Channels 12-16 random Druid spells over 4 seconds. With Cenarius' Guidance roughly half of all Convokes also fire a smaller Tranquility, and the cooldown is talented down to 1 minute.

The old trick of pre-loading Nature's Swiftness to amplify every Regrowth rolled by Convoke no longer works — the buff is now consumed on the first Regrowth the channel rolls, like a normal cast.

If Control of the Dream is played, not currently the meta talent choice, it banks up to 15 seconds of cooldown time while Convoke sits idle, refunded on the next cast. Pre-pull idle time counts, so most pulls open with the full 15s already stored, giving flexibility on opening timings.

Castable while moving, and the HoTs it rolls last a good while after the 4-second channel ends. That makes it more valuable on long damage windows than on short bursts.

With a 60-second cooldown, fire it on cooldown any time there's damage incoming. Rarely worth holding for more than a few seconds.
