WHO THE HELL THOUGHT THIS ABILITY WOULD EVEN BE VIABLE?
I STUNLOCKED myself like 10 times into death in a +6, wtf blizzard.
If u actually want this as an ability in the game u HAVE to make it so u send a shadow image in or something. Being stunlocked by urself in a pve scenario should never ever happen. Extremely bad design
This woulndt work either of u end up standing in a random aoe that u dpnt have time to move out of. U need to be able to move ur character at all times or its gonna suck.
The problem is not the animation. The problem is that it regularly end in AoEs or cones that we did not start in originally. Its especially frustrating in mythic+, where positioning is important
well, an aoe might have spawned at that location while u are locked in animation - even if u return to the same spot hence being locked during anything is bad and wont work in m+ or raid. that aoe might just start exactly when u press the ability and just go of as u land back where u started.
Should never be locked, so yes - i would say the animation is bad even tho it looks cool. But if its not working nobody is gonna use it - even if it looks cool.
Speak for yourself please mr.MinMaxer. Many players still just playing GAME, and playing this way they likes. Im playing with KS no matter what, and many other people do the same. Replacing such iconic skill for combat with “death from above” or something else = devs addmit this game became MinMax hell, where you cant even THINK about playing the way you like cause of crying minmaxers.
Killing spree is iconic? When was that introduced?
I mean they’ve taken away iconic things before without a hint of care, I don’t see why they wouldn’t do it again.
In fact, there are some “iconic” rogue abilities I really wish they would remove. eyes shadow dance
I am not talking about minmaxing though?
Its bad game design to make a whole hero spec revolve around a volatile damage cd like ks…
Killing Spree takes any autonomy and simply locks you in an animation for 3sec, where you STILL TAKE DAMAGE, even though it is delayed.
You still get put in aoes and puddles where you take damage and then get spit out right infront of the boss where you get to facetank a sweep…
