I thought they removed full moon from convoke? Was that not the case?
This is true. Also kind of a red herring, it’s not just convoke. They could completely delete it and moon wizards would still easily be S tier. Even outside of convoke their burst is insane with 10-15k starsurges that are instant. And they have crazy mobility, and solid defensives with bear form and other good defensive cds, and on top of it they can spam arguably the best CC in the game with cyclone, plus roots and beam and mighty bash/vortex. They are just in general excellent at everything.
Druids start with 50 astral power. It’s possible to fire off 2 starsurges in .3 seconds. The first one fires as soon you as you hit convoke at .00 seconds and the second one hits at .25 seconds because that’s how often abilities fire off during convoke. Then he used his astral power for a third. I’m not lying, that’s actually how convoke works. I wish I screenshotted it just to make you look silly.
I did the fotm thing and leveled a druid for fun. Getting a full convoke off is almost impossible in rated above ~1200. You get longer in rbg team fights, but it is spread out, and in 2s and 3s you’re lucky to get more than a second channeled. It isn’t the free win button I used to think it was. Sure there are druids doing .5 channels that one shot you, but I think when you’re at that point it’s more of a gear advantage issue.
No, I’m not. I’m explaining the situation as it happened. He pressed convoke and fired off 2 starsurges in .3 seconds, and then when it was interrupted (not silenced, just stopped) he fired off a third starsurge for a total of 3 starsurges which totaled ~45k damage because they were all crits. Math isn’t that hard lol.
edit: I used scatter shot to interrupt convoke because my counter-shot was on CD. He trinketed scatter to fire off the third starsurge. I just wanted to clarify that before you call me a liar for the… third time?
You can’t bash and run root beam reliably. Hell, even if you run bash, if the healer is REALLY good they can dispel the root before the beam goes off if you hardcast the root, because casting beam will stop spell casting so you have to physically press it after the root happens if hardcasting entangling roots, which means if timed well you can dispel the root on the server tick.
No boomkin is running resto aff. It’s garbage so we don’t have vortex.
Convoke is a noob stomper. That’s about all it is.
