Can we get a post going there we all agree that the banner should be attached to the warriors back, like a blademaster.
I’ve seen countless of people saying so in yourube videos/comments and big warrior players telling it would be good/better if they made this simple change.
i agree but even then it will be the worst covenant… which is a shame because lore wise and transmog wise i wanted to roll necro… but but venthyr is too good so…FML right?
As a true casual Jimmy I’m fine with a lesser ability if I can get those other Necrolord goodies but it’s really a bummer to know exactly how AWEFUL the freakin’ ability is compared to the others.
I feel your pain. Level through the whole Maldraxxus yesterday and i was genuienly surprised how much i got to like the covenant. And their plate armor also looks great.
It’s such a shame that literally a warrior nation covenant is a garbage for the warrior class…I mean how much do you have to screw up to screw up something up like this.
i feel like they need to completely rework the banner ability, its nowhere near as competitive as condemn or spear of bastion, atleast ardenweald ability has some aoe potential
All the incarnations of this sucked on the PTR. Bad numbers, bad gameplay.
I think I’d rather the banner just spawned a bunch of skeletons to do some damage (maybe slow all mobs within the circle too). A poor man’s Army of the Dead if you will. This would be preferable to the nonsense Blizz have come up with so far.
If you want to spice it up a bit there could be a ‘Glory of Maldraxxus’ buff which would be a passive aura. You’d gain 1 stack for every mob you kill, or 10 for elites. At 30 stacks rather than summon skeletons it could summon something more entertaining. An abomination, Warlord Krexus etc.
Do I feel like necrolord warriors feel useless? No.
Underperforming, surely.
Certainly as the only Necrolord war around I can feel kinda unique which I think is kinda fun but when it comes to actual banner I would say I see what blizzard aimed for with that skill. It has a lot of potential for dungeons and in some encounters it can really shine. Not only it gives a health buff but also a dps boost to your allies which is always great. Playing as a support tank is my kink I think.
The whole glory buff sucks. In my opinion it should be an aura that stays with you until next usage of the banner. Maybe then warriors could be compensated for that ridiculous 3 minutes cooldown, which is fair by the way since a party wide defensive cooldown like that should have a long cooldown. But that really hurts the warrior in the end as we barely get any value for ourselves from the skill.
Fleshcraft’s 4 sec cast time is a terrible idea. In pugs nobody will ever wait for you to get your shield. Even in premades that happens. I’d love to see it reduced to 2 seconds. Maybe then it would even have a purpose midfight as the shield ramps up quite fast and can be used as a defensive cooldown, theoretically.
I’m sure they gonna change it a lot. I rolled necrolord cause it fits my warrior better although if I see that it is worthless until the end of the campaign then I will go venthyr .
Yeah it should have some unique effect to make it interesting.
Reduced rage cost could nice, would have to be different depending on spec but that’s already the case for some abilities.
Personally I’d like to see it give access to one PvP-talent for the duration similar to Conflict and Strife Major Essence.
I think that would fit the theme well as the military covenant and it would have some use in pvp by having an extra pvp talent.
Just a fun fact to add, when we do necrolord (maldraxxus) dungeons we get a banner on the back of our character when we pick up the versa buff, its so, blizzard stop mocking us, warriors arnt stupid bros…
