With the GCD BLOAT that we are drowning in, the arena doors opened, i gripped Disc and stunned then started popping my DPS CD’s: Assault, Apoc, Dark transformation, gargoyle, Abom, Blight, Mist, Then I was dead.
My brain wasnt even thinking about having to go on the defensive yet as i was still in my popping cd’s to open phase. meanwhile the other classes had already been actually playing the effing game and doing things.
Cmon Blizz wtf is this? I have 8-9 GCD’s before i start using my main attacks.
You don’t actually have to pop every single CD at the one time.
A good thing for Unholy having so many options is can use some of them, force the Disc to use a defensive, then once that expires use the others to try and force another defensive or kill.
Also how did you die after pressing 7 buttons with a healer? In any case Blizz are going through PvP tuning now so no need to get worked up about it yet.
Also Assault is now a damaging attack ability and you can find ways to pop some of those CDs before you even get to your opponent.
Sinz has it right, our spells are tools we expend to force them to use a cd or in reaction to a cd.
if you are going in and trying to do a cd sequence like its a raid boss, you will lose. for one, that is predictable, and second, thats not how you pvp, thats how you pve.
atm, your current kill cds are apoc and abomb, but they are mainly to proc magus of the dead, of which you need 3x. your other cds are for exchanging cds to create a kill window, or to deal with specific situations.
Maybe you should pop some of those CDs before you grip in the Disc and stun. Since you know, the gargoyle attacks from range anyway, Dark Transformation is ranged, etc… etc…
In fairness Unholy Assault and Apocalypse are actual damaging abilities that hit decently hard, they’re not pointless GCD bloat. The only thing that fits that list is probably Dark Transformation.
Yeh i know its awkward. But whats more awkwsrd is popping those 2 gcd’s one after the other in aoe while trying to do everything else. Its messy af. Other classes have clean, crisp rotations
I realise. But. I beleive that unholy has been given too many gcd’s and cd’s in general to have to manage. Allows for more Skillfull play so dont change it? I dont think so.
Its bloated even after the changes. Because they just added unholy blight back in to fill the bloat back up again. Also other classes just had things taken off the gcd making their gameplay even smoother.
Unholy is so close. 1-2 more gcd changes and its there imo
Then why are you using Venthyr ? Night Fae is BiS. So your issue is now gone.
You can’t have it both ways. “Unholy blight is BiS , it’s auto pick!” “I’ll just pick this not BiS covenant, but its ability is too similar to Unholy Blight!”.
I’m merely pointing out the obivous, that making a Covenant ability replace a talent makes no sense. It’s a talent, not everyone will be using it, so a Covenant ability cannot replace it.
