Turtle shell is the dumbest thing ever.
Are you a mage, sorcerer, pokemon perhaps? Wtf even is that…
It simply doesn’t fit, it makes no sense logically.
It’s sooooo stuuuuuupid.
So go ahead and redesign the survivability.
Give hunters for all I care 5 more charges of feign death and disengage that also heal you for 100% and dispel all everything. But this “wannabe paladin bubble” just doesn’t fit.
The only acceptable way is if you have a turtle pet and hit that panic button, the pet frees itself from all cc, charges to you and spins around you, deflecting all attacks and spells for a while.
But having a hunter snap their finger and ta-daa a magical nanotech wtf-bbq technoshield just appears… SO. STUUUUUUPID. bleeergh
Give them more feign death, disengage, side effects “momentum: can’t be hit by attack/spells for x sec after using because you confused the enemy so hard”, literally ANYTHING ELSE to compensate hunters survivability panic buttons, but remove the shield. Dumbest thing in the entire game.
Right after being able to disengage mid air without having any physical objects near you from which you leap off of… wtf is that about?
I mean the game is so goofy already, can we have a little bit of logical skill design and some laws of physics in play?
Replace the shell with “you are a ninja for 5 seconds” while the character poofs up in smoke bombs mimicking the enemy players every second making him untargetable and immunes to all attacks and spells…" SAME THING AS A SHELL but less STUPID.
I have always seen it as one of the worst looking spells in the whole game Generally speaking hunters (Well I can only speak about BM really) don’t have very impressive looking animations or abilities compared to some others.
It looks gimp I agree. I have more of a problem of using it and dying to a million bleeds anyway. Wish it would remove bleeds/ disease poisons or something. Evokers also seem to be able to hit us through it too.
As a survi hunter im using survival tactics to dispel magic efects with feign death and mending bandage to remove bleeds, poisons and diseases. So for example if I fight shadow priest and I see every ability is on me already I’ll pop turtle shell, then feign death to dispell everything (including mindgames), I’ll be feared because of vampiric touch but im shelled anyway and then pop bandage to clear last plague and heal 30% hp. With rogue its easy, hard counter to assasination. Turtle and bandage will remove every bleed and poison, death mark, kingsbane, weapon poisons, rupture, garrote etc.
