Who gave Dark too much Monster before recording this

“Blood Wings” instant cast - lasts 10 seconds - conjure vampiric blood wings allowing blood dk to double jump/glide for ten seconds. Upon expiration blood wings pull all enemies in ten yard radius to you… Just sayin’ how about this?

Hey just found your channel this morning and i gotta say, i love this style of content and your presentation is fantastic. Keep up the good work.

Man, I've always had this headcanon since Legion of my BDK being this San'layn Vampire Tank. So, thematically I'm on board. As much as I'm not sold on "Blood Beasts" they just seem like re-flavoured juicier blood worms. Gameplay loop though, not so much. It sounds like such a gross way to play. I'm not to against defensives used offensively, for instance the Lichborne radiating Death Coils.. that Torghast talent, while BDK has little to no synergy within the tree for Death Coil (something that could be remedied via talent options perhaps), said Coils could self target as you're treated as undead so you have free healing and a touch of damage. HOWEVER. We already have DRW filling that "offensive defensive" role, we don't need to turn VB offensive just for the hell of it. The degeneracy is driven harder by the fact we have stuff to reduce VB's cooldown faster, in Red Thirst. (To be clear I'm not advocating removal of Red Thirst) But it's hard to argue that isn't a big contributor to the degen loop. Furthermore, isn't the season two set bonus basically a "San'layn lite" experience, iirc it has VB as a key part of the tier bonus. If it has to be gameplay and not purely cosmetic, surely there's a better way of reaching the same goals from a Hero Talent class fantasy PoV. Look at Lana'thel, Kelseth and so on. If Rider of the Apocalypse can hit that mark, they can do better than this. Without going to overboard, give blood as a default class more vampirism feel than just "blood and gore/bones" feel, and you'll have a better starting of point. Blooddrinker baseline fits the vampirism theme, heck a talent that turns Death's Caress into blood drinker would be.. different, without adding extra buttons. (I miss using it, and having PvE Dark Simulacrum spell stealing ;_; ) Blooddrinker seems to never get any use anymore. Consumption feels similarly dead as a talent. To cap off this wall of text (sorry), I really wish they'd fecking do one with all this root in one place compounding effects inside D&D. I've made peace with the slow inevitable end, coming to face you that is the BDK fantasy as they'd have it, but the root in one place D&D is a far from pleasant experience. Movement, M+ guess I'm out of D&D now till I can drop a fresh charge. Forced I have to be away from the boss, I can't smash it in the face movement, Raid. Just give us the old auras back, if you can give warriors Stances and Paladins their auras. You can grant them to DK's. Or just retool the Necrotic Aura, Decomposing Aura, to be PvE auras, have whatever spec thematics they desire, allowing switching if you talent into alt paths. But they all have D&D effects around the player in a given area. Okay, I'll stop now, I just love BDK, I'm so sorry for this. 😂

Thanks for giving us Your point of view Darkmech! I hope they are going to polish the talents some more!

Thanks for the video Dark! As a quick aside, one thing I haven't seen really talked about is just how gorgeous those icons are for the Hero Talents, both for DK in San'layn and Deathbringer but also other speces like Priest's Voidweaver. Art team always knocks it out of the ballpark but these are especially gorgeous artpieces that I'm just not seeing get the recognition they deserve. On the actual topic though, while I love the vampiric aesthetic of San'layn in Blood, it seems in it's current state kind of like Breath in Frost - super powerful when you pull it off but with an annoying play pattern it encourages and limited flexibility. I hope Blizzard at least opens the options up a bit and brings Deathbringer up slightly to be able to compete with San'layn, or it'll feel bad having to lean into a degen play pattern for that sweet haste.

He is alive

I love it keep it simple and keep the visuals looking good. A few tweaks to smooth it out and have it make sense but they are on the right track.

at the 1:11 mark that is the Blood Strike icon when he says Heart strike.

Thanks for the Info

Welcome to being a guardian druid during Incarn 😂

this is literally everything i wanted sanlayn to be. group buffs. and mad rampage. kind sucks that its inflexible so hopefully all the builds are pretty close.

I feel like even if they change up the BDK baseline I don't have great hopes for this. I don't mind the spinning plates I have right now, I actually enjoy managing the resources we have. What I don't want is them to dumb down that stuff so they feel it is acceptable to make San'layn more plates to spin when the problem really is that it's just not fun. I really like the class fantasy so I'm hoping they end up doing some major reworking on it. Tired of this proc a buff now spam heartstrike to keep it going gameplay.

So what changed?

69th like hehe this actually seems something that can be really great

DND is still stationary on the ground? Cringe
