What i find out is that druids can change idols during combat. This is good if u have 2 different once like i have ( one for SF and one for Wrath ), so if u proc eclipse that u didn't want u can change to that idol for additional DPS.
I dont have pictures/video to prove it ( didnt had time to make them/it ) but it wont be hard your you to test it
If it's a repost or it's meant to be im sorry, and if you fell like you need to flame pls do so. | Donate to remove ads, get your "DONATOR title, and get access to the MMOwned community's elite Shoutbawx.

Therefore I have a
/cast Plague strike
/equip Sigil of the unfaltering knight
Macro that I then follow with
/cast Icy touch
/equip Sigil of Awareness
This way I keep the + defense bonus from the tanking sigil, and the threat bonus from my Awareness sigil. |

Both make you lose DPS, probably to the point that the damage you could've done with that melee swing or GCD outweighs the benefit of changing your relic. I knew about this back in middle of BC. |

Sometimes do to lag ( today there was such a huge server lag in Ulduar that i thought it was turn based game ) that eclipse proc on something u don't want.
So i made macro
/equip name of 1st idol
/equip name of 2nd idol |
