1. Why was Wall of Darting Steel mirror given to BG instead of BO? It's extremely strong for them since they have an instant AP regen ability and it synergises very well with their career resource. Don't get me wrong, You wot! is a nice ability and it's better than nothing but it's deeply flawed and I'd trade it for WoDS in a blink of an eye. Why?
- You Wot! has 30ft range which means that most of the time you will be using it on tanks or pets and not your actual targets because you need to activate the defensive bonuses and because of that the 10% damage bonus goes to waste.
- Can be only used on targets in front of you, therefore it's not really an effective escape tool when you compare it to flee+ap pot+WoDS.
- It has 10s downtime while WoDS has no cooldown nor activation time and while it has an AP cost it doesn't really matter since SM/BO have no AP problem due to THC/Ether Dance and other finishers costing no AP. Sure you can taunt to interrupt it but a smart SM will notice it and if you didn't CC the SM during that small period of time then he will just WoDS again.
- -20% movement speed for 10s. Mobility is the king and I don't need to explain how big of a downside this slow is. Yes I know you can Juggernaut out of the slow but that's still extremely annoying. I didn't know how bad -20% slow is until I started using You Wot!
- It leads to Da Gud plan which essentially fk ups your rotations.
If you don't want BOs to have both a stun and Not In da Face you could've just swapped NiDF with WAAAAGH! Unless there is other reason for that.
3. Why did SMs receive mid-distance punt but BO didn't?
You Can't Hit me, an ability which is used only in PVE, should go back to its previous place as a 13pt and we should be given the punt mirror.
4. Wings of Heaven
You are lucky because I'm not that upset over this since Distracting Bellow is a M2 now but the fact that this hadn't been mirrored for so long is just crazy. What would I give for a teleport with 60% snare attached to it, especially since the M2 of BOs is bad bad.
5. Why do SMs deal spiritual damage with Ether Dance?
This one is perhaps the most baffling. Yes, I know we orcs have our OP racial tactics and Morale Pumps etc. but I would gladly give those up for the possibility of dealing corporeal damage with my THC because we are living in the armour stacking meta. Here you can have my 25% CD, NIDF mirror and give me that sweet sweet magic damage.
What advantage do BOs have over SMs when it comes to 6v6s and smallscale other than NIDF?
