Bladestorm

If there wouldnt be such abilites like, sweeping strikes where you purposely want to take down 2 enemies at once aswell right?

But yeah, lets just walk into spear + bladestorm with his teammate dk/dh cleaving there aswell, thanks for the tips.

Any more glorious tips?

As if i never played warrior… duh

Doesnt seem like you played from your comments. Shaking my head.

What has that have to do with bladestorm unhinged.
Warrior cant press sweeping during BS.
Here is a crazy tought:

  1. Jump in during bladestorm if friendly is speared to split damagw.
  2. Move away after bladestorm ends so you don’t get sweeping cleaved.
    Crazy counterplay, I know.

Again, reaching. What has warrior have to do with DH or DK?

Its actually around 45 seconds with anger management and the PvP talent. :partying_face::partying_face::partying_face:

are you serious?

cause arena is a dueling bracket, duh

Regarding to your post, there is no reason to argue with a warrior that never ever even reached 2k ever even in the most inflated season, trying to educate on Forums.

And your quality of comments and reasoning is just representing that

Stop talking about rating to a player 10x better then you please
Why am I talking to a player so trash that is hardstuck on 1800 rating as DH in soloque. You have zero knowledge about this game, zero skills. Better go pve.

what? hahaha

how can one hardstuck when you litterly just play it in soloq once to get the transmog?

qued it in the first week to gear and for transmog.

Besides that soloq isnt even a real bracket.

come back when you got some real rating in a real bracket please. Its not that hard to get 2k cmon.

Get 2.4k first on DH before talking to me again, otherwise I cannot take you seriously, sorry. I have seen backpeddler DHs who trinket first stun higher.

why should i even play a class im not really interested in, to 2.4 for a guy that never ever passed the 2k bracket.

Besides, its not about the rating alone, its enough to just watch your argumentation.

Would be interesting if Blizzard would make it possible to use Bladestorm while disarmed, so it’d spin but with no weapon equipped (hence reduced dmg output). It’d “outplay” the warrior if they’d press Bladestorm only for it to do no dmg, if you manage to disarm it before it’s used like that.
It’s not like they don’t signal it beforehand with the other stuff used before bladestorm, so it adds some mind games on top of it (i.e. not the ability called mindgames).

I mean, one of the goals is less scripted gameplay, right? Making it possible to disarm Bladestorm while it’s being used would just make it more scripted, but making it possible to “outplay” a warr by disarming it just before they press bladestorm would make it into a skill expression and hard to do consistently so it’d be less scripted.

Good point Bewarê , but Bladestorm has a restriction: Requires 2h melee weapon.

^ The first sentence in that post.

It doesn’t fit in the fantasy of warrior , using abilities without a weapon. I still agree with ur argument , removing the restriction of BS in order to have a scripted counterplay but it will bring other consequences like removing roots and slows while disarmed

For the record, it’s already possible to disarm before bladestorm, so it can already be countered that way. What making it possible to use Bladestorm while disarmed would add, would be getting the warr to waste Bladestorm by disarming it just before.
It adds a risk/reward-scenario where if you try to disarm a warr just after the warr uses Bladestorm then it’d be you wasting disarm, and if you do it too early then the warr can choose not to press Bladestorm while disarmed. So if you manage to disarm it just before the warr presses Bladestorm, then you’ll have managed to make the warr waste it.

Right now the game is just doing that part for you, making it so you can’t even press it while disarmed, so there’s no risk to waste it there. So doing that change, would turn it more into a skill expression for both sides, and thus less scripted.

Don’t really see that as a consequence tbh. What people want to counter is the bladestorm output, so if a warr wants to use bladestorm purely to counter CC or to LoS, then the warr is trading away that output for it so in essence it just becomes another skill expression.

I won’t really call more possibilities for skill expressions a bad thing.

Honestly I find it a bit silly that the combo Spear + bladestorm (which does a hella ton of damage btw) doesn’t have any counterplay.

Whenever I play monk for instance, and I get caught in a spear with the warrior bladestorming on me , man I feel so helpless :rofl: .

I’d pop double wall (Fortifying Brew + Dampen Harm) since there’s nothing else I can do, can’t move, can’t cc him, can’t do anything , and yet and he’d still remove 50-70% of my health during that combo. A bit silly.

Should at least be disarmable, indeed.

Did they remove the mobility counter? Where you pop a mobility just as it drags you back?

For the record though, they should just remove spear. Horrible ability design, borrowed power bull :poop: that they added to the talent trees/baseline.

So much hyperbole in this thread kekw. Dont know how yall can be doing this all day. Like bladestorm by itself does neglible damage, it does good damage when you take unhinged.

False. You can A) press defensives, B) several classes have counter abilties for it.

i guess so^^

The only thing i can tell you for countering only BS is either use ur mobility tools or use ur defensive abilities like evasion parry or ur wall. Also when badge , Avatar, CS ,Spear is used i suggest you pop ur defensives . Don’t forget u may have a healer on ur team and help you. You can either play with defensive trinkets if u find it right. Warrior uses 5 cds to pump you. What do expect? Facetanking and/or press 1 button and gg? Sorry that’s sounds stupid .Also we can be gripped during bladestorm.
