Fodder to the Flame

WORST ‘heal’ ever!

Worst talent ever. Completely RNG damage buff and main heal tied to an npc that often times resets or has pathing issues and gets stuck. It has been this way since SL and still no fix. It should be removed from the game and DH base dmg and leech should be scaled up to compensate.

I’ve yet to see it getting stuck more than like 3 times

Fodder is a cool and unique ability. I’d rather not have a lame proc and boring mechanics.

The demons barely ever gets stuck, what parkour are you doing?

To each his own. The downside is you have to kill the demon first.

which isnt a downside because you dont actively kill it anyways outside of the (arguably annoying but unavoidable) situations where it spawns right as the pull ended

I lost a match because I didn’t have a glaive charge nor enough energy, also, fumbling around trying to target the stupid thing. If I had a normal heal ….I’d won

wdym, this is always when it spawns.

it has an internal cooldown and spawns at any given time. if the pull is already dead by the time its dead, then either its not the first and you didnt notice or the key level is too low because trash dies so fast. I regularily have it up mid pull on 21+

For the love of god, please rework Fodder to the Flame.

But you have seen it getting stuck. In competitive game play this is unacceptable.

It’s called momentum, the new meta.

  • its entirely avoidable as its only when gliding over diff terrain levels
  • it happens in less than 0.1%

Fodder saved my life so many times in keys, that heal is so clutch and it’s always there for me when I need it.

Also the main idea behind fodder is that when you kill it, it drops a demon soul which grants a 20% damage increase for 20 seconds.

It’s not your “main” heal. Even in arenas it’s not your main heal. Demonic Appetite is your main heal.

But you don’t want to get Demonic Appetite, because you think making Glaive Throw a DPS talent by devoting about 7 talents to it a good deal.

So it’s YOUR main heal, not DH’s mean heal.

leech is dh main heal. which is why they are very stopable in organized arenas

That is a misconception. Leech is directly tied to damage dealt.

Demonic Appetite procs ~6 times a minute, just by doing what you normally do, and heals for 20%/30% of your total HP (with the talent to boost it). It also directly synergizes with Fodder to the Flame, making the heal 55% instead of 25%.

Leech is a powerful supplementary heal, not your main source.

Demonic appetite is not your main heal in Arena. No one is running DA and for good reason. Maybe if was buffed and the trees were fixed they might. If you’re running DA, you’re running a meme arena spec and are probably hard stuck in solo shuffle at 1800, if even that.

Leech, outside of meta, is not the primary heal for DH. Again, if you are 1500 max XP across all characters, you simply do not have the experience or knowledge to be making claims about a class you do not understand.

That’s the “beauty” of the RNG of one of DH’s most powerful abilities. Which other class has to do this? Could you imagine a ret having to kill some random NPC to cast lay on hands and also pop wings?
