Casual gameplay in the overworld, and throughout old content feels dreadful without Demon’s Bite. Ordinary transmog runs and questing leaves us completely starved of Fury and entirely reliant on Vengeful Retreat and Immolation, as Demon Blades doesn’t trigger its Fury generation on instant kills.
Demon’s Bite is an excellent pick for a choice node, and should always be at the basis of the Havoc skill-tree.
What is the point of the revamped Dragonflight Skill Trees if we don’t have any choice at all to begin with? The decision between Demon’s Bite and Demon Blades is quite literally a perfect example of a meaningful choice-node.
The gameplay of Havoc genuinely feels significantly hindered, and absolutely terrible without Demon’s Bite as an optional fury melee builder.

I fully agree, its literally removed the filler/opener for general combat for no reason. Fel blade’s cooldown is too long to use instead, and throw glaive feels like your’e doing nothing

Firmly agreed, Demon’s Bite should never have been removed. No class should have to focus on an auto attack to generate it’s resource, I’ve been trying to run older raids on Havoc today and it just feels awful. Bring it back Blizzard!

Fully agree! I am also a casual DH player and it was the only mele class I play! The filler spell was the ONLY thing making mele classes fun for me because I get to enjoy pew pew blades on mobs. Now it feels like dump all ur CD and stand there doing nothing. It is NOT fun at all! They need to change it back!

How about NO,Demon bites in mythic plus and raid would only slow our dps.
I agree. Would wish they would give it back to us. Prefer Demons Bite as a generator over auto attacking every day.

Then you can opt into Demon Blades with a Choice Node where it belongs. Then the rest of us can upgrade our Demon’s Bite.
See how that works? Having choices and choosing how we play. It’s a delightful thing. If only the Talent Trees supported such meaningful decisions, as they once did.

Did you played with Demon Bites when it was optional to choose?
I’ve played with Demon’s Bite since Legion.
And I played with Demon’s Bite till it was forcefully removed a precious few days ago.

I always played demons bite. I didn’t care that it was suboptimal in some ways.
- for me it was more fun
- it was more deterministic fury generation
- when doing questing or low level raids, etc it was a really handy spam ability to cut through easy targets.

It breaks my heart to see Blizzard min-max the fun out of the Havoc Specialization.
Demon’s Bite was such a fun and active ability that provided a meaningful gameplay loop. The good ol’ reliable always available when Fury was expended.
