DW needs some tweaks

1) That gap closer is interesting but feels in complete. Here's a possible change.

First press, grants major brutality without targeting anything. Press it again to activate it to a throwing dagger, aim and press again to launch it, press it three times to get to it's gasp close mechanism to close the distance.

Preferably just get rid of throw daggers and put a proper gap close.

2) Rapid Strikes/Bloodlust are sub optimal for a proper pressure build, no one runs them.

3)Spin to Win needs to turn into a proper single target execute. There's no good reason for an AoE execute.

    There is no such thing as ''pressure build'' in this patch, though I agree on all of your points but I don't know about the spin to win one. whirling blades is unfortunately too small to reliably hit people in PvP and the cost is too great for how little damage it deals.

    Little damage buff to Flurry. Bloodthirst seems fine, but Rapid Strikes is a bit lackluster. On my tool tip the damage difference vs Bloodthirst was only 1200, and that's halved in PVP. So there's no reason to run Rapid instead of Bloodthirst. In fact, there's no compelling reason to run Flurry at all. As far as spammables goes, it's behind class spams, Dizzy and even Silver Shards.

    Hidden Blade is a wonky skill at best. Much like Flurry, no one really uses it in PVP. Is this skill a spammable as well? For a little while I used Shrouded Daggers as sort of AOE-type attack but now the damage is too low for that, and even before it wasn't very ideal. Maybe a complete rework is in order. Major Brutality is the key word here.

    Blade Cloak is fine. Blackrose DW is the problem. Maybe differentiate the morphs a bit. Add more damage to Deadly etc.

    Whirlwind is fine IMO. AOE execute is what makes DW intriguing.

    Twin Slashes otherwise fine, but the nerf to DoTs ruined the skill. Buff the DoTs, please.

    Aye. I think they need to be their attack speed and movement speed ramped up for Rapid/Bloodthirst.
