastery damage bonus to abilities with that type, which includes both main Astral Power spenders.
Improvements
[Mastery: Total Eclipse] increases the damage of Arcane and Nature spells during Eclipse.- [Solstice] increases frequency of [Shooting Stars] in approximately the first third of an eclipse.
