DPS DOK NERF

[Kusunoki]

[Abilities]
DPS DoK: Curse of Khaine now only triggers off of direct damage abilities or autoattacks.



Congratulations, you just killed dps dok meta in warband play. Very bad decision.
I understand that Fell Sacrifice should not trigger Curse of Khaine, what is nonsense anyway because its cleansable.
Care to explain why Essence Lash and Devour Essence don't trigger Curse of Khaine anymore too? Those are clearly direct damage abilities. What a horrible mistake.
Devour essence just hits 4 targets, there is no need to nerf it.

Are you going to give Destro now a 15% heal increase tactic for the group, and a wounds buff for the group too?

Very disappointing.

Why not nerf healing abilities on DPS healing classes! If you play your healer as DPS then zero the healing capabilities and let them be pure dps

What? great...i rolled Dok for DPS in warband enviroment. Why u nerfind every character I touch? (Kotbs, WH now dps dok) I put kotbs and WH to rest already. Now I lost interest to level dok to lvl 40.

If Your itent is to lock dps dok more on single target I mut point there is WE which is miles better for this purpose.

DPS DoK + warband meta => WTF


the nerf was needed 6v6 was dominated by DPS DoK, nothing change in warband play, no serios warband take DPS DoK and for pug wb it doesnt matter anyway

Where is this is the patch notes? I don't see it

So right now the only dot that triggers Curse of Khaine is "Sanguiary Extension", why would this be left in and all others removed?

Obviously i'm very biased since DD DoK is my main now since months back and this change seems directly aimed towards my guild and mSH/mDOK setup, also the day before we are about to have our toughest fight in yet in bitterbowl

Curse of Khaine proccing off AoE abilities if the main appeal of the class and the biggest reason most people bring it to group. Nerfing it without notice and having any discussion beforehand seems rash and like whoever made the change was spammed to death by some very salty individuals. The class owns soloQ 6v6/6v6 in general due to lifetaps (RS). But at the same time it's an extremely easy kill target if you know how to properly CC/time interrupts.

Seems rash and not very well thought through.

Edit: I totally agree FS shouldn't proc CoK, but DE is the classes bread and butter when it comes to 6v6 and group play.

Hiding ability changes in hotfixes under spoiler tags isn't exactly the image of transparency, is it?

Also randomly doing it hours after a real patch during reboot to fix forts :*)

hotfixes are usually placed under spoilers in forum, but on the launcher you will see it clearly anyway
