Adjust Shadow Wall recast before 4.2!

[SummerScorcher]

The DRK changes we got were certainly nice, but sadly not nearly enough.

This thread serves as hopefully a spur to the developers to at least adjust the recast time for Shadow Wall before 4.2 hits, as it's currently worse than both Sentinel and Vengeance (which paradoxically did get some attention it didn't need, though I suppose you could say that about the whole WAR change. Up for debate, I guess?)

Let your voice be heard! And hopefully this small numeric change will be considered for the patch.

I agree this would be helpful!

It should offer more or last longer.

I absolutely agree, and I doubt it would be all that difficult a change to make compared to the... other suggestions people have.

It should offer more or last longer.

No. It's literally edgy Sentinel, it is just on too long of a recast time. It literally just needs to have its recast lowered to be the same as Sentinel and Vengeance.

Valid, sure, but after seeing how WAR's getting a ****ton of changes after X amount of their playerbase decried "WE WANT MOAR," I'm quite fed up with simply saying "Can we get some change?" when we deserve a cheque payable to all DRK's for how slighted the class has been.

What's that? Paladins say they need more defensive utility on the "defensive" tank? Sentinel now lasts 90 seconds, we're so sorry for nerfing your DPS like 1%.

...Did someone say something about some Wall? No? Must have been the wind.

I don't disagree, but Shadow Wall is fine as is. I'd much rather they restore Shadowskinor provide another skill and merge Blood Weapon / Blood Price into the same button that toggles when in or out of Grit.

There are changes we could benefit from, but a longer, stronger Shadow Wall is just redundant and still doesn't fill the gap we have with our lack of mitigation. Furthermore, were it stronger, it would stack with TBN's 20% if used at the same time which would just be...excessive. Imagine a 40/50% Shadow Wall combined with a 20% TBN and a Galvanize / Nocturnal Shield.. its a bit much when they could just give Shadowskin back to fill the defense gap.

I think this works out to be a nerf (very small since blood price is LOL). If they share a button there is every possibility they will share a timer as well. Meaning that if you find yourself pulling you will need to hold blood price to be able to hit blood weapon as soon as you leave grit. I would much rather they take the stance lock off blood price and blood weapon so both skills can be used regardless of stance.

Ah... you're right, my bad, that's definitely not what we need then. Removing the stance lock like it used to be should be the solution then, that explains why they didn't tie them to one another. Thanks for the insight, I totally ddidn't think about that.
