just get a rework and your capstone is this lame ability.
like are the devs even trying it is so easy to think of some great demon hunter capstone talents that arent fodder to the flame.
Fel Annihilation- Soar into the air and shoot an energy ray straight to the ground to inflict Damage. The laser causes an explosion moments later, knocking foes away inflicting chaos Damage.
Gates of Fel Unleash demonic powers to open up the gates of fel, scattering twisting nether energy across the land that inflicts Damage to foes and inflicts Fear upon them for 4s. Dark energy periodically rises from the earth, inflicting chaos Damage. The energy explodes at the end for chaos Damage and knocks foes away.
Fel Implosion Insert both of your glaives(weapons) into the target pushing your demonic soul into the target to make it explode with chaos damage.
What is more Iconic for Demon Hunters than Flying into the air and blasting your enemies below with fel magic, Tearing a hole in reality to hell (Twisting nether) itself or using the fact youre a being of fel itself and pushing that energy into your target to tear them apart.
Instead we have essence break, wow you slash them and now they get extra hurtseys from your blade dance. Like what kind of weak no effort class fantasy ability is this…
lol good luck, the mods in the discord who pass on most of the feedback and silence those who detest essence break, are absolutely over the moon and in love with this colossal smash reskin of an ability that has been a plague on our class trees for a couple of expacs. (at least back then it was something so laughably bad that we never took it)
Yeah I’ll doubt I’ll break any windows since they really removed fodder but the absolute zero effort to create an ability to fit the class fantasy of demon hunter is embarrassing
at least people are finally speaking out. in SL no one dare disagree with what the mods in the disco were pushing, specially goin into DF but now people (specially long time havoc players) are sick of being pushed into this unfun degenerate playstyle that mirrors so many other specs/classes.
You seem to have a habit of thinking your interpretation of WoW fantasy is the final word in the development of the game.
Essence Break isn’t particularly exciting but capstone aren’t meant to be core class fantasy abilities. The nodes on the top or middle of the tree (Eye Beam for Demon Hunters, Roll the Bones for Outlaw, Bloodthirsty for Fury, etc) that are generally unavoidable are the core abilities. Capstones are to finish out your class, or enable a unique gameplay loop that is not present otherwise. (Essence Break window, Fire Inside/Inertia loop, Slappy Hands for DK, Danse Macabre for Sub rogue).
Just because it finishes out the tree doesn’t mean it’s a “finisher”. It’s more of a power-loaded ribbon to wrap up the gameplay of the class.
Agree here. Just ran black temple and Illidan had some pretty cool attacks that our own demon hunter players could benefit from.
That said - the current rotation loop this season is awful. Essence Break is bad. Immolation Aura (and aura!) has the be pressed back to back (weird) and backflip in to fel rush or felblade still bugs out and will proc and demon hunter doesn’t move (or moves too much)
Cone attacks are bugged in how they work and has been forever, meaning you can accidently essence break into the ground, missing everything depending on where your camera is aimed.
