Obsidian Shard

SpazzmanNDQ
Does anyone think that Obsidian Shard should always heal the caster? I think that its a kind of dumb skill the way its set up currently healing the closest ally.

I'm using it on my stam dk as a heal while I level and I've witnessed it heal npc characters instead of me I know if you are in mele range it will heal you but it sets up a nice combo with crit rush in early levels with the 3 second knockdown at distance.

    It think the intent was for it to be used in a healer capacity. It's a really obscure ability that is difficult to fit into a purposeful role. They just sort of handed it too us with no concern over feedback. Other games give you additional skills when an update comes out. In this game they just remake an old skill, sometimes there is a lot of care put into it and other times you scratch your head.

    I know it was ment more for dk healers but how dumb can you be to make a skill that will give the heal to the NPC if its closer to the target.

    Yeah they don't really seem to show much care or concern when it comes to DK stuff.

    Its kinda decent on a mag dk build for a cc besides fossilize. Up close and personal style.
