Nah, was changed a few months ago when the epic one was introduced (wowhead still shows old prices though).

Doesn’t the rare version of the Medallion cost 16K gold?

Actually as a druid, you never trinket things like Frost Nova - shapeshifting removes it. Travel Form is like 230 mana and you can spam it all you want.

Mages have certain talents which enable them to do much higher damage while you’re affected by FN. Frostbolt has about 75% crit chance when you’re freezed (plus Winter’s Chill), so that’s about 3,000 damage (depends on resilience etc. but I think I’m more or less right). Right after the Frostbolt, you can expect Ice Lance for another 1,000 - 1,200 damage - at that point, FN usually breaks but if not, you’ll get spammed with more IL.

That is what we refer to as the shatter combo.
I hope it clarifies a few things.

Ok, I have a noob question. So you get nova’d by a frost mage, and you trinket out- how do you stop that 4,000 damage from coming, say, as a druid? Are you assuming that we have some stun mechanic? I am always curious about this, as I get feared or stunned, trinket, and then get blasted anyways.

In 1v1 situations, you definitely want to trinket out of sheep against AP+PoM+Pyro Mages. If you don’t, you’re about to take two 30% increased damage Pyroblasts to the face, and it’s very likely at least one of them will crit. Game over.

Sure, the Mage can just re-sheep you. But it’ll only last 5 seconds the 2nd time, and Pyroblast takes 6 seconds to cast.

Great cover, Horns. Many people don’t think about the combo-point issue when they trinket out of Rogue CC. The Rogue WANTS you to use your trinket at that point, even, and doing so is complete fail.

Well done, and props on the WoWI love too.

Gaaah! It deleted my comment. ~_~

Anyways, this is a very informative guide though I disagree with some of your claims. Overall, your tips on when to pop the trinket are just about right though there is no “when you really should and when you really shouldn’t pop your trinket” thing. Imo, skip the dumb 5min trinket and get the 2min one. Raiders and Pvpers will want that at least.

This was a great and very thorough analysis of the best way to use a PvP trinket. It’s one of the best PvP-related guides I’ve seen lately. Great job!
