If you look at the damage breakdown of a DH that will do 50m in a solo, the top 2 are Soulscar and Immolation Aura.
Blade Dance will be closeish but huge gap between everything else.
It’s even worse when they have 2 set, Throw Glaive is CONSTANTLY applying Soulscar.
You’re basically just taking 100% additional chaos damage dealt as a 6 second “dot” all the time.
Chaoctic Disposition can also stack 7 times for a random proc of 119% increased damage.
Nerfs did not address.
I get that you’re concerned that dh will continue to be too strong despite these changes, but the fact that they’re announcing 10-20% nerfs to so many areas of the class’s dam, (which is usually as far as they’re willing to go in a single round of tuning) less than a week into the season definitely suggests that they’re at the very least aware of the situation and keeping an eye on it. I definitely wouldn’t be surprised if there are more nerfs coming up into the future.
Also worth noting that they did nerf soulscar with a reduction to throw glaive damage. Not sure if you missed that or were just being hyperbolic when you said they didn’t address it.
Soulscar was not nerfed. Throw glaive damage was nerfed by 10%, this does not affect soulscar application.
Soulscar is +100% of throw glaives damage so nerfing glaive does nerf the dot.
Inertia nerf also nerfs all their damage. Personally think the nerfs prob won’t be enough but we’ll see.
Unbound chaos and chaotic disposition should be reduced as well but they are probably saving those for potential pve tuning, hopefully.
Soulscar damage is just throw glaive damage + modifiers
Soulscar damage is every chaos damage move you use (everything but the Hunt and Elysian Decree) applying at 100% damage as DOT for 6 seconds.
If you have 2 set Blade Dance triggers Throw Glaive and it’s constantly on you. You’re constantly taking 100% more damage.
lol what are you talking about
You do not read your spells my friend
Throw Glaive causes targets to take an additional 100% of damage dealt as Chaos over 6 sec.
Lowering throw glaive damage also lowers soulscar DoT damage.
like aug and ret before it we’ll probably see 1-2 more rounds of excessively gentle tuning over the next couple months
I’m personally more annoyed unholy didn’t see assault hit with a 50% modifier, doomburst hit with a 25% modifier, and cs hit with a 20% modifier
You are correct and leroy people don’t read.
Soulscar damage is 100% of throw glaive damage. That’s why the double throw glaive talent was strong, because it throws 2 at a target. Nerfing glaive is a nerf to soulscar.
this talent should’ve been hit in the nerfs as well
What does it really matter how far they will go in 1 week. I just played like over 60 hours of arena in a completely unbalanced season cycle where people are getting rating at an obnoxious pace while i have to sit on my hands as people were given free opportunity to get drake skins that i can’t get.
drake skins? what are you talkin about?
