Please Blizzard… I can’t take it anymore.
I just want to stop dying because my DH randomly decides to jump in place instead of actually work properly!!!
This story it’s unbelievable …
It’s been more than 4 years. Please fix this skill.
Four years of Diablo Immortal.
Four years of new classes, new systems, new gems, new mechanics, new balance changes.
Is it finally time to fix Daring Swing?
I’m genuinely asking at this point. The skill has been behaving awkwardly since launch. DH players have spent years getting stuck on terrain, jumping in place, hanging on invisible objects, or watching the skill decide that moving one centimeter is apparently a valid use of a mobility skill.
At this stage, Daring Swing feels less like a skill and more like one of the great unsolved mysteries of software engineering.
And while we’re at it, can we talk about Strafe?
After the recent buffs to Blood Knight damage, to the point where Gauntlet has become almost irrelevant because bosses evaporate anyway, does it still make sense for DH to keep carrying this penalty?
As shown in the screenshot, Focus Fire still applies a 50% damage penalty to nearby enemies. Think about that for a moment.
And that’s not even the only issue with Strafe.
For some reason, Strafe still has that 0.2-second activation delay. It may sound insignificant on paper, but in practice it constantly disrupts the flow of gameplay. You press the button, you think you’re firing, you reposition accordingly… and then you realize nothing is happening because Strafe was still in its countdown window.
(Meanwhile, other channeling skills, such as Barbarian’s Whirlwind, feel immediate and responsive).
