Cannonball Runner

What changed in Forever.

Classic describes a cannon firing at attacking enemies in front of it. Forever specifies Holy-damage values, an Undead bonus and passive hit chance. Old damage and targeting descriptions are not a complete account of this version.

What makes it special.

Use summons a Scarlet Cannon whose shots deal 85–139 Holy damage, doubled against Undead enemies. The trinket also improves hit chance by 0.5% and has a five-minute cooldown. The summon spell lists a ten-second duration.

Requirements

Level 56; unique-equipped trinket. The summon is an active use, not an automatic weapon proc. The tooltip lists no profession requirement.

Binding

Binds on pickup.

Cooldown

5 min

How to obtain it.

The current Forever tooltip identifies Cannon Master Willey in Stratholme’s Scarlet section. Agree on that section explicitly. A Baron or undead-only route is not the same boss route, even though the effect is especially interesting against Undead.

Put your find to use.

1. 1

   Include Cannon Master Willey in the appropriate Stratholme section. Agree in advance who actually wants to try the trinket.

2. 2

   Summon the cannon in a useful position near already controlled enemies. Against Undead, the listed values nominally become 170–278 per enhanced hit before actual damage resolution.

3. 3

   Observe targeting and hits in the combat log before building a difficult pull around it. Plan the next use around its five-minute cooldown.

Check these limits first.

• The doubled value applies to Undead targets, not every Stratholme enemy or every player.
• 85–139 is the described hit damage, not established total damage for a complete summon. We do not claim a guaranteed shot count or DPS.
• Attack range, exact targeting and special PvP rules have not been independently tested live here. A ten-second summon duration does not establish a particular shot count.
• A passive 0.5% hit bonus does not guarantee that every cannon shot lands.

Keep it, try it or pass?

An unusual tool against eligible Undead enemies, with a distinctive feel. Keep it for focused tests if you want to use the effect. Passive alternatives and the long cooldown still matter when choosing permanent trinkets.
