i was mostly playing fel scarred as VDH in m+ (9/10 range). i really liked the play style of organizing my fel dev right after the pull had been gathered. I get lots of aggro. was tanky in meta when there were lots of mobs, etc.
the hero talent was something I actively engaged in. annihilator is all passive.
I ran a +2 flood last night just to see how it felt. it did lots of damage and sustain/self heals were good. but the rotation was pretty boring.
i really missed The Hunt, too. it was such a great way to pull bosses. I haven’t really looked at how Aldrachi Reaver triggers its hero talent yet. without the hunt, is it just passive too?
random, passive capstone talents kinda feel bad.
People cried to the heavens in beta for the devs to add some more abilities. It’s the most boring spec I’ve ever played in any MMO hands down.

i guess i would like a button to hit for the meteor. it ought to be a proc I activate. I might want to save it for the next pull or something. or since we are VDH, it could be a sigil of void, or whatever, so I can place it where I want it to go.
I just want something to press in addition to reap and consume. It’s just very awkward. I keep thinking there must be more to it, but nope it’s just way too dumbed down.

fel dev def should be buffed more, its not worth using rotationally rn besides as a defensive. same with sof
The general consensus through the entire alpha and beta was that Annihilator was missing a button.
Not that they did anything with all the feedback, though
i felt like i was spending more time juggling defensives rather than focusing on doing damage, but the damage profile seemed good.
maybe as a tank, that is what they are looking for? dunno…
You know what playing Devourer reminds me of? The first 5 levels of starting a brand new toon from level 1. When you have 2-3 damage buttons. But after level 5 of leveling a new toon it gets more interesting/complicated than Devourer.

It certainly looks pretty flashy when you’re just hitting a target dummy.
But I just ran a heroic dungeon, and I kid you not, the entire time it was Consume Spam into Eye Beams into Eradicate. Repeat.
Going into Void Meta form was mostly a waste of time since I only managed to get 2 Collapsing Stars off.
It only makes me think they should have leaned more into Eradicate over CS.
I honestly don’t understand the design choice behind it. I cannot comprehend how they thought it would be engaging.

the meteors looks awful, plus they have no sound. Another example of lazy work.

It killed the game for me. I hate throwing glaives and I hate all the purple/blue meteor BS. I want my green fire back and that’s not going to happen so they’re not getting paid anymore. Simple as that.
I’m sure they are heartbroken. I personally love the blue and purple animations for the most part. The class itself still needs improved and worked on tho.
This. The specs needs more spells. Like Sigil of Void and Targeted Immolation Aura that’s does AoE Damage to an enemy and others around it. And/ or place it on an Ally, like the tank, and it does AoE around the tank adding to your damage.
idk, i didnt really feel that. im just playing as i usually play. just t his time without weaving fd for more fs procs.
sof still pressed on cd for fury generated, press fracture until no more charges, and spend spenders trying not to overcap on souls.
Just to be sure , VDH , is Vengeance demon hunter , which is the tank right ? Cause thats what the thread is about if im not mistaken ..
