I made a post a little while back, asking about DH self-healing… Where I talked about playing DH in BFA, where it felt incredible since it had soul orbs dropping left and right while fighting, which meant I always had healing incoming.
However, a patch (or two) ago I tried DH again in Shadowlands, and it felt BAAAAAAD… Apparently soul orbs had been nerfed to the ground, and even with the Demonic Appetite talent chosen it RARELY dropped any orbs.
Basically DH was unplayable as a “solo class” against stronger mobs, or 1v1 in PvP. And everyone’s answer to me wanting to play DH, was “go as Vengeance instead”… Which for obvious reasons isn’t really a solution when I wanna play as a DPS DH. 
But today I tried DH again, and with Demonic Appetite chosen I noticed that we now have a orb dropping every 2-3 hits, making it MUCH better than last time I tried DH here in SL…
I tried looking it up on the latest patch notes, but from what I could tell they didn’t change DH at all. Which makes this all the more confusing hehe…
So I’m basically just asking around now to hear if DH was in fact buffed when it comes to self-healing? 
It CLEARLY has more orbs dropping now, but I’d like to see the patch notes if there are any.
(Returning after more Havoc gameplay)
Yup… Soul orb drops definitely went from dropping every 8-12 Chaos Strikes, to now dropping every 2-3 Chaos Strikes…
Even if there aren’t any buffs noted in the latest Havoc class changes, Soul Orbs has most certainly been fixed one way or another.
Appears DH is playable again, so I’ll be picking DH up again.
