I still like pounce. Caught some healers on higher terrain or while they ran away but I'm not using vb (its crap in my opinion) in any rotation and when the enemy is running pounce only works together with oyk but so its really usefull for me. I can ignore collision and jump on higher terrain I normally can't reach that fast without the enemy running away. It's important when to use it then its a good thing. I had some awesome moments with pounce.
At the end I would prefer having it as its own spell, maybe a 4th opener with snare or something. Using it out of stealth is a restriction im ok with cause without it would be to strong in the whole context. But with this restriction I wish the distance would be up to 45 feet.
Something im interested in... what's the experience of order players when got pounce by Witch Elves?

Re: [WE] Feedback on new TA "pounce"
Did not really experience WE pounce in oRVR, but in ranked it seemed helpful for niche ability it was designed to be. I don't really think WEs needed more mobility, but if devs took this direction with class it probably ok. Most importantly it synergizes better with ST WE than aoe debuff on ST WH, which seems forced to kind of add viability for class, but did not really achieve it.Rumpel wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 8:11 pm I still like pounce.

Re: [WE] Feedback on new TA "pounce"
That's an important point. In my experience pounce is a good thing in scenarios... normal, ranked or city. Its more fitting in group play here. In oRVR when roaming not.Sundowner wrote: ↑Tue Jan 26, 2021 8:23 pmDid not really experience WE pounce in oRVR, but in ranked it seemed helpful for niche ability it was designed to be.

Re: [WE] Feedback on new TA "pounce"
OP pretty much nailed it. For me the most annoying part are:
- Using TA in melee range still activates pounce, and if you are too close I found that you pounce (again, long animation) and end up in front of your target with your back to the target - and you can't turn around until the pounce animation finishes. This is really frustrating as it completely ruins your opener, making TA almost unusable.. even at melee range.
- The pounce requires stealth, meaning it either requires a 2 second channel without being hit by anything (really unlikely in a fight) or the use of Elixir of Shadows (EoS).
Stealthing mid fight using Shadow Prowler (SP) is usually an excercise in futility, as it is so easily interrupted, making the use of pounce in mid-fight using SP not feasible.
If not in mid-fight and successfully in SP, chances are that your victim is unaware that you're approaching. In this case, the pounce doesn't matter as you can just walk close to your target undetected.
If in mid-fight and instead using EoS to access stealth, using pounce is worse than just running to your target. EoS gives a speed boost allowing you to reach your target by running to it, using TA in stealth breaks the speed boost and is actually slower than running to the target.

Re: [WE] Feedback on new TA "pounce"
Still a very bad skill..
Balance Changes
- Treacherous Assault: The 30ft pounce component has been removed from this ability.
-NEW: Shadow Leap: A 30 ft pounce 'opener' core ability that additionally snares your target on landing.
The worst part is the pounce on it.. I would rather have just the 5 seconds snare. I already unsoloted it.
The question is what TA pounce is trying to accomplish?
Dont want to be rude or anything.. but its feels wasted resources and time. If anyone need help with WE skills.. feel free to PM me in game. I have some good ideas without being OP like WH armordebuff.

It was moved to a separate skill so you can calmly ignore it if you're unable to make any valuable use from it. I assure you there are a great many witch elf players who don't seem to share your dilemma.Krima wrote: ↑Tue Feb 02, 2021 12:06 pmStill a very bad skill..

Would like to read any positive feedback on this ability.

Just give WE an out-of-stealth pounce to with the berserker acrobat nature of the class.

Re: [WE] Feedback on new TA "pounce"
This is clearly an Order player. The pounce has no intended usage and is purely pointless. Mirror a WH w/the armor debuff. What's so hard about that? -StabyzWhyumadbro wrote: ↑Wed Dec 30, 2020 10:48 am In my opinion the we pounce makes the we a overall better class, in city they just shredded our heals, while wh slowly gets a dps support wich is also nice. WE is in a pretty good spot atm, i think the devs did an outstanding job!
on the other hand order needs a little help with some speccs
