I am once more asking

Foxtrot39

Why everytime NB gets a rework its not the skill that needs it the most that always gets it

#MakeConsummingDarknessUsefullAgain thread N°288

LunaFlora

the skill you think needs reworking isn't the skill everyone thinks needs reworking obviously so that's probably why

Foxtrot39

Nobody asked grim focus or incap to get changed

Everybody called for cloack to be nerfed

Yet if you ask a NB what skill you would choose to rework most point towards the only ult that get outmatched by a passive

LunaFlora

i cant ever think of any skill i would want nerfed so i dont know who this everybody is.

what makes consuming darkness not useful currently? i find it pretty useful when i tank on a nightblade

It's strictly outmatched by Barrier for all purposes. And you can't compare it under any circumstances to Magma Shell, Ravenous Goliath, Gibbering Shield, or even Shield Wall.

Basically it's not useful because everything else is better.

Far starter, slot revealing flare and now you have the tanking utility (major protection) given by the ultimate to you permanently instead of 12s at the cost of an 200 ultimate

The AOE damage is basicaly as powerfull or a bit more than endless hail which is not bad if ,unlike endless hail, you could refresh it at all time too

Nobody run to the tank for a pressure relief and heal (synergy) even less so if doing trials

The snare while powerfull isnt that usefull due to the AOE needing all enemies to be in melee range to even affect them

Unlike barrier it has about no utility to save allies because they need to run up to you then use a synergy

If using veil of blade you just get a trash kill assist tool (and the most "usefull" morph of the ult), but you're a tank, killing trash isn't your job and neither are you efficient at it compared to a DD, slotting twisting path would give you a similar result as a cone AOE rather than a 360° one

And bosltering darkness only bolster crippling depression
