Havoc should get a button to grab soul fragments

Classes Demon Hunter

I think a talent or baseline ability in shadowlands that makes your havoc DH consume all soul fragments within 40 yards with a 5%-15% loss to their effective
healing, and a 10%-30% loss to their effective fury generation if the user has selected demonic appetite.

I believe a more viable spec and may smooth out rotations when paired with the talent demonic appetite. and make the class feel better overall.

this is just an idea, so I would appreciate all the feedback I can get.

Fragments are pretty rare unless you take one talent, and choosing when to consume them with your movement abilities is a skill check. I really don’t think it warrants a whole extra button. That’s bloat.

the premise that picking up soul shards is a skill check i disagree, as it isn’t always a fun thing to have a soul shard just out of reach of a boss and as often I produce a soul shard that moves just out of melee range of boss and cant grab it as its an overall dps loss to move away for so long.

I also don’t believe an extra button would in any way be bloat if it was used to set up as an actual skill check of when do i press… lets call it “thesuck” for now. for example do I set up five soul shards and press “thesuck” for my cooldowns or do I press it in whenever a soul shard is out of reach and i need to heal? make it a 30 second cooldown to line up with eye beam and that will greatly smooth out the spec’s overall rotaton as you are just trying to set up as many soul shards i believe this will help with the nerf to the demon hunters in shadowlands

I understand what you’re saying. Again though, this is relevant to the gameplay of one talent. If Havoc generated fragments to the extent that Vengeance does baseline, there would be a stronger argument, but like it or not, this is a feature of gameplay around soul fragments, and both specs have much greater problems.

If the only problem is that it interacts with one talent then make it one too, that would make it part of a build I suggest making the fury generation for immolation aura would make the spec better overall, then replace that with the something like what I talked about, and I truly believe that would make a lot of Demon Hunters happy.
