I tend to run druid in raids. I feel like druids have so many great utility options. Its always a sacrifice giving up one. The first one to go tends to be sun spirit, and I’ve always wondered how costly that is in terms of DPS.
Has anybody out there quantified what the DPS increase is from sun spirit assuming its used on cooldown? Obviously its going to be different in a power vs. condi subgroup, but I suspect its going to be substantial in both groups. For that matter, does anybody have the info for frost spirit? Thanks ahead of time.

Assuming we are talking raid, and that your group have the skills to produse/use the buffs:

- Frost spirit, best in slot by far. In both condi and power sub group.
– Sun spirit second best in slot for condi sub groups (any group with 2 condi dealers = condi sub group, also if you as a condi druid in 1 of the 2).
– GoE second best in slot for pure power sub groups.
– Sun spirit 3’th best in slot for power groups.
– GoE 3’th best in slot for condi sub groups.

Notice that this mean, that depending on you being in a power or condi sub group. And depending of you being at a boss where you need to bring an another utility, You will need to drop either sun spirit OR GoE. Other skills that you might need to bring can include: GotT at VG, stone spirit at mathias, xera or something.Protect me at sloth. Or whatever your group run
