I think splitting it from tempest and making it a capstone was a good enough change. I miss it being a condensed channel with the cool animation like it was before however.
It just feels so awkward just kinda sitting there or running around for 8 seconds not really fighting but doing massive dmg with almost no visual tell that I am.
Complete opposite of the rest of combat. It does too much dmg to skip though lol.
Legion fel barrage was one of the most fun abilities that ever existed. They need to go back to it. 30 yd range channel that nuked the target and cleaved felt so much better than the close range, fury draining, boring aoe.
Agreed. It does not need the Fury drain feature. Even if they cut 2 or 3 seconds off the duration it would feel much better being able to hit it.
I just don’t want to see another ability we have to channel. Being stuck channeling eye beam sucks enough as it is.
I remember being able to move during fel barrage channel?
I like it, gives the class an extra cooldown and makes you play around it. Personaly i think the dh rework is perfect especialy with 2 charges of imo aura and innertia, but the damage tuning makes it feel a little bad because im doubling every dps I play with even when they are 10+ ilvl above me.
You really must liking to troll and post on your dh! Because I’ve ran with good players and we by no means are doubling others dps unless you’re paying lfr or mythic 0, so stop trying to get a class nerfed pitiful!
I assume this is mythic+ only.
Works better now. Dealing more damage is a good thing. You can take a break from spending fury on other skills and do other stuff if necessary. Old FB was yet another terrible channeling spell which dealt crappy damage and got cancelled by anything.
And as much as the animation can be overlooked (can’t see much with a lot going on around me), the old animation was terrible. Didn’t make much sense to start floating, playing the “Warrior Shout animation” for a channeled spell on a DH.
I guess something similar to a WC3 Immolate on top of the current animation? Something to show it looks active.
I can’t really agree. Going from a fast paced playstyle to just sitting there for 8 seconds doesnt feel good period.
Hmm? There’s Fel Blade, Immo, Fel Rush, glaices, etc. Plenty of stuff to do, specially since you’re supposed to generate some DF while Fel Barrage is up, else you run out of juice earlier.
I didn’t mean physically stuck in place, just that you couldn’t hit any other buttons while using it.
That’s true and I do, but there isn’t enough to fill up the full 8 seconds. It just seems a little too long. I rotate the few things I have to upkeep and then end up looking at my freshly off cd Blade Dance or Glaive Tempest and feel the dopamine screaming in my brain as it’s being edged and teased and it hurts. 
You’ll want to hit max fury or close to it and treat it like any other burst window. So the “rotation” for it should be Immo>VR>FR(Inertia)>Barrage>wait until fury drops to 80>Sigil>wait till 80>Fel Blade. If off CD you can feed a throw glaive into the wait periods you should probably get a charge of Immo back during that you’d us again. Should be able to get through the 8 seconds no problem, just don’t blade dance or chaos strike during.
I understand all that. It still feels bad. 
229k overall fel barrage top damage. Feels good to me. I have a tank buddy that I let know when he can go big big. Tanks matter a lot when running barrage.
you spelled essence break wrong
I just wish it looked a little better.
Yeah my complaint is mainly the feel of using the skill. Even when I manage resources perfectly there’s still at least 2 seconds where I just do nothing but stand around until it finishes. And then I’ll sometimes be completely dry after and wait a few seconds to get fury to get going again.
It just kind breaks the flow of things.
But also it looks visually flaccid compared to everything else we do.
Like if I compare it to the old fel barrage the few times I used it. It’s like when bloodlust is popped and you’re zipping around spamming skills and then do a 1 second eye beam it looks and feels good. Old fel barrage felt like a 3 second aoe eye beam that was faster with haste and youd fly up and sht out an insane volley of arcing bolts and looked amazing and didnt break the flow.
I’d love it if it was the old channeled fel barrage but could dump all of your fury still.
based and real
I might be wrong here but isn’t Fel Barrage hard capped on targets?
