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.
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.
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.
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 .
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.
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.
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.
