Why Does skystealer necklace, Increase splinter strike on DB? instead of another better more used skill?

[Askaria]

@BNS Devs, 

 

Why did you put Splinter strike dmg increase on Necklace for Shifting DB? Barely even use the skill let alone it only works during splinter for those 10/60 secs and most of the time u wont even be using splinter strike unless u cant 4f during splinter mode or dodging some mechs. 👿

 

And this skill can only be used ONCE during splinter since it has a 10 secs CD. like wtH was devs thinking putting on the neck dmg increase for this skill?

 

Please change the dmg skill increase to a skill that is actually used like onslaught or something. 

 

Even lotus has it on Wildfire which is a skill u can actually use way more often depending on your talent spec.

 

 

PLEASE CHANGE NECKLACE SKILL DMG INCREASE TO ANOTHER SKILL FOR SHIFTING BLADES DB. something that is actually used in rotations.

I think shifting blade has enough damage as it is without adding more to it.

 

You guys do 100M burst in ET gear.

 

I think you'll be fine with 1 bad gear piece.

lol the most broken class and he is not glad, he wants to go full broken and have 3 pieces of gear that increases its most powerful skills.

Nice!

Not really broken on DB, and it doesnt come without a trade off. ur sacrificing the chance to be a floor mat for super dmg. 

 

The main problem is that the neck increases a skill that isnt even used in any sort of way. almost next to no1 who plays shifting DB would even use this skill. 

 

Doesnt matter whether DB is top dmg or not, the fact doesnt change the fact that the neck is increasing on shifting build a skill that is not even used at all which is complete horseshit. while on the other lotus build it increases a skill that u actually use very often. 

 

How can it improve a used skill on one build while increasing the skill of another build that isnt even used, let alone at all. In those 10 secs you are not gonna be wasting time even LMB (Splinter strike) let alone it can be onli used once during the 10 secs since it has 10 sec cd. 

 

This is the major complaint, the neck should not be increasing the dmg of a skill that isnt even used at all. let alone the other build lotus it actually increases wildfire which is a skill u use nearly every 30 secs and can spam up to 3x per rotation. 

 

U dont see any other class have a skystealer neck that increases the skill dmg of a skill u nvr use in ur rotation. let alone do it only for 1 of the builds.

This is not exactly new or specific to DB. Light BD's Flicker gets buffed by earring but does ~4% of total damage at best (similar issue with wind specs sunder). Asking for balance in this game is like asking for a solution to world hunger, it can be done and everyone claims they want it, but it never happens. I can't remember which spec/class (I think it was earth SF), but they don't even normally use the skill that procs their bracelet...so how about that for balance and sensible choices.

Cool, how about we put a useful skill on KFM Ascension Stones too first? Be grateful you have Decimator on them. Almost if not every class has a useless skill on some item.

Thats the problem, u do use the skill on BD that it boosts, even if a little. 

the thing is on necklace for DB, the skill it boosts on shifting, you dont even use this skill. maybe once in ur lifetime as DB player u may use this but otherwise u will never use this skill........... while on lotus build it actually boosts a skill u use. I dont get why they chose this skill on shifting build to be boosted when clearly they know u dont even touch this skill for most players if not every single DB player. 

 

There is a difference between non-used skills and minimal use skills, im only annoyed because it is clearly boosting a skill in the non-used category unlike other classes and needs to be changed.  if the other skill build already has a it on a skill that is used, it shuld be changed accordingly.

After next balance patch the current 4-3 spec will be nerfed by 30% so you will want to play with "Master Splinter" (4-2) instead, and the LMB skill there will be buffed and used to extend Splinter duration.
