Some suggestions for changes to some Blood Knight essences, since in this new update all classes received some buff or nerf and for some time now the Blood Knight has only received nerfs and is forgotten, and has also not received anything in this new update. Furthermore, the Necromancer had absurd changes to its essences and became one of the best farming classes, why can’t the Blood Knight also have a change?
NightFlayer - only increase the duration of movement speed by 40%. The Necromancer has a huge buff to movement speed with 2 pieces of armor, the Monk also increases it by 40%, DH by 30%, Barbarian and Crusader, let alone, but in Blood Knight we have… 28.8%, that’s ridiculous, please Blizzard, change that, if you want to make the number more rounded you can put 30% attack speed and 40% movement speed or create a separate pair of pants from the mephitic cloud that considerably increases movement speed or give us some new essence similar to those of the barbarian/necromancer (being Pants specifically because it wouldn’t affect the rest of the players’ farming build).
Lurid Tide - This one surprised me negatively, an Hell 1 essence with this characteristic of not lasting the whole time or having at least 2 or 1 second CD is really horrible, taking into account that both the arcanist and the barbarian, crusader, Monk and more have several skills. Damage from the benefit effect that is always active while we, Blood Knight, have to deal with a pathetic essence from Hell 1 difficulty that has an incredible 6 second cooldown with the items already awakened. Please Blizzard, rework this essence and make us always have it active.
Flagellant’s Spines - don’t get me wrong, the essence is great, but remove the part where it takes away your HP, this can be frustrating in some situations, especially in Vanguard mode and beyond, and also, increase its area, by today’s standards it is relatively small.
The Blood Knight is currently a very weak class for PVE and farming, we need a rework on its skills, it lacks damage, movement speed, everything, please Blizzard, remember that this class exists!
