How Exactly do You Steer Deep Breath?

Classes Evoker

Scalecommander Evoker’s the first hero talent I went for ever since launch and I’ve NEVER been able to steer deep breath.

I tried looking this up and saw the solution given was use both mouse buttons (I tried that, didn’t work at all) and also a mention of the Scalecommander version of Deep Breath outright removing the pathing option, I’ve never experienced this. I thought maybe it was a bug or something that’d get fixed with patches, but it’s never been any different since launch. Is this just some UI issue on my end that never fixed itself after updates or is there like an option I have to tick to let me steer deep breath?

Silly question, but I need to clarify: do you still have a targetting reticule when you are about to activate deep breath? If yes, then you’re missing the talent manuverability.

Unless you’ve changed your keybinds, you steer with both mouse buttons. Pan the camera in the direction you want to go. You can use your strafing keybinds (default Q and E) to steer harder in a specific direction.

Tip: press deep breath again to cancel it early. This is best used for casual play.

Advanced tip: Use the following macro to cancel deep breath even earlier:

/cancelaura Deep Breath

This allows you to have maximum uptime on your target and is best used in advanced play if you’re trying to get maximum performance out of your spec.

I just use my mouse. shrugs

I just hop into the air, scream with rage and fear, and let Thrall take the wheel.

yeah, I still get a targeting reticule, though how can I be missing the talent maneuverability if just the last one just says I can steer it?

That verifies that you didn’t pick up the talent yet. Choose Scalecommander then activate the talent. Should work as intended after that.

He’s augmentation. Maneuverability does not work with deep breath as augmentation (the dot does, not the steering part). The steering requires breath of eons as aug.

The steering is so scuffed tho. Its painfully slow and wide.

His OP was specific to deep breath.

Just trying to turn will be slow. Turning+Strafing makes the angle sharper. So if you turn with the just the camera you might be able to get a U-Turn, but if you turn with the camera while also strafing into the turn you can do a full loop.

Yes, and the reason his deep breath cannot steer is because he is augmentation. The hero talent only half works with augmentation’s deep breath as its intended for breath of eons as Aug.

OP, is there a particular reason you skipped Breath of Eons in the Augmentation tree? It’s one of the core abilities of Aug Evoker.

13

From the looks of things, OP is only doing casual solo content. Deep breath is arguably far better than eons for that.

14

Got you, I didn’t consider that aug could have deep breath. My mistake!

Honestly thought Breath of Eons was a baseline ability.

I play on controller and I must say it is very satisfying steering DB while putting enemies to the blaze of glory.
