DW and 2H ults

JobooAGS · June 2019

The majority of stam dds in pvp are funneled into using DBOS as an ult. One explaination for this is that there aren't many good alternatives for offensive ults. Now I do not wish for DBOS to be nerfed, but how would you improve the DW and 2H ults for them to be more on par with DBOS?

I would say both the 2H ult (Onslaught) and DW ult (Thrive in Chaos) has their situational applications, thing is you will have to particularly build for it, unlike DBoS which can slapped on any build regardless of situation.

I really only seen the 2h ult being used as an execute and sometimes the dw ult in pve trash

I've never used the DW ulti or seen anyone use it, but the 2h ulti (especially Berserker Strike) is used by plenty of PvP'ers. I've seen it a couple of times in BGs and a lot in duels. Many people (me included) use it for reaching the resistance cap and the 8 seconds of CC immunity which make you really tanky. I think this ultimate is fine.

Your GPU might be going bad. If you aren't able to see the screen, check to make sure your monitor is plugged into the GPU. If that doesn't work, try using onboard graphics and update the drivers. If that still fails, you might need a new GPU to fix your black screen

2H ult needs to be undodgeable and unblockable for it to truly contend with DBOS. It has it's uses, but DBOS is better in a vast majority of circumstances.

DW ult needs to be a bleed.

Rend is a good ult in some situations, but the other morph sucks because it just doesn't do enough damage to ever justify using. I think one of the reasons very few people use Rend is because the animation is really weird and it's unclear whether you even landed it if you use the animation to go by. It does land instantly, and it's actually really easy to land, but if you only ever used the animation it would look like your enemy is always avoiding it if they don't stand still for two seconds after you use the ability because the animation is just so delayed. Using it is similar to dawnbreaker but not as wide of an arc. I think my tooltip on Rend fully buffed is almost 80k, which is nothing to scoff at. That damage still has to be healed one way or another.

Main problem with Rend is that it can just be purged off. It would be nice if it worked as a bleed, but I'd like it more if it couldn't just be removed one second after you blow 150 ult using it. Some abilities need exceptions to purge IMO.
