Anyone else having a love-hate relationship with Inquisition? It feels like the best of three bad decisions. I wouldn’t be opposed to a reworking of crusade that causes a percentage of damage done to be a heal for your party or raid.
Inquisition has always worked fine, it just feels a little bad due to the slow nature of the game.
And that crusade suggestion would be to similar to Avenging Crusader for Holy, and likely be to strong for a DPS to have regardless.
I like Inquisition; since it uses the Pandemic mechanic, you have a 15s window to refresh it which is very generous. It’s entirely predictable so you can plan your refresh well in advance.
Personally, I’m not a huge fan of Crusade (it’s fun, but slows you down a lot outside of wings) and I hate DP (RNG ugh), so Inquisition is the default for me unless I absolutely have to pick Crusade for a specific burst window.

Its okay in BFA due to the pacing of the game overall. But when it first came out ( I believe during Cata ) I did not like it one bit. I noticed that the same pattern tho. I remember the community disliking Inq because without it we hit like a wet noodle. The game was much faster back then so the community felt gimped on the reliance of this damage window to be competitive with the other classes. ( If you got kited and lost Inq youd have to then build up another 3 HoPo ontop of trying to catch up ) Now people seem to really enjoy it and even say this miss the old one.
I noticed this is happening even with Seals. Yes seals looked cool, "powering up " before you fight/get into a fight was neat, having a seal for different situations was a nice flavor too and people say they miss it but then don’t remember that you just added a different flavour to auto attacks… But people seem to want it back. Kinda wack but Oh well.

Hate it with a passion. It isn’t interesting. It doesn’t have the thrill of an active ability but it also isn’t a hands free buff like a passive. Despise it.

Mostly a hate it for me. Agree with Moonrage above me. Just doesn’t feel fun IMO. I hate that it’s good DPS too, so I used it a lot of 8.0. Happily switched to Crusade in 8.1 with LD trait. I know a lot of people hate RNG, but DP procs feel good when they happen. I never refresh INQ and have that “sweet” feeling.
Agreed. Its kind of a half assed attempt in making our rotation abit more interactive. "Look you have to keep an eye out on Inq or you wont be good! "
It’d be cool if they can create something with a mixture of Seals and HoPo.
Choose a seal, and it’ll alter your rotation and finisher depending on the seal you have applied. Idk. Its just boring and uninteresting.

I just can’t play without it, the lost haste is super noticeable, dmg as well, it’s another one of those “press this to be viable” buttons but what can ya do, divine purpose just doesn’t make up for the lost haste and dmg, never been a fan of casino talents like divine purpose.

Divine Purpose sims higher for me, so Inq is not getting used atm. And yeah I’m sorta happy about it. DP is a nice proc for good damage in both single target and huge in cleave situations, especially when it procs multiple times. ES is a maintenance buff. DP is more fun gameplay for me.
That said I play whatever sims higher.
I’ve always liked abilities like Slice and Dice and Inquisition for some reason. I’m excited that Inquisition is back for BFA.
I played FDK, ENH, and Ret this xpac. As well as others previously, but they all felt the same especially when taking DP. I know Inq is a maintenance buff, but I do like that I can plan things a bit more than just praying to the RNG gods for procs. It a fresh welcomed change than the options are for my other classes. Only one I would swap Inq for would be Crusade and even thats a stretch.
honestly i hate this skill, the more time you spend wasting charges on this, the less time you are dpsing, then you have to monitor keeping it up, it is exactly the same as savage roar for feral druids, and no one uses that.
I respect the talent for what it should be, if not what it actually is.
It is a maintenance buff that allows for one more thought process to occur, something more to raise the skill ceiling.
I am disappointed that it is basic, boring, and easily mastered with little than can increase or decrease its performance besides; Don’t let Inq run out, try and hit the Inq button when you have no buttons that better need that GCD.
Compared to the other Capstone talents it also feels incredibly un special.
Divine Purp procs back to back are incredible feeling, Divine gives rotational spice almost like a reaction game, allows fishing out a proc before wings for bigger combo, etc
Crusade puts all in on “on-target” uptime that makes your character feel like an absolute chainsaw once revved.
Inq is just a timer attached to your keyboard, pls hit every 45 sec.
The worst part is Inq gives consistent dmg, and dmg outside of wings, things Rets have been begging for non stop. Its just so simple its hard to be fun.
Inq is fine, the problem is that I don’t think many other specs have to deal with maintenance buffs like this anymore and it’s just lol123234131313. That’s when it sucks because almost everyone else doesn’t have to spend globals for it.
Personally I hated it. It was nothing but a maintenance buff a button we had to push every 45 seconds for damage. I would rather have had something that gave interaction with other abilities like seals but this is just my opinion.
