When will Blizzard fix Reaver’s Glaive for Vengeance Demon Hunters? There have been quite a few mythic plus dungeons I’ve been in where I’ll pull a pack, throw a Reaver’s Glaive (because throw glaive turned into reaver’s glaive) and then watch the entire pack including those hit by Reaver’s Glaive just turn and run towards the healer. Reaver’s Glaive does a lot of damage but generates no threat. It’s hilarious to watch happen a few times but can really make a pull go sideways. I can’t be the only vengeance demon hunter experiencing this.

I haven’t talked much this season, but I’ve seen several times where the hunt doesn’t give me a reavers glaive. Both havoc and veng. Anyone else? Only with the hunt.
I’m not sure if it’s because I don’t have all talents but Aldrachi for Vengeance is super buggy. I proc the glaive but it only empowers a single Fracture. I also never get Thrill of the Fight. It’s extremely underwhelming and disappointing.
Edit: swapped talents to make it work but man. Can’t even use your capstone leveling - lol.
I think you may be misunderstanding how the talents work
Are you taking about needing both Fury of Aldrachi and Reaver’s Mark? Because the tooltip for Art of the Glaive says it enhances two abilities, SC and Fracture, and then Thrill of the Fight states once you consumed both enhancements….
It’s very poorly worded, and the fact you can talent into a non-working TotF is a poor development decision. It states nothing about Fury or Mark needing to be consumed, just “enhancements” which are mentioned everywhere.
i think a number of VDH’s abilities do not generate threat until actually in combat. sigil of flame is one of those.
This is among the reasons why infernal strike is often the first thing to do as the landing puts you in combat and then you can set your sigil of flame, hit immo aura, do your aldrachi stuff.
HOWEVER, you better have a defensive up heading in or you fall over.
i’d wager that every VDH has done that at least once.
but i also think that is another reason to take sigil of chains.
you pull them in and put yourself into combat, then everything else you do immediately generates threat.
dropping sigil of flames without threat does put the parry buff on the mobs even without the threat, but I think it is better if gather, then flame, then fel dev/immo/reapers/etc
just sigil of flames
but the rest of your observation is correct until the sigil of chains part. cause that sounds like a great way to get auto sync and explode, also kinda a waste of a talent point? if you can reach things with sigil of chains then you can reach it with immo, spb, feldev ect ect
you chains from a distance, get into combat, then flames for threat and parry buff. you can still be at range. chains is an amazing tool that let’s you pretend you are a BDK.
need to yoink priory mobs out of consecrate? use chains. got sniper mobs? chains 'em. misery another, imprison a third. but chains are your friend.
i know that you don’t think yoda is a very good tank, even though he is now rated #9 in the world.
his current build runs chains.
tanking is about mob control. I’ll take a mob control tool like sigil of chains whenever I can get it. for me, it is an easy trade with cycle of binding. not even a second thought about it.
the fact you brought a extra layer of clarity on how you used chains
gives me hope for chains users, cause frankly thats a very good way to use it if your not using it for stops. so props. its not the fact that chains isnt good, its a really good tool if you know how to use it and need it. most players dont, and often get themselves killed and leave thus bricking my key or get me killed.
my issues with yoda is irrelevant to the grand scheme of things. he can run any build he wnats because he has the team and time to make it work. its a testiment that you can get to cutting edge with any build. he is a great tank player because he knows routes, have the time, mechanics, and group leads alongside the stress of these high level content.
i just dont like the suggestions he does with vdh that trickles down to the at large population. this is a reasonable take.
cycle opf binding is also a good talent, i would probably drop extended spikes for chains if anything since you got alot of spike uptime already.
He doesn’t run any random build he puts some thought to his builds before testing it then compares to other builds. It’s called experiments. And players follow his builds because they are already tested products and verified by a good players. Your build is based on your paper theory and experience in low key, which have no value.
You don’t like because he doesn’t go along with your lowkey narrative or w/e you picked up from weekly no leaver classcords. He and you play different games, he doesn’t understand how a lowkey player struggles at key 8 nor you can understand what he has to deal with in high keys. You like it or not, none cares about lowkey player’s opinion because it’s irrelevant for their goals which is high key.
im not going through this again with someone who thinks warrior is weak to magic damage this season cause it takes more than 2 braincells to mitigate it
Kekw tell me how to mitigate magic dots, classcord fanatic “2% ST and 5% AoE nerf” bro ? Even a kid who can read the patchnote would know the nerf was 10% overall, and some dude only knows what classcord tells and parrots bs everywhere.
keep being bad at warrior, its tooootally dead despite it still doing huge amount of damages than the next tank
Lmao, can’t dispute about your classcord 2%-5% ? Surely, your lowkey prot war still pumps. I know, keys 8 are your entire world, I can understand your point of view.
Prot warrior being the number 9 tank in the game and bear being the second best tank in warcraftlog rankings. Said prot warrior still obliterating all the vdh in damage overal and boss dam too
Surely suuurely that means both specs are dead 
But what do I know? Surely these Warcraft log statistics are from people only doing 8+keys
Prot war is no longer the highest dps tank. “1.4M vs 1.2M” is called “obliterating” ?

Just because keys 8 are your entire world, it isn’t the same everywhere.
since you have trouble reading
warcraftlogs com/reports/M69LnNJbBVaYcZtx?fight=5&type=summary cinderbrew 16 vdh caps out at 2mil overal
warcraftlogs com/reports/Rdwgya2QZ4CWJVxb?fight=8&type=summary) cinderbrew 16 prot warrio caps out at 2.2mill
if you look at boss damage prot warrior is doing 1.6mill boss dam overal while vdh is doing 1.3mill
so yes. prot warrior is still doing giga damage, just because you cant press buttons doesnt mean the spec is doing less damage
using data websites like mythic stats or archon without fully understanding them is really telling. but what do i know? i only do level 8 keys while you flop over as a tank and cant even do half the dps of a good prot warrior who cant even break out of blue/purple parse hell as a tank in normal. hell on your only logged cinderbrew key 12 your doing 1mill less than other prot warriors doing the same key level. im sure if i look at every key, ill see you underperform in those too
How’s about this ?
Flood 16: https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/jF827BzK9DJq3yQZ?fight=3&type=damage-done - prot war 2 M dps https://www.warcraftlogs.com/reports/naTW9NMd68rJwc2x?fight=4&type=damage-done - VDH 2.164 M dps
just because your “weekly no leaver cords” telling you so doesn’t mean it is correct. I was personally taught by a classcord moderator that “you can’t macro charge and shield charge in one button because it would put either one of those on gcd” and “you should Avatar on pull for 10 rage to get Shield Block instead of Shield Charge, even if you still need to gather mobs and actually burst 10s later”, ". You need to learn an ability to think by yourself.

Dear classcord fanatic, I guess BDK is obliterating prot war right now, right ?
un able to fetch data. okay we’re done here
also replying on a disc priest with literally 4% parse to. probably to save yourself from the embarrassment that you need to get gud on warrior
