A response to this:
[NEW] Titan’s Torment: While Avatar is active Rampage’s Rage cost is reduced by 20 and Bloodthirst’s cooldown is reduced by 1.5 sec
Removed: Activating Avatar casts Odyn’s Fury and activating Odyn’s Fury grants 4 sec of Avatar.
While I am glad to see Odyn’s Fury finally unshackled from Titans Torment. It has been a monkeypaw wish I had for a long time. I will dare to hope this:
Now that Odyn’s is its own standalone ability and doesn’t get the avatar modifer, nor can it be double-up’ed for that burst potential. It is a lot weaker and volatile than it is on current live. Friendly reminder that currently Odyn’s Values are: Double up Odyn’s every 1.5min, so you can remove 33% of total damage, and of the solo Odyn’s you can now remove avatar bonus - so another 20% of that chunk. That is just the lost value of the raw burst damage potential, not the followup avatar window that lined up with Bladestorm. This was quite the punch to the nose of the value this ability brings.
With these huge impacts, I really hope that Odyn’s will be allowed to itself hitting hard again - so it gets to keep up and stay relevant in M+ content, not mention becomes more fun to press!
So this is my dream: All TWW Odyn’s nerfs in essence reverted
That added, I kind of hope those damage buffs come through the nodes of the ability - to make it a more heftier investment and to make them matter more.
So while I am sad Odyn’s got slapped. I am really happy to see the potential world of the button unleashed from the Torment!
Press button, do a ton of damage is FUN!
