To what? What do you want to see?
Sucks to be wrong I guess
Good to be wrong, however, Blizzard conditioned us to be pessimistic.

Wow, i was so wrong. It only took them 2 ENTIRE expansions to remove 0 pick rate dead talents. And on top of that this rework HEAVILY favours sanlayn , still doesn’t fix the utility issue, still doesn’t fix tankiness issues in first seconds of the pull, and on top of that now BDK is reliant on random DRW procs(outside of drw spec is still dogwater in high m+) for some reason. Yeah, pretty cool rework.

Not to mention that we still have talents like leeching strikes, relish in blood, blood feast. Nobody will ever pick those.

Yeah, he was wrong and it’s nice that they decided to give us some attention, but I remain highly skeptical about that “rework”'s success for a number of reason:
- They’re gambling with tanks as whole, which may end up as a disaster it did in early TWW.
3.1. The only survability buff I saw was armor increase. They just buffed our armor, they didn’t introduce any specific mechanics that would save us from getting nuked in high keys by a bunch of angry trash.
I will remind you that they buffed our armor like 3 times before during TWW and didn’t solve an issue. Why should it work this time? On top of that our self healing is getting further nerfed.
4. They did not address issue of us struggling to keep threat. We still have nothing but Blood Boil for uncapped AoE threat and we also losing passive threat generating of shattering bones, which can make issue of holding threat even worse.

I dont even know if the survivability of the armor increase would even be a buff, they took away our tombstone and our bonestorm both arguably if executed in the correct moments big surviveability boosts. I dont recall currently what they intend to do to balance a massive absorb and a shield generator for inbetween pulls and the self heal baked into bonestorm.
As for threat i entirely agree in big pulls in higher keys its either generate threat or survive and if youre playing with DPS that just go in and start smacking away theyre going to get meleed because DND and two blood boils cant do anything against a one hit proc from a caster tagging the furthest mob from you.

in the contrary, bdk is very strong at start now

I wouldn’t call it a rework, it’s just a prune which isn’t finished.
The shield and healing from tombstone and bonestorm were both utterly negligible, you’ll be totally fine without them.
The bone shield refresh from bonestorm was nice, but in a world where we’re not spending bone shield stacks on those two spells, it’s kind of redundant.

mkay… 
God i dont know why you all archerus gang so smug ? your all theory crafting is putting talents to damage nods and calling it expertise… and thats why nobody from archerus is getting title…
May it rest in pieces.
Genuinely awful part of Blood’s kit, and worse that certain pathing forced it.

Just because you personally couldn’t figure out how to use it properly doesn’t mean it’s awful. You always had an option to put your talent elsewhere. Plenty of bDKs, including the highest pushers found great use in this ability.
Great ability to fill gaps in your defenses and counter tank busters.
Comparing ability with 25 sec CD + 2 charges vs ability with 2 min cooldown, big brains.

25 sec cd on an ability that costs a rune vs free. I’ll keep heart striking so I can death strike more, thanks.
Costs a rune for 4 seconds 
and it’s not like bdk is missing defensive, like the amount of people who don’t press ibf and lichborne especially as deathbringer is silly. Like actual insanity
I can pull any top bdk log and see runetap being overused but then see ibf being pressed nearly 0 times even tho they had cdr talent for it
Nah, I understood what it was. An unsynergistic part of Blood’s kit with nothing tied to it, one of the few surviving relics of older design iterations of the spec.
Considering its place in the talent tree, it functioned as a gate in some setups.
Cool.
Yesterday even dorki laughed at you archerus gang on max stream 
20% DR is bad… that you know how you all 12s keys pushers sound insane
