wow Demon Hunter Class Changes on the Shadowlands Beta for November 4th

[Staff 1,366]

The Fodder the Flame Covenant ability is getting changes on the beta this week.

Demon Hunter (source)

We changed Fodder to the Flame in this week’s Shadowland Beta build.

The primary feedback we received concerning this ability was the constraint of the demon pool, particularly for Havoc. Though it is a considerable limitation to the ability, deciding where to place its benefit is a unique characteristic of the ability compared to the other Covenants.

But we realize that Demon Hunters do not want to be confined to a specific location for a long time. So, we’re shortening the duration of the pool and limiting its benefit to a damage reduction while increasing the offensive benefit of the Demon Soul.

Thank you for your feedback!

It's still a crappy Covenant Ability compared to the other 3.  Even on Beta testing you had to kill the demon, receive the buff, stay in the pool.....the problem is by the time you set it up the trash is either already dead, you need to move to evade a particular mechanic, and you wasted cooldowns to set this up.  Blizzard needs to either scrap the damn thing completely or figure out another way to make this beneficial for both Havoc and Vengeance.

One of the most mobile classes have the most things requiring them to stand still *filtered*. Darkness, fodder, soulbind conduits, so many things theyre trying to force, on top of trying to force you to use your utility for damage lol
