Dagger Storm

[SilvaRoberto]

i have level 2, it does extremely low damage, lets take the weakest mob i could find, a deer it takes 4/5 dagger storms ( 80/100 seconds to kill 1 deer) i feel there something wrong here or its a low level skill you get at 35 which isnt any good for the first 25 levels?

to be frank having only played the game 4/5 hours on this rouge and watching others getting alot more done i am making a taoist tonight

but this spell surely needs a buff? rogues being damage dealers and all?

update i was writing this before i finished killing that deer it was 6 dagger storms to put him down, 120 seconds of glory.

also as spells level up the cooldown could go down abit?

Pretty sure u use that spell as a flinch spell In PVP. Whilst U still attack.

so Leveling the skill is pointless, it’s all about using the flinch mechanic to gap close or escape? okay that’s disappointing for me anyway.

It's advertised as a flinch to assist in PvP. Not a DPS tool.

Here is the quote from the Main advertising thread Valkyrie...regarding daggerstorm.

Send forth your blades in a whirlwind of death around yourself. Dealing a small amount of true damage each second this new early game core spell is designed to give rogues a flinch chase mechanic.

True, maybe Leveling it reduces the cool down somewhat.

Ah thanks for the description helps a lot

unfortunatly the cooldown is 20 seconds at lvl 0/1/2 and probably 3

In a world where melee attacks are dodgeable by simply moving away, dagger storm already seperates the sin from the warrior as the ideal squishy killer.

Noticed a few sins using this spell in PvE too, helps take agro off wizards in lures

at level 3, you get 10 CD on it and it lasts 10 Seconds.
its for flinch in PvP, i also use it for mobs so they flinch so we can get more hits on mobs.
what i suggested was that if i does Damage to mobs but in PK it just flinches em

 

[Swoosh]

6 swings to kill a deer does sound abit excessive, but it is fully meant to be an aggro/flinch skill only. C/d has to be reasonable as any class near it, its annoying AF from what i tested on a lvl 80 warrior pvp'ing in beta.
