I just started playing a DH and I am at lvl 103 questing in Legion.
I haven’t played WoW for about 8 months. So I don’t remember that clear.
But it seems this class is overly squishy and the damage output is just lackluster.
I remember with my paladin I could pretty much auto-attack and win, with this 1v1 the mob deals more damage to me than I can heal with the orb on kill.
As this is the case, I have read it’s more useful to pull 3-4 mob groups and “aoe” them down. However, when doing this I have to blow almost all my CDs to not instantly die from mob damage.
The only skill I dont always use is metamorphosis. However, even when hitting all the mobs with the skills/CDs they go to max 33% health left, in which I can’t use any proper damage spells and simply die.
Is this class just overly gear/end-level dependend, or are specific talents needed to make it viable?
For now, it just seems like a disappointing class looking at survivability and damage compared to most other classes (I’ve played pretty much every class).
Hope someone could elude me what’s going on. (git gud answers will be ignored).
Why not? Isn’t that what gives you leech? (Then damage == some portion of healing).
Pretty sure I used Demonic and Soul Rending when leveling (been a while though). Gives quite a nice selfsustain. Didn’t have real issues, not even against nasty elites.
I do not have acces to Soul Rending yet. And Meta is a really nice cooldown, but it’s 4m long. Can’t wait 4min between every fight :<
A mob that attacks me here does about 5-10% damage per hit. As you could understand, a little bit of leech (I guess even with Soul Rending, but not sure can’t check yet) won’t make that much of a difference.
It’s just that the damage output and receiving damage seems so much less properly done compared to the other classes I’ve played.
I will probably try playing this DH again later, but was simply wondering if it’s that heavy gear/talent dependend.
I honestly forgot DHs don’t instantly have access to all talents and abilities under 110. Still didn’t have any issues then either. The damage was quite good actually. Unless they scaled it weirdly now.
I would go Demonic Appetite or whatever it’s called in the first row. The one that spawns orbs during Chaos Strike. Really important for self heals.
It’s true, and I recall it when leveling, that we don’t really have any self heals while fighting mobs. Meta is on an extremely long cd ( what’s up with us being the only class with 4 min cd?? ).
