TryHard Mode: Goblin Mortars

Goblin Mortar - Item - World of Warcraft

The most underrated trinket with a 3 sec 5 yd aoe ranged stun. It's actually slightly more than 3 seconds, because it has travel time, a delayed animation, and no cast. I can throw the mortar, start a sheep and have it hit with .5 seconds into the sheep. It also always hits the targets that were in the reticule when released. So even if they move or charge out of the area when it "hits", they are still stunned wherever on the map they've moved to.
 
The minimum range on this is frustrating on ranged classes but synergizes well with escape mechanisms like spectral guise or blink. Been testing it in my shadow priest with good success. It's amazing for catching druid FCs for classes with no other cc.

Only downside is having to craft a new one every 6 uses since they got rid of the reload mechanic.
 
I've been trying this combo. mindblast - Goblin Mortar - The big one - devouring plague - goblin sapper charger.

I've been mind blasting an off target for 3 orbs, then mortaring my primary target > plague > mind blast > plague. Good players usually react to the first plague without the mortar stun so it's nice having a lock down.

Mortar has been pretty good at baiting trinkets too if you're playing with a class that has strong cc like Mage or ret.
