New PTR Changes Buff DH

That’s why the game currently feels bad, everyone is getting the same tools. Remember when NOT all classes had kicks, or heals, or shields, or passive defense. Look I’m not saying things aren’t fair, but that’s life. not every class needs everything.

Now I will say that if a class is going to be a glass cannon with minor defensive, then, it should do more dmg for sure. If you are talking about PvP you have teammates to help you, if you’re referring to 1v1, well the game isn’t balanced around that.

Maybe you’d be happier re-rolling to a paladin or something?

That’s the main part, people who have been playing dh should not have to roll. I better stop playing since I’m don’t like the other classes.

We are not asking something crazy like give instakills every sec. We are asking to survive. We can’t compare with other classes a dh will hardly pvp a druid paladin warriors shamans warlocks etc … Because we don’t have the tool for survivals they have shields and 30%hp every 30sec approx… In meta that is our longest cd. You will need to fight constantly for about 4min to get your one hp bar back.

The poster above me is legit a doom speaker.

As a DH can you flop? Sure. So can a lot of others. Not the best pvper but at 2.1 in 3s I’ve fought my share of glad xp players. Hell most of the games I’ve played from 1800 to 2100 have been players on the newest season glad mount. You definitely can live. You have to kite. Mvq and tren and nutz all t1 demon hunters.

I’m not saying we don’t have our problems but you can be very hard to kill when you play right.

Those were each 15% if what I saw/read on YouTube was correct. Can’t wait!!

Check other classes. If we all get 15% like the last changes we all got 5 and 3 … Meant we stay the same.

Now let’s hope they give us better survability as base line

No I mean each of our increases roughly equate to 15% each…I may have misunderstood, but check out the buff video by Jedith.

Need to look for it. As I read was just demon bites and chaos strike

guys help pls dont let them forget to include this lol. still not seeing it on ptr patch notes forum posts just on wowhead

For what it is worth it’s on ptr and useable. I feel like if it’s on ptr it’s on that builds code so don’t see why it wouldn’t make its way over to live.

it could be one of the things that dont make it to live and we REALLY need this

This only nets a few % to dh overall dps. NOT counting the nerf to ubc it works out to about a 5% overall single target dps gain.
I havnt done the math on the ubc loss but it’s pretty safe to assume 1-2% dps loss. So a net 3-4% overall gain single target and a net loss in aoe.
This isn’t going to change anything for dh other than the class being a little more average. Our dps will still be bottom tier.

Why dh is the only one compromising skills. More damage here but we take it from some where else. So Is not really adding anything just shifting it from one place to another. They should leave unbound chaos alone and just increase bite and chaos strike Blade dance for first enemy. And change the eyebeam damage curve been the longest cd in our rotation doesn’t hit that much for pvp / single.

the max uptime you can get on glimpse cc immunity and damage reduction seems to be 8 seconds so you can slightly prolong it by double jumping before retreat then using fel rush(s) to extend it longer. Using rain from above you can easily get the full 8 seconds doing decent dmg to people somewhat protected by the 75% damage reduction.

75% damage reduction is a lot more than somewhat protected. We basically have divine shield on a 1 min cd. It already immuned melee. Now we get double shield wall against casters as well. This cancels every go if you pre vr the stun. And with darkest hour and trinket giving us 2 outs to stuns, dh is going to be a horrible kill target.

Already how I am on my DH tbh. Pve gear is way better in BGs if you cant get the equivalent conquest gear :rofl::grin:

I doubt that this will make us less of a kill target. They haven’t buff anything else defensively, so people will just work around it.
