[Suggestion] removal of the recent damage reduction mechanic while ‘Furious’ for Choppa/Slayer

[CountTalabecland]

My thoughts haven't changed after more testing. Anyone else?

Same, the additional squishyness added to these classes was a terrible idea plain and simple. Berserk should be -25%, thats it.

Focusing on self-healing is the only way to tey to survive with this patch. If I wanted to focus on self-healing I would play WP or DOK dps.

Idk . The only thing slayers/choppas asked for, was a bit more of survivality.
and we get this...

I played the choppa this weekend the first time since the patch and I do like the changes to how the 2h playstyle now works. It makes more sense now.

But yes, I agree with the rest of the guys here. The changes to the squishiness moved the already worst mdps to dogsh*t tier.

So i went def sov set 800 toughness. Its okay solo but for anything else its useless because i am not doing enough damage. Its sad that they made Honor restored mandatory tactic to try to survive.

The armor of the defensive Sov set became worthless with this patch.

I know i was just trying to negate the effect of the patch i think the devs want us to slot armor talis and use +180 all resist potion to negate the effect of the furious. You watch, they wont change it back.

After a lot of testing, I also agree. Our damage is roughly the same as before, but our defense is much worse.

I believe the playstyle they want us to use is the self-heal Bloodlust (tactic) on exhausts and the Cooldown-Reduction Tactic. The challenge with that in trying to compensate for the additional incoming damage is:

-and KD and you're dead
-and disarm and you're dead
-if you're kited you can spam Wild Chopping for a heal but it won't overcome the damage, you just die slightly slower if a dot is on you
-made it complicated to play (not a higher skill ceiling complicated, but annoying complicated) because you have to GCD pots and stare at your Rage indicator all the time.


@Balance team, what is the harm in simply reversing the Yellow damage reductions and seeing how that plays out?
