Just because it makes it easier to balance doesnt mean they do balance it in pvp. We are talking about PVP here, PVP is the last thing on the devs mind.
Having 3 dps specs make it way more likely one will be stronger imo, Mage/rogue/warlock always have at least one A tier viable dps spec unlike specs with 1 dps spec… IE Priest,Monk,DH,Pally have gone seasons with being in B tier or below. My proof is every pvp season where dps classes always have a viable dps spec while the other specs dont
We all could have been number one DH in world but we felt too guilty playing such an easy and OP class during dragon flight.
if you couldnt pop a dh in DF then thats a skill issue
Bump.
All of what OP listed are good ideas. Fixing the bugs is the first big step.
After that, instant Demon Surge damage and making Reavers Mark easier to use and a longer duration on Thrill of the Fight would do wonders for the hero talents without full reworks considering the amount of reworking going on with other classes. We don’t have to be perfect, we just want to be bug free and have a smooth experience and neither hero talent tree provides that currently.
Im also taking damage through darkness which is funny because its a 100% damage reduction unless you’re in a raid and has got me killed hoping it would work in most on my 2’s and 3’s games GG blizzard
It’s reduced in PVP 50% I think. Netherwalk is 100% though
The 100% buff increases the 15% chance to avoid damage to 30% chance.
It is not a 100% chance to avoid all damage in any part of the game. The chance to avoid damage is increased BY 100% when not in raid, not TO 100%. 100% of 15 is 15, 15+15=30. The chance that you will avoid an instance of damage while standing in darkness and not in a raid is 30%, before any pvp modifiers.
I’m starting to get back into PVP again
I’ve got my honor gear
A few crafted pieces 626 for the better stats (rings and boots)
I used my epic mats to craft 639 weapon and belt for the embellishments.
My question is…
What do you recommend spending conquest on?
I should ding 1600 for the free token tonight, so should I:
buy the helmet and turn into tier and use token on tier chest?
What should I buy after?
Updated the list of suggestions after further testing after the recent hotfixes.
Since we haven’t seen any updates or changes in the patch notes, the real questions are:
I understand that there are few PvP players, and even fewer DH players, but please show us some respect and don’t go silent. At the very least, let us know if something is planned or not, so we don’t hold on to false hope.
Shattered destiny, fel barrage, afi, cycle of hatred, ragefire, glaive tempest, and know your enemy all suck in pvp. On top of that, essence break is nerfed by 50% in pvp. Most of our t3 talents are bad. We need new talents.
I see they buffed demon bite and demon blades. I’ve been gone since bfa but I’m pretty sure nobody has ever taken demon bite. Feel like they need to just bake blades into the spec and scrap that choice node and give us 2 other decent options
I will accept some buffs for DH as long as the immunity window from casting meta gets removed because somehow by the grace of god every DH in existence manages to precog my big CC ability
Just return Chaotic Imprint back.
Nobody understood why it was ever removed. It was the most Havoc - flavor talent out there. You can’t just keep taking away the best things and giving flat dmg to useless spells in return.
Yay Chaos strike going to go from hitting 180k to hitting 198. Useless.
Return Chaotic Imprint.
The synergy it brought with casters was a big part of the reason casters wanted to play with DH in the first place.
Agree. Well said
Chaotic Imprint will never return. Throw Glaive giving you a 10% damage buff with a 100% up time is way too ridiculous.
DH is massively underrepresented in SS and blitz over 1800. Last place for both.
Shocker.
DH is actual unplayable trash in arena. Needs massive buffs
Currently Fel Scarred feels good as a design, but feels terrible numbers wise.
Based on the animations of the things you’re doing, you feel like you’re destroying your opponents, but then you look at their health bars and nothing happened.
Class needs immediate help. Not buffs on Demon Blades (which is literally auto attacks). Hunt, Essence Break modifier and Blade Dance need a minimum of another 15% AFTER the next tuning. The current damage is a joke and adding 10% to Blade Dance, which averages 600k, is going to make it 660k. Most classes average 1 million non-crits on their “hard hitting” spells. The Hunt also averages 600k. 90 second CD. I literally press it and all of it gets absorbed by a single Disc priest shield.
Just throw in a 15% overall buff after the next tuning and call it a day. The numbers were really not anticipated on release, and everybody has 4x their Dragonflight health, while DH does 2.5x on most of their spells currently, which is very bad.
Defensives are another thing as well.
Some classes like Evoker got infinite new mobility, Hunters got healing and more walls, Demon Hunter got… forum posts?
Generally I feel like even when I’m not focused as the kill target I’m dying to random cleave damage and have to run away when I shouldn’t have to, it’s not a good feeling.
