feral killed me in first half of a convoke through 100% hp, cocoon, brew and double healing elixir. one of the bites crit for 16k.
Did you try to kick?
Also you can severely mitigate the damage by having your team stay close when you know Convoke is off CD. Not all stacked in melee, but within range of the Convoke. 2/3 of the damage will be Wraths sent at your teammates. Pop your Earth ele and it’ll soak up some of the damage as well.
If you get caught alone behind a pillar it’s all over.

this guy is so wrong.
for feral convoke does not do it’s big damage until the last 1.5 second. in the first 2 it casts bleeds, moonfire, tigersfury, feral frenzy If your lucky. the big bites come almost always at the end.
If you interrupt it within the first 3 seconds you will not be dead in most cases.
I find convoke a weirdly balanced ability. in 3s which this game is based on it is very hard to get off.
anyway I think many of us are playing night fae cause it so fun. if they do nerf it many of us will switch to kyrian which with the right legendaries is already stronger for pvp as it is way more reliable and you get bigger bites and it can not be stopped.
in 3s against a competent team getting convoke off means you need to have all their trinkets on cd and cc them all or have all their stuns, cc, silences and kicks on CD. not to mention of course you can also just vanish, blink, sprint, teleport, jump away
there is so much counter to it that it gets wasted mostly. many times I just use it for the mastery buff to get more burst during berserk.

Yeah his post is total non-sense. In order to max damage, you need to make sure all of your DOTs are up before activating. You usually need to make sure your opponent is stunned so they can’t interrupt you / blink away. For Boomkin, you also really need to Starsurge 3 times before you use it because you want the Moonkin aura on max stacks. Its a lot of set up.
funny cuz i was running 3s tonight with a boomie and he was just randomly 1 shotting people out of no where. quit being delusional
Lol not gonna lie, that was some glorious rng. Out of stealth and immediately hit two things on you despite all other people being in range. Especially with the rare full moon. I’d be upset if that happened too, hard to react to. But that is not the norm. Relevant clip and I sympathize, but you were just terribly unlucky.
Hard no. Wtf do you play by the way and at what level?
WATCH THE CLIP, DUDE WAS DEAD BEFORE IT WAS HALF CHANNELED, FROM STEALTH SO YOU DONT EVEN SEE THE FIRST PART OF THE CHANNEL, THE INSTANT THE DRUID POPPED OUT HE TARGETED HIM AND DIED IMMEDIATELY:
Yes, dude its RNGed. Along with criticals that are luck based. That’s an atypical Convoke.
just line the bolt
This druid didn’t need to do that before his 40% cast of Convoke one shot a Warlock (20% which wasn’t even registered as the Druid did it from stealth)
They should probably take Full Moon out of the Convoke. That would be a balancing measure.
And Starsurge too while we’re at it
It still has to be balanced with other Covenants. You are basically just going to force Druids to switch if you nerf it to oblivion. Triple Starsurge is part of a standard rotation of Boomkin. Its not really anything special.
Full Moon though is crazy though since most of us don’t even have the talent for it.
Well, with BoAT, the crits aren’t atypical. That leggo did get nerfed but still, that’s it’s intended purpose. Especially within the first couple seconds.
That post was talking about feral. Obviously moonkin’s don’t need to bleed things to get value. Also that was a very good convoke. First two seconds, the two strongest abilities were used (one of which rarely occurs) on the same target despite having multiple targets. Just bad luck. No one likes luck or rng so I get it, but this isn’t what always happens. Also the entire thing was registered. He can’t start the channel from stealth because he has to go into moonkin first. You can see the thing start from the beginning. Your hyperbole showcases your typical mentality and doesn’t provide a good basis for competent play discussion.
Sure, I wouldn’t care in the slightest.
Definitely not.
OH I watched it, at 0.25x speed to see the druid come out of stealth in Night Fae form, to casting Convoke. It starts after 9 seconds and ends before 11 seconds and the lock is dead. It is less than 2 seconds and not only did the lock die, but by the 13 second mark SO IS THE MAGE.
The feral convoke is 100x scarier than the boomkin. Boomkin just fires off at random targets. Goodluck hitting the one you want if they have totems, pets, stack, etc. Feral is just 100-0 Ferocious bite spam.

What exactly is “Night Fae form?”
I’m aware of what happened. I watched it. What I’m saying is you can see the start of the channel. You claimed “20% of it” was essentially invisible due to stealth. That’d be almost a second. And it’s false.
Did you notice the Mage that died at the 13 second mark of the video (Less than 2 seconds after the Warlock is dead)? At the 12 second mark (Less than a GCD after the Warlock dies) his Mage partner is at 10% life. I guess the Mage could’ve interrupted it after he saw his Warlock partner die, what a noob.
Please, tell me more how this is okay
Whats even more sad is that boomies dont even need this to one shot u. Kyrian 15% dam buff is an even more reliable one shot.
It’s accompanied conduit is equally as over powered.
