For those a little confused:

Grasp is currently broken in the best way possible: It’s uninterruptable, and the only way to actually cancel the channel is to move out of range or cast something else which is a channel (sp, specifically, devastation).

As it stands, once you cast Grasp, you can be interrupted (and locked out of shadow, a school we have no other abilities in) but the channel - and the stun - still continues.

Like wise you can be hard CC’d - stunned, silenced, feared, what have you - and the channel will continue, with the target CC’d, so long as you stay within range.

Lastly, you can use all normal abilities during Grasp and it won’t interrupt the channel. As a Kyrian DH I can generally duel dps down to about ~50%, grasp, and then line up Degree, Sigil of Flame, and a pair of fractures to reliably kill most dps that would technically be able to heal themselves back up. Like wise you can run a hilarious CC train on individual targets, subjecting them to absolute bullgak like grasp > misery > silence.

Grasp would be worth taking even if you couldn’t act during the channel, as an on-demand 6 second CC is crazy useful for holding down slippery targets / CCing healers / pinng down FC’s. But with the absurd ways in which the ability is broken at the moment, it’s basically the best pvp talent we have.

So while it’d be nice to have it function correctly (for that sweet, sweet 9 second stun with a 40 yard displacement), we probably shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth. Blizzard’s fix is liable to be along the lines of “Grasp can now be properly interrupted and is cancelled by any ability usage, but still is non-functional for its intended purpose.”

How has this been broken for months

Like if you can’t figure out how to program the ability correctly at this point just change the tooltip?

any news of fixing this in the patch?

Leveled a DH recently and was so excited to use this talent. I decided I was retarded or the tooltip was wrong. It did seem OP, but what the hell. It’s a bug known about from last year? Fix it already!

yo its still broken, weird

well is been reported, is not like they have so many skills. but it seems the developers are not capable of commit to dh skills. unbound chaos and the 5 glaives flying every where are a prove of that; i think they have struggle to add a aoe area on the floor and a release so that skill can work.

keep this thread alive until a dev responds.

Imaging using the forums to actually communicate with the devs instead of trolling wowowowo

Tried it for the first time in years, haven’t played vengeance since Legion and I remember when it worked correctly, tried it yesterday and couldn’t throw my target, I was confused as to why.

Check out the new 9.0.5 Patch Notes. They finally fixed it! Goes live on Tuesday!

i google it and just found the unbound chaos change to 500% form 300 and nerf by 10% covenant skills, and the redising of maldraxus covenant, that is to late for me to change if was the case that i wanted.

This Tuesday’s patch notes:

Demon Hunter

  • Vengeance

    • Corrected an issue that was causing Illidan’s Grasp (PvP Talent) recast effect to not toss the target.

:smiley:
