The announced changes don’t actually fix any of the problems the community have with the class. The new eyebeam talent is not going to help with how many buffs we have to maintain to keep up with our rotation, alongside making Aldrachi(The worst hero tree in the game, btw) almost mandatory.
The nerfs to fel scarred and capping our targets, darkness being 2 nodes, CoH change is only going to give us maybe 3-4 eye beams extra per fight(if it’s a very long fight), our defensives are weak and blur is a joke in endgame content, and a lackluster tier on top of it. No matter how much you buff our class, the design is objectively flawed and we’re stuck expansions behind every single other class in the game.
Aldrachi will still feel incredibly bad to play, because it is centered around playing another mini game of collecting orbs or using fel blade even when we’re resource capped, and it will ALWAYS feel bad to play in its current design. There’s nothing else to be said about that tree, it’s just complete trash design. Not to mention we have to fit other things into this window of collecting orbs that may or may not spawn.
I don’t understand how after a year of no changes to our class, that THIS is what you come up with and think “they’ll love that”. In this same timespan, mages and paladins have had their talents reworked 4-5 times. Really not sure how you can be this bad at your job, and still be employed. Considering the two classes you work on(our dev), are both bottom of the barrel classes in almost every aspect.
Let them cook, it’s already been confirmed there’s more changes coming and this is only part 1 or more, I agree it’s not enough, I agree we need a rework, but… at least we’re getting some attention finally lol
idk, I understand this concept that you’re going for out of kindness, but from everything I’ve read the last couple months on here, it sounds like that was exactly what was done during the beta (giving feedback, let them cook, etc), and this is where we’ve ended up ever since.
I’m normally never one to be on these forums, but I’ve felt so bad that I’m just holding my friends back from actually timing 12+ keys easily. They’ve basically carried me through what we have accomplished at this point and it has me on here now monitoring it ever since to see if it’s just me or not and if any changes are coming.
Sometimes what you really need to do is just throw a real, full blown fit, or you’ll always be left with these half-hearted, fake attempts at change.
I agree, but now we’re finally seeing more than just percentage buffs… like the new throw glaive talent! And it’s been confirmed there’s more to come. So now all we can do is sit back and wait.
From the looks of the changes so far and the gaps they have created, I have no doubt that they are planning some sort of game play change. Now what worries me is we went thru this at the start of SLs. They had all of beta to prefect the new “unbound chaos” playstyle that was pulled like 2 weeks before launch because they couldn’t work it out. It wasn’t until season 2 before they finally launched it.
the new cycle of hatred causing eye beam to desynch with essence break seems like its going to absolutely suck. they need to either do something else or put essence break also on the new cycle of hatred so it reduces both.
the amount of rotational cooldown holding and desynching havoc is already asked to put up with is complete nonsense. adding more will make the spec even more miserable. it’s like the designers dont understand the relationship between multiple overlapping buff windows and skill cooldowns and just treat each skill or buff as its own walled garden.
Calm down, for once I’m trying to be positive because there’s more to come lol. Look at all my old posts, I was right there with you guys. Chill until we see what else is coming!
Bruddah , its time to let go.they had their chances to cook and they royally blew em away
At this point just reroll and stop hoping. DH design has been shoite for so long ,plus it has been shioite when stuff are relevant.
Sure you can check wcl now and telle its not all that bad, but who tf cares when the actual season has ended. Atm no HoF is happening or real push,its just leftover wanna be CE guilds or whatever push at this point
I think the time for calm has passed. We let them cook, and this is what they came up with. It’s pathetic that we let them cook for a year, for this to be their changes. It’s actually pitiful, we absolutely need a new dev. Realz just isn’t cutting it, for monk or DH. He works on both classes, and they’re both just bad in almost every aspect. It’s time to replace this guy with someone who actually does their job. The time for calm was during alpha/beta, now is the time to call for this dude’s job to be vacant.
shocking idea I know.
I’ve been patient, I’ve been angry. What’s the point in either then? Just wait and see, 11.1 isn’t here yet, I’m waiting. Not hoping.
