DH are overtuned

cancel eye beam insta for the 6 sec of demon form damage. Eye beam does negative damage. 1 death sweep hits harder than the whole duration of eye beam

Laast night I faced dhs and they kept using it as normal. Assuming blizzard went on to fight this very same behavior for veng dh (them canceling spikes to get calcified dr) why is havoc allowed to do so?

Should have to channel a full eye beam to get metamorphosis, and it should still be kickable. DH is so gross with its zero counterplay.

I havent played any games this season yet, But i was watching MVQ and his didnt channel eyebeam at all. Canceled it immediately for the Demon form 6 sec buff.

It’s 5 sec buff, and yes it’s better to cancel it cause they reduced the time on meta, you wanna get into demon form and EB/DS in those 5 seconds

what the heck?!?!?!!?!?!?! do you have any idea how hard i worked for this set??? i demand an apology :dracthyr_cry_animated:

No one is saying it’s difficult. Read the post where I explictly state that.

No spec in this game is difficult. You can essentially master every spec in the game inside 15 minutes on a training dummy.

The point is that people that sit here and pretend like DH damage profile is somehow more braindead than anything else is just a weird thing people like to spew when they’re angry that a spec is overtune.

Demon Hunter has a variety of buttons that have mid-ish cooldowns that can get staggered, and you ideally need them all at the same time.

Immo provides valuable fury gen and a lot of damage, so you want to press it on CD. But you also want the inertia buff for when you have eye beam, and double immos / veng retreat fury gen for fel barrage if you awnt to press that.

Having these things like up properly is tedious and you have to make decisions on how and when to send certain things based on the situation you’re in. Do you hold immo 12 more seconds for eye beam or just send it?

Ultimately it doesn’t REALLY matter, as your pressure is insane either way. But to really take offense to another level on DH def requires micro things like that lining up
 that’s all i’m saying. Which is objectively true.

Specs like Ret and Warrior line up their damage way cleaner; Divine toll lines up with every other crusade & final reck if you were to play that. Warrior has bolt / sharpen / warbreaker always at the same time, and roar avatar every 3rd. That damage profile is clean and easy to execute. Doom winds bloodlust is easy. Deep breath fire breath is easy. When things line up well they are easy to execute.

DH can easily get off script with it’s damage is all i’m saying. There is no arguing this.

ngl blizzard need to apologize to monks for making that set your last ssn set was bad but this is worse. even on nightelf I just can’t wear it.

That set is so bad it doesnt even look remotely good on the best lookimg race (female human). What I hate the most are those new legg pieces they started doing that are all thick like you are wearing 50 pants one under the other. Looks so bad like brooooo

if they can make something like warlock, dh, and dks sets they can surely make good looking sets for the rest also idk why druids don’t like their set I think it’s kind of cool white and gold looks great on it helm tho is a no go.

I hate my paladin set too,the rogue like daggers and the burgerking crown are just ugh. Warrior is nice and dk is definitely the best

alts don’t exist

Maybe he should be leveling rather than complaining.

Facts /10char

This isn’t true lol. We do a lot of damage for sure, I won’t deny that. But we also just cleave everything all the time. In the games I’ve played at like 2k mmr at the moment with dhs, I was routinely beat or tied by dhs. If they’re cleaving two people it’s a wrap.

Does demonic not update its duration as you channel beam?i would’ve sworn it used to

I thought it was always immediate but you used to need to complete the channel for Furious Gaze haste.

Further testing when I get home but I don’t think that’s accurate

It doesn’t, it starts at 6sec when you start eye beam and if you channel the full thing it will be just about to tic over to 4sec remaining.

While i think DH damage does need to be looked at, it feels like the amount of crying about them is overkill given the other OP specs out there for example:

Warriors are insane with big damage, utility and are incredibly tanky.

Finding demo locks to be a real pain, again lots of damage, CC and tankiness.

Sub rogue of course but less so in shuffle which is prob why there is less crying on the forums about them.

DH has damage but not the same tankiness as those 2 specs. Thing is DH is great at lower levels and the damage numbers look good (especially on details) because there are so many aoe spells baked into the standard rotation that they hit everything including pets and totems.
