Can we just bake this into immo aura and call it done. I can’t stand this skill and how often it misses. While I’m wishing for something that will never happen, can we make immo aura a flat 20s so it lines up with veng retreat so we can get 2 burst windows. That would make this spec fun and less punishing.

I would rather not have the spec more built around movement based micro damage windows.
I agree with essence break being removed though.

i mean, it’s not like EB is the only ability that buffs other abilities. personally, i’m fine with the ability being around. however, it be nice if it wasn’t conal because that can just get annoying.

Honestly at this point I’d be fine letting it go, I used to love it because I thought it added a lil something more to the class but… we’re balanced around it’s micro buff window of 4secs… I really think it’s holding us back in some ways, needs to go or get reworked cause yeah lol

Remove demonic aka the original problematic damage amp
I like small burst windows and every 20s would be great. I’d personally be happier with 30s for AOE and 1 min for ST like we see with ret. I’m also good with movement based buffs that makes DH unique.
The problem is trying to balance around 4s. It’s super awful. And immo aura being around 26s, so we sit and hold veng retreat so it lines up with our 20s and 40s burst windows.
I’m also ok if we can get rid of demonic and make meta a 1 min CD with 20s uptime. There’s so many good aoe skills we could take like glaive tempest and fel barrage but we can’t because everything is balanced around essence break.
I fully hate this skill. It’s such a horrible skill that takes perfection to optimize.
Eye beam is exactly that already.
funnny how no one wants to talk about that 
the issue was always essb apparently
It’s both. Essence break is a horrible buggy skill. Demonic needs to go to give us a real 2 min CD with meta. I’d also like veng retreat to not be tied to damage and the main rotation. In many situations it’s very hard or impossible to use like the last boss in grim batol with the tiny circle and stunning tentacles everywhere.
They really do need to rethink this spec. It’s a hot mess with only 1 viable hero tree. It really needs a new spec lead.

remove break and inertia. compensate by buffing demonic and the meta abilities
also don’t feed this troll. He is a longtime ret main who posts in the DH forums to sow discourse and push bad ideas onto the class. he has been doing it for years now at this point. just report and move on.
yes please
this is the incorrect move that has us in this terrible situation we are in now
if they lobbed inertia and essence break while buffing meta damage, we would be exactly that which is fine and most people enjoy.
lol exactly but actually fun to press
demonic is fine and has been a staple of the class since inception. the issue is cutting it power to make room for other crap mechanics like essence break and inertia.

The most fun button to press in the game.

I just made a BM hunter this weekend for PVP. It’s quite enjoyable.
It’s simple and effective. No need for odd interactions outside the core gameplay and every core button press feeds the others. And get this: utility is there for utility’s sake.
Quite refreshing.

we used to play like this, but people decided we need to do bigger dam in smaller increments and less during the meantime.
basically a loud minority complained we weren’t how they liked to play and said we were boring so they ruined what most of the community preferred. this was exacerbated during the rework because the people in contact with the dev are the loud minority.

Yes, and I loved it. I still play my DH as if it was that and just am less effective than i was in DF.
My build mostly plays the same, but I have to add sigil of flame before eye beam as FS. An extra useless global that does no damage on its own. I dropped essence break so I only have one of these to press.
I don’t even bother to try and hit anyone with sigil and just have it target me to keep it simple.
All of these useless globals to create small buff windows, how I hate them. I can’t imagine trying to play mover, having to stack even more of them lol.
sadly your quite a bit less effective in pve due to how low our ability damage is w/o all the modifiers. if it was super close it wouldn’t be such an issue but then much like early bfa no one would play the complicated unfun playstyle we are burdened with now.
Good thing I don’t PVE then 
PvP just can’t lose that mobility for damage.
it bleeds into pvp too. we could be alot better if are normal spells were buffed but cant because essence break and inertia
