slayer ???

Post#1 » Thu Feb 18, 2016 8:25 am

after some analysis of the class i came to the conclusion that this is a mix between a fury warrior and a rogue (FOR THOSE WHO PLAYED world of warcraft , you will know) and yet i was wondering and asking myself at the same time , what is the purpose of the skill "SPINE CRUSHER" ? then why would some one ever use "precarious assault" ? and least but not last , is rampage some kind of buff that can be activated when the conditions are met or do i need a target ?

1) To smash things that aren't facing you.
2) To smash something, at the cost of making you easier to smash.
3) I don't think you need a target, no. Take that with a grain of salt.

no one uses precarious assault ^^ (it does way to little dmg for the malus you get)

Spine crusher is great if you spec most of the mastery points into the Trollslayer tree, its costs a bit less AP and has higher base damage then Pulverising Strike.
Precarious Assault is garbage, low damage and a self debuff, bleh.
Rampage doesn't require target and could/should be cast in yellow rage zone, even if disarmed.
Six thousand years of grudges in a short muscular drunken angry greased up orange ball of rage with a mohawk - that's what Slayer is, wow classes can't even compete :mrgreen:

I think its the direction to go with class skills in general, but doubt that Precarious Assault would be changed into something useful, aside being the only dump-rage ability until lvl6, simply because slayer in general is quite strong.

Maybe instead of getting 5% incoming crit debuff it could buff armor penetration for 5%, but that's just my fantasy :)

When you play a glass cannon slayer lots of people run away from you, so you knock them down and crush their spine. Just because not every skill is amazing or the best doesn't mean it needs to be fixed or made more appealing.

So is an AoE slayer supposed to use only AoE attacks? Because you actually have a lot of tools around lvl 35.

Used ID as a single target dot ignore the aoe part. ID is the best back loaded damage slayer has and the main reason their DPS is so high.
