You can easily wsg out, but then you might take a hit from summons while switching to non shield side.
The problem with shockwave is the skill's range. It's really hard to catch people out with it during TVT.
Also, since zons and other builds use deaths, they can just life leech off of your summons because the pvp penatly doesnt apply to them. Windy's don't really have the same problem because they can make up for the weakness of their summons with the damage that tornado does when they stomp you.

Cadagan spent a very long time trying to optimize a summon druid with me in open battlenet. He definately had fun playing the build, but unfortunately it isnt very strong in the current 30 meta.


Shockwave has one place. Mirror lvl30 nado duels. Yall need to get good and try it.

Im not good so I dont try.

It's not strong in any meta except town guarding xD

Dont get me wrong I've seen a few gangster hld shockwave/shamans but anybody on a better char with decent skills will not lose to that char

Honestly EoP should be allowed for summon Druid, poison nova nec, CS zon, and WC barb.

There, I said it.

Sw isn't too great for catching stunned people without teleport, same with smite/foh

Haha I was just referring to some old nado druid vs nado druid duels where my friend used to tele stomp, shift into bear, stun and manage to swap back out and kill me. I guess he used to do it just for giggles (me sucking at tele-nados at 30 and him probably being the #1 on any tele char at this level meant he had to spice things up for himself I guess) but it pretty much meant I was terriffied to use my tele staff because Id have no block (and no wsg in lld on eu) haha.
