Unbound Chaos nerf

Hey lads. I literally just started playing WoW and have been playing through Legion with a DH. The class was enjoyable, but felt extremely weak. Picked up the Unbound Chaos talent and absolutley loved it - a skill based bomb is great. It kept me playing. Now it’s gone - what am I missing? Is DH unbelievably broken at max level or soemthing? I really don’t understand what’s going on here. Surely it was a mistake that they removed it? My fel rush is garbage now and I can’t be arsed playing the class

Who knows, it is apparently a stealth nerf as I cant see anything anywhere about it. Huuuuuge stealth nerf though, totally changes the entire talent from amazing to garbage. I’m really not sure if it is intended or not?

So what talent do we use instead?

Is it better to take Glaive Tempest and Cycle of Hated, or is First Blood + Trail of Ruin the higher dps option?

Edit:

It seem’s like such a huge nerf. It’s barely doing 70% of Glaive Tempest despite having a longer cd, and still barely reaching 75% of Trail of Ruin usage in the same cd period…

Is there a reason why anyone would take this over the other options?

Glaive tempest was nerfed as well which is hilarious. It’s only good if you pump into mastery. They were supposed be moving away from that (Eye beam playstyle) but no we’re back. Such a waste of time levelling this class!

Dh was overnerfed.

They should have made demonic and demonic appetite baseline, it fits so well anyway.

The demonic nerf to 6 seconds is bad.

I guess, wait lvl 60, dh seems to has the most powerful covenant ability compared to others classes (imo)

That’s definitely not what i was looking for.

I would rather have an awesome baseline class with a really bad covenant, than the contrary.

Ya i know, but since the begining DH is extremely dependant from borrowed power.
our gameplay is the same as bfa so if u enjoyed ur dh in BFA, u’ll still probably appreciated it.

Obviously it’s not as strong as before, but I’m quite enjoying Blind Fury, Glaive Tempest, Cycle of Hated, and Demonic, with 40% mastery.

Do miss the healing from Demonic Appetite though…

Could anyone tell me what is the strongest talent choices for M+ is now? I feel nerfed as f*** and got my a** kicked in M+ in my first run today. I did 1k DPS below average. Did 2,5-3 k in average in M+ to 1.5 K DPS wtf? How am i supposed to push keys with that?

yeah i wrote a post about this 2 days ago and just for the dmg to be the same as unbound chaos was it need 1078% fel rush dmg buff not 300%, if they dont change it i believe this talent will end up as old fel mastery = Never used for anything

400 or 500% more damage on Fel Rush would be the best solution there I think.

I mean the nerf was obvious, the dps from unbound chaos was huge compared to others talents in the same row. But yes they should buff the new one a bit now.

I agree.

Totally agree with this. Updated WoW today and went to play my DH as usual, since it’s my favorite class, even though it’s been heavily underperforming compared to other dps classes at the same ilvl.

Today I was just doing my dailies, used my Unbound Chaos and was like… huh?.. That was weird, nothing happened… I check patch notes, see nothing… Only when I went to unofficial patch notes on WowHead did I find that the talent was nerfed to hell

Why the hell Blizzard?.. It was such a good talent and helped DH keep up with other DPS classes. Now DH is utterly useless and underperforming in M+. Come on. At least don’t make it a stealth nerf

Yeah, I take it back… This is pretty crap…

Not fun at all…

Dont know why they do not bring back the good old bloodlet talent :confused: this was fun back then
good in aoe and still viable in ST through Motg

What I would give for Glaive Tempest baseline, in spot of Glaive Tempest Talent Slot you get the old explosion for it from the Deceiver Warglaives Artifact.

First Blood Baseline, in spot of First Bloods slot Bloodlet.

Fel Rush Unbound Chaos damage changed from x3 to x5 or at the very least x4.

Give another 5% leech to Soul Rending or even baseline 10% Leech back and I would be so happy with this Class.

I wonder why they didn’t mention that change since its such a bomb.

Besides all that was already mentioned, I really dislike the fact that this talent feels like literally nothing happens. After dashing behind the enemy you dont even see the (very slightly) increased numbers, whilst inner demon had cool visual and it felt quite cool.
