Feedback: Aldrachi Reaver Demon Hunter

The best option would’ve probably been Chaos Strike.

Used in every build and spammable in the rotation. Fel Rush is an unused skill in current Aldrachi, even if it has a reduced GCD.

In fact, I prefer the soul vacuum to be in Felblade over Fel Rush.

Idgaf at this point how weak Fel Scarred is, ill be playing that because AR is a MESS. Beta testing has been a nightmare w this class. Between DH and rogue both being my mains, im 2 seconds from refunding tww.

It’s a shame to see how they have completely ignored all the feedback, and such talented people on the demon hunters discord are being passed over.

It seems that developers have a serious process problem

Chaotic Imprint was bugged on Beta, and instead of fixing it, they removed it

A literal flat 10% dmg modifier

Is this really the way to respond to feedback?

Let’s hope that 10% is added elsewhere, but I am glad to actually have 3 PvP talents again.

Aldrachi Reaver: Art of the Glaive:
*Can we remove the Soul fragment requirement?

  • Feels clunky and distracting to have to chase down fragments.
    Can we get better tool tips to show enhanced ability combos
  • Hard to tell empowered abilities from standard
    Reapers glaive scaling with other glaive talents and soulscar scaling with reapers glaive.
  • From my testing these dont interact at all

Fel-Scarred:
Way to show abilities are empowered
-Not sure why DH is the only spec without visual changes to abilities
Tool tip to explain Demon blades vs Demons Bite interaction.
tool tip Violent transformation and Inner demon & chaotic transformation interaction
Tool tip Essence break and empowered abilities interaction seems bugged

When Aldrachi inevitably gets redesigned in .1 or .2, think about having reavers glaive just passively replace glaive tempest, (hopefully in tandem with a much needed talent tree update, which could potentially make glaive tempest easier to take/made available to vengeance), instead of gathering souls and replacing throw glaive.

If that’s not an option, then I think there should be some talents in the hero tree that at least interact with glaive tempest.

It seems like the AR talents are fighting themselves. I am not sure what the point of this is:

Art of the glaive gives 10% for either chaos strike or blade dance then 20% dmg bonus for either chaos strike or blade dance. That makes us want to cast blade dance second for 20% more damage on blade dance.

Reaver’s Mark when empowered by reaver’s glaive above, we would want to cast blade dance before chaos strike first for 24% increased damage overall.

Fury of the Aldrachi makes it so you want to cast blade dance after chaos strike again for double the glaive procs.

Maybe I am missing something, but why are these talents conflicting? Why the needless complexity?

This feels like a weak imitation of the ninja from FF14, instead of the straight forward damage dealer DH has been.

All of this on top of it being linked to gathering RNG soul fragments?

Please boost FS for single target so I can just play that.

…I never played ninja in FF14 and now I somehow have less desire for doing so :sweat_smile:

Here is a quote from someone explaining the rotation of ninja:

I find it much easier to remember your keybinds more than the mudra combos. Like 1 is Fuma. 1-2 is Raiton. 3-2 is Hyoton. 1-2-3 is Suiton. 1-3-2 is Doton. 3-2-1 is Huton.

No thanks…

Mage tower havoc builds. We had one for phase 1 and then had to swap some skills around for phase 2. overall Legion and BFA were the best versions of havoc (100% dodge at end of Blade Dance).

Since Shadowlands it’s been feeling kinda oddball. Still fun to me, but not as fun.

Felblade and shares together wastes so much fury though.

Way too complicated. I dont know what to do with my demon hunter now. The inertia was bad enough but adding aldrachi on top and im a mess. DPS suffering badly. The class i onced loved to play is virtually unplayable.

this. Havoc actually managed to feel worse than it ever did in DF or even SL for that matter. Essence break and inertia made havoc feel clunky and unejoyable. now with all the micro windows to line up with Aldrachi, and even Fel Scarred. Havoc just stinks to play now.

feels unrewarding and the output is laughable for the work you put in.

the most blunt and honest truth.

and the mods in the discord are some of the biggest to blame for this for pushing a playstyle most of the community hated and didn’t want or ask for.

No actually, the mods in the disc were some of the ones that have spent the past few months trying to get aldrachi to not be this. Very, very few people like aldrachi reaver.

and we see how well that worked rofl.

they pushed the early iterations of this stack multiple buff windows playstyle for years now that no one asked for or like starting with Essence break and Inertia.

they are responsible for all of havoc being in such a terrible state.

That is because of the inaction of blizzard to change the tree

dont bother, dude is insane
