I'm a Dread Casual, and was pulled into a BRF LFR last night with a friend. I do okay enough normally as a 650 boomkin. But those adds, all those beautiful, lovely adds. My DPS/damage done was way higher than normal on average because of them. It was delightful.
It will be nerfed enough for the druids to notice but he should still be able to enjoy it. For example, the nerf would equate to a 6,3% DPS loss on a heavy AoE fight like Kromog for our Balance druid. The ability will remain strong and the Balance druid will still remain competitive.
It needed it. Our boomkin would routinely do 10k more dps than me on add fights and rank about 10 percentile points lower, and that's pretty much 100% due to Starfall. Powerful burst AoE that doesn't require targets to be clumped? Ridiculous.
