Tumult (as well as all other abilities of the same type) are not usable in PvP or PvE raiding, they are meant specifically for strong or below level mobs.

Natarii Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Usable, yes, Useful, no. As a sorc, I have never even put it on my bars - it's a melee range ability and we should not be close enough to our targets to use it. Not sure why it's not just an assassin-only ability, tbh.

Because its there to allow us to dispatch weak/standard mobs quickly who mob/zerg us without having to kite them. At this point you are probably thinking: "Yeah, but we can destroy all standards with force storm anyway" and you'd be right. These abilities are there just to add some fluff and diversity in your rotations. Hell, on my marauder I have two of those and I never used either.

On my Jugg, I use Pommel Strike after a Smash all the time, particularly on groups of 4 standards. Kills one outright most of the time. Also a nice follow-up to Force Scream, and if you time it right you can use it at the end of Force Choke on Silvers. For Sorcs, Tumult is pretty useless, but for characters already in melee range, that are rather nice as they hit VERY hard and are completely free.

alexbtbk Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I'm level 40 atm (healer spec) and I use it regularly on any mobs that get close to me. It's instant and it does good damage. Not really a game changer, but not totally useless either. On a DPS spec it's probably not worth using though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Celendia Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Nice to hear you use it. But I haven't found anything on my hotbar that makes me able to use it. Level 46 Sorcerer on PVP server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nosaj Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 The target must be stunned to use it. Higher level NPC's, even if stunned will be immune. Useless for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanideyn Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 As a healing sorc I use it A LOT when I solo quests/dailies. Since I don't have any points to improve the damage of my abilities, it is one of the hardest hitting abilities that I have. It is only limited in its usefulness though since it only works on strong and lower mobs. It's great in taking out a mob quickly or helping to down a strong mob, but since it is only useful in that respect I have it far off to the side as a clickable. Usefulness = low, Fun factor = awesome (I still love the animation for this ability works) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
owlinspace Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I've used my tumult quite alot while lvling up. Once I hit 50, I specced healing for pve so then I just removed it.. While lvling though, I mostly just used it to finish a fight off.. mostly cause it's looks coolt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slonep Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Tumult is a joke skill. You'll have to pop a CD to use it solo and you'll have to be within melee range. Not useful. The only time I ever use it is when I'm PVPing and IF the target happens to be stunned(not by me). It is kinda funny to kill a player with it though. KIAI!

KeisukeTakahashi Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I like tumult just because it is fun to roundhouse kick something in the face. Really only useful against standard enemies or weak enemies though. What I normally do if I'm not standing close enough, is to force speed run to the mob and spam tumult. You end up flying over his head with a round house kick and hitting for over 3,000. It's not bad at all, compared to thundering blast which requires setting it up with affliction and then a long cast, tumult can be quicker and definitely more fun. You can use shock, electrocute, break a CC, or even finish off the last mob from force storm AoE stun. I don't think tumult is entirely that useful, but it is definitely fun. I don't see why it can't work better on strong targets though, usually they have enough health anyway that it would not seem imbalanced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pinkfreudHC Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'm pretty sure you can Tumult a Shocked mob, so you don't have to blow a 1min CD for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Useful, no?? ARe you kidding? I am a dps sorc and tulmult can crit higher than any other skill we have. I can get 3.7k+ crits with it where as thundering blast is like 3.4k tops.
