B-TIER Fun & Strong Caster
Astral Power Eclipse loops, Stellar Drift cast-while-moving freedom, and celestial AoE showers.
Previously rated A on this site, before the October 2026 community research.
How it feels
Astral Power management and alternating Eclipse cycles provide a satisfying, rhythmic caster loop with top-tier AoE and utility. Starfall allows comfortable repositioning during high-movement mechanics.
Peak moment
Entering Lunar Eclipse and casting continuous Starfalls while freely dodging dungeon swirls and mechanics.
The clunk
Ramp-up tax: requires multiple builder casts to enter Eclipse before AoE damage comes online.
What players say
Community tier B.
Why people love it: Usually a top pick.
Why people quit it: Players say Blizzard 'fumbled' it; rated 'horrible to play' at beta.
Popularity: Varies.
