Killing Spree - Self-Damage

2024-12-05T05:00:00Z

Outlaw Rogue:
Many times when I cast Killing Spree it damages myself. On some occasions it has even caused my death.
This has happened with NPCs and in PvP. I check the combat log especially when I have died and it shows a lot of damage that I have inflicted on myself.

Killing spree staggers 100% of damage taken during the effect over the next 8 seconds.

So it staggers by killing me? That makes no sense. It may stagger by not dumping on whatever I am trying to kill but I shouldn’t be getting damage to myself?

Killing spree staggers 100% of the damage you take

If you press killing spree and then get hit by the boss for 5 million damage because tank lost threat or you got put into a frontal or something, you will not take that 5 million damage up front. Instead, you will have a dot that ticks for 312,500 every half second for 8 seconds. Additional damage that lands on you during killing spree will add to the dot amount

Thank you for explaining that.

Still a dumb consequence for a talented ability.

Consequence? It’s to stop you dying immediately after using it improperly and getting dumped by aoe.

Indeed. By rights, if you Killing Spree right when the boss does his cone o’ death, you deserved to be oneshotted.

Allowing you to complete the attack and maybe survive your error with a defensive or really on-the-spot healing is a mercy.

Ha to the elitists posts, you guys are whats wrong with this game. Always believe there should be punishments for using abilities.

So you’re just trolling then.

not at all, but keep thinking that.
