Warcry, New Beastmaster Skill Coming Later This Week

It stuns mobs baseline, that’s pretty defensive to me, as is the freeze on the Jormun’s Wrath node.

Im confident everyone will love it - it is a cool, usefull skill that adds many options - dont worry.

Baseline it has knockback too if you want it to be this defensive.

All the yelling! XD

WHAT? 

Still hasnt touched Primalist and Acolyte. And still planning to keep it that way :grin:

Checks out - LE is a game for gramps.

Looks like a solid skill, I’m not a fan of knock back though so good to see a way of speccing out that!

The shout barb was one of my favorite D2 builds. If it does decent damage and has a very fast cast speed, I would love to build around this. The cold spec seems great.

The variety of spec is great too. The idea of speccing it to support a melee build is neat as well.

WHAAAAAAAAATTTTTT. SORRY I CANT STOP MY WARCRY!!! lmao

We all hope that it has a cool sound!

Sound Teaser now! :stuck_out_tongue:

True berserk generally is forgoing defense and breath of eterra is a healing ability, but my main gripe with the primality is he is not as tanky as I would like him or his minions aren’t. Its a either or situation. So I was hoping I could get some res or more armor… something to make him be able to take some hits if you focus on your minions.

Tbh, i am not sure what you are talking about.

Primalist has insane defenses available to him, especially beastmaster.

But since they talked about some more defense changes in the patch preview, there will be a slight shakeup.

Beastmaster can get an aweful lot of damage reduction, especially if you go low-life.

Thinking about this and I know we’ll get our answer in a day or two but…I really hope this skill is in the lower half of the passive tree so other specs can get it. The Yormun freezing version would be very thematic with some Shaman builds.

Nah, its listed as beastmaster skill which usually means its above the halfway line. If it was accessible to all they usually tag it as a Primalist skill. Assuming since flanking strike is going bye bye that its taking that location.
Edit: Nothing to see here

That’s the plan. :wink:

 

That has never been the case.

Warcry is obtained by spending points on Beastmaster passives, so we call it a Beastmaster skill.

How many Points to get Reforged?

Well thats great to know looking forward to all masteries using it ill edit my post not to mislead

I have to disagree with you here, on paper it might look good, but in reality it doesnt. Theres a reason only 3 BM´s made it in the top 50 (in total across all the categorys in Ladder).

If you want to go 150+ waves in Ladder with a minion build alot of your gear/passives will have to go to the defense of your pets, or they will die within seconds.
Alot of those pet defenses comes from prefix slots, which means you cant stack that many set res affixes, and then you will have to use the suffix for res, and therefore cant stack armor/dodge/life.
All the damage reduction nodes (ursine strength/boar heart) are for when enemys are close, or you are hit by melee. That wont help us when the main reason we die are ranged. Sure we have some dodge too, but we cant go heavy into it as a big part of our gear goes to pet defense.
The 20% glancing blow (10 points), or the +100 health/armor node (10 points) in druid tree really doesnt make much of a difference either.

This is strictly from a Ladder perspective (which imo does reflect how strong a char is). For story and Mono running i think the Primalist/BM is more than fine. Its my favourite, so i have no complaints there.
