Momentum is still a cringe playstyle

Cringe post tbh

Momentum is Demon Hunter class fantasy identity, if you weren’t dashing and doing backflips then you might as well play a Rogue with Warglaives.

Backing up to get a running start at your target isn’t part of DH Class Fantasy, it’s how you setup for a YouTube stunt.

Fel Blade is DH class fantasy
Blade Dance is DH class fantasy
Eye Beam is DH class fantasy
Meta is DH class fantasy
Momentum - in its current state - isn’t DH class fantasy, it’s just cringe.

Nailed it! Swapped to an Aff lock! Feels great! Actually get people complimenting me for living the dream!

The only thing I miss about Havoc is the utility, and Fel Rush is part of that utility kit. Using it for dps took too much away from that.

fel rush has 2 charges and your encourage to have one charge bank all the time, also its cd is extremely short. they didnt take any utility or mobility, you just wnat to sit on two charges of felrush for all of a 5min encounter

AND? What’s wrong with that?

Designing specs around people not using their kits is fundamentally wrong

You do realize that’s how movement and utility abilities are supposed to work? You’re not supposed to use them all the time, just when you need them.

This notion that you should have to juggle a movement ability’s utility and DPS buff is toxic and needs to go.

You also are pretending that fel rush and vr Aren’t havocs only form of mobility. You are forgetting your mastery and double jump and glide which is a lot more mobile than other specs in the game.

I dunno what raids you’ve been going to, but in the raids I go to boss mechanics need to be dealt with NOW. Not in 12 glide spams, not %17 faster than a brisk jog, NOW. That’s the entire reason movement abilities like Disengage, Death’s Advance, Sprint, Blink, and Fel Rush all exist. So that when you absolutely need to haul your butt to or away from something you can. Not so that you can maintain some absurd damage buff that your class never should’ve been balanced around to begin with.

again, you are pretending that felrush isnt on a less then 10 second cd and you have 2 charges of it. are you also aware, again, that movement builds, dont want you to eat both charges of felrush, just one? so you have the other one for any emergancy you might have/need? since inertia is attached to a immo aura. also no if afi procs you dont use the second fel rush instantly, you still save it for any other part you do big damage like the first the hunt or essb window, giving you enoguh time to have a charge banked. you always has 1 fel rush charge to spare with proper rotational play.

there is literally, no excuse

except when AFI procs 17 times in a row

Immolation Aura has 2 charges champ, and if you’re hitting your rotation right you’re saving that second Fel Rush for that second Immo to maintain as high of an uptime on that buff as possible. Otherwise your DPS tanks. If you’re doing your rotation right you have a ‘free’ fel rush roughly every 30 seconds, and a lot of mechanics go down in 30 seconds.

This is to say nothing about how much of a nightmare positioning becomes when you’re constantly fel rushing for a damage buff.

But go ahead and keep explaining my class to me from your ret paladin like a true tourist :roll_eyes:

I gotta feel like you’re doing something wrong if you’re always out of fel rush charges. You aren’t really going for highest inertia uptime you really only want to line it up with your burst windows.

Typically you only run out of fel rushes when you proc AFI multiple times during meta. Even then if you know you’ll need a fel rush for a mechanic just hold the unbound chaos proc. I can count on one hand the number of times I’ve needed a fel rush and didn’t have one because of inertia and all of those times were in p3 mythic fyrakk where you need double fel rush to run a tornado out.

The much more glaring issue with momentum/intertia as a whole, which you do mention in your last paragraph, isn’t that it lowers havocs mobility, it’s that it punishes havoc on fights with strict positional requirements (specifically on mythic) such as Sarkareth p2/p3, razageth p2, some parts of dathea just to name a few

So you admit Fel Rush spam is a problem after spending a paragraph and a half belittling me for something I didn’t say. Nice :+1:

Momentum/Inertia is toxic gameplay through and through and no amount of apologetics is going to change that.

you dont “keep inertia uptime up” you use it for your burst windows and hardest hitting attacks, this isnt momentum. theres a stark difference.

while yes, the issue of movement is punishment in fights with very specific position mechanics. this isnt the same as “havoc mobility lowered”

your acting like dh guide info doesnt exist. why do people default to “oh your not the class i play so you dont knooooow” while typing a essay thats 4/5ths wrong

you completely and utterly ignored everything else in his post and hyperfocused on a issue that happens in mythic phase 3 fyrakk that a handful of dh see and only happen cause of muscle memory to not use inertia doing double tornados.

Well for one you’re on the DH forum not the DK forum.

For two I’m not wrong, as your friend admits when backing up my #1 argument that it’s a liability for fights with tight positioning requirements.

Momentum/Inertia is toxic and needs to go.

Where did I say anywhere in my comment that fel rush spam is the problem? You can do literally every mechanic on every fight without using fel rush by just positioning yourself better. Specifically in my example on fyrakk I can walk away from the boss 1s sooner and still make it out without using a fel rush

If you would’ve made this comment in season 2 it would’ve made more sense

Needing back to back Fel Rush to run a mechanic out and not having them sure sounds like a Fel Rush spam problem to me.

Only specifically if you get multiple AFI procs during one specific part of one specific fight using one specific lust timing. Is there something I’m missing here? Care to speak from your personal experience on which fights you are spamming fel rush on?
