Still loving Shadow, but noticed there’s a few places in the beta (and live) where we could have some quality of life stuff adjusted to our rotation:
Entropic Rift should trigger at the END of Void Torrent, not the beginning. Feels bad when you have an 8 second window…and 3 of those seconds get spent on just casting the triggering ability. Now, I like that it pops from VT, but can we please, please, please have it pop at the end so we can take full advantage of it?
Divine Star & Halo should benefit from Dark Ascension. They’re non-over time shadow abilities and it would be great to meaningfully include them in that burn window. An Archon build would especially reflect well with this.
Dark Ascension & Void Eruption could be instant casts. This is more from playing other specs and seeing their major cooldowns are built to pop off fast (even off the GCD); that helps to make burn periods feel less clunky and retain the point of casting to the actual damage spells and not the buff…and at 1.3 seconds it’s short enough that it might as well happen IMO.
Ahhhh…I see it now. The tool tip starts at 7sec, but doesn’t begin the countdown until the end of the cast. Kind of confusing, but at least it’s working?
So this one I did test on beta before I posted this…and at the time it wasn’t. I was playing around with an Archon build specifically and never saw the numbers change one way or the other on when spec’d into DA.
However I AM seeing it now. Maybe it was a bug in general back then. Maybe it was just a bug for me (I’m having one of those on a rogue right now who’s making 10k gold every time I open his bags). But I fully acknowledge it’s there now.
