I can’t be the only one that thinks Deathwing needs a couple fat buffs? I mean christ it doesn’t even have to be damage, I’m totally okay with his damage and where its at, maybe even the windup can be the same but they need to raise his armor or health, maybe add some more defensive talents for him? He just feels so underwhelming and it would be fun to see him as a truly playable character. Anyone else have any suggestions?

Buff Heat Wave lvl 4 and all of his lvl 20.
Maybe a small 30 HP buff.
His stat numbers aren’t terrible, but could have some love.

Anything that dont force him to be a range mage with Q build would be nice.

What I would probably do is give him partial benefits from all his level 1 talents baseline. Something like he heals for 10% auto attacks vs heroes 25% incinerate damage 50% lava burst and passively heals .2% HP while at or above 3 armor plates. Then provide buffs to each level 1 talent. Dragon soul would now provide healing on lava bursts dot and incinerate and lava burst heal for 10% non hero damage. Draconic might heals for an extra 5% for every missing armor plates and taking molton blood will keep half the healing when below 3 armor plates at .3% per second.
Another idea I had was removing the healing from auto attacks from draconic might but incressing the armor provided by each plate to 15 going from 40 to 60 total armor and dumping his auto attacks heal to dragon’s ire at 4 or fire and fury at 13.
Overall I do think more could be done with his unique armor plates mechanics. We see a little bit with molton blood and dragon ire but he could have talents that give him more effects like his abilities taking less time to charge when on lower plates or staying at high plates granting cool down reductions or something.

He sure does.
How the hell is a death dragon a joke?

Id like to see some upgrades and changes to his talents as theres a few which are kinda useless or isn’t clear on their purpose; he doesnt have great build diversity; and his lava pool needs to be made more useful, perhaps a range increase would make it a lot better.
I think he feels weak because the devs are worried about how obnoxious he can be if made too strong due to invulnerability to CC as well as a lot of his power budget is in his Q
Also ffs please make Cataclysm better than just an escape

… because everything in this game is a joke?
Arthas is a puching bag, and not a raid boss, TLV can survive more than one hit, The ‘evil’ characters have positive affiliations with a baby murloc, and Tychus doesn’t get to have a cigar

The perma unstoppable clownfiesta needs to be removed and not a buff
He could use a moderate rework.
Particularly his lvl 10 ults and lvl 20 talents.
Cataclysm- Does very little dmg to both structures and heros. They should add a moderate DOT to anything that comes into contact. Thinking something similar to Xuls “Poison Nova”… It’s a Cataclysm after all, shouldn’t things be on fire?
Bellowing Roar (fear)- Should it be instant? I think a cool dynamic would be if the fear could be activated instantly upon landing, rather than the global cooldown on all of his abilities when you land.
Level 20’s just need to be redone completely. Probably the worst lvl 20 options in game -IMO.

I run Deathwing with this Spec: (Crud… Site won’t let me Link Icy Veins Spec… will have to do it the hard way…)
L1: Draconic Might
L4: Infernus
L7: Death Drop
L10: Burn Beneath my Shadow
L13: Wicked Inferno
L16: Conflagration
L20: Stood in the Fire
The only time I ever tend to use his Destroyer Form Incinerate is when tapping it on Cursed Hollow during an allied Curse to delete a enemy Minion Wave real fast then move on… otherwise i’d rather charge to at least 75% Energy or better yet 100% Energy then Q. I also rarely ever find any reason to ever wanna Destroyer Form Onslaught as well… again i’d rather save that Energy for another full force Q.
I don’t benefit from the L10 Burn Beneath my Shadow’s Cooldown Reset from destroyed enemy Fort/Keep as often as i’d like… enemies tend to walk outta the damage too easily. I’d be tempted to trade that Cooldown Reset for a 20% Slow that Stood in the Fire then upgraded by an additional 20% to total 40%.
(kicks personal high win rate under the bed) Yes! Buff him! He’s a little bit of a pot toss! Can’t have that. I’d love to see what I could do with a buffed DW! Sounds like a fun time waiting to happen!

It fell somewhere in his power armor and he can’t pick it up.
