Season 21 PTR - Organized DH Feedback Thread! 🏹

[StuRedman-2654]

Last season people made similar efforts to test and suggest improvements for the barb set.
All of which got ignored.

[Woogmoog-11780]

Finally the thread on the right spot! Let’s try to keep this up on the list gents we need to be heard!

[Iria-1342]

I added several ideas that we can discuss (at the end of the first post). I can add more as people discuss and remove those that would cause unintended issues.

The Ninth Cirri Satchel
Hungering Arrow is guaranteed to pierce and also deals 450-600% increased damage.

I’m wondering if only the pierce gains the 450%-600% bonus? Single target dps/dmg seems really crumby, but monsters can die fairly easy while grouped. This is mainly in Gr110…I’m having a hard time in Gr115. I think dmkt was able to clear gr120 if not better, but I’m not as good as him. lol

Edit: This was only with having 50% AreaDmg from Paragon.

2.6.9 DH feedback

New Set: 4 set bonus “Casting Strafe against enemies will automatically shoot your last used primary skill, and also give 60% damage reduction while strafing and for 5 seconds after. While casting Strafe, you move faster per stack of Momentum.” Right now Primary skills shoot by Strafe are not doing as much damage as Primary skills you shoot manually. Damage of Primary skills shoot by Strafe dont scale with attack speed, they don’t proc area damage and they don’t pierce always. I don’t know i…

Few days ago I tried HA cold rune with pixel barb in 2 man setup and we cleared GR135 in 10 minutes. Really good rift (back to back battlefields) but with no power pylon.

How does the momentum mechanic work in detail (understand duration wording)? This would take a whole post and is likely to change in next PTR. Currently, stacks up to 10 times and each primary stacks separately and the previous generator resets to 0 when stacking a new primary.

I think this should also be listed as a bug. Since based on the momentum, this buff is supposed to work on all primary skills, instead of only 1 sill at a time.

i know some people love the hard play style on GOD set… but at least provide something for strafe to win fan to enjoy the next season… my suggestion is to buff this 2 crossbow

• valla’s bequest
• k’mar tenclip
  increase the damage to 250-300% each so we can play with NAT set, LON or LOD.

All I’ve ever wanted.

[Childe-1683]

Can someone confirm how much the movement speed bonus is?

[FormatDriveC-1559]

very well made topic, the only thing i want is: my DH spinning freely without stoping to recast anything, this is my definition of joy =)

[Raenil-1604]

This is objectively untrue.

2p was exclusively based around fear, now works for charm, stun and freeze.

4p damage reduction got buffed.

Frenzy stack duration got increased.

The build could use more power to bring it up to WW/Rend, but it’s currently Barbs second strongest build and a decent off meta RGK.

Thanks for the thread/discussion/feedback! I’m bouncing around threads grabbing all of this for the team.

@PezRadar
Thank you for popping in here to let us know that we’re being heard!

Also, I am actively adding content to the original post as more ideas come in so be sure to check back on the last section (Some Other Suggestions/Ideas) from time to time for new or updated ideas.

The goal of this thread was to consolidate all the testing and feedback in one organized place for easier communication of ideas. Currently, the PTR feedback forum is inundated with hundreds of screaming voices which is very hard to follow since there is often a lot of overlapping concerns!

Whenever you update the OP or add new content you might want to make a new post stating this. It will show up as new comments and alert players and Blizz to the new content being added.  

And, if I haven’t said it already, thanks for this thread and to all those who contributed.

[Iria-1342]

Thanks for the video links. It’s great that you’re trying to help out with ideas and suggestions here but it would be more helpful for me if you could isolate the key ideas and thoughts from these videos into bullet points. Then compare those points with those that are already mentioned in my original post, and finally just list the ones I don’t have or didn’t consider.

Since there are so many voices for ptr feedback and so many overlapping thoughts from different players, it would save a lot of time to filter out ideas and comments which are already mentioned.

@Saidosha-1136

My stance that Blizz hates DHs remains unchanged.

I hear you. But we need to give them chance. It seems PezRadar is doing good job. I already like him.

[Volatility-11129]

I resonate with Saidosha in the instance that Blizz does hate in every game they produce with the word ‘hunter’ in its name for a class. Check out World of Warcraft and Hearthstone for example.

That said, good to see PezRadar replying to us on these threads and that our feedback is heard.
