Hey DHs
I’ve picked up Vengeance not too long ago and am enjoying it vastly when tanking. I’m well aware several changes loom on the horizon in SL such as the gluttony build changing effectiveness a lot and spirit bomb probably returning to the fore. I played vengeance a bit in Legion so I’m not averse to spirit bomb.
One thing I’ve looked at and can’t fathom is Bulk Extraction. Now I haven’t got beta so I don’t know how this ability feels, but it seems… underwhelming? A 90 second cooldown to deal some AOE damage and chomp 5 souls seems very underwhelming for the cooldown.
I understand it generates these souls as well as consuming them so it differs from Spirit Bomb and Soul Barrier in that regard in that it doesn’t eat current souls you have stored to process the healing, it’s just in top, but still. Given those abilities can also consume 5 souls as well as produce other effects, it just feels a bit naff.
I’m reading it as effectively 90 seconds to heal for 5% of max HP or 30% of damage taken, plus some damage. There’s some synergy with feed the demon granted. But it feels pretty underwhelming compared to the other tier picks. Any beta vengeance users offer clarity on this abilities possible utilisation or maybe something I’m missing?
