This section of the Balance Druid guide explains the best possible choices for the Netherlight Crucible, important traits and relic bonuses, and how to progress through your artifact weapon Scythe of Elune.
Artifacts in Battle for Azeroth
As of June 26th, completing the quest
Tout ce qui est en notre pouvoir
will further empower your Artifact Weapon, enabling all traits and at least
Accord du Déclin
level 75, further increasing in power over time until the Battle for Azeroth pre-expansion patch.
Therefore, only the Netherlight Crucible recommendations are relevant on this guide page leading up to BFA, as you already receive all Artifact Traits by default. This makes content easier to complete, especially some
content going away
such as
Ahead of the Curve
and
Mage Tower Challenges
.
In the
BFA pre-patch
, your Artifact Traits will be removed, and relics will simply increase the item level of your artifact weapon. However, many artifact traits are returning as talents or azerite powers in Battle for Azeroth and we have a compiled a
full list you can read here
.
Moving forward in Battle for Azeroth, you will still be able to acquire the Artifact Weapon which will mainly interest transmog collectors for the appearances. Learn how to unlock all appearances in BFA with our
Artifact Appearance Guide
.
Artifact Weapon:
Scythe of Elune
Active Ability
Equipping the Scythe of Elune grants you the ability
Nouvelle lune
, which causes you to deal Astral damage to the target and generate
Puissance astrale
. When this ability is cast, it cycles into
Demi-lune
, which, after cast, cycles into
Pleine lune
, which finally returns to
Nouvelle lune
after casted. Every new step of the cycle doubles the damage and resource generation from the previous, until it resets back to
Nouvelle lune
.
Netherlight Crucible
The
Netherlight Crucible
is a new system added in Patch 7.3. The Crucible allows you further empower your Balance Druid Artifact Weapon, by specializing and increasing the power from your relics. With it, each relic receives a small talent tree that you can select new traits from, depending how many traits your weapon have. Do not worry, however, because with the changes to
Artifact Knowledge
, unlocking the full power of the Crucible won't take long. Learn everything about this new system in our
Netherlight Crucible Guide
.
We want make the best possible combination for our relic. In most cases, you'll see less-than-optimal combinations. RNG is RNG, nothing you can do about... except try again. If you would like a little more help deciding which talents you should take, please use this tool:

There's no point in "ranking" them because everything is situational. I am using whole numbers, so you can't really see the minor differences. With that said, we can favor specific traits. Overall,
Maître des Ombres
is a very good Crucible trait. For our relic trait,
Faux des étoiles
,
Etoile filante
,
Brûlures de feu solaire
and
Lueur du Crépuscule
are fantastic options.
You have a good chance to see a strong relic path (83.3% to see one of those 4 traits; 74.5% chance to get a good relic trait and to avoid
Chagrins noirs
. Basically, you got a 75% chance for something good. Full BiS isn't something you should aim for. Realistically, better gameplay will net you more of a DPS boost compared to the difference between
Maître des Ombres
and
Chagrins noirs
. With the opening of
Antorus, le Trône ardent
, it is now possible to obtain
Insigne de la grande armée
, which increases the potency of your Tier 2 Crucible traits by 50%. It might be a really strong legendary if you are lucky with Netherlight Crucible rolls!

Does not include Relic traits (such as Sunfire Burns).
If you're looking for a more basic overview of our Artifact,
Faux d'Elune
, please visit
this page
. Written by
Bologna
(
Armory
) in
Midwinter
Artifact path recommendation and explanation:
This
Faux d'Elune
build will focus on playing to the strengths of the spec, single target damage and burst. We have strong sustained AoE damage as well.
Aveuglement solaire
and
Faux des étoiles
are the two most important common nodes for the Balance Druid Artifact, without a doubt. With that said,
Ricochet stellaire
is not as useful as either of the other elite nodes in most situations. It works in our favor that
Puissance de Goldrinn
is easily attained on our way to
La lune et les étoiles
.
By the time we're ready to start going for
Ricochet stellaire
, after
Puissance de Goldrinn
and
La lune et les étoiles
, we've reached the point where each additional trait starts to become a major time investment at lower Artifact Knowledge levels (less than 15). But this is no longer relevant as everyone's AK is now the same.
In 7.2, we have 5 new Artifact traits to acquire on the Balance Druid Artifact.
Radiance du Cercle cénarien
- Increases damage by 10% and Stamina by 10%.
Invocation circadienne
- Moonfire damage increases the Arcane damage you deal to the target by 1%, and Sunfire damage increases the Nature damage you deal to the target by 1%, each stacking up to 6 times.
Since these are two separate auras, these effects stack for Astral damage (Nature, Arcane) (~12% more damage).
