shhhhh, we might actually be relevant again

Haha I just wanted to know if it was a bug or not, I would definitely start playing my magdk again if it wasnt a bug that whip animation is so good.

Did they do this on purpose or not? Either way, I can conclusively say that this is wayyyy too powerful.

Hitting a guy with three 10k+ whips in a row during a duel is NOT fair.....although goliath bash is a thing so who knows..

Dear ZOS,

Please allow this "feature" to come to the consoles before you fix it.

Sincerely yours,
Definitely not a DK

Same thing happening with maelstrom DW bonus

It's just ... Playing with it right now. It feels 100 times better as a dps class... not getting broken numbers.
I understand this might be so broken in pvp. But this cld get mag dk the boost they actually needed for a long time.
The elseweyr buffs werent enough

Yeah I was blown away at first and I checked the patch notes right away to see if they changed it. Super bummed it seems to be a bug .

Yeah this can't be intended, feels pretty busted lmao

So if you know it was strong why would you say anything. You’ve ruined it for console players now. You got to have a lot of time on your hands for you to play the game, find something that makes your class stronger, and then report it to the bug section for it to get nerfed.

Some of us don't want a stupid OP unfair advantage. Some might also play other classes and don't want to be stomped out by these bugs.

Imagine if the Assassin's Will proc from Merciless Resolve remained even after firing the arrow. Then it happened after the second arrow. And again...

Of course when it benefits your main class (if you have one) it's cool and maybe even fun for a few hours, but if you really care about balance as a whole then you'd pray for a speedy fix.

Oh I fully understand in a balanced game every bug should get reported and fixed. However, magdk has been playing the longest without an execute, engulfing flames still not landing even though it’s a cone, hard to land burning embers since it’s roll dodgeable, a sustain passive that requires burning yet multiple classes have access to a purge not to mention an an entire race, wings getting nerfed over 3 times, etc... I’m all for balance but it goes both ways, if Zos wants to take their time fixing the bugs to make dk play better, they can take that same time with (1) bug that makes them op.

So i went on my magdk today and i noticed molten whip isnt using up the seething fury buff anymore, the buff remains and allows you to use the special whip animation multiple times in a row. it does not reapply the buff but it seems like you can keep it up indefinitely with the right rotation while still using the whip.

Are you sure you didnt miss and just hit again while the buff is still active?

I messed around a bit with it after i saw this post and it wasnt keeping the buff

Actually, I'm going to double check this on a test dummy. That may be the case. But as a DK- I definitely realize that spamming the buffed whip would be completely unbalanced... I wouldn't want a Sorc to be able to spam me with buffed Crystal Frags.

Molten Whip at max hits harder than Bow Proc. This can't be intended.

Annnddd why not?

I would expect a skill with a harder condition to proc ( 3 skills have to be used and slotted on the same bar vs 4 consecutive light attacks on any bar), fire based ( if your using a destro , and requires being in melee range should hit harder.

UPDATE:

I just tested it. Yes, once you get three stacks of skills up- you can spam Molten Whip until it "degrades" down. From my testing- I could get at least four "empowered" (I know that's not the right term) whips off in a row before it degraded down. While I'm sure it'd be fun to mess around with in PVP- I'm not going to exploit a bug like this. I'll be running around on my non-DKs until it's fixed.

@ZOS_GinaBruno could you please look into a hotfix for this?

Ask yourself this, would you rather have this as a unintended buff or would you rather wait 4+ months for a chance at a rework of dk skills ( engulfing still not hitting every time, lack of an execute or execute passive, a sustain passive which can be countered by purges or dark elf race, etc..
Tbh I’ve played this game for a while and this bug is as close to what we dk needs and can use effectively rather than wait for the chance for devs to make the right choices in terms of buffs and nerfs.

MagDK are hitting 6k+ per whip hit and you are saying its ok?

Exploiting bug is definitely not ok,

It's ruining PVP, seema like given new ultimate without any cost!

Yeah 3-4 hits of empowered molten whip. Zos wth where you doing to break this??
