Hi, time to get rid of the funny dk zoo casting ams all the time. I don’t need to (hopefully) explain why it is unacceptable to proc magic immunity for free just by existing. Yes I know this will get reduced by 50% in pvp on wednesday, but the mechanic is fundamentally broken and has to be changed.
Change horsemen’s aids to a damage absorption shield proc instead, it can’t be proccing a major defensive cd left and right. If you need further convincing, just remember that spellwarden was deleted because it made dks simply not be a viable target for casters. This new talent has the very same issue, but even worse.
the AMS from horsemens aid is 80% effectivenss already, currently my own AMS stops about 2.4m magic dmg n the horseman one 1.92m, after the nerf that´ll be less than 1m shield on a 45s cd so its not going to be super impactful.
I think the main advantage of it is that it blocks magic based CC n prevents dots from being applied more so than the damage absorb itself.
That being said, i dont like it either. DK is feeling quite tanky in TWW which feels fantastic as the class has been a glass cannon for several expansions now which doesnt fit the theme at all but im fundamentally against passives like that which doesnt require any kind of player input as it promotes a degenerate dps race playstyle.
Ontop of that DK has always done quite well against magic damage n historically struggled against physical damage so it makes no sense to buff the defensives against that which its already strong against as the whole rock paper scisscor hardcounter design isnt good gameplay.
