Is momentum still best for TWW?

[Deadmagi-bleeding-hollow (Deadmagi)]

I am returning and loved my DH but I refuse to use momentum. Has anything changed or will that still be the best for upcoming expansion? I just want to use my eye beam

[Rasaric-thrall]

Apparently no movement is best for Aldrachi while the mementum talents are best for Fel Scarred, which seems completely backwards to me.

[Youngillidan-draka]

Seriously?
Where is our dev?
Isn’t the core of Aldrachi collecting demon souls? Sounds like it should synergize well with momentum/inertia on paper
Backwards mechanics and no visuals…
Good stuff

Is Fel scarred decent with buff?
Avoided the beta so I don’t get spoilers or too discouraged

[Borfwart-illidan]

Here’s hoping we don’t have to play that 35iq movement for damage nonsense again.

You’d think the hero tree that buffs our eyebeam and immolation aura would play the talents that reference these abilities, and the tree that’s about being an agile glaive master would play the mementum talents, but nope, our devs got everything wrong.

you very clearly have no idea how balancing and spec interaction works and it shows

[Rasaric-thrall]

It’s a design failure that Fel Scarred prefers to play mementum talents over Eye Beam talents. The hero tree that directly interacts with Eye Beam (and flavor-wise is about using the more demonic abilities) still not wanting to play the Eye Beam talents just shows how much weaker they are than the mementum talents.

Balance can happen after the design gets corrected.

it doesnt tho? felscarred doesnt get activated from demonic from eyebeam. it reacts from meta on press. which in turns prefers stuff like relentless hunter or other abilities that does stuff on on press meta activation

the only eyebeam thing felscarred effects is that it gives it 30% extra damage, but it also does that with immo sof and feldev from collective anguish. it was very clear from the getgo that felscarred was just “demon hunter +”

if you deluded yourself into thinking something that isnt true then thats on you. that doesnt mean the design has failed. the only thing felscarred has failed in is the lack of new animations.

we also have to realize that demonhunter is movement and demon form. theres no seperate anymore. demonic and momentum dont share a choice node anymore, you get both. which means stuff that add on to the base of demonhunter movement and demonic fantasy like essb and VR is here to stay and expected.

[Arahgon-maiev]

i highly suggest you atleast learn low movment, since that will still be viable in keys and its minimal movement. if you cant then frankly you should move on to other specs.

Incorrect, Demonic gives you two demonsurges (Death Sweep and Annihilation) as long as you’re not in Meta form.

Onto the topic of builds,w e play movement builds because the profile of no movement builds is atrocious.

No mover is not going to see real gameplay, as it’s natural.

alrighty ty for the correction, but regardless felscarred is clearly just “meta does more” more than “demonic does more”

[Rasaric-thrall]

It’s clear based on the fantasy of each tree that Aldrachi was intended to be the movement tree and Fel Scarred was intended to be the demonic tree. The devs have failed to deliver that in practice, which is why it is a design failure.

I mentioned the immo aura talents in my other post already. Fel scarred is clearly intended to be the tree that interacts with our fel/demonic abilities. The fact that we don’t take the talents that accompany these abilities because movement is too strong is a design failure. Either Fel Scarred needs to add more interaction with these abilities until those talents become better than movement for this tree, or the disparity between the mementum talents and the eye beam and immo aura talents needs to be erased.

No it isn’t. I already proved you wrong.

I was the #2 rated alliance DH on my server before I quit in Season 3 in pvp. I don’t need your little advice. Why don’t you go back to felhammer since all you do is parrot the incorrect takes they say there.

[Redhotbunny-whisperwind]

Move to Ret pally. Still get to pop their abilites at range and still does good damage and good burst damage.

[Arahgon-maiev]

You can make Fel Blade vacuum them up on use thru the hero tree.

Oh, nice!!
