with ddh your build is REALLY important, also main thing that made it easier for me was changing my mindset, when I tried to play it like I dh I kept fumbling but once I started playing i tlike I would play my mage things have gotten a lot easier. What build did you go with?

Here is my character https://worldofwarcraft.blizzard.com/en-gb/character/eu/magtheridon/smradec/

oh you are level 22 yes..at that level you can’t do much—just try toplay it like a caster than a dh, at last level it gets MUCH better, in pve caster build is nice, if youa re planing for pvp melee build is better. Try to focus on talents that shatter extra soul fragments in early levels, and the talent that makes it so that finishing a channel of void ray makes it so your reap drains more souls.

At the bottom of the talent tree you can pick Soul Glutton to make the requirement for Meta 35 souls instead of 50. Before you get this talent, I wouldn’t even bother playing Devourer.

This spec was very much made with max level in mind. Almost feels like how Rogues used to feel while leveling. At least DH gets two other specs that feel a lot better to level with.

thx for reponde will do respect until I hit max lvl maybe best tactic

Playing this spec seems to be like riding a dead horse. In pvp either you one-shot or get stuned, others become immun or port away. They are getting now used to the one-shot mechanism. Outside of this meta the devourer hits like a wet noodle. The rotation is awful. You must survive the cooldown to wait for the next hunt. This is not fun.
And when blizz would nerf the burst window then what will be left for the spec? Nothing. It will end up in a mid-range caster mythic+ spec. No buffs, no snares, no cc beside of one stun, darkness that is a complete joke as a def.

I played devoker when it was released. It took for the devs the whole dragonflight expansion till this spec got fixed. But with the devourer there is nothing what they can fix. The spells are missing where the they could make adjustments.
It was a nice idea with this spec, good graphics design but I see no future for it in pvp. I will only increase my arena rating with the devourer then I will switch to my warlock or maybe mage. Sad because the concept of this class is nice.

yeah in beta it was the same, during first few weeks everyone was complaining about how op it was but once people got used to it, class became a doormat x’D legit soon as you see em turn into a 7 feet demon, pop a defensive or root them, and wait 3 seconds, they hit like a wet noodle after with no healing.

Even as a ddh you can avoid their burst, wait for the hunt press vengeful retreat before it hits you, gievn it makes you immune to cc, they land where you WERE instead of where you are, you can avoid their burst window like that.

Yeah its still so early, its not even midnight yet. The spec isnt fully fleshed out yet. Im quessing they are looking for feedback from the community to look what direction they are gonna take with the spec. I mean we dont even have the apex talents yet so most of the ppl havent even been able to play it with the most important rotational talents.

Blizz seems to be buffing devourer.

I hope it will feel better. Not that I have tried devourer in any other content than some tier11 delves. In those, the dps feels really slow. While moving around to collect those souls, mobs constantly move in odd places, like behind you where you might lose a cast. Very little aoe to clear packs.

Honestly, there is absolutely no reason to play devourer over other available specs that actually do dps and feel functional.

They should have released it in “functional” state. As in, not missing some critical part like apex talents. Those should be bonus to some base state, but it was designed to fill a hole. The other specs dont have this problem. They work and I assume the apex talents will be a bonus. Missing those now does not feel like spec isnt complete.

edit: Just looked at the blue post. I think the buff should be in already. I only noticed the blue post today and I tried devourer again earlier today. It still felt bad. :confused:
