This spec is going to be dead of arrival without changes, its like a worse version of Havoc
Playing without collapsing star is working now because the void-scarred build is decent and doing good burst, but if its nerfed slightly, and they dont make changes to star then its going to be like playing destro lock without having chaos bolt, or MM without aimed shot.
While Not having an MS would be fine if there was a trade off but there isnt. havoc literally has the same CC, defensives, and an MS, so why would anyone play with a devourer unless the damage was overly tuned.
I dont think the answer is to just give it ms, but instead make imprison a 1.7 second cast and not have a cd, with detainment honor talent either making it into a cyclone basically, or making detainment baseline for devourer.
And fix collapsing star, either make its cast insanely short, or give it an instant proc, or make it a complete cc immunity, some change is needed because they cant be designing the whole spec around an ability with its apex talents, hero talents and teir but make it complete unusable in pvp.

Devo dhs should just delete everyone’s system 32 ur right
Ah yes because a spec having glaring problems means it needs to be broken, im not wanting ms and spammable cc and big burst and a big star dmg,
Its just bad design that the cornerstone ability of the class that the apex talents and teir and hero talent trees are designed around is literally unusable, I would gladly see more dmg nerfs to see collapsing star somewhat usable.
And whats wrong with the spec having a spammable cc? Warlock as a spammable cc, mage has a spammable cc, druid has a spammable cc, none of those besides demo has a mortal strike, and they each have better defensives then devourer.
Giving devourer a spammable imprison act like cyclone or fear , gives it the same trade off of Havochaving a mortal strike.
The trade off is your a ranged class that doesn’t need an ms. Ur silly spec also does like 90% of peoples hp. Needs more nerfs. Last thing the game needs is another hyper mobile wizard with spammable cc

The problem is the one shot is a gimmick on beta rn, the spec literally doesnt use its apex talents, or teir set, to do it.
The moment that gimmick is nerfed again as it already was by 40% the spec is literally going to be unplayable, since collapsing star is actually unusable in Its current state.
I literally said, I would rather have a nerf to its burst damage, and them make collapsing star usable, and give them a instant cc like every other range
Plus haste literally makes the spec do less dmg. So its basically designed to be a burst spec.
Prepatch does not include any changes, for any classes, from last week – it’s at least 2 builds behind beta.
Devourer gonna be nerfed into non-existence like Aug Evoker RI.P.
I think it’s a cool playstyle but super buggy and not that intuitive currently.

Exactly, the nerf to the void one shot, was big already, if they continue to nerf it the specs doa, its really the only. Viable spec on beta already
The nerfs aren’t even live tho.
