Hidden Daggers, boycott it?

in The Militia Barracks
Instead of improving the base damage of our 2h-weapon (axe, hammer, scythe), the devs came out with a TR feature which makes no use of our weapon but needs us to hide no less than fifteen daggers in our belt, and throw them while stepping backwards.
While very in the spirit of previous out-of-the-blue creations by the devs, which also were not involving our weapon (deep gash, intimidation), HD is very not in the spirit of a Melee combat class.

    How do you boycott it? Not using it? Am I boycotting a lot of GWF powers since I don't use most of them? :wink:

    Jorah (if he is considered to be a GWF) threw and killed an assassin to save Daenerys. Okay, he did not throw a dagger. :)

    yeah, i hope they would change this daggers visually to something appropriate for warriors. throwing your own greatsword or axe or whatever barbaric weapon imaginable would do it. same damage effect, better visuals, why not?

    Jump back and throw your magical boomerang giant sword at them? That makes more sense than a swordsman with a bunch of really sharp daggers throwing them at you out of nowhere?!

    Yup Hidden Daggers doesn't really fit the class. Does it at least make somewhat sense from a DnD perspective? Yeaaaaah there are some relations... but its weak...
    Is it a good encounter? HELL YEAH!
    When M6 was on preview I already made a post that its stupid to give us this encounter, its base damage is too high, its effect is far too strong and it visually doesn't fit the class. However, im using it just because it is soo HAMSTER good. PvE and PvP it's just amazing.​​

    Yeah it's stupid it's so good. I don't use it because when I play my GWF, I want to just charge into the middle of my enemies and lay waste to them, not do all this dagger throwing. I don't mind stacking buffs to increase damage output instead of just having the increase (in fact, I love stacking buffs. It makes me feel like such an indomitable warrior).

    its like any other encounter to me and the jumb back is useful like when you are fighting the first boss in eToS if you dagger once you will still be in sure strike range but out of range of his AOE so you can melt his health and not take any damage. i dont see what all of the fuss is about yea Its just a TR encounter reskin but its good and useful and it does fit the class. In D&D one of the fighters can be Exotic Weapon Proficiency and on the list of exotic waepons are daggers and darts. I am sorry it doesn't fit what you think a GWF should use and you may be right throwing your weapon in an arc might sound better but honestly I think its a lot of whining over nothing.

    seriously? boycott hidden daggers? every GWF past level 20 has "boycotted" reaping strike and we have sure shown those devs whos boss... I mean if you want it changed yea post in the player feedback but calling for a boycott is just silly

    I could care less about the animation and how its the TRs blah blah blah. Its about the boost it gives and how its a HUGE bonus to us and a must have now. Keep using it before they nerf it, because with the amount of people who complain about HD it will at some point get nerfed.

    For Iron Vanguard, Hidden Daggers is kind of the only choice in epic dungeons since Frontline Surge disrupts the The Oathbound paladins tanking and the good tanks will not hesistate to tell you. But if Hidden Daggers contributes to better team synergy, then I have no prob using it.
  • eyceaethereyceaether Member Posts: 146 Arc User
    Hidden Daggers shouldn't give the damage buff it gives. TBH, it should reduce the enemies DR. If anything, Come And Get It should be the one that gives the damage buff...

    When the GWF finally gets a useful encounter people protest, lol.

    How about un-nerf grand fissure perhaps....? That's the problem, too many powers offer no valid use.
