I remember in the original wotlk they buffed starfall at one point to ridiculousness, in its duration it was enough damage to kill a well geared player all on its own and with time to spare. This bug was from the splash damage essentially stacking on itself. When fixed it went more from 130% your hp bar to a reasonable 40ish percentage on average. (which is acceptable seeing as how its thoughtless aoe damage the druid can still cast and move freely)
I have noticed it hits hard but not that bad but sometimes… it makes me raise an eyebrow. Like i recently got hit by it for 1.9k damage, but then it read 5 times after every initial hit… so the splash damage (starfall hits you for 647 damage) I just kind of noticed it hit me once and i went from like 5k hp to basically dead with 1.3k resil. Just wondering if this is a bug or intentional. A single starfall bolt hits me for 1.9k damage but the passive splash effect hits for roughly 3k. So it seems to be bugged
I believe the splash damage is overstacking again and it’s why balance druids continuously top damage charts in bgs
