    You have GOT TO BE KIDDING ME!

    I thought the same thing. They could have made some reflectable skills non reflectable or, at the time, buffed force pulse to make it more appealing.

    Nerf BoL! - completely shuts down any ranged build (until sorc has magicka)!
    Nerf shield stacking! - completely shuts down ANY build (until sorc has magicka)!
    Nerf cleanse! - completely shuts down any dot build! (until templar has magicka)!
    Nerf cloak! - completely shuts down any build if you don't have detect pots!

    Nevertheless, I may admit that combination of 30k resists+wings+BRP DW brings a sweet feeling of parity when that surly glass cannon sorc can do nothing and you shrug off frags, and that cancerous resto light attack+ele weapon spam.

    If a dk player mentions wing's damage reduction in a debate about melee vs projectile skills, it is not a bad skill.

    Warden shild is annoying for range only builds too. Let dks have this version of wings.

    I would support a revert to the original DK wings... reflect was sooooo cool. However that was 100% damage mitigation for 6? projectiles so unlikely to make the nerf-herders happy. Maybe get up closer? LOL XD

    100% damage mitigation would imply that it reflected EVERYTHING for 6 seconds. That was not the case, it was 4 projectiles and/or 6 seconds whichever came first.

    Some DK skills do not just work for 5+ month.

    I get 0% dps to heavy attack from restro staff for example. But it must get 50%.

    Even necromancer get from his passives buff too it like 15% + 1500 oenetration + 3% dps when skill in slot + crit for skills slot on execute. And they have it to all, not only heavy attack.

    We have ZERO !!! 0%, skill just do not work !!!

    And do not work correct with lightning staff too.

    Wings is such trash now, that i even do not care.

    50% metigation for range attacks?
    It is useless !!! If damage is smaller than sorc damage shield, it is useless, if it is more, than that - you will need to heal. So spend 8 k + mana for that. A lot if attacks ignore wings !!!

    If there even will not be any more wings - do not really care. Trash skill that was so owernerfed, that is useless now, but only with good animation.

    Vampire skill negates 75+% all damage, gives speed run + stun protect.

    Ibetter slot it than this trash.

    Do not even care, skill is useless now.

    But fix other our skills already !!!
    They do not work for 5+ month!!!

    It is not even funny !!!

    Wings is not useless, however its not really worth slotting either due to high cost and low impact. It seems cheap enough for magDks, I disagree for stam though.

    Think about it, for much less of a sustain hit I can slot BRP dual wield + quick cloak and get:

    major expedition
    a small AoE dot
    major protection
    major evasion

    Or I can slot wings and get:
    %50 protectile mitigation(does not include dots or other side effects)
    2 seconds snare immunity.

    Thats it.


    While this is the case saying things like ''wings is overpowered'' is a little ridicilous to me.

    Lets talk nerfing cloak and bol and then we can talk nerfing wings.again.

    The wings don't need another nerf.

    The first one was rightful and I say that as DK player, it was just stupid to reflect a snipe and onehit the sniper with it, even though pretty funny as well.

    The wings how they are now are great, the mitigation counters the sniping players still pretty effective and if they don't even dodge after the snipe they get punished by the flamedamage, but not get instakilled by their own snipedamage, it feels more balanced in my opinion and should stay that way, I don't even wish the old wings back.

    Also as far as I know the wings don't get used so much anymore. In earlier days they were a must have on the class, and always if something turns into a must have it is propably to strong.

    I still prefer hardened armor - am I crazy?

    Hardened Armor is basically mandatory on any DK build. You keep HA up 100% during combat. Wings is generally only used reactively in certain situations. 100% uptime wouldn't be possible for most builds. So it's not "Hardened vs Wings".. It's more like "Hardened + Wings vs Hardened + no Wings".

    Major resolve sources can not be directly compared to mitigation abilities since every class pretty much has one like hardened armor or get it passively(nightblade).

    If you're referring to PvE , sad thing is, both hardened and wings are sort of useless on all builds except tank Dk.Wings was an ability I slotted a lot for vMA, and now its not even worth for that.

    Why complain about 50% mitigation when Wardens can 100% absorb projectiles, including projectile stuns. Wings isn’t bad.

    Cloak is stronger ranged Damage Mitigation than wings btw. Not only does it reduce the Damage of projectiles fired at you to 0 it also negates ranged ccs and any dots you have on you so first we gotta make cloak not ignore ccs and dots and cut the ranged Mitigation in half then we can nerf wings again you ok with that?

    Oh look another nerf thread. As a magsorc main in pvp I hate fighting against DKs with wings but these nerf threads have to stop.

    You don't like a skill? A set? A class? Learn the game and figure out a way around it. Stop expecting everything on a silver platter.

    Everytime I see nerf threads I just see snowflakes.
