"In all other things, moderation."

Moonfire is a level 2 druid DoT spell.

Improvements

• [Crescent Burn] (Balance honor talent)
• [Gore] (Guardian only)

Tips and tactics

• It's often considered an excellent choice for pulling, regardless of the druid's specialization due to its instant cast and long lasting DoT.
• If an enemy is at low health you can finish them off by spamming several Moonfire or [Sunfire] in a row. This is low DPS, but can be done on the move to a fleeing enemy.

Trivia

• Moonfire is a basic Druid spell in Hearthstone. The flavor text reads: ""Cast Moonfire, and never stop." - How to Be a Druid, Chapter 5, Section 3"
• Moonfire is one of Malfurion's abilities in Heroes of the Storm.
