To what extent is still unknown.

There is a meaningful change that should be highlighted here, among the other adjustments from late last week. As you know, the Necrolord ability Death Chakram had its damage increased by 10% and the Night Fae ability Wild Spirits had its damage increased by 10%. At the same time,
The Venthyr ability Flayed Shot had its chance to generate a free Kill Shot increased.
We saw a lot of feedback that Resonating Arrow’s ability to stack with and amplify other class cooldowns made it feel too much more attractive than the other Convenants, and this should somewhat address that.

Had a feeling we would see some buffs to flayed shot, lets hope its actually substantial.
Doesn’t tell us how much it was increased by though, makes it pretty hard to tell if it was buffed enough to make a difference or not.
Flayed shot being single target only, it should be the best by a good margin than the other 3 on single target to make up for it
so here’s hoping it was substantial

Yeah, I am going to take the gamble, I really want to go Venthyr.

Ooft was going it all along
Keep in mind most of the damage from the ability came from the kill shot procs
Kill shot really does slap down some meaty damage too
Damn, they say Night Fea in all guides. Now we don’t know BiS f or BM.
Okay after this change I’m slightly more likely to potentially go Venthyr. Although I’d like to see if the Necrolord receives any changes. I don’t find that I’m personally really in total need for that extra mobility. But the kill show hits may be delicious. But the focus gain from the chakram also looks tasty for a spec like MM.
This is the kind of choice I like.
I was leaning towards Venthyr anyway, so this is pretty awesome!
Hate to be the one…but that statement…the last statement saying that RS was to attractive…means in the halls of Blizzard…it needs to be nerfed.
I will say if these other buff’s do not attract the players, that ability will be nerfed into nothingness to get people to use the others.
This is the way…
Im survival and ive been eyeing Venth as soon as i saw it. I think imma go for it despite guides saying KF and/or Kyrian.
While leveling I liked the Chakram’s as Survival. The focus regen is great. The shield is a joke and would need a major buff to make it even worth casting. I was on the fence about Venthyr but I am still going to keep an open mind until I finish the zones and hit 60 tonight.
What we don’t get to test are the conduits and it still looks like Kyrian has the stronger options.
Itll will never compete with Kyrian or nigh feae ,per design. It needs double damage kill shots. And refunding charge or make it work with trick shot. Its single target and does less damage than the three aoe abilities. I Love the zone and dont want to be a faery or a angel smurt. Give me a good ability that excels at what blizz sold it as. Single Target. More Damage pls.
Also the conduit trees are garbage. Why cant i have more than 2 potency. We need 3. Theres so few finess and whatever that last one is and they are all garbage. Give us more choice of how to put this stupid soulbond tree together. Super underwhelming to look at. I can only take 1 potency if i want the only good late ability from Nadjia. Gimme it. Give me better choices.
I’d like to see a buff on it
However the priest that I killed in an opener after getting back to back to back procs might not
