Game doesn’t need this, but we still have to it it

I watched a Stam necro kill the guy holding volendrung and his friend on YouTube. I don't know if the guy holding volendrung was a total noob or if Stam necro is really op but volendrung didn't seem that great.

You are just moving battering ram and sitting duck with volendrung. No self-, or vampiric heal, so without pocket healer or very specific super-tanky-self-healing-from-sets build couple of guys will put you down in several seconds. But you may crush wall or door in literally 10-15 seconds.

That kinda sucks then I see people losing this thing to emp groups/ball groups rather quickly and the map becoming even more one sided.

I thought it made you some sort of unstoppable juggernaut that could fight entire zergs but that does not appear to be the case.

i saw the original video but never tested it in PTS, but last night i finally got in after patch 5.0.1 where they did nerf it, and wow...


it's underwhelming. i can't even down 3 NPC outside the gate that come running after i blow up the wall in under a minute.



HOWEVER in hind sight, this is a good thing. a group running around with Volundrung will be crazy powerful, but one dude fighting the whole zerg will massively OP anyway..............


but yeah, a couple good placed Snipe shot will take out Volendrung user easily... remember the action bar got completely replaced... no wings for DK, no self-heals, etc......

I was on PTS just this afternoon playing with it, and was able to take out some of the guards near the corner towers of one of the keeps. However, the moment I entered a keep to see if I could take it, I got nailed by the guards inside. This is far from a god mode weapon that I'd seen people worried it would be. Without a self heal and a shield, it's going to be tough for one person to take on a big group on their own. In a ball group it could be a problem, but those groups usually get into keeps easily anyway now.

I tested it on my MagDk and can block cast with that thing. What I didn’t like was it replaces your bars so you can’t use your own skills and buffs, particularly the heals or even switch to your tankier bar. Though 40k all stats and their lil buff and block casting makes it pretty all right on a MagDk.
