Can Flurry get some love

TheBonesXXX

Flurry in comparison to other spammables is not up to snuff. It doesn't have overloaded functions not does it do damage without maelstrom.

Some thoughts on improving it are reducing channel time and adding a few additional strikes.

So it can act like a proper ripsaw on actually pressure people. PLz and TY.

I would like to point out. That other skills like Dizzy have good damage, cheap, and have muti functions and very low skill floor for high reward.

I'd like to see Flurry and s/b, bow as good options.

Options over the brawler style in ESO. It's too simple and easy.

Reducing the channel wouldn't really help because of GCD, better to make the channel more weave friendly and increase the damage of each tick. The skill does need some help and I would gladly try it if it were buffed a little since I'm currently testing out a bunch of different non-Dswing setups on stamsorc. Nothing can really replace Dswing

They could always add the attack speed buff back.

These low input/ high output set ups are boring.

Rapid Strikes morph does as much damage as other spammables, if not stronger than other spammables because of DW passives. The only issue is that it's *** hard to get all hits in PvP, but in PvE it's as strong as other spammables. By the way, Maelstrom DW doens't increase Flurry damage.

I should be more precise, maelstrom makes flurry some what effective as flurry is a lackluster ability stand alone. Dizzying swing as an ability holds its own.

Flurry doesn't hold its own in PvP.

Make it aoe cone like jabs.

The sensible option.

The weird part of the skill is that it doesn't feel like a spammable due to the short range and channel time. Twin slashes feels more like an authentic DW spammable and, with the right setup, I understand that it can be pretty effective as this. Flurry as an aoe dot just fits more with the animation and play style of flurry.

I second the aoe cone idea. Its biggest problem imo is not the damage, it's actually landing the strikes

The cone could work. Should flurry get a secondary effect?

Eh. It still doesn't have a great secondary effect.

Make it a small cone AOE that only hits the closest target. Maybe bonus damage from flanking too.

Flanking is interesting.

I feel like 2H attacks should generally be slower but harder hitting while DW should be able to attack faster / more frequently but with less damage per hit, but with equivalent DPS if all hits land. Maybe there would be serious problems with that; I just think it would be fun to have greater variety in feel / playstyle and not just different animations for the exact same result.

Aye. Flurry is DPS and not burst.

Its counter parts have more additions and are "over loaded".

I just want it a bit more viable.

I think Flurry could get a lunge through effect let Flurry keep it's melee range, but then give it an extra few meters of a lunge/run through.

The werewolf jump has a leap than secondary bleed, it shouldn't be so hard to code.

In no way stronger than other morphs. Rapid does 11k~
Crystal weps does 10k+1000 pen and is insta cast.

Its incredible how many years have passed and the skill is still weak.

Same for rending slashes its weak.

Two handed atm dance on dw grave.

Only good thing dw has is crit dmg on daggers and ugly deadly cloak.