Astral damage spells:
Éruption stellaire
,
Météores
,
Nouvelle lune
,
Demi-lune
,
Pleine lune
,
Ricochet stellaire
Invocation circadienne
(Arcane)
Invocation circadienne
(Nature)
Applied/Refreshed by direct damage and damage-over-time from respective spells.
Phases lunaires
- Your Moonfire increases the direct damage of your Moonfire and Sunfire by 25%. Stacks up to 5 times and lasts 30sec.
Lueur de l'étoile du soir
- Increases the damage of Starfall by 3% per rank.
Accord du Déclin
- Your abilities have a chance to increase your primary stat by 4000 for 10sec. (Stat increased by 300 per subsequent rank.)
Below we have posted the 6 "stages" of Artifact progression:
For ease of access, the recommend path in 7.2, assuming you have at least 35 traits, is as follows:
1.
Radiance du Cercle cénarien
- Best option available.
2.
Lueur de l'étoile du soir
- This will be 4 points.
3.
Phases lunaires
- This trait is really poor, it's the next trait we want.
4.
Invocation circadienne
- Worth about 6-7% single-target target. (Less value on "burst AoE" due to ramp-up.)
5.
Faux des étoiles
- Strongest single-target available.
6.
Brûlures de feu solaire
7.
Lueur du Crépuscule
8.
Poignard solaire
9.
Face cachée de la lune
10.
Renforcement
11.
Etoile filante
12.
Plumes tranchantes
- Doesn't really matter at this point, but this is the better option.
13.
Toucher de la lune
14.
Accord du Déclin
- Obtainable after all traits fulfilled.
Single-Target notes:
Invocation circadienne
- It's a flat 6% boost to all of our damage in most cases. Factoring in the extra bonuses from Astral damage, This bonus jumps to ~8% total damage. This value is higher for users with
Le Capturêve d'émeraude
because
Éruption stellaire
is a larger portion of our total damage output, we will see a fairly big increase in damage output. (7.5 - 8.5% damage boost)
Phases lunaires
- Single-target is a bit more complex then Multi-Target, but its fairly straight-forward. This is a ~0.14% buff to single-target.
Assuming we refresh to keep Moonfire and Sunfire active once every 22sec, that's 15% more direct damage per cast. (takes ~45sec to reach max stacks, which is a ~50% damage modifier over the first 45sec, then 75% onwards. Our DOT damage ~20% of overall damage, and Moonfire and Sunfire direct damage makes up 10% of this value (0.2% of total damage).
Adjusting for a 6min encounter:
6min encounter: 360sec
360sec - 45sec = 315sec
315sec / 22 = 14.3
14.3 means we round up to 15. So....~30 casts.
= 36 casts total (30+6 from the first)
Adding up our cast and their modifiers:
1.5 * 6 = 9; 1.75 * 30 = 52.5; 9 + 52.5 = 61.5
61.5 / 36 = 1.708; ~71%
= 71% average buff per Moonfire or Sunfire cast
Applying damage modifier to total damage:
0.2% * 1.71
= 0.34% ( +0.14% | 0.34 - 0.20 )
Stage 1: We want to rush
Puissance de Goldrinn
Stage 2: We want to get
La lune et les étoiles
, but we skip
Renforcement
The bonuses from
Lueur du Crépuscule
and
Brûlures de feu solaire
are much better than Empowerment.
Stage 3: Now we pick up
Faux des étoiles
and
Aveuglement solaire
.
Stage 4: Take the long way to
Ricochet stellaire
Stage 5: Clean up the remaining traits, taking
Renforcement
first. Finish with
Fureur de Goldrinn
Stage 6: Follow the numbers,this assumes you have 35 traits.
Artifact: Scythe of Elune
Faux d'Elune
Elite Nodes
Puissance de Goldrinn
All around a solid trait. Useful anytime you are casting
Éruption stellaire
often. (33% proc chance.)
La lune et les étoiles
Coupled with
Incarnation : Appelé d’Élune
, this trait will bolster your burst phases immensely. Celestial Alignment offers 3% per stack, Incarnation offers 1.5% per stack.
Ricochet stellaire
This bonus benefits from effects that enhance
Météores
.
Although not a bad trait,
Ricochet stellaire
is pretty far out of the way of the other nodes we wish to hit.
We don't use
Météores
regularly enough to merit choosing this trait over others.
Even if you spend most of your PvE time in Mythic+ dungeons, you'd be better off focusing on
Fureur d’Élune
and boss damage, rather than
Météores
Invocation circadienne
New in 7.2, this is a powerful bonus for sustained damage. It is not too great for AoE damage because it requires time to stack up on the target.
