Blade Dance/Death Sweep is a bit silly

From a 2s:

For those who don’t know how DH currently works: #1 #2 #6 #7 are ALL from pressing 1 button. 43% of the damage shown there is from pressing my Blade Dance/Death Sweep button.

It reminds me about devastation evoker log

I love it when I press shield of vengeance and a dh instantly explodes it with a single death sweep global

Be happy it doesn’t grant 100% dodge anymore

It was even worse when it would give 100% dodge for like 1 second.

Nothing was worse than a DH chasing you down pressing mana burn on cooldown and throwing every Cc into you so the mana burn would hit

It grants a fat shield now if you don’t need to take MS. In a way, it’s better than 1s dodge since it works with all damage not just dodgeable ones.

whats silly is CC doesn’t stop blade dance from completing.

You know how many times I’ve died to a DH I DB’d that still completes blade dance damage despite being DB’d.

like REEE BLIZZZAAARD PLS

I don’t know any other class in game that can be under the effect of hard CC and still get to complete its attack.

Prob was dodging things like kidney random just by doing their rotation

This is a funky breakdown, Soulscar is always far and away #1 for me lol

Doesn’t make it any better that a dot applied by everything is always top dam, but that’s just a weird breakdown

Pro tip: adding a shift modifier makes it 2 buttons

Don’t forget about all of the iframes dh gets.

I died to a DH Death Sweep once after I Cycloned him. :smiling_face_with_tear:

I get the argument that they already pressed the button, but maybe it needs to be an uninterruptible channeled ability instead of an Omae Wa Mou Shindeiru.

Mechanics like that just feel bad, like visual components of AoE spells that don’t accurately represent the damage / CC range. Leg Sweep is a good example.

Every single travel time spell in the entire game

Before you argue, consider: I’m conceptually right and scrabbling at semantics will mean you already know it

I’m so glad they got rid of that and their insane leech that made them insanely tanky.
