Holy crap when you lay it out like that it sounds super busyed lol.
Rogues were nerfed, Kyrian mastery was nerfed but they left NF mastery buff alone and boomies alone able to do this?
Why…
Because we don’t have as much control over it and the one off situations you see plastered around these forums are not what happens every game.
Rogues stacked insane modifiers that were 100% guaranteed to do the exact same thing to the same target every single time. There was no rng. No alternations.
This spell is literally not targetable. What people are complaining about is when the rng “works” it decimates people. It it also largely does nothing very often. A rogue never opened on someone with their one shot and said “crap, I wish all this abilities didn’t hit the cc’d guy 180° behind me. That does happen to us though. Of course you can set it up well but it takes work.
I guess to use my own experience, my highest starsurge is 10k. I don’t use Niya yet but these insane situations I’ve done to people a handful of times in hundreds of games and likewise I’ve never had it happen against me. This is happening to people who both are inexperienced as a whole (no offense to them, just simply the truth) and are simply more casual focused. I’m not saying it’s never killed a glad or R1 before but it’s just causing the average player grief and they’re just asking for nerfs like they always don and if/once it is those same people will continue to ask for more nerfs to other things.
There’s certainly a lot of modifiers tied to it but I think the changes I proposed are more than reasonable to smooth the damage out.

My experiences with convoke have been … interesting. I had 1 game where a prot pally pre bubbled the druid, that game was over quickly and another where I vsed 2 boomkins, I used my reflec the second they started using convoke and in that 3 seconds I did 83k dmg.
most of the burst in the game is from mastery stacking, not sure how they can remedy it without completely overhauling the stat
Umm Saw You in a post about ret pallys, nerf convoke and nerf ret pallys at the same time.
Hot take: Mastery was a bad addition to the game.
Mastery does different for everyone most classes mastery stacking does nothing.
Convoke certainly is a problem. Getting hit by 3-4 ferocious bites says hello. Starsurge nerfs do nothing there. The entire premise of Convoke is busted when someone can get hit by 3 top tier abilities in .75 seconds. The RNG is what’s busted.
If convoke instead started with weaker abilities and built up to harder hitting ones, it would be fine. If convoke had an internal CD on back to back hard hitting abilities, it would be fine.
Hell, it’s even fine quite often now. But what’s not fine are people kicking it at .5 to .75 seconds and still dying because that alone was enough to do 50-75% of your health in damage.
This is my biggest gripe with it. This isn’t hearthstone. It’s frustrating that Druids have an ability that is the WoW equivalent of pulling the arm on a slot machine and hoping for three 7’s.
