Soul Shred's cast time...

kalunte

Hi ZoS and fellow forum mate.

Since i dont know anyone who understand why a cast time have been put on this ult (beside ZoS will to destroy nb).

Since i can't remember the last time i've seen someone use it.

Could we please have that ult instant again?

best regards

No class balancing this patch. Please check back at the end of the year.

But I do agree.

well, they already changed the Synergy condition on this very skill, i guess they wont have to search for long where the skill is in the code, it shouldnt take years to remove unnecessary cast time without revamping the entire balance.

Agree. I've stopped counting how many times I've died due to this ultimate having a cast time. Both the cast time on death stroke (and morphs) and Soul Shread (with morphs) needs to go.

Vaoh

The spreadsheet says it’s balanced. So it’s balanced

Lol jk that is ZOS logic. The last time I saw this skill used was a few years ago when I tried it out to see the animation while grinding a character.

Soul Shred has cast time.
Death Stroke has cast time.
Teleport Strike cast time.
Grim Focus has cast time.

All supposedly "instant". Yet combat team added hidden cast times to all these crucial offensive skills and half the times they fail to fire or land because of them. Immersive gameplay.

Like how they nerf NB every patch

i'm addicted to cloak and shadow image mates T_T even if it makes the game teddious (because shadow needs to be strategically droped and puts you out of stealth while cloak gets broken from barely everything these days, including dmg proc sets like maelstrom 2h or sheer venom or any procset actually, you dont even need an enemy to break that *** xD)

Still, as a healing "oh *** button" or, for the dmg morph, with 66% of leap's initial dmg without any hit guarantee, a shorterer range, a higher cost and no passive attached to it.
Even considering it can be synergized by someone else and can have a beam dot/hot.

There isnt any need to put a 500ms castime on top of it. there has never been one beside testing the effects on putting cast time on some random skill from the most popular class (before it got nerfed to abyss and got strangely passed by templars in the love-meter).

you got your point, cast time are unhealthy for everyone, the skill just desapeard because of this cast time only.

And stamDK. I understand that people are still dying to leap de-syncs, but leap aside stamDK saw nothing other then nerfs in last 5-6 updates.

How ZOS reads this: Someone died to a nb ult, therefore further nerfs are needed.

kalunte

well, i think Qbiken was saying that he wanted to use the healing morph of soul shred but died during the animation instead. ^^
